Cobalt More Radioactive
Than Rudium Produced
New Exploding Form Developed
At Acc Uranium Piles
Bv Thomas r. Henry

Radioactive cobalt 100 times more potent
per gram than it was possible to produce In
the past is being prepared by the Atomic
Energy Commission.
gram of the material now being sup
piled is three times as powerful as gram
of radium, for which it is proposed as q
substitute.
This greatly increased activity is due to
new methods of preparation adopted in the
commissions uranium piles at Oak Ridge
and Chicago.
The exploding form of cobalt is one of the
important new isotopes in the field Of medi-
cine. It behaves much like radium, is less
poisonous and is vastly cheaper. Promising
results in treatment of cancers have been
reported but more investigation is consid-
cred necessary. The material can be pro-
duced in almost linitless quantities by tho
new method.
The old form, according to commission
report, had an activity of 80 millicuries-a
millicurie is the amount which will have
10000 atomic explosions a second-to as
much as 5000 millicuries.
The potency per gram Of some other iso.
tope preparations which have no immediate
medical application has been increased in
the same ratio
At the same time there has been an enor-
not in the potency of radioactive iodine,
which has much promise in the treatment Of
various thyroid disorders. Prepared by q
different method which involves transmuta-
ton of the element tellurium, the new iodine
samples are much purer than the old.
Producing fully matured tomatoes in test
tubes from blossoms plucked from vines has
just been reported to the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science.
This was accomplished in a nutrient solu-
ton containing various mineral salts, sugar,
the vitamin thiamine, and one Of the amino
acids, together with juice from either green
or ripe tomatoes, according to report Of
DR.. ]. P. Nitsch of the California Institute
OF Technology.
Growing of other plant tissues, such as
roots, leaves and stems, in nutrient solutions
has been common practice in biological
laboratories for some years but it hitherto
has been impossible to grow fruits. DR..
Nitsch's efforts failed until the tomato juice
was added.
The test-tube tomatoes tasted like ordi-
nary tomatoes, DR.. Nitsch reports, but they
were seedless. They were small, but he be-
lieves this was due to the limited quantity Of
nutrients used. Experiments now are in pro-
gress to obtain full-sized fruits and to cul-
tivate other species by the same technique.

Calls For Unity
OF Forces Working for Peace

Calls For Unity
OF Forces Working for Peace
To the Editor of The Star:
3 Since we are so determined to have q
merger Of the armed forces in this country.
how about q merger of the peace forces?
Is not our difficulty that we have too many
prina donnas Of peace?' And too few leaders
and organizations with passion for anony-
mity?" So many individuals and groups
are working for the same goal, but often at
cross purposes, that they tend to d1Ssipate
their strength.
We do not lack brilliant minds. Think OF
the statesmen, educators, religious leaders,
philosophers, economists. column1sts, COM
mentators, and especially-since the atomic
bomb-scientists, who are devoting hours OF
study to the problems Of peace. With re-
spect to the United Nations, world govern
ment, control Of atomic energy, disarmament,
and our Russian relations. ideas are popping
like corn in q pepper. That's one OF the
difficulties these ideas and minds are not
being brought together into q co-ordlnated,
purposeful plan.
We do not lack peace organizations. There
are at least 100 postwar peace societies.
according to John Thacher in 1.-The Readers
Digest" all "brandishing fists over the choice
OF roads to perpetual enmlty ana pfotneIly
love-"
Could we form clearing house for peace
plans and efforts? Could non-partisan,
non-sectarian. non-self- glorifying group be
set up by the President, to develop positive.
dynamic plan to promote total peace?
The atomic bomb has put an exclamation
point after the phrase. Outlaw all war;"
We all say, "It is peace or suicide this
time" We all say. Something must be
done-and done now" Yet we add. in the
next breath, 1T seems as If we are drifting
toward another war"
Several leaders of the armed forces, in
recent testimony before the House Armed
Services Committee, stressed their determin-
alton to prevent another war, If possible.
There is no doubt about their sincerity. II
they, and the non-military leaders, could
join their efforts In gigantic merger OF
forces, the chances Of a third World War
would be lessened.

deliberately working to the disadvantage Of
the railroads. If anyone doubts this let him
be advised that the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration in October announced an ap-
pointment to head new Aviation Extension
Division Of the Office Of Aviation Develop
ment. Among the duties of the new d.
vision is that of encouraging personal and
industrial flying!
It is time the Government got out Of the
transportation business, except to make and
enforce safety rules and regulations which
would protect the health and safety of the
public. Our lack of fair national trans
portation policy rapidly is bringing us to
the point where Government operation of
our railroads shortly will become tragic
reality. When this happens complete
Socialistic form of Government will not be
far behind. The American people now are
face to face with the issue, and the answer
cannot be long delayed

