Actiom ON Atonz Control Urged
Before 2Otb Century Club
By Ruth Dean

next atom bomb would unleash a
force 1000 times greater than the
one dropped on Hiroshima. The
speaker also gave another illus
tration of the awful consequences
of an atomic war. According to the
estimate of some military experts,
she said. 25,0O0,000 people could be
lost in one day, in the event of an
atomic war on the United States.
AS a force fer progress, Mrs.
Friedman pointed out how atomic
energy research has already brought
hope to the fields of medicine and
biology as a possible remedy for
hitherto incurable diseases. Private
research has already gone forward,
she announced, with the setting up
of two national Laboratories in the
East and Middle West, with a third
planned for the far West.
Under the sponsorship of uni
versities in these areas, atomic re-
search is now being conducted by
these laboratories in the fields of
medicine, chemistry, metallurgy,
ceramaics and all phases of nuclear
physics, Mrs. Friedman said.
Mrs. Friedman likened the pres
ent lack of agreement in the United
Nations to the first Continental
Congress. Though the colonies
mutually distrusted each other on
many issues. the discussion went on,
because they knew they must find
a way of agreement. The United
Nations is only large Continental
Congress, Mrs. Friedman added:
failure to find an answer will not
bring us a second chance"
Mrs. William Leahy, section
chairman, presided and introduced
the speaker. AS part of the pro-
gram, two films, one on the apple
growing industry, and the other en-
titled America the Beautiful" were

A plea for public pressure on Con-
gress and the United Nations to
affect an agreement toward work.
ing United Nations Atomic Energy
Commission, was made yesterday by
DR.. Elizabeth Smith Friedman.
In an address before a luncheon
meeting of the civics-education sec
tion of the Twentieth Century Club
at the YWCA, DR.. Friedman, re-
search analyst, deplored the current
"wrangling" in Cong1 ess, which she
said was preventing the work of the
Commission. This same lack of
agreement is also present in the
United Nations, DR.. Friedman said,
where We see the entangling argu-
nents for international control of
atomic energy on the one hand, and
for international disarmament on
the other"
I'VE as citizens, such as we are,
can be an influence toward efecting
an agreement" she declared, adding
that a lack of technical knowledge
on the subject is not so important
as knowing what we want"
The speaker urged the group to
work with other clubs, to contact
Senators and Representatives, and
though they haven't the vote, to
write out-of town friends and rela-
tves who do have the vote. BE in
forums and at discussions" Mrs,
Friedman urged, "and let them know
that you demand means Of agree
ment."
We now have choice of making
atomic energy a force for peace or
war, Mrs. Friedman declared, a
choice between progress and de-
struction. Referring to a statement
made recently by John J. McCloy,
former assistant secretary of war,
Mrs. Friedman said the present pos
sibilities show the dropping of the
