T, behind U.s." DR.. Teller says. aBut
we had no experience whatever
that would tell US whether or not
our assumptions and general
ideas had anything to do with
the behavior Of real objects.
Some of the first results obtained
from both hand and machine
calculations proved quite dis
couraging and 1t looked for o
time as if the H-bomb was an
impossibility."
Gradually. however, during
1850 and 1851. progress was
made to the point where q test
of some thermonuclear device
was essential. This was carried
out in the South Pacific in 1851.
Clue to Success.
It was not, however, an H
bomb per Sc that was exploded,
but merely a preliminary ap-
proach to one. The actual ex-
plosion proved to the scientists
that they at least were on the
right track, although an enor-
nous amount Of work still re-
manned.
What next?" DR.. Teller asks"
"The very size Of our progress
has opened up other dangers. We
may be led to think this ac-
complishment Is something ul-
innate. I do not believe that
this is so.
Where the next steps will
lead, I do not know. It is not
likely that it will be just bigger
bombs again. Great Develop
ments rarely go along straight
lines. But the skills and knowl-
edge that developed the A-bomb
and the H-bomb can undoubt-
edly be turned in new directions.
and we shall fail If we rest on
our accomplishments.
Il find myself unhappily in q
situation Of being given certainly
too much credit and perhaps too
much blame for what has hap
pened. But I feel that the hydro
gen bomb should not divide those
who in the past have argued
about it. Disunity of the SCI
entists is one Of the greatest
dangers Of our country"

Dr.. Teller Describes
Scientists Search for
Secret Of H-Bomb
By Thomas R. Henry

More than 20 Of the worlds
foremost scientists contributed
to the hydrogen bomb.
The inside story Of the long
and tenuous path leading to the
final success Of a test explosion
in the South Pacific Is described
for the first time in a report to
the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science here by
DR.. Edward Teller Of the Univer-
sity Of California.
DR.. Teller is generally credited
as being the father Of the H
bomb"-a reputation which. he
says, is quite undeserved.
The path from the beginning.
he says, was beset, by many fail
ures. many mistakes and many
sincere doubts in which he him
self often shared.

clio Board Approves
Merger With AFL
BY the Assoeiassd Press

The CIO executive board, with
representatives Of one union
vigorously dissenting, yesterday
approved the AFL-CIO merger
agreement. It calls for merger
into a single labor federation be-
fore the end Of the year.
Voting in opposition was the
Transport Workers Union. It's
president, Michael Quill, pro-
tested that the agreement con-
tanned absolutely no guarantee
to prevent cannibalism when we
get into the AFL."
Mr.. Quill shouted that CIO
unions would have no protec-
ton against "raiding" or at
tempts to seize their already Or
ganized members.
CIO President Walter Reuther
angrily disputed Mr.. Quilts con-
tention. Mr.. Reuther said the
merger arrangement was IAN
honorable one"
Reuther said he would meet to-
morrow with AFL President
George Meany to begin drafting
constitution, for the proposed
new federation.

time before work on the atomil
bomb actually began. Its poten'
tialities had been forecast. Botf
DR.. Teller and the late DR.. En-.
rico Fermi had discussed thi
possibility that the heat pro,
duced might be enough to result
in hydrogen fusion.
Among First Objectives.
So when Los Alamos wal
opened early in the war. a fusior
bomb was among its objectives
However, the haste necessar,
turned all attention to the sim.
pier fission bomb, the construc.
ton of which proved consider
ably more difficult than had beer
expected.
Two men primarily kept In
terest alive during this time
DR.. Emil Konopinski of the Uni
versity of Chicago and DR.. Hans
Bethe Of Cornell. The latter was
the author Of the current theory
of the suns heat mechanism. DR..
Konopinski was the first to pro-
pose the use of tritium, or triple
hydrogen. which finally proved
the correct way, DR.. Teller says.
DR.. Robert Oppenheimer. di-
rector Of Los Alamos. continued
to urge DR.. Teller. DR.. Bethe and
a few others to devote major
efforts to the H-bornb problem.
despite the urgency Of producing
the simpler A-bomb. This they
did reluctantly. but DR.. Open
heimer kept pressing them, DR..
Teller says.
iii Feeling Denied.
DR. Oppenheimer since has
been credited with opposition to
the H-bomb, and there have been
reports of i'll feeling between him
and DR.. Teller because of it.
This the report denies.
Less than a year ago DR.. Teller
testified at an Atomic Energy
Commission hearing that DR..
Oppenheimer, after the A-bomb
was completed. "acted in q way
which was for me exceedingly
hard to understand"
At that time. DR.. Teller said
he preferred to see "the vital
interests Of this country in hands
which I understand better and
therefore trust more"
DR.. Oppenheimer had been
accused by others Of associating
with Communists. As the result
of the hearing. the Acc can
celed DR.. Oppenheimer's security
clearance and denied him access
to any further secret material
because of fundamental defects
in his character"
There were, DR.. Teller says,
two major considerations. One

Opposing Wiinesse,
Link Judge Harlan
To Atlantic Union
By jones Y. Newton

Federal Judge John Marshall
Harlan's nomination to the Su-
preme Court was attacked today
by three witnesses on the basis
of his alleged connection with
the Atlantic Union movement.
One of the witnesses before the
Senate Judiciary Committee
George Racey Jordan Of New
York, produced letter at the
closed hearing stating that Judge
Harlan. 54-year-old member oi
the U. S. Court of Appeals In
New York, Is a member of the
National Advisory Council Of the
Atlantic Union Committee.
The Atlantic Union COMMITTEES
Is made up of people interested
in bringing about closer ties
among North Atlantic nations
Its membership includes such
well known persons as President
Eisenhower's brother, DR.. Milton
Eisenhower, president of Penn
State University.
The other two witnesses were
Harry F. Klinefelter, Baltimore
insurance man. and Mrs. Ernest
w. Howard, legislative represent
ative of the Wheel of Progress.
Hearing Ends Today.
After the three had testified,
Committee Chairman Kilgore OF
West Virginia announced that
Judge Harlan would be heard
this afternoon. That. the chair
man said. would wind up the
hearing except for the posi-
bility that the committee might
call one other witness.
Senator Kilgore said he hoped
the committee would be able to
vote on the Harlan nomination
next week. He was one Of three
Senators who said earlier they
had found nothing in the hear
ing that would tend to bar
Judge Harlan from service on
the Supreme Court.
There was, however, some
committee opposition to Judge
Harlan. Senator Welker, Re-
publican, of Idaho told a re-
porter he wouldn't make up his
mind in the matter 'tuntil all

He rode his first mount in a race in

What makes him such good rider?
Well, like most top jockeys, Willie
is a good Judge of pace, he knows his

he gets the most out of his horse. But
Willie has something else going for
