Before we began. we rehearsed
the safety precautions carefully
Finally. it was time to remove
the control rods. Slowly Mr.. We'll
started to withdraw the main con-
troll rod. On the balcony. we
watched the indicators which
measured the neutron count and
told us how rapidly the disinte-
grafton of the uranium atoms un-
der their neutron bombardment
was proceeding.
At 1885 am, the counters were
clicking rapidly. Then, with q
loud clap. the automatic control
rods slammed home. The safety
point had been set too low.
1t seemed a good time to eat
lunch.
During lunch every one was
thinking about the experiment
but nobody talked much about it.
At 2:30 Mr.. We'll pulled out the
control rod in a series Of meas
ured adjustments.
Event Wasn't Spectacular.
Shortly after the intensity shown
by the indicators began to rise at
a slow but ever increasing rate.
At this moment we knew that the
self-sustaining reaction was un-
der way. The event was not spec
tacular. no fuses burned, no lights
flashed. But to us all it meant
that release Of atomic energy on
a large scale would be only mat
ter of time.
The further development of
atomic energy during the next
three years of the war was, of
course. focused on the main OBJ
jective of producing an effective
weapon. At the same time we
all hoped that with the end OF
the war the emphasis would be
shifted decidedly from the weapon
to the peaceful aspects of atomic
energy. We hoped that perhaps
the building of power plants. the
production of radioactive ele-
ments for science and medicine
would become the paramount OBJ
jectiveS.
Unfortunately, the end Of the
war did not bring brotherly love
among nations. The fabrication

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE New
York Herald Tribune said today
that Army officials have disclosed
that relatives of American service
men now presumed to be in North
Korean or Chinese prison camps
have been deluged with Com
propaganda for months.
A wide variety of propaganda
about the Far Eastern war was
and, in some instances,
offered to render special services
to such prisoners-for a price.
A Washington dispatch to the
newspaper by c. B. Allen said:
"One Army official said that,
in some cases. the agencies or per-
sons sending such (propaganda)
material to worried parents. wives
and sweethearts of servicemen
in action in Korea have

Texas Parties Merge To Back Ike In November

SAN ANTONIO, P)-Republi- cans seeking to cinch the Texas vote for Eisenhower hurdled an- cient party lines and snuffed out the hottest internal feud in state COP history.
 Their convention here Tuesday named a full ticket of already nominated Democrats as 1Repub- lican candidates for state offices, an action unprecedented in Texas politics. It healed a threatened split by a series of conciliatory moves and considerable back slapping-all in an effort to pre- sent solid front for Eisenhower.
 Nominated as Democrat-Repub- licans were Gov. Allen Shivers for Governor; Atty. Gen. Price Daniels for US. Senator; former Rep. Martin Dies for congress man-at-large. Along with them went the full slate named by the Democrats in July for other state offices.
 Their names, under new Tex as law, will go on the November election ballot both as Republi- cans and Democrats unless the in- dividual candidates withdraw.
 To meet that contingency, the convention passed resolution em- towering it's state executive com ,mittee to fill any vacancy that may occur. It already had that power and has taken such action many times in the past.
 That would make certain there are no blanks in the Republican column on the general election ballot.

No Alaska Timber To Be Exported To Japan

JUNEAU, (P - A. w. Black erby of the regional U. s. Pores try Office said Tuesday no ap- plication for export of logs to Japan has been received.
 Blackerby is in charge of the office in the absence of Regional Forester B. Frank Heinzleman.
 His statement followed Seattle reports of lumber industry oppo- sition to a Japanese proposal for taking out Alaskan timber.
 Blackerby said there has been no change in the long-standing policy of the Forestry Service which requires primary manufac- turing before shipment from the territory. The purpose is to foster Alaska industry.

Aluminium Co. Must Get OK From Canadian Govt.

OTTAWA, (P)-FederaI resour- ces experts said Monday there will be many complications in de- velopment of a huge Alaska alu- minum plant by the Aluminium Company of America.
 First, Alcoa will have to obtain agreement from the Canadian and British Columbia governments be- fore it can divert the waters of the Yukon River for the creation of cheap hydro power.
 Second, the Canadian govern ment will want assurance that Yukon's power and navigational interests are we'll protected be- fore it will agree to the diversion.
 Alcoa has not as yet placed any application before the Canadian government, requesting permis- sion to make the Yukon River diversion.
 A further aspect of the Alcoa announcement is that the Alumi- mum Go. of Canada is constructing a 100000 aluminium plant at Kitimat, B.C., and is attempt ing to expand it's market in the United States.
 However, officials here believe this should provide no hindrance to the development of the new Alaska company since the world demand for aluminium would re- main strong for many years to come.

 Rankin and Abernathy were opponents because the state leg islature combined their districts last April to eliminate congress Sional seat lost in the 1850 census.
 The 49-year-old Abernathy was reserved about dethroning the TO- year-old dean of the Mississippi congressional delegation who was seeking his 17th term in the House of Representatives.
 Abernathy's victory statement said he had been Rankin'S friend during his own 10-year tenure in Congress and s'I regret we found ourselves in the same district, thus making our opposition un- avOilable."

