House Approves Death
For Peaceiime Spies
BY the Associated Press

Peacetime spying would be
punishable by death, for the
first time in United States his
tory. under an administration
bill passed 1890 by the House
yesterday. The measure now
goes to the Senate.
The bill would also remove the
present 10-year limit on prose-
cution for espionage. It also
would broaden the espionage
and sabotage laws to make them
apply to germ and atomic war
fare.
The, House defeated, on a st.
20 standing vote, a proposal to
make sabotage punishable by
death.

Opens as Remote Possibility

came within close proximity to
a proton the two would i'm
mediately eliminate each other,
with a corresponding release of
energy according to the Einstein
equation Of the equivalence of
mass and energy.
This equation is the basis of
the atomic bomb. A very minute
part Of the mass of the bomb is
changed into energy. With a
negatron : proton association
there would be q conversion of
the entire mass.
There is a high probability,
DR.. Bethe said, that the negative
proton Is an actuality-sinnply
on the analogy that the basic
particles Of matter come in pairs.
This Is the only known excep-
ton.
Produced 'tMesons."
The extremely high-voltage
atom smasher produced particles
called "mesons." They average
about 1000 times the mass of
an electron. They may be con-
sidered transition states between
matter and energy. They have
lifetimes determined in mill
lionths Of seconds. Then they
split up into protons and cleo
irons, the traditional forms OF
matter.
Now, according to highly COM
plicated theoretical calculations,
If the mesons-perhaps more
likely a new type of particle
called the hyperion" which is
twice as heavy as a proton-were
shot out with sufficient energy
they might just as well split up
into negatrons and positive cleo
irons or POSITIONS. The POSITION
is well known. It has q very
short lifetime because it is de-
stroyed by contact with an cleo
iron, but the masses involved
are so small there is no great
energy production.
A minimum of about six-billion
electron volt particles of the
meson type would be necessary
before negatrons could be ex-
pected, DR.. Bethe explained.
Might Endure Forever.
If the negatron could be kept
in a complete vacuum, a con-
dition which cannot be realized
on earth. it might endure for
ever and a supply would be ac-
cumlated. Since the complete
vacuum is impossible-and in
any event must be included in
walls Of some sort made of posi-
tive matter-there apparently is
no possibility whatsoever of get
ting such a supply. There also
is no possibility of getting q
permanent pool Of POSITIONS.
But even If a single negatron
and a single proton ever meet
in a vacuum tube, DR.. Bethe ex-
planned, the result will be some
thing to watch"
There can be no certain asser-
ton that somewhere in the uni
verse there may not be> great
concentrations Of negative mat
ter"-the nuclei of whose atoms
are made up Of negatrons with

ton is the core Of the hydrogen
atom and the main substance
out of which all ordinary matter
Is made.
When an anti-proton and a
proton collide they presumably
destroy each other. That appar-
emily was what happened, DR..
Schein said, when the space
visitor hit the film back. It col
lided, with a proton in the alu-
minum covering of the film pack.
For scientists the implications
are far-reaching. They suggest
that somewhere in the universe
there exists q means of annihi-
lating or converting into energy
all the various kinds of matter
known on earth.
1t also lends support to some
thing else which scientists long
have suSpected-that somewhere
within the realm of creation
there may be forms of matter
made entirely of contra-terrene
particles.
To complete that picture at
least one more reverse" particle
would be needed-an anti-neu-
tron. This would be the counter

POSITIONS taking the place of cleo
irons. For all anybody knows
there may be whole stellar galax-
les, as big as the Milky Way
system. made up of such matter.
Galaxies, it is now known,
crash together now and then.
Meeting of a positive and mega
tive galaxy might very well mean
the end not only of two billion
star aggregations themselves but
of all creation.

ScieneN Editor of The Stor

Discovery Of end traces of
what apparently was the long
sought "negatron" in cosmic RAJ
diation trapped at the top of the
earth's atmosphere, announced
by DR.. Marcel Schein at q Seattle
meeting of the American Ply
seal Society yesterday. has quite
significant theoretical implica-
lions.
It fills a hitherto empty place
in mans knowledge Of the basic
structure of matter and of the
universe. theoretically, the
"negatron" long has been as
sumed to exist. There have been
reports that such a particle
actually has been produced in
several extremely high energy
demonstrating machines, &C
cording to Carnegie Institution Of
Washington physicists, but none
of these have been published be-
cause the supporting evidence
has been too incenclusive.
DR.. Schein's paper yesterday
constitutes the first official re-
port in the literature of science
and well may constitute nota-
BILE landmark.
Fantastic Implications:
Aside from the theoretical
significance of demonstration of
the negative PARTICLES existence,
it is questionable whether the
negatron ever will have any
practical value. But some of the
very remote implications are
fantastic in the extreme.
For If only a few ounces of
negatrons could be corralled-
there is no presently imagined
technique by which this could
be done-the result could be an
explosive that would destroy the
earth completely in a fraction
of a second.
A few years ago there were
rumors that the Russians had
corralled few-rumors believed
unquestionably false.
But with the new type of atom
smashers producing fundamental
particles of matter with energies
of billions OF electron volts, such
as the cosmotron at the Brook
haven laboratories of the Atomic
Energy Commission or the 25-
billion-volt proton synchroton
now planned near Geneva by a
group of IL Western European
countries. it is highly probable
that a~few Of the malevolent
particles will be produced in the
next few years.
This was revealed at meetings
of the National Academy of
Sciences here in May by DR.. H.
A. Bethe of Cornell University,
one of the worlds most dis
tinguished scientists.
Equation Basis of A-Bomb.
The negatron is a negatively
charged proton. Protons, which
constitute the bulk of the nuclei
Of all atoms and hence the bulk
of all matter On earth, are the
positively charged elementary
particles, about 1000 times the
mass Of the negatively charged
electrons although much smaller
in volume. If a negatively
charged particle of the same size