Believes Scouts and Like Organizations
Should be Self-Su2porting
To the Editor of The Star:
May I join the controversy regarding
membership of the Boy Scouts in the Com
munity Chest? AS Scout when boy,
an interested bystander for considerable
years afterward, and for the past six or
seven years most active in Scout work, 1t
has been my observation that Boy Scout
never has to rely on either the Local Council
or Community Chest for the expense of his
participation in scouting, nor are the train
ing OF leaders and the cost of establishing
new Cub Packs and Scout Units of consid-
cradle expense to the Local Council.
Generally. when a boy who wants to
become a Scout can't afford the nominal
membership fee and dues or the cost of his
outfit and handbook word gets to the fright
person"-often one Of the volunteer leaders
and someone digs" without thought Of
red feather'') or makes other arrangements
and the matter is taken care of without
publicity. I have yet to know Of AN instance
where either the Local Council or Community
Chest has furnished membership or es-
Sential supplies free Of charge
In this Council the training of volunteer
leaders is done by other volunteer workers
and the cost is borne by the trainee-books,
pamphlets and such at catalogue prices
plus dollar for ones own membership.
Organization of Cub Packs and Scout Units
also is done by committee composed Of
volunteer leaders. Often a paid representa-
tive from the Council office viii make a
visit after the committee of volunteer
workers have the project well under way.
For the past two or three years the
amount furnished by the Chest has ap-
parently been insufficient for the Council
since the Scouts have conducted their own
campaign among friends of scouting" for
funds to supplement that amount With the
1000 volunteer leaders and 10 paid repre-
sentatives mentioned by Council President
Stands in his letter, the scouting organiza-
ton seemingly should be f-supporting to
the extent that it would not have to become
a charity organization and these thoughts
could well apply to the Girl Scouts the
Camp Fire Girls. the YMCA and other like
organizations. A CUB SCOUT LEADER.

Agrees With Letter
On Need for About Employment

To the Editor of The Star
I want to commend Earl R. Jones on his
letter. Program of About Employment
Urged to Reduce Debt and Taxes" which
appeared in The Star of November 9.
If the leaders of the administration would
only allow themselves to be aware of the
vast number of unemployed in this city
alone, due to conditions described in this
communication and take some constructive
action for the common good. much hardship
could be prevented.

Letters to The Star

Says UnconStftutionality of ODER Law
Shows Need Of Substantial Enactment
To the Editor Of The Star:
The Star of November quoted the rather
ironical statement Of Frank B. Ober on tho
fortnight ruling by Judge Sherbow OF Balti-
more, decreeing the so-called "Ober Law"
unconstitutional Mr.. Ober is quoted as say
ing that the decision is $50 sweeping that it
would invalidate substantially ALL sedltion
and loyalty legislation of the States and the
Federal Government. Thus, we now nnd
that there is at last something considered to
be substantial about the "Ober Law"-the
judicial decision declaring it to be unconstl-
tutional Otherwise, in my opinion, there Is
nothing to be found in the entire law ap-
proved by Governor Lane in any way sub
stantial.
To those who may not have had an oppor-
tunity to look over the Governor Lane
approved feature Of anti-subversive legisla-
ton it may be interesting to note that
nowhere in the entire act is there provided
any way to determine if any of the numerous
Congressionally cited subversive organiza-
lions would be so considered in Maryland.
Such decision and determination is placed
at the mercy of the political integrity OF the
Attorney General of Maryland, and Is subject
to his mood of the moment. Therefore,
when Judge Sherbow decided that the "Ober
Law is too vague for workable criminal
statute, it would certainly appear that he
was on solid ground
Since the pending determination on this
"Ober Law" will soon be decided by the
Maryland Court of Appeals. it is hoped that
it also will deem such a farce of legislation
to be unconstitutional-andt thus, in effect,
put Maryland lawmakers on notice that
proper and substantial laws should be
promptly enacted to effectively preserve and
protect American principles in the State of
Maryland FRANKLIN T. MILES.

Anglo American Debating Society
Proposed As Aid to Friendship

To the Editor Of The STAR
I recently attended debate between the
oxford University team and similar team
from George Washington University The
motion before the house was: THAT Public
Ownership of Basic Industries Is in the Best
Interests Of Democracy"
AS an Engishman I was extremely inter-
ested in the proceedings and noted with
much pleasure the impartial attitude of the
audience. I also was convinced that such
method Of discussing subjects of common
and vital interest to British and American
people should be put on permanent footing.
There are many English people in WASH
ington and many more Americans who are
interested in current world affairs and
propose, Mr.. Editor, that there should be
established, as soon as possible, an Anglo
American Debating Society. ! am sure that
there would be no difficulty in obtaining
enough members and that such a society
would not only be "in the best interests of
democracy" but would do great service
to the cause OF Anglo-American friendship
and understanding. R, G. K. ANsoN.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

veterans or World War III were
reminded today that several i'm
portant CT Bill education and
training procedures go into eff
feet Nov. |
The new procedures, made
necessary by passage of Public
Law 266 which bans avocational
and recreational courses and pro-
hibits CT training in schools
which have not been in existence
for at least 'one year, will affect
veterans who have had CT Bill
training and who want additional
training as we'll as veterans who
plan to apply for original of sup
Elemental fcertifications of eligi-
biiity.
Beginning Nov. l, a veteran
who has completed or discontin-
ued a CT Bill course, and who
wishes to take another course in
a different general field, will
be required to undergo advise
ment and guidance to determine
his aptitudes and needs for the
new course. After advisement,
VA approval will be needed be-
fore enrolment in his new field
of training.
A veteran who wants to take
an additional course of training
without leaving his original gen.
eral field will be permitted to
enroll without taking advisement
and guidance.
Another change effective Nov.
l is that veteran applying for
an original or supplemental GER
tificate of eligibility for CT Bill
training will be required to list
on his application the name of
the course and school. The certi-
ficate then issued to him will be
good only for the course and
school specified.
Certificates issued before Nov,
