H-bomb Is Safe With Scientists Maloney Says
The world will not be blown up by scientists experimenting with the H-bomb, Dr. James O. Maloney, chairman of the chemical engineering department, said at the seventh "Atomic Energy and Man" lecture Thursday.
Explaining his reasons for believing that the H-bomb will work, Dr. Maloney said, "Scientists are usually successful and their failures are relatively small. These H-bomb scientists want to remain alive as we do, so one can be certain that they will make no mistake.
"If a scientist is proficient and has a responsibility to society, then in accepting this responsibility, that scientist should be allowed scientific freedom. A free scientist can discover and perfect great benefits for the future."
He said that there is a direct relationship between atomic energy experts and politics. Too many congressmen seem to follow the party line in passing down decisions during senate investigations.
He explained that a deficiency in training scientists in a democracy may be the cause of treason. Russia trains its people in Communistic ideals, while Americans are often lax in teaching the fundamentals of democracy to Americans.
In explaining fissionable materials as a source of energy, Dr. Maloney said, "The turbojets and submarines offer great possibilities, but there are many disadvantages in other types of stationary and mobile power plants."
It may be possible for a submarine to cruise under water for such long periods that it would become a psychological factor as to how long the men could stand being under the water, he said.
Dr. Maloney, who was associated with the atomic bomb project through the metallurgical laboratory of the University of Chicago, explained how radioactive tracers are being used by engineers to determine degree and rate of corrosion, bearing wear, fluid flow and diffusion. A thin coat of radioactive material placed on a bearing to be tested would be deposited in the oil from the bearing. An analysis of the bearing oil could determine the time for a bearing replacement.
Betty Hayward To Give Recital
The next "Atomic Energy and Man" lecture will be delivered at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 6, by Dr Joseph W. Kennedy, chairman of the chemistry department, Washington university, St. Louis. He is accredited as being one of the codiscoverers of plutonium.
Betty Hayward, fine arts senior,
will give a voice recital at 4 p.m.
Sunday in Strong auditorium.
She is the student of Miss Irene Peabody, associate professor of voice. Miss Hayward has been a member of the K.U. A Capella choir for four years and in the Women's Glee club for one year. She participated in the K.U. Light Opera guild's presentation of "The Gondoliers" and "Sweethearts."
Miss Haywards program will include early English and Italian numbers, a group of German works by Schubert, Wolf, and Brahms, and French songs from Debussy. Chausson, Massenet, and Milhaud. She will close her program with modern English and American songs, including one composed by her accompanist, Willard Straight, fine arts junior.

Spanish Film Shown Tonight

The movie tells the humorous story of a would-be knight, Don Quixote, and his pseudo-scholastic squire, Sancho, as they perform chivalrous deeds. The movie reflects primarily Cervante's jibes at 16th century chivalry.
The movie stars Rafael Rivelles as Don Quixote, and Juan Calvo as Sancho.
Only one more movie remains in this semester's series after today's showing. There is no admission charge for the movies.
