10Th Century club
Hears Address bp
Admral Furer
By Gretchen Smith

The United States should 60 slowly
in sharing the secrets of the atomic
bomb, Rear Admiral Julius A. Furer
declared yesterday in an address
before the Twentieth Century Club.
Discussing The Evolution of
Weapons During the World War
| the Admiral declared that other
nations, knowing the United States
to be traditionally a peace loving
Nation, with no aims at aggression
should be willing to trust this coun-
try with the secret of the world S
newest instrument of destruction,
realizing that the United States
will not take personal advantage of
its secret.
Meantime, he cautioned, the mill
tary, naval and air forces of the
Nation should be kept up to normal
strength. 1T would be foolish for us
to scrap all conventional means of
national defense" he said.
1t will not be possible to launch
atomic bombs against the United
States from points in Europe or
Asia for some time to come, he
continued. although it might be pos
sible to launch them from bases
nearby. For that reason, he empha-
sized, the United States should see
that such nearby bases are guarded
and thai Others don't move in"
The United States has the greatest
opportunity ever given any nation
to use its power in preserving world
peace, Admiral Furer went on, and
for that reason I'VE must not weak
en- our opportunity by giving up our
means to insure it,
The speaker sketched the war
time use of radar and pointed out
possibilities for its use in civilian
life. Radar can be very helpful, he
said, in making aviation safer, as
well as making the ships at sea
more secure 1t might even assist
railroads in avoiding accidents, he
added.
At the business session prior to
the program the club announced a
S3,5o5 budget for the year, which
will provide for gifts to local phi
lanthropies.
The club also voted to support a
drive for books for Russia, the cam
paign to be headed by Mrs. Philip
Sidney Smith. Classics of all kinds
and good modern literature, both
American and English, are desired
to be sent to Russia to help fill
libraries whose contents were de-
stroyed Books may be sent to any
District library for this purpose, it
was explained, or sent to the Twen-
tieth Century Club meetings at the
YWCA.
