Lise Neither. a small woman in a
small back hat, laughed a small
!. laugh.
Someone had asked, Did the
Nazis try to make you work On
atomic energy2O
The question struck the 5-year-
old, world-renowned authority on
nuclear physics as being in a small
way amusing.
So she laughed. almost inaudibly,
and smiled q gnomish little smile
that made her liquid brown eyes
sparkle.
NO" she said. Then, after a
reflective moment. she added:
The NaziS didn't take any notice
Of me at all.
Should Appreciate Irony
The NaZis that are left should
appreciate the irony Of her remark.
For it was Dr.. Lise Neither who
supplied the scientific Interpretation
OF experiments conducted in Ber-
line which established that an
atomic bonn bwas possible.
But in 1898. having learned that
the Nazis were preparing a de-
cree to keep German scientists from
leaving the Reich, DR.. sEeitner hur-
riedly fed.
A JeweSs. the frail and graying
little scientist knew that she had
better leave while she could. Dur
ing her journey she reflected on the
results Of an atomic experiment

associate, DR. Otto Hahn.

Holm had been mystiiied by his
data. But DR.. Neither found the
answer. She named what he had
done atomic fiSsion." Years later,

wrecked Hiroshima and NagaSaki.
DR.. Neither, on leave from the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
in Stockholm. is now visiting pro-
fessor Of physics at Catholic Uni
versity here.
With some trepidation and much
charm. she held a press confer
ence before embarking upon this
newest phase OF her career. To hear
DR.. Neither. you would think she
was a beginning student herself.

1erps Lose 10 Duke,
Take on W. and |.

Maryland needed a win over
washington and Lee today at Col
lege Park to regain fifth place in the
Southern Conference standing after
yesterdays AZ setback in an IL
inning struggle with Duke. In blow
ing their third league game in six
starts the Terps dropped a half
game below the Generals.
Duke, notching its 18th conference
win in Is games, failed to gain on
the leading North Carolina State
nine, which BANKED Richmond, 60,
for its 10th victory in IL games.
Bob Houghton, who exchanged his
Marine ieutenant'S Uniform for a
baseball suit just two weeks ago, not
only held Maryland to four hits, but
snapped Bill Plates i3-game hitting
streak. Harry Crouthamel went the
distance for Maryland, giving up Is
hits, but his ability to bear down in
the pinches, plus good support, saved
MIN until the final frame. Then
singles by Grady Stott, Ed Nc
Carthy, Houghton and a pass to
Winston Palmer upset the apple
cart. McCarthy's three singles and
Palmer's brace of doubles paced
Dukes attack.
Don Gleasner's single, followed ivy
Sailors error on Danny. Boothes

NEW YORK, May 18.-The latest
invading British heavyweight cham
pion, willing Bruce Woodcock,
wound up his debut in the accepted
fashion here-which is somewhat
horizontal-but for the first time
the bash boulevardiers in these parts
wanted one of the invaders to come
back and try again.
Bruce headed back home today
after his fifth-round knockout at
the hands of Tami Mauriello, the
Bronx fat boy, in Madison Square
Garden last night before l3,479
customers VINO contributed to $685.
$50 gate.
A fast, sudden right cross late in
the fifth heat did the trick for the
only knockdown of the fight, all the
more surprising since up to that
point the Doncaster dynamiter had
been touching up Tami quite liber-
ally, to the apparent displeasure of
the meaty Mauriello and the con-
sternation Of the charitable betting
gentlemen who had installed the
tubby uptown thumper as a 1-to-6
favorite.
He's Tops in Popularity.
And despite the finish at 2:16 of
the fifth. with Bruce trying to brace
his wobbly legs after coming off the
floor moment too late, there is no
