Public Interested
In Prevention

Requests began to arrive, so I
called up the National Committee on
Atomic Information which is near
the Washington office of the West
ern Newspaper Union; ordered the
pamphlets; and had the nerve to
ask the committee to mail them out
didn't know it then, but it costs
the committee, which is, of course,
non-profit organization and skimps
along on handful of small cash
donations, four cents for the PAM
phlet, a cent and a half for the
stamp, two cents to address the en-
velope, another cent to insert, seal
and mail! Eight and a half cents,
altogether. My generous gesture
toward preserving civilization had
turned out to be rather lame.
But that was only the beginning.
An avalanche began to descend on
me. At last count the requests
reached over three thousand. The
committee didn't know what to do.
The letters came from such an in
telligent and earnest set of people
who were so anxious to do some
thing that the committee hated to
disappoint them.
Twice, begged the public to hold
off, but the committee is still filling
the requests while its funds hold
out, or more donations come in.
Which is what happens when you
get an atom by the tail.

At the institute" in Washington,
authorities will explain just what
effect atomic energy can have on
your life if you are one of those
who aren't going to be destroyed by
it. was going to say lone of the
lucky Ones" but you won't be lucky,
If atomic warfare starts, even if you
are among those whose lives are
spared.
We have all heard a lot of dire
prophecies about what the atom
bomb can do, if it once gets on the
loose. Also, what wonders atomic
energy can perform in building
better world, if it is confined to
peaceful and productive activity.
But by far the most impressive
footnote on the subject came to me
in the repeated words of a scientist
speaking not scientifically, or for
quotation, but very intimately of
his own private thoughts, and his
own personal plans.
He has lectured a great deal on
the subject of atomic energy, and
is one of those intimately concerned
with its development. Suddenly, one
day he realized that he had better
make some personal plans to pre-
pare for the future in this atomic
age of which he had spoken so
much. His work is near one of the
several prime targets of any enemy
bombs that would be dropped.

HCOLD!" The magic word was
~ spoken. It was heard and re-
peated. Gold in Colorado for the
taking. Nuggets as big as turkey
eggs all over the mountains. AS the
story Travelled, it was embellished
in retelling. Overnight in 1858,
pixies Peak or Bust" became the
nations slogan.
Men of every nationality, occu-
patton and station in life joined the
Pixies Peak gold rush, one of the
great mass migrations in Ameri-
cas- history. They swarmed into the
Colorado mountains, whooping it
up as they went. In their wake fol-
lowed farmers to settle in the fer
tile valleys. From Texas, across
the open grasslands, were driven
herds of longhorn cattle.
Down south in Georgia, W. Green
Russell heard about it. He organ
lied a party of 30 or 40 miners and
set out for the Pixies Peak region,
hardly sleeping until he reached
the banks of the South Platte and
made camp. Within month he had
been joined by 400 others and the
settlement was dignified by the
name Auraria, in honor of Russell's
town back in Georgia.
Thousands of others we're on
their way. A year later General
Larimer crossed Cherry creek,
took possession of some cabins and
named the settlement Denver City,
in honor of Gen. James w. Denver,
governor of Kansas. (At that time,
Colorado-as yet unnamed-was
part of Kansas territory. Wild
days followed on that 96O-acre
townsite. Thousands of excited peo-
pie thronged the dusty streets.
Soon Denver was the Mecca of
the Mountains. A printing plant was
brought from Omaha, and the
Rocky Mountain News made its
debut 1850. Soon thereafter the
Herald was founded. The files of
those early-day newspapers tell
story of lusty life in Denver, Of
gambling, Indian scares and prom
ised riches for all men.
The Denver scene was re-enact-

oradoan knows that. Cowmen,
sheepmen, beet growers, truck gar
deners, fruit growers, hay ranch
ers and general farmers must have
water. They got it. They dug wells
deep in the ground. They con-
structed dams in the canyons to
store the melted snow; they dug
canals and bitches; they irrigated
the rich, thirsty soil.
They homesteaded in the Great
American desert and they made
it bloom. The beet and potato in
dustry around Greeley, founded
by the old Union colony, is a
monument to pioneers in irrigation.
All along the South Platte basin,
from Denver and Fort Collins to
Sterling and Julesburg, is a mighty
agricultural empire. The Arkansas
river waters developed a famed val
ley that produces beets, melons,
fruit and garden truck for the ma
ton. From Canon City through
Rocky Ford to Lamar and the Kan
sas line is another agricultural
wonder brought about by irriga-
ton.
In between the rivers, the nom
irrigated farms and ranches now
produce wheat, corn, hay, beans,
potatoes and other crops. Thou
sands of head of sheep and cat
tie are grown and dairying is
statewide. The Western Slope, the
San Luis valley, and all mountain
Gus areas below timberline are
Ravens for farms, ranches and or
chards. Snow-capped peaks often
look down on blossoms in the val
ley below.
With raw materials near at
hand, Colorado progressed indus
trially too. Mills were built to proc

