Atom Study Figures
In Red 5-Year PIaI.
BY The Associated Press

MOSCOW, Mar. 14.-Pravda said
today that atomic energy research
would play . huge role In Russia
new five-year plan.
A full-page article on the scien-
tific part OF the five-year plan said
Soviet physicists. chemists and
engineers Of various professions are
going to be extremely busy with
the problems of the physics of
atomic action, the methods of liber-
ating inner atomic energy and other
problems.
Inner atomic energy is opening
new horizons for science In the most
varied fields because OF its prac-
tically inexhaustible reserve and
tremendous intensity"
Timer atomic energy will require
new electro techniques," the paper
continued in discussing the transfer
of power over long distances. I'VE
will have to change the aspects of
many contemporary mediums Of
optics, and design new instruments. /"
Atomic energy will greatly reor-
ganize chemistry. The chemical
action Of light, which up to now we
studied only incidentally and only
by a few persons, win become highly
important.
Atomic energy also will afford
new problems for biologists. Com
pletely unexpected tasks arise. We
will have to study the action of
powerful light radiation.

ID. {. Division Heads
Are Given Authority
Ito Hire New Workers

A guide to District department
heads In the hiring Of employees
during the interim postwar period
when Civil Service Is being recon-
verified to . peacetime basis, was APP
proved today by the Commissioners.
Under the plan, department heads
will do their own hiring until the
Civil Service Commission is once
more ready to certify employees to
jobs on permanent basis.
Employees taken on, however, will
be carried on indefinite" status
which, the Commissioners said, will
make them ultimately eligible for
promotions and within-grade pay in
creases. Retirement deduction win
be made from their pay, it was said,
and they will enjoy the same leave
status as permanent employees, ex-
cept where the appointment was for
a period of less than six months.
The city heads placed full respon-
sibility with the department heads
that personnel hired meet the gem
eral civil service qualifications for
the job to which they are appointed.
The plan was drafted by three
man subcommittee of District Of
ficials sitting on the District Per-
sonnet Board. They. were Auditor
A. r. Pilkerton, Tax Collector Guy
Pearson and A. w. Heinmiller, pub
lie schools budget officer. The group
was designated by Walter L. Fowler,
chairman of the District Personnel
Board, to confer with the Civil Serv-
ice Commission on the matter.
Reconversion of Federal employ
ment to q peacetime basis was or
dered by President Truman about
two months ago in a special execu-
tive order. Only the Board of Pub
lie Welfare and Juvenile Court Of
the various District departments
are under full civil service and
come within the immediate applica-
ton Of the executive order, it was
said. The remaining departments
operate on q general civil service
basis by agreement with the COM
mission, and today's program is de-
signed to bring these remaining de-
partments In general line with the
provisions Of the executive order.
