ONE DROP ATOM GAS COULD KILL
 SCORES BY RAYS

NEW YORK, May 2s.-One small drop of atomic poison gas, in liquid form, can endanger every person in a great industrial plant, or it's equivalent.
 A concentration of this so-called gas could kill every person within about one kilometer tsix-tenti2s of a mile) of a oentral point.
 In either case the killing would be done, not by the chemical re- action of true poison gases, but by the radioactive rays from atomic fission products.
 These are the basic facts be- bind the report in Washington by w. A. Higinbotham, chairman of the Federation of Atomic Scientists, that along with germ warfare, there is another new metEod of war po- tentially as dangerous as atomic bomEs.
