Burning Coal in Mine to Produce
Power Predicted by Scientist

Washington with the National De-
fense Research Committee, declared
that although the direct results of
wartime Investigations were out
standing, the byproducts results
were equally significant.
For example, he said, an impor-
tant contribution to the knowledge
OF organic nitrogen compounds was
made by the scientists who helped
develop RDX, the new high explo-
sive which is so per cent more pow
erful than TINT.
Spectacular as were the results of
wartime chemical research, they
might have been achieved more
rapidly and less expensively if closer
cooperation had been effected early
in the war between the armed forces
laboratories and the civilian chem
lists of the National Defense Re-
search Committee, he asserted, add
ing:
Petty jealousies and the demand
for credit led to disputes between
what appeared to be almost rival
units. Overall research control was
lacking"
"Nuclear energy" he said, "the
scientific discovery OF the present
day, which has shown it's power to
destroy. will undoubtedly be turned
from instrumentalities of war to ap-
plications for the wd flare Of ALL"

Special Dispoich TO The Stor

BALTIMORE, May 25-Coal may
be burned in the mine, instead of
being removed to produce power in
the future, Prof. Roger Adams, head
of the chemistry department in the
University of Illinois and chairman
of the board of directors of the
American Chemical Society, said last
night in the first Remsen Memorial
Lecture, sponsored by the society S
Maryland section.
Just as sulphur is melted in the
ground and pumped out in liquid
form, it is not too fantastic to be-
lieve that with cheap oxygen, such
as has been discovered in the Soviet
Union, coal may be burned in the
mine," asserted Professor Adams,
whose topic was Chemical Research
in the War and Postwar Periods"
The heat generated in the gases
and the subsequent burning of the
carbon monoxide would provide the
power for utility plant nearby" he
explained. THE carbon .monoxide
might also be reduced to petroleum.
With the present conditions in the
coal industry, investigations of this
kind may be stimulated"
