Uranium Hunt

Although minute quantities OF 1t may be
located in his own backyard, the average
citizen is not likely to have much luck in
finding enough uranium to win the $4,000
prize Just offered by the United States
Atomic Energy Commission.
The prize -ofncially called q bonus
is designed to stimulate interest In q
country wide hunt for domestic sources OF
the key raw material in the nuclear- -fission
process. The winner will have to have
more than pick and shovel First OF all,
he will have to discover a new deposit
Then, getting down to the real business,
he will have to produce and deliver from
the deposit twenty short tons Of uranium
ore or mechanically produced concentrates
assaying at least 20 per cent uranium
oxide. When he does that, he will have
proved the value of his finding, and the
Acc will pay him the $4,000.
Most of us, Of course, are in no position
to try for the prize, but the hunt will
appeal to more than few individuals and
companies equipped for it. Further, in
addition to the bonus" the Acc is Offer
ing attractive minimum prices for steady
output from any new deposit. The idea is a
good one for increasing our uranium hold
ings. The world being what 1t Is, we
cannot have too much of the material.

deadlock. Warren Austin, our chief
delegate to the United Nations, has
suggested that the General Assembly can
act to give non-voting voice, in matters
that concern them directly, to applicants
approved by the majority but blackballed
by Russia. This would be better than
nothing, but 1t would still be q far cry
from membership
Relatively speaking, Of course. the dead
lock over admitting members is one of
the lesser problems of the United Nations
But 1t effectively illustrates the nature of
the much more important overall dead
lock that has filled the organization with
a sense of futility and Illustration as
regards a long series Of great and terrible
issues, such as the control Of atomic
energy. The central question OF our time
is how this paralysis can be brought to an
end without wrecking the u. N. and
precipitating war. The answer depends
primarily on Russia Unfortunately for
the peace and happiness Of the world
there seems little reason at this time to
expect good answer.

Independent Voters

To the Editor OF The eter:
The result Of the Republican presidential
primary in wisconsin reminds me Of 4 story
Of Uncle Cy Leland, Republican leader OF
Kansas many years ago, one Of the most
astute party bosses in the United States.
Leland had built up an organization which
functioned 50 efficiently that at O'Clock
on each election day he was able to issue .
forecast which was IS accurate rs II he had
had preview Of the complete and tabulated
vote In his State. He was able to do this by
Q quick calculation based on reports on the
early voting telephoned him at noon by trusted
lieutenants in eight or ten key precincts and
counties In various sectors Of the State.
One election day, however, the usual forecast
was not forthcoming, nor was Leland available
to persistent callers at his Topeka headquarters
until late that night, when everybody had ths
news, which was definitely bad from Republi-
can standpoint.
THE first report had at noon was from
one Of the smartest boys we've got upstate.
and 1t was enough for me" Leland explained
to Newspaper men. Il ducked out right away
to md cyclone cellar"
"But who was this smart guy and what did
he repoFtf" asked one Of the reporters.
Never mind his name" replied Leland. "but
m tell you the nrst two sentences heard
before I hung up on him. He said: Uncle Cy.
eyerything,s gone to hell. The people are
voting just Is they please'!"

ItoIy, Russiu and the U. N.

Russia's third veto of Italy's application
for membership in the United Nations has
been motivated solely and simply by
determination to make the U. N. engage
in the crudest kind Of horse trading.
Through Mr.. Gromyko, the Soviet Union
has acknowledged that the Italians are
entirely eligible and ought to be let in, but
1t has made clear at the same time that
It will continue to turn. thumbs down on
them until the Security Council agrees to
admit such Red satellites as Albania,
Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania.
In other words, although favored by the
overwhelming majority and although the
Russians themselves concede its eligibility,
Italy must remain outside for just as long
as Mr.. Gromyko may want to use 1t as
bargaining blackjack to force the admis-
sion of the satellites. BY their own
actions, of course, by their political ter
rorism, their destruction of the democratic
process, and their general violation of the
basic tenets of the U. N. Charter, the
satellites have disqualified themselves, and
nine of the Security Councils eleven men,
bers have opposed their applications for
that reason. Quite obviously, however, the
Kremlin does not intend to be deferred by
this. Armed with the veto, it is deter
mined to keep on penalizing the Italians
until it can have its own way, irrespective
of any principle or the will of the majority.
In an immediate sense. this latest
Russian blow against italy is likely to
react against the Kremlin by increasing
the anti-C Communist vote in the forth
coming Italian elections. AS for the
longer future. it raises the question OF
just what the majority can do about the
situation. Italy is not the only country
involved. Although most of the Security
Council has supported their applications,
Ireland, Portugal. Trans-Jordan and
Austria have had the U. N. doors slammed
on them by the Soviet veto Nor does the
Charter offer any easy way out Of the

