FISH CREEK OVERRUN WITH FISH, FISHERMEN

KNIK-With the salmon run in Fish Creek going at top speed, Knik news is entirely ''fishy" these days. Fishermen who have nets out at the mouth of Fish Creek or at Goose Bay are re- porting good catches, almost with out exception.
 Fishing visitors noted at Knik in the past few days included these Palmer-ites:
 MT. and Mrs. H. A. Benson and daughter Arlene, MT. and Mrs. L. w. Bixby, Mrs. William Head and son Rodney, MT. and Mrs. Miles France, Lew Hanks, "Pat" Murphy, MT. and Mrs. Jack Tost, Mrs. Vernon Fridley and son, Yer non, Jr., Johnny Alex, and MT. and Mrs. Jack Sisley.

FARM DOINGS IN THE VALLEY
CONSERVATION NOTES
 By Lew E. Hanks

Your correspondent was drag ging his feet this week. I had hoped to give you something on chemical weed control. I had in- tended to make observations at the Matanuska Station as well as on various farms. I guess I don't get around so fast these late summer days.
 A systematic soil building crop rotation, which includes a peren- nial grass, will hold most weeds under control, though. A vigor- ous well fertilized and managed Dr0nne grass stand will in time eliminate chickWeed and mustard and will even thin out a stand of quack grass, to the point where it can be controlled.
 Quack grass, like death and taxes, we will have with us for ever. We may as well learn to live with it. l don't know a better way of getting along with it than durning it into COW feed while it eliminates itself trying to com pete with brome.
 Bronze is a long term grass and fits best into or 6-year or long CT rotation. A good short term rotation might we'll be as follows:
 Seed timothy and alsike clov- CT with a light grain crop cut for silage.
 l or 2 years timothy hay or pasture
 4 year potatoes l year other row crop
 Then back 10 grain and jim %o1hY.
 In places where timothy does well this rotation ought to fit nicely into a diversified farm set-up.

IS Aloskons Must Join Uncle Som'ss Boys During September

Alaska's quota for the first draft call has been set at Is men, John L. Mccormick, territorial director of selective service, an- nounced last week. Local boards at Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Nome and Kodiak have been in- structed to call up 70 men for pre-induction physical examina- tions this week. In September, the chosen 15 will be inducted.
 Men who are 25 years old will be called first, with the draft reaching down to the 19-year- olds last.
 Mr. Mccormick stressed the fact that all men between the ages of 18 and 25, inclusive, must register. Men will not be drafted until they reach the age of 19, however.
 All registrants must keep their local draft board notified of any change of address. For Palmer men that local board is in An chorage Men who fail to comply with this section of the selective service act will be declared de- linquent and will be ordered to report for induction without physical examination, the selec- tive service head stated.

British Fear Spy Case
May Hinder Freer
Atom Secret Exchange
BY the Associated Press


LONDON, Feb. 4. - Political
leaders fretted today over the pos
Sibility that Britain's latest atomic
spy case may torpedo chances for
a full exchange of atomic secrets
with the United States and
Canada.
The case broke yesterday when
DR.. Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs, de-
scribed as the mastermind of Bri-
tain's only atomic energy plant,
was arraigned on charges of CIV
ing away American atomic secrets
in 1945 and 1947.
Some American Senators i'm
mediately demanded that Britain
be denied any further secret
atomic information developed by
American research.
There was no official comment
on the case in London. Normally
cooperative spokesmen for all
government departments from
Scotland Yard to Prime Minister
Attlee's Office shut up like clans
at the mention of Fuchs name.
But politicians expressed alarm
privately over the possibility the
case may cause the United States
to turn down Britain's bid for
freer exchange of atomic knoWl-
edge.
The two nations have been
talking over freer exchange with
Canada for several months. The
best authoritative information
here is that Britain does not have
the atmoic bomb. She does. how
ever, have atomic piles for re-
search, operated by the govern
ment's Ministry of Supply.
Fuchs arrest touched off Brit
aims biggest spy scare since DR..
Allan Num- May was sent to Jail
in 1946 for 10 years for giving
the Russians samples of Uranium
235. a key atom bomb material.
A German-born scientist, whose
father is a theology professor in
the Soviet zone of Germany, Fuchs
was sent to London's gloomy Brix-
ton prison without bail after a
preliminary hearing yesterday. He
faces trial next Friday on two
charges of twice disclosing official
secrets which might be useful to
an enemy. If convicted on both
counts, he could be sent to prison
for up to IA years.
Under Brixton Prisons rules.
Fuchs is entitled to receive one
visitor a day. The governors Of
flee at Brixton refused to say
whether anyone has seen him
yet.
AS prisons go. Brixton offers
some advantages. Fuchs may
wear his own clothes instead of
prison garb. If he has money,
he may buy cigarettes and sup
plement prison food with restau-
rant fare. Prisoners may exercise
in the yard.
One a debtors prison, Brixton
has TOO cells. Each has a bed
and strip of carpet. In a cor
ner is a washstand and a shelf
for books. There is also a prison
library.
May, the central figure in Brit
aims 1946 spy case, was the
senior member of the nuclear
physics division of the Supply
Ministry's atom bomb research
unit. He pleaded guilty after his
name turned up in the investiga-
tion of a Canadian spy ring.

