Short c ut to Better Potato Crops
Souqht Through Atomic Tests

The stronger the rays. the squat.
tier the potato plant. Whether the
squattiest plants will produce po-
tatoes is not known yet. 1t is re-
motely possible that new potato
varieties might spring by accident
from the x-rays.
A search Is made each day for
one or more plants to see If bugs
fail to eat them. This resistance to
bugs and disease is something that
occurs naturally in most crop plants.
due to alterations in heredity.
Natures heredity changes are
very slow. The X-ray changes are
fast.
This Is the first time that atomic
changes have been tried on vege-
tative plsnts-that Is. plants which
do not grow from seed. The ex-
pertinent on Long Island potatoes
is planned to run for 10 years or
more, because the main object Is to
get new, facts about heredity and
about its application not only to
crops but to biology and, perhaps,
medicine.
As the work progresses potato
eyes will be exposed to other forms
of atomic rays, including the neu.
irons that will come from an atomic
pile, or oven, now near completion
here.

Military Threatens
To Seize Gas Unless
Industry Supplies Il
By,ths Asseeiatsd Press

= The oil industry has until next
Thursday to supply the armed serv-
ices with 100000 barrels Of motor
gasoline.
If 1t doesn't, according to Rear
Admiral E. D. Foster, director Of
the Armed Forces Petroleum Pur-
chasing Agency, mandatory action
will be recommended under the new
Draft Act. That act gives the
armed forces authority to seize
needed oil supplies first and talk
about paying for them later.
Admiral Foster told the National
Petroleum Council yesterday that
he was taking that tough stand re-
luctantly, since the military has
been getting excellent cooperation
from the oil industry up to now.
But, he said, the Berlin crisis has
forced the armed services to tighten
their demands In addition to the
! ZOO, 900 barrel motor gasoline or
der, the industry also must AL with
in the allotted week lesser short
ages Of aviation gasoline and oil,
some Of 1t needed for the aerial
supply line to the German capital.
Max w. Ball, director Of the In
terror Departments oil and gas d.
vision, said the chairman Of the
councils committee on military re-
quirements, Col. Frank Drake, bore
down on the oil industry even
ha rider" than Admiral Foster Mr.
Ball said the industry's failure to
meet military requirements was
puzzling because the amount needed
is only a small part Of total produc.

Stock Market Drops
In Heavy Selling;
|0iIs Hit Hardest
BY the A,seeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, July 30.-Stock mar
ket prices dropped sharply today as
activity built up during the second
hour of the session. .
Some issues broke as much as s
and 20 points. The market generally
fell a point or two.
There wasn't a single group able
to make any headway.
The rails fell as much as az
points despite the Interstate Com
merce Commission decision to make
freight rate increases permanent.
The oil group, however, took the
worst sheilacking. Superior Oil Of
California was OH 20 POINTS, Sicily
Oil dropped around 6 and several
others were down more than a point.
Dupont led the slide in the manu-
featuring group with a loss OF
about S.
Traders attributed the accelerated
drop in part to the same uncer-
tainty and nervousness over foreign
developments that has persisted in
the financial district recently.
Some quarters also said Repub-
lican plans to promote some sort OF
modified credit control program had
influenced selling.

BROOKHAVEN, N. Y, July So
A shortcut to better potato crops
is being sought in the first atomic
potato field which now Is growing
here at the Brookhaven National
laboratory Of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
The potatoes were planted this
spring by a group of geneticists
headed by DR.. Arnold H. Sparrow
in the biology department at
Brookhaven, under DR.. L. F. Minis,
and their progress was reported
today.
Before planting, the potatoes
were given varying doses Of X-rays
The rays hit the potato eyes from
which new potato plants sprought.
The x-rays began with dose
about as strong as is given to
human beings, and step by step