Door Calls
Boost Chest
Says Blossom

Climaxing ten days of intense
door-to-door solicitation through
out the city, Community Chest
volunteer solicitors reported their
final section totals at the Chests
annual closing night dinner, in the
Statler Hotel, October 28th.
Reporting for the Hayden Sec
tion, Chairman Robert Barkley
tailed a final result of $1510.45,
raised from 552 contributors, for
$500 of the section goal.
Mr.. William V. Cumler, Chair
man of the Euclid-South section,
reported a final total of $6256.00,
contributed by 887 pledges, for
$3.50 of the section goal.
Chairman of the Superior Sec
tion, Mrs. NJ. H. Barnes, reported
a final total of $3609.81, from TIA
pledges, for $500 of the section
goal.
Dudley S. Blossom, Chairman of
the Metropolitan Division, thanked
his more than 1000 volunteer
workers for the excellent job they
had done. "To all of them goes
the credit for making this years
Metropolitan Division campaign a
success" he said. The division
reached its goal by 100.496.
This years closing night dinner
was sponsored by the Clevite Cor
poration, which played host to
more than a thousand volunteers
from the Chests four soliciting di-
visions. The dinner climaxed the
spectacular ten-day Community
Chest drive, which raised more
money than ever before, but still
fell short of it's $7,790,0O0. goal by
one percentage point.

many years, and has made an ex-
tensive study of this aspect of the
church's ministry. The services
will take the form of special medi-
tations by DR.. Gill, emphasizing the
biblical background of this type of
healing ministry, and discussions
of the need for an integrated per-
sonality in order that one may
possess health of body and soul.
The services will be held each
Wednesday, beginning November
10th at 1890 a. m. in st. PauPs

In addition to conducting these
services, DR.. Gill will be available
for personal counselling ca C h
Wednesday from 1 to A p. m. and
each Thursday from 10 a. m. to
/ p. m.
In announcing this special series
of services and counselling, the
rector of st. Paul's states that he
believes this aspect of the church's
ministry is one that is sorely
needed by many people in these
difficult days. This specialized
ministry is open to all people, re-
gardless of denomination, who care
to avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity.

Absentee" Are
Big Problem On
Blood Donor Day

With the Red Cross Blood Donor
program here taking recess until
springtime, Mrs. Kenneth Watkins,
head of the project for East Cleve-
land, is issuing the following re-
port for the year just concluded:
Five hundred and thirty eight
pints of blood were obtained out
of a total registration of 728 DON
ors from the six units organized
during 1854.
Blood banks were established
in two churches, the First Church
of the Nazarene and the Winder-
mere Methodist Church.
-Nazarene Church reports two
members of the congregation in
need of transfusions received the
necessary replacement cards from
the pastor, the Rev. ]. E. HuntOn.
According to the Rev. NJ.
Wayne Mcqueen, minister of the
Windermere Methodist, his church
filled the need of three members.
Goal for '55 is a blood bank
in every church in the city.
Mrs. Watkins in her report draws
attention to zone regretable fact, "
the large number Of East Cleve-
landers who register as blood
donors but fail to keep their ap-
pointments. During the year a to-
tai of 202 persons registered but
never cancelled or appeared at the
unit.
"An appointment to give blood
is an obligation anu should be kept
as any other appointment, unless
it is absolutely impossible, stated
the chairman. "If an appointment
can not be kept, it should be can
celled, so that someone else may
be scheduled for that time. Every
failure to appear can mean one
pint of blood less when needed"

Local Center
Pays Blood
Program Cost

Mr.. Louis S. Bing, Chairman of
the Greater Cleveland Red Cross
Chapter, made the following state
ment today concerning the Red
Cross Blood Program:
"A press release from Washing
ton," D. c., dated October 28th,
states that the Red Cross is begin
ming to shift some of the cost of
processing and handling the blood
to participating hospitals.
"The Cleveland Regional Blood
Center of the American Red Cross,
however, is not planning to shift
any of these costs to hospitals,
emphasizes Mr.. Bing.
"In November, 1853, the Board
Of Governors of the American Red
Cross authorized Chapters on a
permissive basis to ask hospitals
to pay the cost of supplies used
in collecting and processing blood
which they receive from the Red
Cross and also the cost of deliver
ing the blood to the hospitals.
In Cuyahoga County these costs
would total about $1.50 per pint of
blood.
"On September 22nd, 1854, our
local Red Cross Chapter General
Board unanimously voted that the
Cleveland Regional Blood Center
would not ask hospitals to share
any of this expense. This action
has been confirmed by the Regional
Coordinating Committee of the
Cleveland Regional Blood Center,
representing % Chapters in the %
northern Ohio counties served by
the Center.
GAS result of this action hos
pitfalls in Cuyahoga County and the
other 21 counties will not be asked
to share any of the costs of the
Blood Program. The Red Cross
will continue to pay all the costs
of the Cleveland Regional Blood
Center"
Since opening it's doors three
years ago in the Greater Cleveland
Red Cross Chapter Headquarters,
1927 Prospect ave., the Cleveland
Regional Center has distributed
190,S37 pints of blood to civilian
hospitals without charge to hospi-
tails or patients for the blood.
