Elder Branson Speaks
AT Adventist Meetinq

Extreme selfishness" is one of
the principal reasons for war
scares, according to Elder William
H. Branson, president OF the World
General Conference, Seventh day
Adventists.
He made the statement in a talk
last night before about 1000 per-
sons attending the annual Potomac
Conference Today camp meeting
in the Sligo Church, Flower and
Carroll avenues, Takoma Park.
IF the national leaders of the
many nations of the world would
obey the great commandment of
God-love to God and man-peace
would reign over the face of the
earth. :" the church leader de-
clared.
Earlier, Elder D. Arthur Dalai
field, assistant editor of the Re-
view and Herald, the church pub
LEGATION, said the greatest need
of the world today is the need for
young men and women who will
forget the alluring vices Of the
world and who will fire themselves
with the vision of Christ as the
worlds redeemer'
Young men and women will
have to abandon their habits of
drinking, smoking and immorali-
ty," he asserted.
Today's session will be high
lighted by selection of a commit
tee to nominate new conference
officials and a report by the local
president, Elder H. J. Detwiler.

Lack of Active Support Charged.
Preparation of the book, DR..
Hlrschfelder declared, was made
exceedingly difficult because of
the lack of active support of the
Atomic Energy Commission"
A commission spokesman III
Washington said there would be
no comment.
/ The scientist. who is a consult
ant for the Los Alamos Labora-
tory. accused the commission OF
having very little appreciation
of the technical difficulties con-
nected with atomic energy prob

This" he said, sis the result
!, of having professional admins
traitors with inadequate or no Sc
entif1c training at the top Level
| Apparently, they do not realize
the desirability of compiling AID
analysing the technical effects OF
atomic weapons.
DR.. Hirschfelder said that one
time the commission ordered
atomic experts to stop work on
the weapons treatise for a period
of six weeks apparently as a re-
suit of political pressure"
Commission Setup Criticized.
He continued:
II was discouraged from bring
ing together groups of chapter
authors with technical experts to
attempt to settle once and for all
some of the confusing technical
problems which arose in connec-
ton with this treatise.
"One Of the principal difficult
ties which arose in the prepara-
ton of this treatise was due to
the extreme compartmentalization
of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion =. because of the compart-
naturalization we found that ex-
perts on a particular subject were
not aware of the research results
in the same field which had been
obtained in other laboratories
which profoundly affected their
technical viewpoints.
There is a great deal of rivalry
between the central offices of the
Atomic Energy Commission in
Washington and the outlying lab
oratorieS, and considerable jeal-
ousy over their respective pre-
negatives" the Wisconsin chemist
said. "On this account we were
often slowed down because of mat
tiers of protocol"

Ruling on Bridges Due
Soon as Union Begins
Anti-Leftist Revolt
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-
Longshore Chieftsin Harry
Bridges, jailed last Saturday as q
threat to the Nations security
faced his second week end behinc
bars today amid growing evidence
of revolt in his own local union.
The United States Circuit Court
of Appeals was expected to rule
probably early next week, on an
effort to release Bridges from Jail
A Federal District Court last Sat
urday upheld the Government and
revoked the $4,000 bail on which
Bridges had been free since his
perjury conspiracy conviction last
April.
Bridges, with two fellow officers
of the CLIO longshore union he
heads, was convicted of lying when
he testified at his 1945 citizen
ship hearing that he never had
been a Communist. The Govern
ment contended that his opinions
on United States policy in Korea
endangered the country's security
Last night San Francisco Local
No. 10, for years a leftwing unit
controlled by Bridges, voted 1858
to 982, in favor of dissolving fra
ternal affiliation with the Com
munist- dominated World Fedora
ton of Trade Unions.
This was a slap at Bridges, who
testified at last weeks hearing
that he had advocated no loca
action on this issue.
Meanwhile in Hawaii. the
Wailuku Sugar Co. on the island
of Maui reported that 269 worker,
walked off their jobs today in pro.
test of Bridges falling.

The citizens of Minooka, Pa.

october ?, l945.
That was the day Detroit won
the American League flag and
went on 10 whip Chicago's Cubs
in the World Series.
Today they are all aglow over
the f1ve-game winning streak OF
BoSton'S Red SoX.
Does that suggest that the
MinookanS are a fickle bunch?
Not at all. AS a matter of fact,
there aren't many die-hard Red
Sox rooters in the small town in
Northeastern PENNSYLVANIA. Just
as there weren't many avid Tiger
rooterS in AS.
1t is simply that Minooka is

Five in Row for Red Soy.
Under O'Neills s guidance, Boston
has turned in five straight VIC
tories. The wonder of it is that
all have been won on the road.
That is where the Red Sox usually
meet their Waterloo. Before
ONeill took charge. the Sox had
dropped IL of their last l3 games.
O'Neill had to wait until the
llth inning last night to find out
whether he was still unbeaten as
a manager this year. Two walks,
a hit batsman and singles by AL
Zarilla and Pitcher Joe Dobson
pushed across two runs in the l1th
to enable Boston to defeat the
Athletics. Us. Dobson had re-
placed Starter Mel Parnell when
the AS rallied for a run in the
ninth to deadlock the score at SIS.
Ted Williams spanked the Red
Sox's 16-hit attack, knocking in
two runs on three hits, his 22d
home run and two doubles. The
victory boosted the Red Sox to
within one game of the third
