sdid, “Am one admiral put it,
‘We'll go along with a push-hut-
ton war; we've got the button.’ ”
The atomic bomb Is. actually
between those two extremes, he
' added.! ;' ' ' [ ; .
In discussing the possibilities of
atomic energy in industry, he
pointed out the various technical
difficulties. “We have to perfect
a mechanism which will take heat
in here and let it come out here
cold with all the energy used in
between,” he said.
lln addition to having too low
melting points, the carbons in the
metals absorb neutrons. “If you
remove the carbon, the metal isn’t
resistant enough to heat,” he ?aid.
He also mentioned the highly
radio-active refuse or “garbage”
which would result from com
mercial use of atomic materials.
Thick concrete shieldings or met
al filings would be necessary
to prevent harm to operators.
In explaining a use of the new
science in medicine, he said that
salt water and radio active sodium
could be given to a person anJ ihe
physician could tell how far cir
culation extended into the limbs
of the body. This information is
valuable when ah arm or leg was
being amputated, he concluded.

through forests and oveT'moun

their reckless steeds,, to plant the
Russian flag over new boundaries,
the members of the Dow Cossack
chorus were first organized as a
musical unit in the notorious
“Camp of 1 Death” at, Tehelengir.
They were taken to this ctimp af

The Don Cossacks (so called be
cause they come from that part of
JtURsia through which the River
Dan flows) offered the- lust re
sistance to the Red Army, After
being Raptured and imprisoned,
they sought to forget the miseries
of a prisoner’s life by gathering at
night about the open campfire and
singing their songs of the “home-
