Seattle Filipinos displayed once
more their famous hospitality
when Mr.. Tomas Confesor and
his family stopped in Seattle on
their way to Washington, D. G.,
late this month.
For luncheon on their second
day, the Confesors were guests of
Victoria Acosta Velasco, president
of the Filipino Community OF Sc
attic and Vicinity. The following
Sunday, Mr.. and Mrs. Santiago
Beltran entertained the visitors
with Filipino dishes at their home
at 531 18th Ave. On the third day
they were dinner guests of Mrs.
Aurelia S. Domingo, president of
the Filipino Community Women's
Society, at her home at 54S 18th
Ave. The same day they were
taken around the city for sight
seeing by Mr.. Bob Greenman. Be-
fore they left the Confesors had
breakfast with Mr.. and Mrs. Pho
De Cano.
No wonder, before they left, Mr..
and Mrs. Confesor expressed their
at the warm hospital
ity of their countrymen in this
city. Other invitations to the Con-
fesors had to be declined owing
to their limited time in town.

She might have perfected the
weapon without knowledge of her

Picking the v bombs evidently
was costly to Germany's atomic
bomb progress. For these bombs
equied pobably more manpowe-
and more scientific effort than
they proved to be worth.
Even in the United States, there
was not enough manpower to de-
velop simultaneously all four ways
of making successful atomic
bomb that were reported to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by DR.. Vannever
Bush, head of the Office of Scienti-
fic Research and Development.
Americans, British and Cana
dams concentrated on what seem
ed to be the best phases, often
choosing those that interfered least
with other war work.
The Germans had other troubles,
stemming either from their mis-
treatment of Jews, or from the dis
gust which a good many scientists
felt for the Hitler regime. In
1912, when the Allied atomic bomb
program was just getting under
good Roadway, the Germans trans
ferred A. T. Bombke, one of their
good men on atomic bombs, into
Radar research. Bomke had been

made atomic disintegrations. The
German backwardness in Radar
was partly due to the way of life
that cramped Germanic science.
Even so the Germans made some
brilliant progress. The heavy
water which Germany tried TO get
from Norway, the worlds only
production plant, was prospective

DO a more efficient job than the
pile of graphite bricks that United
States scientists used as an oven
to produce atomic fire. There is
also a remote possibility that the
Nazis wanted the heavy water be-
cause it might be useful in pro.
oucing atomic power to drive SUBJ

before the United STATES entereo
the war. More than year before
Pearl Harbor, they did still oetler
by clamping down voluntary
censorship that resulted in euspen-
sion of publication of articles on
the bomb, atomic power, or related
discoveries.
In the end, Hitler tried to kid
nap Niels Bohr from Denmark, and
other scientists to do his forced
atomic bomb research.
In contrast, American, British
and Canadian scientists were not
urged. In fact at first they had
to do their own urging. This
sta in March 1899, when DR..
George Pegram, head of the ply
sizes department of Columbia Uni
versity, sent Enrico Fermi, emigre
from Italy and now an American
citizen, who in some ways is the
pioneer of the bomb, to Washing
ton to confer with the Navy. The
NAVY replied that it would like to
be kept informed.

ARMY ENGINEERS
TO CONDUCT TEST

An Army Engineer board ap.
pointed by the Division Engineer
at Atlanta, Ga, to study the best
and most economical method OF
dredging with seagoing hoppe.
dredges, met in Wilmington last
week and visited sites where the
method known as agitation dredg.
ing might be used to advantage,
it was announced yesterday by
Col. E. E. Haring, local Army
Engineer.
The board consists of P. M.
Smell, principal engineer of the
local office; R. F. Rhodes, p-inci-
pal engineer of the Savannah Of
flee; A. L. Brunson, principal
engineer of the Charleston office;
Maj. c. F. Trainor,e of the Savan-
nah office; and O. B. Stewart,
senior engineer from the Atlanta
division office.
The ordinary method used by
seagoing hopper dredges, similar
to the Dredge San Pablo now op-
Grating in this district. is to pump
the material into the dredge's
bins, and when they are full, to
proceed to sea or other available
dumping ground and unload
Under the agitation method, the
material is pumped into the
oredge's bins, but instead of going
to dumping grounds, the dredge
continues to pump into the full
bins, the material overlooking into
the channel and being carried
away by the tide. This method
can be used only on ebb tides
when the material will be carried
away, and is practicable only
when the material to be dredged
is mud and silt.
Two weeks of tests will be made
in the Wilmington district. The
board will then report to the Di-
vision Engineer, South Atlantic
Division, on the results of the
tests, with a view to adopting
the method at such localities in
this area as it appears to be
more economical and practicable,
it was stated.
