Atomic Gas Found in Water Key to Hydrogen Bombs Philadelphia —UB— Two scien tists have discovered in ordinary water the colorless gas known as tritium-=-key explosive for hydro gen bombs. A little tritium already has been made in American Atomic reactors and more is to be produced for H- bombs in reactors still to be built. The new water extration method of making tritium shows promise of two very practical uses-r-but it not expected to replace the reac tor system of tritipm manufacture. The principal reason for this is that—although reactor tritium today is said to cost a half bil lion dollars a pound—the water extraction appears to be both less productive and more expensive. The first anticipated use of the new water tritium is to discover the secret manufacture of H-bombs, In such work a very small amount of tritium spilled in water will spread widely and as a result of the newly-announced discovery may be detected easily. A single gram—one 27th of an ounce—dropped into the mighty Amazon River could be traced anywhere downstream and even far out in the Atlantic Ocean. The second practical use of the new detection method would come in tracing ocean currents right down to the bottom of the sea. Surface waters are known to con tain more tritium than very deep water. The tritium discoveries — an nounced at the Temple University Research Institute—were the work of W. F. Libby of the Institute of nuclear studies, University of Chi cago, and A. V. Grosse, of the Temple Institute. Night school classes in Shorthand, Typing and Bookkeeping will begin October 16 at 7 p.m. For further information call 3-6655. McivENZIE-BALDWIN BUSINESS COLLEGE 702 South Washington Avenue Bryan, Texas Tritium has been suspected in ordinary water for more than 20 years and have been partly iden tified by means of the spectro scope. The Libby-Grosse discovery was made by using a radioactive counter. Tritium atoms are radioactive. Tests showed that there are one to two thousand atoms of tritium in every drop of water—the water from your tap, the office drinking fountain, your bath. Several hundred tritium atoms explode in the human body every minute after being absorbed through food and drink. They do no harm, however, because it re quires millions of such explosions a second to have any effect on human tissue. Tritium is a triple weight form of hydrogen. There also is a double weight hydrogen known as deuter ium and the H-bomb is to be made of a combination of tritium and deuterium. Natural tritium is formed in the air by cosmic rays setting loose showers of neutrons which hit nitrogen atoms and convert them into tritium. Compare chesterfield WITH ANY OTHER CIGARETTE!

LEADING SELLER IN AMERICA’S COLLEGES IwowA tpUi, Directing Fight o o j Inchon, Korea, Sept. 19— I (TP)—There is a strange and | gratifying irony in Gen Mac- Arthur’s persona! leadership j of Allied landing forces in th"’ f?inashinpr offensive against the North Koreans. Once before, in the Philippines, VlacAi thur was beaten temporarily md then came back to lead a vast invasion force which, liberated the ’slnnds foi the Filipinos. Now, at the end of a desperate lolding campaign, he has returned „o another overrun country at the head of a powerful and confident force. Diving his front-line Inspection t ur Sunday the General took pro fessional interest in inspecting en- mny dead, He remarked upon the Rus'sianrstyle shou’-der tabs worn by some of the khaki uniformed bodies. One still had a Russian-made submachine gun slung across his shoulder. An office)’ picked • it up and blood dripped from the barrel. “It jammed on him,” the officer said. “Well, that’s a good gun,” Mac- Arthur replied. At an Inchon stockade Mac Ar thur gazed grimly at Communist prisoners. If any of them recog nized the General they hid their feelings. Capt. John Griffin of Vallejo, Calif., the stockade commander, said 20 per cent of the prisoners were believed to be South Koreans impressed into service. Inchon itself was in ruins. Vir tually every downtown building had been hit by heavy naval shell ing or aerial bombing and rocket attacks. The thunderous pre-in- v a s 1 o n bombardment doubtless saved numerous American lives when the landings took place. On the scarred flanks of Wolmi Islands, a knob of land dominating Inchon Harbor, a Russian 76mm Geld gun still stood. It looked as if it had just come from the fac tory. lation Rubber Supply Short Akron, O. — UP) — The nation’s present rubber supply position is much better than it was in 1940, according to figures compiled by the B. F. Goodrich Co. In 1940 the United States con sumed 650,000 tons of rubber, 97 per cent of which was imported from the Far East. At that time this .country had the capacity to produce only 4,500 tons of man made rubber of all types. Today the nation is consuming rubber at a rate of more than 1,000,000 tons a year but has facili ties for producing 940,000 tons of American rubber. Output of man made rubber will be at the rate of 740,000 tons early in 1951.

By TOM OCHILTREE AF Correspondent Lake Success, Sept. 19—UP)— Gen. Douglas MacArthur charged that Communist China provided a major share of the muscle of the North Korean army by swelling its ranks with 40,000 to 60,000 com bat-seasoned troops of Korean ori gin.

In his fourth report to the Uni ted Nations Security Council, Ma*- Arthur made it clear that this out side aid pumped up the striking power of the North Koreans to the point where they were able to launch their invasion of South Ko rea on June 25. The U. N. com mander pointed out, for example, that North Korea’s industry “is not capable of providing heavy equipment such as armor, tanks and artillery.” Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A, Malik tied the council up in a wrangle lasting more than two hours as he waged a losing fight to delay the reading of Mac- Arthur’s report. He finally was voted down 10 to one. ■+' At the end of the reading, U. S. delegate Warren R. Austin intro duced exhibits including a sub machine. Malik ducked out of the chamber then. Upon returning to the meeting Malik called MacArthur an “ob scurantist fascist” and said the general’s report was a “blood - * thirsty document trying to justify” American aggression in Korea. He accused the U. S. Air Force of attacking civilians and bombing h schools, hospitals and homes. Mal ik maintained that the Soviet Un ion sold weapons to the North Ko reans only when Russian troops withdrew in December 1948. Malik’s 22-minute speech was a reiteration of Communist claims that the United States is the ag gressor in Korea.—claims which have been completely rejected by, the non-Cotnmunist world. The council adjourned without fixing a date for its next meeting. Battalion CLASSIFIED ADS Page 6 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1950 JELL WITH A BATTALION CLASSIFIED AD.
