The tickets with the calculated inches - or feet of rainfall must be in by the end of this month to count on the November prize money.

Russia has all the "brains" neces-
sary to produce atomic bombs
whether or not any information L
obtained outside the country.
-Four groups OF nuclear physicists
worked on uranium fission at some
time during the war ana presumably
still are engaged in such researches.
Some Of the essential early dis
coveries which were basic to the
Manhattan project have been made
independently in the Soviet Union.

Receive Stain Prize.
"A few weeks ago is was announced
that Professors G. N. Flerov and K.
A Petrazak of the Physico-Tech
nical Institute at Leningrad had
been awarded the Stain prize Of
the Soviet Academy of Scientists
for discovering spontaneous fission
of the uranium atom" They actually
did the work for which the prize
wastawarded, according to the Chi
cago group, in 1910 and published
their results for all the world. They
received, in fact, only second prize,
indicating that In the opinion Of the
RsSians themselves their work had
no very great practical Importance.
1t was, however, "an interesting
discovery" according to the Chicago
scientists, although it has not even
the remotest connection with atomic
bombs. They had found that ura-
MUM and thorium atoms some
times split naturally without neces-
sity of any outside bombardment,
either by man made neutrons or
cosmic rays.
IAN analogous discovery" says
the Chicago report, would be to
have found in the field of ordinary
chemistry that out of a million
shells in an ordnance storehouse
one will explode, all by itself, once
in a million years, without any
decorating mechanism being put
into action.
Shows Skilled Experimentation.
What the achievement did prove
Is the high level of research in
nuclear physics in Russia. Because
of the extreme weakness of the
spontaneous fission effect it could
have been discovered only by ex-
traordinarily skillful experiments
