Bill Would End Mail Evasion
OF State Cigarette Taxes
by the Assoeiatsd Press

A bill intended to halt what its
hackers call cigarette bootlegging"
into tobacco-tax States landed in
the Senate today.
The House passed the measure
yesterday after hearing estimates
that mail order shipments Of
cigarettes from tax-free States
cost States with cigarette taxes
some $4o,ooo,ooo a year In lost
revenue.
There was sharp debate before
the bill was approved on a voice

the multi-million dollar mail order
business is perfectly lawful.

avoidance.
The bill would require persons
selling cigarettes In interstate

the tobacco tax administrator Of
the destination States, unless the
sales were to regular licensed
dealers.
Thirty-nine States have tobacco
taxes,

An ounce of Uranium 235, the
amount at first reported missing
from the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion's Argonne Laboratory at the
University of Chicago. would rep
resent loss of considerable mag
nitude.
1t Is the amount extractable
from about 10 pounds Of pure
uranium by an extremely la
borious process. U-235 is an iso-
tope. or slightly lighter form. Of
the heaviest of the elements and
occurs In nature in a ratio Of
about one atom TO 140 atoms Of
the more common form. Uranium
238, which is not capable OF an
explosive reaction.
Thus U-235 Is the necessary
starting point for an atomic bomb.
or for any development Of atomic
energy.
Probably the major difficulty In
the early days of the Manhattan
District was to develop an efficient
means of separating the two
forms, since both have precisely
the same chemical reactions. 1t
seemed at the time that success
full chain reaction could be ac-
complished only with an almost
pure mass of the light iSotope.
This difficulty finally was over
come by creation out of uranium
of the synthetic exploding ele-
ment, plutonium. but U-235 re-
manned the starting point for this
process.
The amounts of 235 available
and the exact amounts used in an
atomic bomb are among the most
closely guarded Of all secrets.
Whether U-235 remains a neces-
sary part of the atomic bomb it
self, considering developments in
the plutonium synthesis. is clas-
sified information, according to
an Atomic Energy Commission
spokesman.
1t has been revealed. however
that pure fashionable material is
required. U-235 is the only fis-
sionable material in nature.
With the final reduction Of the
discrepancy to less than a fourth
of an ounce by analysis of wastes
and residues, the spokesman said,
it becomes highly improbable that
ANYTHING has been stolen.
