The Atomic Energy Commission, in its
semi-annual report to the President and
Congress on Monday, said that decided
strides have ben made in the production
of bombs and their increasing power
President Truman said the nation has
reason for reinsurance and faith" that
the atomic program is being effectively
pressed, both for defense and welfare pur-
poses.
Many residents of Key West, proba-
bly, thousands, will live to see the. day
when atomic energy will be used extern
sively for industrial purposes. Many resi-
dents will ride in automobiles or fly in air
planes propelled by atomic energy.
Later on, in homes many appliances
now operated by electricity, will be power
ed by atomic energy.
Discussion of the splitting of the
atom had been going on for centuries be-
fore United States physicists and other
scientists succeeded in releasing the energy
in atoms. AS far back as 1908. when it
was thought that the secret of the atom had
been solved, scientists said that thimble-
full of atoms would supply sufficient pow
er to propel the Mauretania, then the larg-
est ship afloat, from New York to South
hampton, England, and back.
One needs to look back only 100 years
to determine the great advances that have
been made in the sciences. Many cOnven-
fences in life today would have been
thought impossibilities century ago It
should be borne in mind that inventions or
discoveries are cumulative, as result of
which advances are accelerated year after
year. A century from now the world will
have inventions that, were they described
to us today, we would look upon them as
impossibilities, as the people of century
ago would have considered many things
that are commonplace today
Mental expansion is limitless. The day
may come when mans mind will advance
from the finite to the infinite.

FAR EAST MUST SAVE ITSELF

The armies in China are Vancouver
ing for another decisive battle in the long
struggle between the Communist forces
and those of the Nationalist government
with the probability that victory for the
Communists will all but end organized OPP
position to the Reds on scale permitting
hope of success.
The crisis offers another opportunity
for review of American policy in China
and the Far East, with proponents of as
sistance to the Chinese Nationalist de-
handing that prompt help from the
United States will save the Far East from
the Communists.
It ought to be apparent by this time,
that the answer to all world problems is
not to be found entirely in assistance
from the United States While we have
great faith in the dollar it is not posi-
BILE, through the advance of funds, to
avert the dangers that Turk in the Far
East
1t will take more than money and
arms and the answer is not to be found
in Washington. Somewhere in the teem-
ing millions of Asiatic countries must be
found the moral fibre that alone defends
men and nations from disintegration.

THE STRENGTH IN NoN-vIoLENcE

The theory that non-violence can pre-
serve peace or win justice for nations re-
ceived some impetus from the fact that
leading Indians announced non-yiolence
policy toward Great Britain.
The strength of non-violence policy,
however, depends on the moral develop
ment of the persons or nation against
which it is directed. In the case of India,
for example, the British Government, if
it had not been restrained by moral con-
siderations, could have overthrow the
nOn-violence policy in India.
Much the same thing applies to the
proposal that non-violence be used to set
tie the affairs of the world. Already, in
most Western nations, many of the ques-
tions affecting mankind are settled by
non-violent means. This includes family,
civic and even economic difficulties. The
process has not spread to the information
al scene because of the obvious fact that
the non-violence policy must be accepted
by both sides to dispute.
To be successful in settling any dis
pute, whether between nations or indi-
viduals, non-violence depends on the
readiness of both parties to depend on
moral force rather than to rely on physi-
cal force. In short, it depends on moral
growth and works as an expression of
moral development

her temper. There was no car in

1T SEEMED as if Derria had
1 only just closed her eyes be-
fore the whirring of the alarm
clock awoke her. Startled out of
a sound sleep. with the sun
streaming through her window,
it was hard to realize that the
events of the night before were
more than a nightmare.
n The quiet was very noticeable
now; her own feet made no
sound on the carpeted treads.
She saw the doctor. still asleep
in large armchair.
The door of the sewing room
was slightly ajar. She pushed il
open. With a start. she realized
there was no one therel
The blankets on the couch had
been thrown back with apparent
haste. Quickly going to the front
door and pulling it open. she
looked out. The doctors car was
still where he had left it. Its top
was covered with a heavy white
film of dew, beaded here and
there with larger drops where
already the sun was touching it.
She turned. The doctor was
standing beside her.
II see the same thought struck
you that did me last night,
though / think if he'd driven of
in it. would have heard it.
Last night? You mean to say
you knew he went during the
night?"
We'll. don't take me literally.

you might at least have wax
ened me to tell me when you
found him gone"
The doctor shook his head.
And what useful purpose
would have been served by that?
We wouldn't have known where
to start looking for him, and he
wouldn't be wasting much time
trying to make himself scarce
At least it makes it quite clear
what we have to do now"
Derria arched her brows
1.-THE police?"
Certainly. No reason now fol
holding Off"
Derria grudgingly admitted
that there was not anything else
to be done. It was out of the
question to ask the doctor to keep
quiet about the whole thing.
Blast his sense of duty, any
way, she thought. as she walked
past him into the house.

'Cerdan Will Get Crack
Al La Mofa' Crown
BY the AsseeIofsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Middle-
weight champion Jake La Motta
has given his answer to critics
who said he would never fight
Marcel Cerdan again.
The Bronx Bull agreed late yes
terday to meet the Frenchman in
a 15-round title bout in Madison
square garden December 2.
Iron-chinned Jake, who lifted
Cerdan's crown in Detroit last July
16, had been slated to give Marcel
a return shot in Yankee Stadium
September %. But six days be-
fore the contest. Jake said he had
injured his right shoulder. The
fight was postponed indefinitely.
That gave rise to rumors that
La Motta was backing out and
had no intention of giving the
33-year-old ex-champ his de-
served return crack.
The conversation reached La
Motta's ears and he replied: "I1l
fight Cerdan when my shoulder is
okay. I amt afraid to tight him
or ANYBODY else"