Questions Popularity
OF Rail Naturalization

Just after the bulletin came in
over the news ticker in my office
announcing that the government in
tended to take over the railroads,
a railroad man happened to call
me up about another matter.
congratulated him on his new
job with Uncle Sam. He wasn't
very enthusiastic. He specialized
on whether or not the men would
60 back to work if the government
ordered them to do so. The miners,
you recall, refused to obey govern
ment orders when the government
took over the soft coal mines dur
ing the war.
Everybody ought to go on strike
in the country" he said. "If it gets
bad enough, it may get better"
We mentioned the possibility
of permanent government own
ership of the railroads. My
friend reminisced little on the
days when he was an employee
of Uncle Sam once before, in
World War I, when the govern
ment did Ito its sorrow take
over the railways.
He said what happened then was
that a man would come up to the
ticket window and demand a draw
ing room. Sorry, there were no
more drawing rooms. Well, do you
know who you're working for, and
who l am? I'm Senator Claghorn,
and you'll neutrality-suspicious.
well, get the passenger out of that
drawing room, and put me in it!
My friend said he didn't think the
people would like it if the govern
ment took over. Of course. we don't

This pamphlet caught my eye
and held it. 1t was a reprint
from Look magazine entitled
"Your Last Chance" You may
have seen it. 1t moved me
SO much that just couldn't help
talking about it on the air, and
offering to pay for the first 500
pamphlets requested, providing
stamp was enclosed.
I limited the requests to people
in the following categories: insur-
ance men, statesmen, real estate
men, teachers, clergymen, mechan-
les, utilities workers, scientists and
I did this, first, because I wanted
to limit the number of applicants,
and second, because the article con-
tanned specific instructions as to
what the people in the groups named
could do to help prevent a cataclys-
mic war. I blandly overlooked the
fact that somebody had to address
envelopes, insert the pamphlets,
mail them out.

No Refuge
From A-Bonb

so he began to consider. Should
he try to get transferred to some
smaller institution, located in a lit
tie town? That, he considered,
would not help much. He has a
farm, but he is not farmer. Should
he move onto the farm Immediately,
learn as much as he could about
farming, and plan to live there
where he would be comparatively
safe? The farm is far from any
large city, tucked in the hills.
Then he started planning. He
would have to learn lot more
than farming. He would have
to learn to card wool, for in
stance; his wife would have to
learn to spin, to weave, to make
soap, to fabricate all the things
you buy in stores.
He would have to lay in tools,
and enough other supplies to last
him the rest of his lifetime.
Well, perhaps all that could be
done. Then he realized that even
at that, he wouldn't be safe. He
would have to build barbed wire en-
tanglements, and obtain machine
guns and other weapons with which
to defend himself for with the
refugees who escaped, starving,
from the cities, the few who had
food would be at the mercy of the
hungry mobs.
If I had heard those statements
from lecture platform, or read
them in a magazine, l might have
passed them by as sensatonalism.
But the statements weren't in
magazine. or spoken from plat
form. They were said over the
luncheon table in the quiet corner
of a club. The speaker wasn't
trying to "sell' his ideas to any,
body. He wasn't trying to persuade
anybody to do anything, or to get
publicity. He was thinking out loud
about what he considered an acute
personal problem.
In the end it left him baff1ed.
There is no defense.
The only hope is to make the
United Nations work.
1 heard this story, and was moved
by it. l was already pretty well
stirred up, because l had just
learned of what deep concern this
question is to more than three thous-
and people who wrote me, asking
for a pamphlet had mentioned in
one of my broadcasts.
That is an interesting story, too,
that l want to pass on.
One day, l received little PAM
phlct among the several bushels OF
handout material which is the grist
of the publicity mills dumped on
press and radio desks all over the
country every day.
