The Ultimate Is Not Yet

In his long and Illuminating article in
Science DR.. Edward Teller-besides making
clear that many others besides himself are
to be credited with the development of the
hydrogen bomb-haS issued a significant
and timely warning to the Nation. The
warning is this: That "the world is full
of surprises" and that nobody can safely
assume that our nuclear and thermonuclear
progress to date has been so great that there
is no possibility of revolutionary new ad-
vances in the same field.
DR.. Teller, for his own part, feels that
it would be perilous to ignore such posi-
bility. AS he has put 1t, What next? The
very size of our progress has opened up other
dangers. We may be led to think that this
accomplishment is something ultimate
that it is the last word on the subject; that
it is the limit of what can be done with
nuclear and thermonuclear research and
development; that it is the experimental
fruit squeezed completely dry; that it Is the
end, not the beginning or the middle point,
of productive exploration along this par
ticular frontier Of human knowledge.
But DR.. Teller-like most, If not all,
Of his colleagues-believes otherwise. AL
though he does not know what the prospec-
tive progress will produce, and although he
doubts that "it will be just bigger bombs
again." he obviously is convinced that what
has been achieved up to now will lead, step
by step to additional and possibly even more
spectacular achievements. And his ex-
pectations in that,respect are certainly JUS
titled by past scientific experience. Nor is
there any solid ground on which to challenge
his assertion that even though great devel-
opments rarely go along straight lines, "the
skillS and knowledge that developed the
A-bomb and the H-bomb can undoubtedly
be turned in new directions, and we shall
fail If we rest on our accomplishments"
When he says this, DR.. Teller does not
necessarily mean that all further nuclear
and thermonuclear advances will be ex-
clusively military. New weapons-such as
nonexploSive but superdeadly radioactive
duStS, mists and clouds, or atomic hydrogen
warheads for intercontinental guided mis-
siles-are among the probabilities, of course,
and some of them may in fact be here even
now. Beyond that, however, there is also
reason to anticipate great developments of
wholly benef1cent kind It is not incon-
ceivable, for example, that by learning more
and more about the f1ssion and fusion of A
and H bombs-which are akin to the sun
itSelf-science will one day be able to har-
ness solar energy in way that will supply
man with limitless food and industrial
power.
In sum, the A-bomb and the H-bomb
do not mark real termination of work on
the heart of the atom. The tree of the
knowledge of good and evil may be ex-
haustible, but 1t still has fruit to yield,
probably a great deal of fruit, and some
Of 1t can be as terribly lethal as some of
it can be. wondrously benign. And that is
why we cannot be content with what we
have plucked from it up to this point. For
the ultimate" is not yet, as DR.. Teller has
warned, and in view Of what the Russians
are doing, American complacency would be
the worst sort Of folly.

Prelate Lauds
Mrs. Luce For
Work Ina Italv

TORONTO - (NC) - A large
share of credit in the postwar re-
covery of Italy was given to Mrs.
Clare Boothe Luce. U. S. Ambas-
sador to Italy, by His Eminence
James Cardinal McGuigan, Arch
bishop of Toronto.
The Cardinal paid his tribute to
Mrs. Luce in a statement issued
here after his return from his ad
limina visit to the Holy See.
The settlement of Trieste has
helped greatly" the Cardinal said,
"and great credit is given by
those whom ! met to Ambassador
Luce of the United States"
The Cardinal described Italy's
Prime Minister Scelba as "a strong
man doing his very best under
most difficult circumstances" He
praised the Italian people and said
that everywhere in Italy, especially
in Rome, the Holy Father is the
central figure and is ''loyed with
that deep and devoted affection
which characterizeS the people of
Italy - the kindest, the most cour-
teous and, when they espouse a
cause, the most ardently devoted
people in the world"

Cleanup Seen
In Comics Due
To Campaign

NEW YORK - (NC) = The
comic book industry'S cleanup
of its own wares has resulted
in changes in 5,656 drawings
and outright rejection of 126
stories, Charles F. Murphy, ad-
miniStrator of the comic code
authority, said here.
Mr.. Murphy said the drawings
and stories were part of 440 maga-
zines slated for publication early
in 1855. He said comic books found
suitable for distribution will be
stamped by late February with a
seal of approval in the upper right
hand corner.
The seal of the Comic Maga-
= Eines Association will be square
black and white block declaring
thar ths comic book is approved
by the Comics Code Authority"
There are legitimate differences
of opinio. on the correct interpre-
tation of the code" Mr.. Murphy
said. "You may or may not agree
with me on the decisions / have
made, but | want to assure you that
in every case I have acted in good
conscience in interpreting and en-
forcing the standard established for
the comic books industry" he
added.

Early Release
OF Red-Held
Priest Seen

HONG KONG = CNC) -
There is speculation here that
the Chinese communists are
ready to release an American
priest held in Jail for four and
a half years.
The belief is that the Reds
may release the priest, Father
Harold w. Rigney. S.V.D.. of Chi
cago. during the scheduled visit to
Peking of Dag Hammarskiold
United Nations secretary general
He is visiting the Chinese com
munist capital to negotiate the re.
lease of American fliers captured
while on a United Nations mission
and sentenced by the Reds.
The speculation that the Reds
are ready to release Father Rig
ney is based on a report brought
here by Mssr. Tarcisio Martina,
68-year-oid ltalian-born Prefect
Apostolic of Yihsien, China. The
missionary was sentenced TO life
Imprisonment on May II, 1851,
for alleged espionage. He has
been freed by The Reds and ex-
PEELED from the country.
MOnsignor Martina spent the last
four months in the same Pekins
prison as Father Rigney, but was
unable to communicate with the
American priest. However, the
Italian missionary found out that
Father Rigney received a number
of forms to fill out in mid-Decem
Der. This is considered a prelude
to his release.
Monsignor Martina was arrest
ed while staying at the former
Apostolic Delegation in Peking.
He took up residence there when
the Reds chased him from his
prefecture in Hopeh province.
He was sentenced in connection
with an alleged plot to asssssi-
nate Red chieffain Mao Tse
TUns. Two others sIIegedlY in
volved in the plot, Italia Antonio
Riva and Japanese Rinicki Yams-
gUchi, were sentenced to death
and executed.
The Italian missionary's ankles
were chained for four months af-
ter his Imprisonment. He was as
signed in May, 1852, to a forced
labor group making matchboxes.
He continued making matchboxes
until his expulsion. He described
the prison food as coarse but suf-
ficient.

American imperialists and their
henchmen such as the Ngo Dinh

Hos attack on the "imperialists'

Christmas message attributed to
several priests.

message stated. "He loudly repri-
