H-boInb Study
Gain Reported
By the Associated Press

A possible breakthrough in
the search for a way to harness
an H-bomb reaction for peace
full purposes has been reported
by the Naval Research Lab
oratory.
DR.. w. r. Faust. who
described the work last night,
was cautious In appraising it.
but he did say it was a step
forward.
The problem in Harvesting
the H-bomb reaction comes in
heating heavy hydrogen gas to
q tremendous temperature
in this case % million degrees
until its atoms fuse and re-
lease energy. and then contain
ing the gas long enough tor the
fusion to take place.
DR.. Faust said DR.. Alan
Kolb succeeded in containing
the gas longer than previously
reported for such a high den-
sity gas.
DR.. Kolb's experiments also
indicated the radioactive neu-
irons observed were of a true
thermometer type. showing
a sustained fusion reaction
may have taken place.
DR.. Kolb is to make a formal
report on his work today at
a scientific meeting in Stock
holm, Sweden.
DR.. Faust said the work ap-
pears to open the way for ex-
periments with larger devices
than the one DR.. Kolb used.
The Kolb experiment in es-
sence involved heating the
heavy hydrogen and then fur
ther heating 1t to a critical
point by squeezing it in a mag
netic field, or what amounts
to a magnetic bottle.

Senator Johnston, Democrat

ator Hennings' move a "viola-
ton Of the organized proceed

would fight fire with fire."
Suiting action to words.
Senator Johnston offered an
amendment to require jury
trials for any contempt case
arising from civil rights action.
This has been a Southern tao

The reasoning is that juries

Southern Senators have
given notice they will fight
staunchly against a strong
civil rights bill that has been
grated onto another bill to get
1t past a committee roadblock.
Senator Hennings. Demo-
crat of Missouri. introduced his
eight-point bill yesterday as an
amendment to a Senate bill or
an entirely different subject.
Southern Senators have tied
up a much more moderate civil
rights bill in the Judiciary
Committee. Senator Hennings
is a member of the committee
but it is controlled by Chair
man Eastland. Democrat of
Mississippi, and other South
ems.
Senator Hennings' move
brought immediate opposition
