Atomic Power May
Be Our Fuel by SIS
Compton Upholds Use Of A-Bomb
Against Japan.

PARIS.-Atomic power may be-
come a serious competitor to coal in
the United States by about 1855
eff political difficulties do not seri-
ously intervene" DR.. Arthur H.
Compton said.
The atomic scientists, chancellor OF
Washington university at st. Louis,
Mo-, spoke to a gathering of savants
at Sorbonne university on the fourth
anniversary of the loosing of nuclear
ission in Chicago.
He said that heat byproducts of
atomic energy we're being used now
in experiments heating water pour
ing into the Columbia river. He
painted a picture of modern cities
using heat from central stations
without smoke covering the area,
and of atomic power as a source of
electricity in areas where coal and
water power were carce or costly.
The Nobel prize winning physicist
asserted that the alternative to an
agreement that no atom bombs will
be made in the future was a com
petitive ornaments race, but added:
81 believe that the odds favor 20
siderably the view that major wars
between the great powers are al
ready a thing of the past. 1 am con-
fident that we have a good fighting
chance of establishing a permanent
peace"
UNFOLDING the use of the bomb
against Japan, Compton said:
"Not to have used this new-found
power to stop short the most disas-
trous war in history would have been
objectionable. Humanity's greatest
need was a decisive weapon."

PROCLAMATION

Mayor Doris Barnes today is sued the following proclamation in support of a mass X-ray program for the Territory which is being conducted by the Territorial De partment of Health in it's effort to combat tuberculosis.
 Mayor Barnes said:
 One of the functions of your city government is to make Wral- sell as attractive as possible with a view to encouraging new busi- enss concerns to establish them selves here and to keep our pres Ut enterprises satisfied.
 A healfhy community is our major objective if We are to be successful in our efforts and we must take steps to prevent a dts ease such as tuberculosis from en- ldangering the health of our pOpu- lation. This is a liability which Wrangel seriously intends to put out of business.
 'TubesculOsis is no respector of race, creed, color or financial or 2OtAdi oLdluS. l uElb IS very uHl- mite danger of infection to our l1esidents if active cases are allow led to go undetected Eighty per cent of those having tuberculosis in the early stages are not col. ecious of being i'll and consequent ly see no reason to consult a phy. sician until the disease has consid- erably advanced. The only certa n wav such cases can be discovered is by means of an X-ray of the lungs Facilities are now available whereby all residents of a commun- lity may be X-rayed rapidly ana Imith minimum of effort. Such a program will soon be offered o Wrangell by the Territorial De- partment of Health in coopera ton with the local doctor. Everyone is eligible to receive a free chest K ray.
 T earnetlsy request that every citizen respond most whole-hearted- ly to this program, first by having an X-ray and then by supporting the program among your friends and aequaintances by word of mouth. By so doing, you will not only protect yourself and yop" family, but make Wrangell a healthier place in which to live.
