S. ——« Austin, Tex., Oct. 15.—J. H. Rush, secretary of the Assn, of Oak Ridge Scientists at Clinton Laboratories, is visiting old schoolmates and profes sors at the University of Texas to tell them his deep conviction that the secret of the atomic bomb cannot be kept in the U. S. A. His argument runs like this: “We can expect no enduring mon opoly of the atomic bomb. Other sci entists can apply the fundamental principles, perhaps more successfully than we have. Our work was costly because it was handicapped by the necessity for basing major decisions on largely theoretical predictions. The question of success now has been answered, other countries know that they can produce such bombs with out any deatiled technical informa tion from . ... ’ He and his associates, Rush con tinued, consider a defense against this bomb impossible. He pointed out that military defense consists of interception, and that a 90 per cent interception is considered good. “Yet, if interception misses one bomb, there’s no more interception,” he said. Then he noted the possibility that atomic mines, in ordinary trunks, could be smuggled into the U. S. A. and planted under every city, to be set off by agents or by radio at the given moment. “Any time you start an arms race with atomic power, we all lose," Rush insisted. “Our industrial super iority is no good. What difference does it make if we have the best atomic bomb, so long as an enemy has an atomic bomb. And it doesn't matter if we have 10,000 atomic bombs, if an enemy has 100 and the inclination to use them first.” The thesis of the Oak Ridge sci entists, who have had two years long er to think over the problem than the rest of us have, is this, according to Rush: "We believe that there is only one way open to us as a Nation. Every effort must be made immediately to arrange for the control of this weap on by a world authority which can exercise complete and effective con trol of the production of the essen tial materials and of their use in every country.” The origin of this thesis is a story, too. Rush says: "When we’d have time to talk at Oak Ridge, we’d talk about what to do with this thing we were inventing. We argued pro and con, and this is the conclusion we reached. And we learned later that at the University of Chicago and at Los Alamos, N. M., the same talks were going on. And the conclusions reached by the sci entists on those projects are the same we reached: That this secret can’t be kept except by an international organization.” Lumber To Continue Under Price Control -(» Raleigh—The lifting of building controls by the War Production Board, effective October 15, does not mean that OPA price controls have been removed. “Price controls on lumber and other building materials are still in effect and will remain so,” OPA de clared. OPA brought out the fact that in flationary pressures are still strong in the building materials field and emphasized that OPA was determin ed to resist them until supply comes into balance with demand. -■» Brenda Perry, Eight Months Old, Dies Near Jamesville -# Brenda Perry, eight months old, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.

Approximately that number has been sold or will be sold shortly according to the contract guarantee made by the Lions Club last Thurs day evening. The company has submitted three proposals in connection with the con struction and operation of the plant. The company will build and operate the plant outright, or it will sell stock to interested persons.

It is pos sible that local people will want shares in the company plant here, and stock will be offered at a meet ing to be held in the agricultural building tomorrow evening at li o’clock. Interested parties are invit ed to attend the meeting. Unless some unforeseen obstacle is encountered, the promoters plan to choose a site at once and work for the completion of the structure by early spring.
