mo. S OF a Series.J
By Thomas R. Henry
The Stars Science Editor

When an atom of Uranium
235 or of the man-made fission-
able, element. plutonium, splits in
halves with the capture Of a slow
neutron, the two fragments do not
weigh quite as much as the ORR
ginal mass.
The lost mass, something less
than l per cent. has been con-
verted into energy. Small as it is,
this is the most titanic conversion
ever achieved on earth. 1t is the
energy of the atomic bomb. 1t is
a tiny fragment of that energy
which is the cement of all crea-
tion-an attraction something like
a billion, billion, billion times that
of gravity between equivalent
masses.
Fission is, of course, an ex-
tremely inefficient means of tap
ping the great energy reservoir in
the atomic nucleus. Complete con-
version would result in hundred
fold greater explosion, at least.
There undoubtedly has been con-
siderable improvement since the
first bombs were made. Those
being added to the stockpile TODAY
may be two or three times as
potent, owing to better arrange
ment of the material to produce
more f1Ssions.
Limit OH Size.
Off-hand 1t does not seem likely
that anything has been gained,
or could be gained, by making
bigger bombs. Unless there have
been developments of which the
public has no knowledge, such
bombs probably would be buds.
There is a certain critical size
which cannot be expected. This
Is the most zealously guarded of
all secrets because it is the heart
of the whole atomic bomb mech
anism.
Within the bomb itself, how
ever, two other recently discovered
reactions may be possible. One of
these is the so-called nuclear ex-
plosion in which the nucleus is
blown into many small particles.
When the nucleus of a nitrogen
atom, for example. is hit by the
nucleus of an atom of heavy n.y.
drogen; the two are combined for
an instant and then break up into
four nuclei of helium. This par
ticular phenomenon has been pro-
duced in the Laboratory.
Silver Atom Hardest to Smash.
The nucleus of silver atom,
hardest of all to smash, has been
observed to break into Is pieces
when hit presumably by cosmic
ray. Whether this reaction could
be used in an atomic bomb is
anybody's guess. The very high
probability is that it could not.
More spectacular is the recently
discovered "spallation reaction"
It was described in a recent pub
lication as follows:
1.-The target nucleus emits a
number of light particles but
leaves behind a residual nucleus
of considerable mass. Already 200
million-volt deuterons, nuclei of
heavy hydrogen, and 400-million-
volt alpha particles, nuclei Of
helium, have caused spallation re-
actions in variety of heavy
nuclei" The target nucleus pro-
duces a new nucleus, which differs
in mass by as much as 40 mass
units. Just what chain of events
takes place is not known.
However, improbable it is that
either explosion or spallation has
been incorporated in new atomic
bomb designs, there must have
been considerable speculation
about their potentialities.
Still entirely in the field of
speculation are the possibilities of
made mesons. The meson is
the most recently discovered pri-

Mammoth Carcass Found

MOSCOW (P).-Another man.
moth carcass has been discovered
preserved in an excellent state in
perpetual ice. From Yakutsk 1t
is reported that near this city
the body of the ancient elephant
like beast was discovered at q
depth of five meters below the
surface.

Friendship Pact Ends

The pact of friendship, mu-

and it is now at an end.
This action was taken when
the Kremlin charged that
Tito's government had carried

Hungary recently denoun-

Joseph Alexander, who went
to the mainland several
months ago, returned on the
afternoon plane yesterday.
During his stay he visited
Washington several times, one
of which was to attend the in
auguration Of j. Howard
McGrath as Attorney-Ge General
of the United States.
Mr.. Alexander predicted that
a number Of persons will visit
the Virgin Islands in the latter
part of this year, especially in
December. He said that with
the decision to hold the next
session of the Caribbean Com
mission in St. Thomas it is GER
tain that Ward Canaday will
invite them to visit St. Croix.
Among those whom MI
Alexander met and talked
with were Secretary of the IN
terror, Julius Krug, who has
been elected Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Vir-
Islands Corporation; Senator
Hugh Butler, Senator Gordon
and Senator O'Mahoney. All
of whom are expected to visit
the islands before the year
ends.
Stewart French, formerly
Administrative Assistant to
former Governor HARDWOOD,

Committee of the Department
of the Interior, is also expected
to come down.

Variety Show Displays Wide Range Of Talent

{ his stables will take care of your camels") the Arab in the NOE Little Theatre skit told his son how to get along in Kodiak. Ken Kennerson and Bob Diehl starred in it.
 The high school Death House gang, Alfred Anderson Gene Sundberg and Richard Hartman, presented an anus ing number, also. "*
 Several persons in the show displayed unusual talents: Joe Green with his ballads; Sam Layman, skipping rope on his unicycle; Lorraine Magnusen with her piano solos; Wally Grain with his romantic vocal selections; and Professor Reilly, the magician, who pulled white mice from a
Kodiak mirror., 1949-11-26

With a pig Mexican straw hat on his head and a big grin on his face, eight year old Mike Gallinas stole the variety show Tuesday night at the Orpheum when he charmed the capacity audience with his singing ofManyana.
 Mike, a third grader at the Kodiak school, breezed his way through four verses, gaining more confidence with each one, and the crowd cheered him long and loud. His solo came at the end of the Latin dance and song number by the high school girls chorus.
 The variety show which brought together a wide range of talent--musical, comedy, in- strumental and choral from base and town was sponsored by the Kodiak Public Schools and directed by Mrs. Edna Lee Dixon, music teacher. Pro- ceeds will be used to send the basketball team to Anchorage for the Fur Rendezvous.
 Master of ceremonies for the evening was Ken Wade who, between introducing the var ious numbers, carried on some corny chit chat with Arlene Herring, Sandra Perkins and Georgia Sonntag, high school girls.
 Joan Varland of the base, who starred in last years high school show, again showed her professional training, and poise and much talent in her two solos, I'll Be Loving You Al ways, and You're My De- sire. She was accompanied by Richard Aware, WVCQ pianist.
 Comedy sprang from every where. Alma Nelson and Ger maine Madsen did a cheery little number, Cruising Down the Channel, with appropriate references to the B and BI Buns. Mrs. Ivan Blood and Mrs. John Chase had home spun joking in their skit; and Cowboy John Gibbons, Coach Howard Carpenter and Joe Green presented a cowboy act in which Gibbons looked every inch a cowhand and Carpenter every foot (with spurs back wards on both) a dude.