Man Arrested For
 Swindling State of $6,OOO Of Children Aid Funds

SEATTLE, (R) = A Filipino cannery foreman charged week ago with aiding his wife in swind- ling the state out of $6,000 of aid- to-dependent children funds was arrested Monday as he stepped off an airplane from Kodiak.
 He was Vincent Dela Cerna, 51. He was released on $5,O00 bond on a grand larceny charge.
 Earlier, Ben J. Thieme, admin istrative assistant to the county welfare department, who brought the charges against the couple, estimated Mrs. Dela Cerna had obtained altogether about $30,000 in "A.D.C." funds during the past 20 years. The 50-year-old woman had represented that her husband was not living at home and that she needed the money for her children, he said.
 Actually, Thieme said, the hus- band was home when he was not at work on his job. They had different addresses here, Thieme added.

Stevenson Blasts Attackers Of Gen. Marshall

NEW YORK, (P)-Gov. Adlai Stevenson today coldly accused the attackers of Gen. George C. Marshall of hiding under cloak of patriotism which he called "the last refuge of scoundrelS."
 The Democratic presidential nominee did not use any names but he left no doubt that one of the main targets of his bitter blast was Republican Sen. Joseph Mccarthy of Wisconsin-onetime recipient of an American Legion award for Americanism.
 Mccarthy has accused Marshall, former Secretary of State and for mer Secretary of Defense, of being party to plot against the security of his own country.
 Stevenson launched his surprise outburst in a speech written for the American Legion Convention meeting in Madison Square Gar den where COP nominee General Eisenhower spoke only two days ago.
 Also, Stevenson figuratively wagged a finger under the Le- gion's nose and told them he would not submit to any pressures from the Legion if he thought their demands were excessive or in conflict with the public in- tereSt."
 It was a fighting speech with patriotism as the theme and through it ran plea to defend freedom of thought in the fight against Communism.
 Stevenson assailed Communism as "the death of the soul" but he added freedom of thought is being menaced by over-zealous patriots.
 He told Legionnaires patriotism lis not shot, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime"
 Then in his first major drive for votes in the East, Stevenson said there are men among us ''who use patriotism as a club for attacking other Americans"
 Stevenson made only one refer ence in his speech to Eisenhower. He said: "The fact that a great general and I are competing can didates for the presidency will not diminish my warm respect for his military achievements. Nor will that respect keep me from using every honest effort to de- feat him in November"

Reeve Claims Top COP Support For. New Statehood Bill

ANCHORAGE, (P)-Bob Reeve, Republican nominee for Delegate to Congress, claimed Tuesday top Republican support for Alaska statehood as a result of his visit with Gen. Eisenhower and Sen. Hugh Butler of Nebraska.
 Reeve attended the seven-state conference with Eisenhower, the Republican presidential nominee, in Kansas City last week. He said he obtained full support of Butler, who has been an arch-opponent of statehood in past sessions of Congress, for a revised statehood bill.
 Reeve said General Eisenhower also pledged support wholeheart- edly.
 Reeve said he went over four points to be included in Repub- lican-drawn statehood bill and won Buffers support for:
 Full control of Alaska re- sources by the new state, includ- ing the Pribilof Islands, with re- cognition of any international in terest of Canada or Japan in fur seals.
 All lands to the state except military reservations, Mt. McKin- ley National Park, and reserva- tion proved to be in the public interest, including national for ests, except that the new state would be deeded a strip of land not less than 10 miles in depth on the coast lines contiguous to na- tional forests for townsite and community development pur- poses.
 3-The Enabling Act would re- cognize a state constitution pro- vision for control and ownership of all lands covered by tidal waters up to the line of mean high tide.
 4-No part of the statehood bill is to conflict with federal con- trol of water power or free navi- gation rights.
 Reeve said he told Eisenhower it is necessary for the new state to have adequate control of its re- sources to assure its future.
 Reeve commented: ''The oppor- tunities that will accrue to free enterprise and the addition of na- tional wealth is almost beyond calculation"

House in 1945. The subcommit-
tee also produced a copy Of a letter
which Mr.. baltimore testified he
had largely drafted in the hope
of having it appear in newspapers
over the signature of Thomas La
mont, New York financier.
The witness asserted that it
was a complete misconception"
to say that the proposed letter
advocated helping the Chinese
Communists to the exclusion of
the Chinese Nationalists. He de-
scribed his position in 1945 as
having advocated not a change
in American foreign policy, but
a return to Continuity of policy
to promote a united front in
China"
The documents relating to his
proposals to President Truman
also stressed the desirability of a
United States policy to unity
China by effecting "a settlement
between Chang Kai-shek and the
Communists and simultaneously
an agreement between America,
Russia and Britain to build up
China as a whole"
Invited to White House.
The documents indicated that
Mr.. baltimore first wrote to the
President on June 10. 1945, and
suggested the impartial review OF
foreign policy. The President re-
piled June IA to invite Mr.. Latti-
more to the White House. The
President stated that: "The Chi
nese situation is developing all
right. The policy has been def
nitely outlined to the Chinese. The
Russians and the British and our
selves have reached an agreement
which I think is in the best interest
of China"
In the June 10 letter containing
the first memorandum, Mr.. Latti-
more stated:
Until quite recently great care
was taken to avoid any inference
that America, in aiding China as
nation. was committing itself to
all-out support of one party in
China's domestic affairs. There
now appears to be a fundamental
change. Public statements by men
