The Atomic Energy Commission is
taking the A-bomb out of the lab
oratory and putting it on the as
sembly line.
The days when the weapons were
experimental devices designed,
made and put together by big-name
scientists are over.
| The commission said in its semi
annual report to Congress yeSter-
day that it has been working for
the past year toward a different
scale of weapon production
The idea is to establish much
broader base for production opera
tions and take steps to insure
against 'bottlenecking' at any stage"
Digging deeper into this cautious
Language, it develops that the COM
mission is making progress" on:
/. Stepping up production to pro-
vide a continuous flow of parts.
2. Standardizing the design OF
the parts.
3. Standardizing the way they are
handled and stored.
Meanwhile, the commission is
working on new designs in the
Mesatop Laboratory at Los Alamos,
N. Mex. :
One strange-sounding project Is
to make device which will give
back more fashionable material than
it uses as fuel.
Fashionable material is an element
such as plutonium whose atoms will

Slump in Meot OUTPUT

CLEVELAND. Feb. 3 tR.-The sec
ond largest slump in meat produc-
ton history is in prospect for 1948
A. z, Baker, board chairman of the
Cleveland Union Stockyards and
president Of the American Stock
yards Association. declared today.
"A total weight of 2,0OO, 600 900
to 5000, ,000, 900 pounds below the
l947 volume is in prospect" Mr..
Baker asserted. "Only 1885, as a
result of the corn crop failure in the
1884 drought year, had a bigger
decline in meat output"
Mr.. Baker said sharing of grain
supplies with Europe has squeezed
domestic livestock production while
numbers have declined more than
10 per cent since the January |,
1945 peak. He thinks it will take
10 years to restore livestock num-
bers to that level. .
Prices of all meats and livestock
will be as high or higher in 1948
than the all-time records eStab-
lished in 1947, unless there is wide-
spread business recession" he pre-
dicted. Meat supplies per capita
in l948 will average 146 pounds, 10
pounds less than in 1947, but 20
pounds more than the 1885 SO aver
age"
R. j. Eggert of the American Meat
Institute testified here Saturday
that fears of meat shortage this
year are unfounded. He told Sen
ate Banking subcommittee that the
supply of meat per person next
spring and summer will be only
about one-half ounce. q day less
than last year.

THE strategy behind the Wallace

ent. The Communists, of course,

purpose is to confuse the workers

The object of this strategy is to

keep peace in the COP family by
working out compromise cut.
But he was said to be insisting
that he cannot toss out the esti-

has assurance that the majority
will not demand a further reduction
in the cost for the first Is months.
There is some doubt whether the
Republicans can agree unofficially
on any figure.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of
