McMahon Says Atom Output Could Be Increased 150%
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. Brien McMahon (D.-Conn.), said he has been informed by the Atomic Energy commission that atomic productive capacity could be increased 150 per cent with "the necessary money and priorities."
McMahon, chairman of the joint congressional committee on atomic energy, said this view was confirmed by AFC. Chairman Gordon Dean.
McMahon added that the 150 per cent expansion over present and planned capacity "is not the ceiling" but is considered "practical" at this time.
The senator disclosed that the committee intends to hear testimony soon from the secretaries of Army, Navy, and Air Force about his resolution calling for all-out production of atomic weapons.
The three defense leaders, he said,
will present "the thinking of their
departments as to past, present, and
future uses of atomic energy."
McMahon said that his resolution
"The construction cost of increasing by 50 per cent, increasing by 100 per cent, and increasing by 150 per cent the nation's existing and presently planned capacity for producing atomic materials."
He said he first brought up the question of the expansion of atomic production capacity in a letter to the commission in June asking for these three estimates:
Mysterious Uranium Taken As 'Souvenir' Of Los Alamos
The commission, he said, "replied by letter that each range of expansion—by 50 per cent, by 100 per cent, and by 150 per cent—is practical, given the necessary money and priorities.
also was discussed at the committee meeting Monday morning.
Washington—(U.P.)—The two chunks of uranium found at Dalhart, Texas, were taken as "suvenirs" from Los Alamos, N.M., six years ago, according to Chairman Brien McMahon of the joint congressional atomic energy committee.
The Connecticut Democrat said the uranium was taken while the Army had control of atomic materials.
The chunks are made of ordinary uranium, not refined to the point where it could be used in a bomb, McMahon said. I am informed further that accountability for materials during the hectic wartime period was on a ton-lot basis. Today, of course, the atomic energy commission accounts for materials on the basis of tiny fractions of a pound.
The Army records covering the period when the uranium chunks were removed have been over to the commission, which took charge in January, 1947. I have therefore asked the commission to make public a statement of the facts so far as can be determined from Army records and so far as security permits.
Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, who commanded the Manhattan atom bomb project during World War II, said he had no idea how the uranium got from Los Alamos to Dalhart.
A. E.C. officials refused to comment on the uranium specimens except to say that the chuncks were pure uranium. According to atomic experts, pure uranium is as harmless as lead, although it sparks when scratched and glows in the dark.
The first piece of uranium was found at Dalhart, a town near the Texas-New Mexico border, more than three months ago by three Dalhart boys. It was partly buried in the earth near a highway. F.B.I. agents found the second and heavier chunk in a Dalhart scrap heap. The A.E.C. now has both specimens.

Parkersburg, W. Va. (U.P.)—City officials don't believe they are hiding any skeletons in their closets but they can't be too sure.
Lost Combination Baffles Officials
A large wall safe at the city hall hasn't been opened since the present administration came into office. So far, no one has been able to find out what the combination is.
"I've been here for four years and have never seen the inside of it," said Councilman Glenn Alleman, whose office contains the safe. Mayor Golden Underwood admitted he was baffled, too.
Kuffs To Boost Team Saturday
Before each home game Kuff members meet at the Community building where they hear a guest speaker, either a sports announcer, editor, or an athlete, who speaks on some phase of football. A special ticket admits the Kuffs to four games and entitles them to sit in a reserved section for $1.
Some of the loudest cheers for the Jayhawker football team at Saturday's game with Iowa State will rise from section GG where approximately 400 members of the "Kuff" will be seated.
The Kuffs (K.U. Future Football Fans) are Lawrence children enrolled in grades four through eleven who are undergoing a special football comprehension program.
Team rosters are distributed at the Saturday session as well as mimeographed literature concerning the players and information regarding the game of the day. K.U. cheerleaders are on hand to teach and lead the youngsters in the school vells.
Sponsors of the Kuffs are the University athletic department, the city Recreation department and the Sports committee of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

Wisconsin Clubs Want MacArthur
Milwaukee—(U.R.)-Two Wisconsin clubs are working to make Gen. Douglas MacArthur president in 1952, it was announced today.
One was organized by Lansing Hoyt, Milwaukee, president of a national "MacArthur for President" club in 1948, and the other by John Chapple, editor of the Ashland Press.
Hoyt's group will seek to enter the general's name in the Wisconsin presidential primary April 1, 1952, and Chapple said his organization, the "Fighters for MacArthur" will try to "draft" MacArthur for the G.O.P. presidential nomination.

Chest x-rays for faculty members, foodhandlers, housemothers, dietitians and councilors will begin Friday at Watkins Memorial hospital and continue through the following week.
Chest X-Rays Begin Friday
This annual health service, which discovers an average of one tubercular case each year, is for the protection of students.
Boston Artist Appeals
Wichita, Kan. — (U.P.)—Ernest Aspinwall, 42, a Boston artist who was sentenced here to a life term, last March 26, as an habitual criminal, filed notice of appeal to the Kansas Supreme court yesterday.
Average Student Will Be Afflicted With Two Or More Colds This Year
Aspinwall was found guilty by a jury of kidnapping and robbing Cecil D. Miller, a Wichita cab driver, in October, 1940.
The average University student has two or three colds each year. Some have as many as six colds.
Watkins hospital authorities report 30 to 40 cases daily. Last March 316 patients were treated for this disease.
Changes in climate, groups of persons in close quarters, and fatigue prepare the way for this infection.
There are more colds on Monday morning than on Friday and more after vacation than before. After semester tests colds increase. This is probably due to little sleep and low resistance of the individual.
Manslaughter Charges For Okla, Truck Driver
Despite the anti-histamines, cold tablets, vitamins, and other drugs, doctors say the best cure for a cold is rest.
To stop that cold which hangs on, to safeguard yourself from pneumonia, and to protect your roommate, when you have a cold—spend the day in bed.
Hays, Kan.—(U.P.)—A 24-year-old truck driver, Melvin A. Long of Maud, Okla., faced fourth degree manslaughter charges today in connection with a fatal traffic accident.
L. P. Johnson, 43, Garden City, driver of the car, was killed. A passenger, ten-year-old Bobby Thompson, was injured seriously.
Charges were filed yesterday after a coroner's inquest ruled that Long's truck was on the wrong side of highway 183, five miles north of Hays, when it collided with an automobile Sunday.
