Momenfous Advances
In Splitting Of Atoms
Revealed 10 Congress
Commission Reports
Creation Of Elements;
Copper, Gold Transmitted
By Thomas R. Henry

Far-reaching scientific advances
were announced by the Atomic
Energy Commission today in it's
semi-annual report to Congress.
First was the production of
super-atomic cannonballs for the
commandment of atomic nuclei.
This makes possible for the first
time production in appreciable
quantities of the heavy, newly
discovered -uranic elements,
the hottest things in existence.
entirely man-made basic building
stones of creation.
These elements - americium
curium, berkelium and californi-
um-have been created during the
year in the great cyclotron of the
University of California by bonn
harding uranium with alpha
particles. The alpha particle is
the nucleus of the helium atom,
the largest atomic bullet which
could be shot into the nucleus of
another atom. The production of
the new elements has been ex-
tremely slow and costly. The total
amounts produced have been
microscopic, barely sufficient to
be identified as new elements.
Concentrated on Target.
From the first it has been rec
ognized that if nuclei of heavier
atoms could be used which would
add four or five neutrons, instead
of the two of the alpha particle,
to the uranium atom, it would be
possible greatly to accelerate the
process. The difficulty was that
these heavier nuclei could not be
concentrated into beams which
would be aimed at a target.
This now has been accomplished,
the commission announced, with
the nuclei of two isotopes of car
bon which contain four times as
many neutrons as alpha particles
and have far more devastating
effect. They have been concen-
trated into beams and shot out
with an energy of 100 million elec-
tron volts.
Up to now two major transmu-
tations have been accomplished.
Gold has been transmitted into
the element astatine, similar in
its major properties to iodine and
non-existent in nature. 1t is ra-
dioactive and any that may have

Truman Gives
Tax Program
ToCon1mittee
Republican Members
Included in Preview
Of $16.5 Billion PIon
By Cecil HoIIond


President Truman today gave
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee a preview of his tax pro-
gram designed eventually to raise
at least $16.5 billion for the ex-
panding preparedness program.
The secret meeting was attended
by both Democratic and Republ;-
can members of the committee.
The Republicans were invited in
an unusual presidential move to
obtain bipartisan consideration of
what will be the country's largest
peacetime tax measure. 1t was
the first time the Republicans had
been invited to such a conference.
Early New Taxes Sought.
The Representatives were asked
to keep secret the details of the
message that is expected to be
sent to Congress on Friday. How
ever, from discussions it was un-
derstood that Mr.. Truman will
ask:
l. Fast action to impose new
taxes totaling between 50 and
$40 billion.
2. An increase of four percent
age points in present rates for
individual income taxpayers with
a view toward the raising of at
least 81 billion more.
3. An increase to SIS per cent
in the corporation income tax
rates which, it is expected. would
produce about SO billion.
4. Increases in and expansion
of the base of present excise taxes.
Exemptions Apparently Stand.
1t was understood that Mr.. Tru-
man does not plan to ask at this
time for lowered exemptions for
individual income taxpayers.
There has been scme discussion
that the exemptions would be
lowered from $500 to $500.
The increases in individual rates
would raise them even higher than
they were in World War II. The
present rates now average about
20 per cent.
Members of the tax writing
committee said they were told the
message would be submitted Fri
day. The committee has sched-
uled hearings starting Monday
with Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder as first witness.
Mr.. Snyder testified yesterday
before the House committee in
behalf of a bill to allow holders
of Government E bonds to re-
tain them for another 10 years
after maturity. The bill would au-
thorlze an average interest rate
of 29 per cent.

for Control
OF kanpower Policy
Is Taken 10 Truman
Naming Of Co-ordinotor
By Wilson Delayed os
Tobin Seeks Post

Top Federal officials today
looked to President Truman for
an early decision in the inter-
agency struggle over who will be
manpower boss of the defense
program.
1t was indicated, meanwhile,
that the Office of Mobilization
Chief Charles E. Wilson had been
prevented, at least for the time
being, from appointing co-ordi-
nator of manpower policies for
all phases of mobilization. Mr..
Wilson had planned to make the
appointment Immediately.
The tug-of-war control of the
manpower program is between
MFR. Wilson's Office of Defense
Mobilization and Secretary of
Labor Tobin. Mr.. Tobin, who al
ready had taken his case to Mr.
Truman, saw the President pri-
vately again yesterday, it was said.
Apparently Mr.. Tobin, in his
talk with the President, succeeded
in bringing enough pressure on
Mr.. Wilson's Office to at least
cause a delay in selection of the
manpower boss.
No Decision Reached.
Shortly after his White House
visit, Mr.. Tobin went into a meet
ing at Mr.. Wilson's Office that had
been arranged in an effort to set
tie the differences. It was pre-
sided over by Gen. Lucius D. Clay,
special assistant to Mr.. Wilson.
and attended by, among others,
Selective Service Director Hershey
and Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, as
sistant secretary in charge of De-
fense Department manpower
problems.
The meeting broke up without
any settlement of the issue. Those
attending refused comment on
what had taken place.
Mr.. Wilson, in his broad grant
OF authority from the President,
was given control over manpower
| along with direction of policies
for other phases of the mobiliza-
ton program. He feels that if
he is to direct the big defense
program well he must have di-
rection of such a vital part of
the program as manpower place
ment.
Craftsmanship in Question.
But Mr.. Tobin, also on direc-
ton Of the President, has been
running civilian nanpower aspects
OF the defense program.
The big question was whether
Secretary Tobin or a man at
tached directly to Mr.. Wilson's
office should be chairman of an
lnter-agency committee co-ordi-
mating the manpower claims of
the armed forces, defense produc-
tion and essential civilian activi-
| ties.
With a man of cabinet rank as
co-ordlnator. the Wilson Office
feels that it would lose the final
say on manpower policy matters.
They believe that the manpower
program should be integrated
closely with production, transpor-
tation, stabilization, and other
parts of the defense effort.
