The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-21

ing of the Rotary Club yesterday | noon at The Elton. Emphasizing | that atomic release is no secret, | Mir. Duryee declared that the estab- lshment of world cooperation and | a world federation constitution is the only safeguard against "the | most fiendisn weapon ever con- ceived by the human brain,'
 Right Side of Ledger
 MT. Duryee's talk was delivered | from the standpoint of what elec- tronic and atomic scientists have done for mankind. On the right" side of the ledger-and he em- phasized "right"-the Mighty Mid get of Matter (the electron) has brought sight ships and planes, To- comotive and submarines, and to all forms of transportation. This is direct result of Radar and Super sonics. It will save untold numbers of lives in the future because clumsy methods of communication and navigation have been supplanted by the instantaneous flow of electrons through space travelling at the speed | of light. Even under the sea, the SuperSonic vibrations open vast
  for detection oi school of fish, upon which millions of people today rely for their livelihood Brain testing with electronic circuits has come to the aid of medicine detecting such delicate changes as the faint est sign of tumor of the brain, long | before other symptoms materialize. | Electronic developments of war have made vast strides in the field ot television which alone will put 600,- 900 people to work within the next | twelve months for the purpose of | furthering our entertainment, | knowledge and education. One manufacturer, he asserted, is plan , ming the broadcasting of television | on a 24-hour basis from airplanes at height of 30,000 feet. This prof ect is known as "stratavision" and | by employing Is planes above the United States, the projected trans mission will be far less expensive and practically free from distortion. Televised pictures will be clear and | the entire country can be supplied | from these broadcasting planes operating in relays. The present studios he explained, will remain as the original source of the broad cast and the planes will simply pick up these televised programs and relay them to the earth, directly | to peoples antennas with no refiec- tion or impairment from man-maoe structures.
 New Markets
 Walkie talsies for commercial use i will open new markets for elec- | tronic equipment. MT. Duryee also | predicted that within one year, we | will have a fully developed system | of magnetic wire recorders which | will permit an eight-hour recording | to be made on reel of fine mag | netic wire-and with no breakage | of records to bother us. Moreover, | the recording can be wiped off the | wire by simply running 1t through | a demagnetizer so that the instru- | ment can be made ready to take new recording at the flip of switch.
 On the other side of the ledger of | human accomplishment, atomic | scientists have developed the most | fiendish weapon the human brain | ever conceived of. Since the atomic l bomb was almost ready for use by |
  MT. Duryee applauded the accom- plishment of American physicists in | bringing about the completed bomb | in the nick of time" He traced the l development of uraneum fission, eX- plained in a general way the differ ence between electrons, neutrons and protons within the atom, and then launched an appeal for world | government through education. A world government with world fed eration and a world police force has become a paramount necessity now that atomic fission is an accom- plished fact, MT. Duryee said. How can we blandly sit here" he asked, and permit this thing to become 0 political football when our State Department Is making such noble efforts to establish the bomb as a potential force for world peaceP Can you visualize the tremendous amount of energy one small pound of uranium possesses? Well, briefly, there are 100000 people in the world. If each of these 2,-0OO,- people worked as hard as they can for an entire day exerting their maximum muscu- lar energy. they could each generate about one xilowatt hour of energy Nv If we multiply this vast amount of energy that all of the people all over the world could make in an entire day-if we null tiply this by five, we have the amount of available energy in one pound of uranium 235 which is lib- erated in a fraction of second!
 That is why I say we must de- velop one World-or none. We must develop world brotherhood operat- ing under world constitution just as. back in 1739, we developed a con- stitution of the United States, which brought peace out of chaos in our own land.
 World Government
 we must actively promote this proposition of a world government in every way we have at our disposal and with every ounce of our energy. We must believe In 1t with all our hearts, until, as Tennyson wrote almost hundred years ago:
 Until the war drums cease their
 throbbing
 And the battle flags are furled
 In the Parliament of Man--the
 Federation of the World"
 MT. Duryee ended his talk with an appeal to make the world secur- ity conscious, so that every person in every land would insist through his appointed leaders, that his coun- try be made partner in this world government plan, which our State Department tentatively announced last week. Atomic development will go forward regardless of controls we might wish to establish, he said, emphasizing that there is no "sec- ret" to atomic energy release. What we must have among ourselves and