Awesome Submarine Progress

It was just forty-eight years ago this
month that our Navy acquired its first
submarine, the Holland. That fifty-four-
foot craft, powered by gasoline motor on
the surface and by electric motor when
submerged, was the prototype of the
modern combat submarine in use by all
navies. 1t is far cry from that first
United States Navy submersible to our
latest streamlined craft, capable of cruis-
ing for weeks at time beneath the
surface of the sea.
AS matter of fact, the submarine Is
undergoing truly revolutionary changes
that promise to transform 1t into q
combat ship drastically different from the
advanced types of today. The revolution,
when completed, is likely to be as startling
as were the crude craft which John p.
Holland, the Irish inventor, launched in
the Passaic River in the late seventies.
Holland was not the first builder of a
submarine, of course. But he. was the
first to combine successfully gasoline and
electric systems of propulsion, so that
long distance cruising beneath the ocean
became practicable. His first experiments
WIFI SUCH pIOPuloioA HC2C disappointing,
but gradually he improved the craft until,
by 1898, he had solved most of the diff
ficulties. He launched that year the
Holland No. 9, which our Navy purchased
and put in commission in 1900. The dual
propulsion type soon became standard
equipment with every navy.
From that early start In submarine
development there were many improve
ments during the ensuing decades, but
few radical changes in design. Diesel
engines replaced the gasoline type, more
powerful batteries for the auxiliary electric
drive were installed. better ventilating
apparatus was devised. more torpedo and
deck-gun fire power added. It WAS not
until World War II. however. that any
really significant advance In submarine
Evening star., 1948-04-12

design was made. The Germans, seeking
to increase cruising range and reduce
chances OF detection, added the schnorkel
This was long breathing tube which
could be raised when the U-boat. WAS
submerged, enabling 1t to operate on
Diesel power. The tube discharged foul
air and took in fresh air.
The war ended before the Germans
could use these long-range, formidable
U-boats against our ships Now we are
equipping our own submarines with
schnorkels, thus greatly increasing their
ranges and their under water speeds.
The new Guppy class is marked by
streamlining that win enhance the speed
characteristics Of our modern subsurface
raiders. But even more radical changes
are in prospect. Atomic propulsion Is
expected eventually to replace Hollands
conventional power systems. And rockets
or special guided missiles in the years to
come will augment or replace the sub
marines conventional weapons of attack.
Another half century, in fact, may see
most nayies driven beneath the sea by the
threat OF atomic warfare, with giant
submarine carriers and submersible
"battleships" (the latter armed with
rockets instead OF guns forming the
nucleus Of naval task forces. The pos
sibilities are grim enough to cause right
minded men and nations to work as
feverishly on ways of ayerting war as they
are on means of making 1t more dreadful.

Stars, Men and Atoms
u. S. Will Study Reaction
Of Atom BIust on Crops
Agriculture Plans to Test Claim
That Bomb Stimulated Soil
By Thomas r. Henry

The Department OF Agriculture in co-
operation with the Atomic Energy Commits.
sion will give thorough going test to the
claim that exploding atoms In the soil stimu.
late the growth Of crops.
Some months ago there were reports that
vegetation around Hiroshima and Nagasad
was sensationally luxuriant. Investigation has
shown that these claims were grossly ex.
trayasant but has left some doubt a. to
whether there may not have been slight
stimulation
The same Is true OF tests started by the
department itself In ls45. These were car.
ried on at the Bureau OF, Soils experiment
station ut Beltsville. Nd. and at various
state experiment stations. There was some
slight stimulation Of some vegetables, but
90 many factors are involved that experts
remained in doubt. There Is no known
theoretical reason why soil radioactivity should
promote vegetation. but the inconclusive out
come Of the tests leaves valid doubts.
Effect Weuld b Lasting.
Even slight crop increase would be worth
while, for one or two applications Of the radio.
active material now being used, at q cost
OF about $40 an acre, would be good for at
least 1000 years. Unlike other fertilizers,
1t would not be renewed. Whatever value
1t has would remain for at least the half
life Of the material--that is, the time re-
quired for half the radioactive atoms present
to explode.
Both pot and field tests were conducted at
Beltsville with lettuce and millet. The pot
tests. at hrst. showed very sensational results
indeed. There was considerable excitement In
the laboratory until 1t was found that the
lettuce in the pots containing radioactive soil
had been planted by an expert gardener while
that In the control pots had been planted by
an amateur. The field tests showed no differ.
ences that could not be accounted for By
statistical procedures.
From various State experiment stations,
notably Kentucky, differences were reported
in the growth Of tomatoes, cucumhers, cauli.
flowers and sweet potatoes which seemed
statistically valid. There were 20 many com.
plicating factors, however. that the reports
could not be accepted on their face value.
Low-Grads Material 10 bs Used.
The material to be used now In 4 long series
Of tests Is . low-grade radioactive material
not uranium-obtained from Canada. 1t would
be yalueless for atomic energy purposes. It
probably represents breakdown of the rare
element actinium. according to the Department
Of Agriculture experts, and is chiefly an emitter
