Atomic Man
lWashington Post


 one of the very few dissidents to the apocalyptc chorus of scientists and journalists about the probable historical consequences of the atomic bomb the celebrated British military critic, Maj. Gen J. F. c. Fuller. General Fullers notion is that weapon, however catacylsmic, remain absolute for very long In a note appended to his book, Armaments and History, published about year ago, he made much of what he calls the constant tactical factor meaning that every innovation in weapons has later been followed by the discovery of effective defense The of defense against the atomic bomb envisaged by the general was a sort of couneratomc rocket controlled by radar which would find and explode the hostile planes missiles in nterpenetary space However, General Fuller careful to point that this form of defense would last only somebody found way of sending rockets horizontally instead of vertically
 Not enough time has yet elapsed since the fateful 5th of August 945, to test this theory of the con stant tactical factor in relation to the atom bomb. And if trust what another learned gentleman called Dr. Gerald Wendt tells us there may never be any opportunity to test it. In relation to the crystalline toxin developed by the Chemical Warfare Service, the bomb is just about obsolete as Belaeric sngshot in relation to the automatic rifle When the first atom bomb dropped Hiroshima blasted roasted to death 100000 uckless Japs and where of the super -duper economy size bombs may conceivably kill 100000 at the most, one little cube of the toxin larger than artgum eraser will kill 180 million human beings at a clip No elaborate detonating apparatus is required, and the stuff, whatever it is, is far easier and far less expensive to come by than uranium 235 plutonium 239. Apparently, there is no need to worry about radar-detectng devices any of that of thing fer. from what Dr. Wendt said at Schenectady the other day take it there necessity drop the stuff by airplane to send it by rocket balloon since it could be smuggled into an enemy country inside parcel Thus if it comes to war said Dr. Wendt most people will die from silent inSdious weapons that make no noise give warnings destroy no forts cities"
 e trated Magazine which may may not persuade you that he knows what he is taking about For ourselves we are not at all skeptca and since despair of persuading scientific friends to throw their formulae into the fire or the politicians to stop playing power politics, we putting all have the hope that General Fullers constant tactical factor will somehow produce superantidote for the new super poison.

FRED ALEXANDER LEAVING SUNDAY
 FOR BIRTHPLACE

Fred Alexander. native of Britain, who for the past six years has been a powerhouseman here for the AL aska Electric Light and Power Company, is heading south this weekend to commence a journey hack to his birthplace at Grays, Essex County, England. Grays is located about 20 miles from Lon don.
 This will be Alexander's first trip back to his first home since 1925. He plans to visit there for about three months, returning to Juneau about next March Two brothers and a sister who never wandered, will welcome him upon his arrival at Grays
 Alexander plans to sail to Seattle or Vancouver aboard the Princess Louise next Sunday. Then he will either fly or go by train across the continent to New York City Just WlldJ SIlIp lle Will UOdl 0 AOl oi ibeilil IS not yet certain.
 After first crossing the Atlantic to America in 1907, Alexander did not make his initial landing in AL aska until 1910 At that time still a British subject, he returned to England in 1914 and served in the British army through the First World War. He returned to Alaska in 1920 and has been located in and around Juneau since 1921, steadily except for his 1925 visit back to Grays.
 For many years, Alexander was employed as a poWerhouseman by the old Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company, doing duty at Thane, Annex Creek and Salmon Creek before changing over to the AEL&P staff.

FREIGHT BY AIR

The prolonged shipping strike on the West Coast has given the air carriers chance to experiment in the field of carrying freight to Alaska by plane While the cost is than many can afford to pay as yet air carriers are continuously working toward lower rates One of cutting costs may be in the use of larger planes and note that Anchorage and Fairbanks are to. receive some air freight soon on four-engined craft Juneau is at disadvantage of difficult terrain surrounding inadequate field which so far has stumped the operation of planes larger than two- engined
 The normally higher costs of water transportation to Alaska makes the Territory fertile field for the air freighters and it may be that means will be developed the too distant future to bring our freight in by cheapy it was once brought ir Aby boat.
 Until the recent strike by VIVA pilots, the strike twas not threat in the field of air transport which another advantage.