Scientists Urge Use
OF H-Bomb Only After
Foe First Employs II
By the Assoeioted pre..

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Twelve
top American. scientists called to-
day for solemn promise that the
United States never will use the
hydrogen bomb unless it is first
employed against us or our allies.
The scientists, mostly A-bomb
men, said this country should de-
velop the bomb for one reason
only-to prevent it's being used,
They sounded two warnings:
1-Russia probably will have the
H-bomb in less than four years.
2-The bomb-ours or the Rus
sians'-will be much more power
full than most estimates have indi-
Gated. A. single H-bomb could wipe
out New York or any other great
city.
Speaking As Worried Citizens.
Its use would be betrayal of
all standards of morality and of
Christian civilization ITSELF" said
the group, headed by the real
father of the H-bomb, DR.. Hans A.,
Bethe of Cornell University. who
discovered how the sun makes
its heat with hydrogen.
All are attending the annual
meeting of the American Physical
Society. They spoke for no group,
but for themselves as worried
citizens"
Despite the H-bomb's vast
power, their statement said, this
country could survive an H-bomb
attack and effectively strike back.
They said it will be difficult to
stockpile the bombs because they
probably must be liquid hydrogen
at about $50 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit.
And they said it is certain that
the Russians will be able to build
the bomb, too.

pressed alarm that the sensational
charges brought against the Ger

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The hy-
drogen bomb within year, and
what next? viii there be more,
how soon. how much worse?
What can we expect, and what
will be the limit?
If the hydrogen bomb succeeds,
the answer is there will be more.
Because the hydrogen bomb taps
"a source that was supposed to exist
only in the stars.
Once open that door and the
possibilities are endless. How fast
will they come? The hydrogen
bomb is arriving ahead of the
schedule which cautious scientists
set in their testimony before the
Senate four years ago.,
Five to 10 years, they said,
without specifying what bomb.
Can they be worse? The H
bomb is said to be, at worst,
thousand times more powerful
than the atomic bomb. But a few
competent scientists said there
was possibility of bombs thou
sands of times more powerful.
They said this was remote. But
now that one seems about to
come true, there is new weight
in their speculations.
Many Other Bombs Ahead.
Ahead are the lithium bomb, the
boron bomb and the humiliation
bomb-to name only those which
are in the published records. All
these belong to the lightweight
chemical elements, in which
scientists expect to find most of
their early bombs. You can add
carbon bombs and nitrogen
bombs, and maybe beryllium, to
amplify the lightweight posi-
bilities.
Why can these things be con-
sidered possible? The phosphor
match, the kind you strike on
your shoe, gives the answer. Coal
and wood must be heated to hun
dreds of degrees before they will
burn. The match ignites with the
mild heat of friction, and then
can communicate the heat to
start the fire.
In the world of nuclear bombs,
all except two must be preheated
like wood and coal. They must
be heated to millions of degrees,
with tons of pressure. The two ex-
ceptions are uranium and pluton-
ium bombs. These are set off by
cool neutrons-no great heat re-
quired.
These two are the phosphor
matches, which science fears can
set eff the others. These two fur
nish the millions of degrees heat
and pressures. The question is
do the atomic matches" blaze
long enough?
Mechanism Is Simple.
The bomb mechanism is almost
absurdly simple. You, your house,
the stars, everything in the known
universe are made of only two
kinds Of particles, protons and
neutrons. About half your weight
is neutrons. the rest protons, and
you can disregard electrons be-
cause they weigh so little.
These particles form all the
atoms, one for hydrogen, 239 for
plutonium. When an atom splits
in about two equal pieces 1t emits
tremendous energy. mostly as
heat. That is the A-bomb.
When two or more of these par
ticles are brought together to
form an atom-any atom-they
again emit energy, as heat. The
reason is that when the particles
are separate they are heavier
than when in the nucleus of an
atom. AS they enter, they lose
some mass, and this loss will make
| a bomb, IL the fuSing particles are
