ATOMIC POWER" E SHORT SUBJECT,
 CAPITOL SUNDAY

Ii the March of Times Atomic Power" at the Capitol Sunday, is not the greatest short subject ever produced from the standpoint of suspense, terror and an awe-inspir- ing climax, it will do for that classification until better one comes along. The editors have craftily contrived a mounting mood of suspense that finally bursts up- on audiences with nearly the impact of the atomic bomb itself. The short traces the development of uranium fission form the time when first information about pro- gress in the field cane out of Germany, then through the war years, explaining that research in America was carried on by several universities simultaneously
 The most significant development came, it is pointed out, with the first atomic chain reaction pile achieved on the squash courts of the University of Chicago by Dr. Enrico Fermi late in l942. It is the test of the first bomb on July 16. 1945. in the deserts of New Mexico that provides the shorts most dramatic moments. This is built up to indicate that the scien- lists and military men present were not even sure that the thing would work. As history now knows, it did But the moments just before the explosion are handled so well in the film that audiences have the feel ing that they are there ano share in the apprehension of ev- eryone present. One more signifi- cant moment in the film comes al the close, with no accompanying commentary that bears on tht scene. A gigantic rocket is showr taking off Gin slow motion) and tho camera follows its flight into tht sky. An overlapping scene witt just a hint that this will be tho method used in the future when ont country attacks another withou
 warning. The short is terrific.

KNOW YOUR
 LEGISLATOR Today: NORMAN RAY WALKER

Known from Ketchikan to Pt. Barrow for his effective oratory, tall, lean Norman Ray Walker is probably the most outstanding and colorful Senator in this Eighteenth Session.
 Born in the little farming com munity of Regina, Canada, on July 28, 1889, Norman spent his first twelve years there, moving to Glas- gow, Montana, and then to Seattle when he was 13. He grew up in this Puget Sound city, attended the Franklin High School, and was graduated from Broadway.
 During his schooldays he was an ardent baseball fan = playing on semi professional teams through out the area. It was in Senator Walkers early teens that he was dubbed with the nickname of Doe by which he is familiarly known today.
 1 As "a youth his spending money was earned as a paper boy. When he grew older, he became interest ed in pharmacy through working in drugstores after hours and on i weskends. He attended the Uni versity of Washington for several years and suddenly decided to take the pharmacy examinations fcf Washington State in 1910. Ac- cepted, he did not return to the University, but forthwith started working in his chosen profession With his sharp, legal mind, one is curious if Doc" had studied law but he says that with his de- cision to become pharmacist ht forsook the pportunity that he has always regretted
 He worked in Seattle until 19l; whsn he was offered pharmacls' job in Ketchikan, which he prompt ly accepted. After three years Il ! this Southeast Alaska metropolis he started the Walker Drug Store which he has since owned and op. erated.
