In an interview that Russia had de.

He asserted that the purportec
Russian bomb could be manufacture

Armattoe declined to disclose the
source of his information but, press

some members of Lomeshire CENTER
staff were affiliated with Russian
scientific societies.
Armattoe said Russian scientists
already had tested what he termed
'the Russian atom bomb" which he
said was about as large as tennis
ball and had a horizontal pulveriza
ton range of SO miles and a verti-
cal lift of more than six and two
tenths miles.
"The temperature generated" he
said, "was in the neighborhood OF
several million degrees Centigrade. y
Armattoe said the Soviet Council
of Defense had ordered group of
Russian scientists to concentrate on
atomic research Immediately after
the Anglo American atom bomb was
first disclosed to the world.
The scientist said the bomb was
developed with the help of two Ger
man physicists, whom the Russians
had captured.
Russian scientists who directed the
research, he said, were named "Joffe''
Semyonov, Kapitza, Zeldovitch and
Vilalov."
He said he did not know their first
names.
Kapitza, he said, formerly was af-
filiated with Cambridge University.
Armattoe did not say where the
Russian bomb had been tested, but
he added second test will be made

"The destructive character of the
Anglo American bomb depends upon
a determined size of uranium" Ar
mattoe explained adding:
"The Russian bomb, however, de-
velops its force by spin or angular
motion, making it more applicable
for engineering work"
Russian scientists reported success
in their research on December IS,
Armattoe added.

State College Hints
ToFarm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
North Carolina State College

When thawed before cooking, poul-
try cooks more evenly and with
greater economy Of fuel.
1t may be thawed slowly in re-
frigerator. A three or four pound
bird will take overnight or longer
to thaw completely, Or it may be
thawed at room temperature, in
which case it should be watched
closely. Once thawed, cook poultry
without delay because thawed meat
is more perishable than meat freshly
killed.
Don't try to hurry thawing by
soaking the frozen meat in water,
hot or cold. Soaking causes loss Of
good juices.
Sometimes a room hides its light
not under bushel but under layers
of dust. Even very thin film Of
dust can obscure considerable light,
household management specialists
say.
If your home suddenly looks dim
and gloomy, it may need little ex-
ira busting and polishing of all light
centers, lamp bulbs and shades, mir
rors and windows as well as all dec
orative objects.
Dust often clings to volatile oil
from cooking or smoke which has
settled on light bulbs, windows and
mirrows. Washing is usually bet
ter way to remove greasy dust than
dusting.

'Flappers' Pay Off
Best, Ayers Maupin

Raleigh, Jan. 10 - "1t's the flap
pers, not the middle-aged gals who
are the best money-makers,' c. j.
Maupin, N. C. Extension Service
Poultry specialist, said Monday.
Specialist Maupin had specific ref
erence to chickens - the egg-laying
kind.
Because pullets consistently lay
more eggs than older hens and are
especially more productive during
the fall of the year when egg prices
are normally at a peak, the first
year layers are always found in the
higher income brackets. For this

wear. Rubbing during laundering
adds to that wear, especially if the
fabric is rayon. Brushing with a
medium-stiff brush is easier on fab
ric-and on hands and often removes
soil more quickly and effectively.
