its force. Highest winds dropped
to so miles an hour.
The Miami Weather Bureau in
an advisory issued at S am. placed
the center of the ll-defined and
weakened disturbance at 200 miles
southwest of Kingston.
The storm continued to move
along westward course that of
fered no immediate threat to any
land area.
Far out in the Atlantic, mean
while. another tropical storm was
located about 800 miles east
northeast of Antigua in the Lee
ward Islands. Winds of near
hurricane force whirled around
the center and gales extended go
miles to the north and 80 miles

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-No
atomic world war, nor any other
kind of world war, was the pre-
diction made to the American
Chemical Society today by DR..
James B. Conant, president of
Harvard.
| We shall come close to a world
war. There will be smaller wars.
But the turning point has been
passed already. 1t came in 1850
when the free nations decided to
Irearm.
DR.. Conant's subject was "a
Skeptical Chemist Looks Into the
Crystal Ball" He was one of the
wartime top scientists in making
A-bombs.
Il see in this crystal ball." he
said, neither an atomic holo-
caust nor the golden abundance
of an atomic age. On the con-
ltrary, / see worried humanity en-
deavoring by one political device
after another to find a way out
of the atomic age.
Sees No Menace.
'The year 1948, for example
does not glare with menace in
my crystal ball. Paris, London
Berlin, New York, Moscow, still
stand physically undamaged by
any enemy action since World
War II.
How did the industrialized
nations avoid de-industrializinp
each other by atomic bombs?
Only by the narrowest of margins
and only because time and again
when one side or the other was
about to take the plunge, the ex-
pert military advisers could not
guarantee ultimate military sue
cess.
"Of course, the turning point
was in 1850. the first year when
collective security became a
reality. For when the free world
had once made up its mind to
meet each type of military threat
OF the Soviet Union with a defense
against that threat. and no longer
relied on the magic of atomic
bombs, from that moment on
hopes for an eventual disarma-
ment revived.
