DR.. Wendt, in his talk, made M
specific mention of possible methods
of spreading the new poison.

However, in a discussion of radio
active by-products of the atomic

tamination Of reservoirs, stating:
And yet an atomic bomb would
not even be necessary because enor-
nous quantities of such radioactive
material are produced in the course
of manufacturing the bomb.
These powerful products OF
the plutonium plant could them
selves be dropped in small bombs

effective in rendering the water
supply fatal.
1T would not even be necessary tc

reservoirs and forms a complicated
branching network which would

|S14,616,oCO Deficit
Is Faced by Pennsy,
ice Hearing Is Told
BY fh5.Assoeioted Press

Walter S. Franklin, vice president
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, told
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today his line faces a $14,616.-
900 deficit this year-first in its 100
years Of operation.
Mr.. Franklin said that even ii
the commission grants the Is per
cent freight rate increase which the
railroads have asked, the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad probably will have q
net income deficit of $9,369, 900 In
1947.
Testifying at an ICC hearing on
the rate increase petition, he said
II think this picture will empha-
size more than any other statement
I could make, the gravity of the
present railroad situation. 1t is a sit
uation that cannot be corrected by
management"
Mr.. Franklin estimated that wage
and payroll tax increases and ad-
vancing prices of materials will cost
the Pennsylvania 500, 800 900 in 1916.
He said that the company antici-
pates for 1947 a volume of freight
and passenger traffic greater than
for any year prior to 1912.
with this enormous volume, we
should earn enough money to con-
tinue to retard debt and built up
our property" the Philadelphian as
serted
But instead, we are actually add
ing to our deferred maintenance and
'pinching pennies wherever we can.
In the case of the Pennsylvania the
deferred maintenance total is in ex-
cess of $4,000, ,00O."
Mr.. Franklin said that although
class l railroads-through increased
efficiency and heavier business vol
ume-had absorbed a $1,000, 900 900
increase in costs before January /,
1946, increases in expenses for labor
and materials since then have
totaled 1913, 100000, with material

BY til Associoted Pres,

More or less cryptic hints of ter
rifying new weapons of death came
from three directions today.
One was tucked away in Secretary
of Commerce Wallace's controyer-
sial foreign policy letter to President
Truman-a passing but significant
reference to radioactive poison gas
Another was contained in a radio
address by DR.. Gerald Wendt
tor-scientist, who spoke of a
er-deadly" poison so potent a
single ounce could kill every person
in the United States and Canada
Maj. Gen. Alden H. Watt, chief
of the Army's Chemical Corps
frankly acknowledged that his ex-
perts have worked with toxic agents
that have power far, very far be-
yond anything we had known in
previous chemical warfare re-
search"
Gen. Waits remark to reporter
was a guarded commentary on the
address at Schenectady, N. Y, last
night by DR.. Wendt, editorial di-
rector of the magazine Science Il
lustrated.
DR.. Wendt said the poison was an
innocent-looking crystalline toxin
that had been developed by the
Chemical Corps.
He estimated that seven millionths
of a gram, "a quantity too small to
see," is sufficient to kill one person.
This means" he said. That one
gram is enough to kill 1000, 900
human beings and one ounce enough
to kill 180,000,00o."
Gen. Watt said he did not know
which specific poison the speaker
was referring to, so he refused to
speculate how it might be spread.
Rivals Atom Bomb.
The general was emphatic, how
ever, in expressing belief that the
potentialities of poison or biological
warfare rivals the atomic bomb in
Importance to national defense"
Discussing the tactical and strategic
use of such a weapon, he asserted
that it has a f1exibility the atom
bomb doesn't have-it can be directed
against individuals H. :
- The chemical Warfare Service
commander said he preferred to
avoid discussion of Mr.. Wallace's
reference to radioactive poison gases
Mentioning "a world of atomic
bombs and other revolutionary
weapons, such as radioactive poison
gases and biological warfare" the
long Wallace letter made no other
allusion to the subject.
However, the fact that Mr.. Wal
lace wrote of "other" weapons than
the atomic bomb suggested that
he was referring to something be-
sides the now well-known by-prod-
uct of the bomb explosion itself.
Produces Two Forms.
While there was no amplification
this much is known about radio
activity:
The atomic bomb, in decorating
produces radioactivity in two forms
% The direct radiation of high
speed, INTERPRETATION rays at the
instant of detonation; CD contain
ination resulting from the creation
OF fission products representing
roughly the ash of nuclear fission
In itself this characteristic of the
bomb represents one form of poison
warfare.
But in the operation of atomic
energy plants the same by-products
of nuclear fission occur. These
products constitute problem OF
disposition.
Hence it might be assumed that

Oregon Hospital Fire
|Extinguished Without
Injury 10 Patients
BY the Assoeioied Press

PORTLAND, Oreg.. Sept. ia
fire that started in the third-f1oor
nurses dressing room of the Cof-
fey Memorial Hospital here early
today was brought quickly under
control and there were no injured
amcng the 125 patients.
Nurses moved patients in the
threatened portions to safety within
10 minutes and there was no dis
order among others in the lower
hocrs.
Chief Fire Investigator William
Goerz reported others were shifted
into wings and to makeshift beds
in halls and offices. Eight patients
were taken next door to guest
house Of the Volunteers of America,
where they remained for the rest
of the night.
A few were dismissed and sent
home.
Ether Containers Broken.
Head Nurse Maxine Sinclair re-
ported about IS to 40 patients had
to be moved. A few bedridden were
taken to other sections in their
beds.
One nurse reported patient said
I'm not scared, but I love the ex-
element" A male patient was
seated in a hall in his wheel chair,
calmly putting a cigar as firemen
climbed to the upper levels before
the flames were completely extin-
guished.
All ether containers in the surgi-
cal wing were broken to prevent
explosion before the flames were
near them.
Douglass Johnson, a labora tory
aide, reported he discovered the
fire in the nurses dressing room in
cupola near the attic. He turned
in an alarm and reached hand fire
extinguisher but the smoke was too
thick when he tried to approach
the room.
Fire Doors Closed Quickly.
He said the nurses had changed
shifts an hour earlier.
The first alarm was turned in at
1919 am. and by lis the fire was
under control. Flames never reached
beyond the front section of the top
floor in the central section. Nurses
closed fire doors Immediately and
hemmed in the fame and smoke,
Inspector Goerz said.
Patients on the top third floor
were taken out first.
The institution has 100 beds and
covers eight city lots in the edge
of the city's downtown section.
