Beatrice, Sept. 5, 1845 BEATRICE SUN The Story Of The Atom (1) Crew members of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima were not' too sure of their own safety. Even at a very high altitude their plane might have been blasted out of the sky. To give the plane a chance to travel a safe distance, -the bomb was attached to a parachute to let it down slowly. The bomb was timed so that it would release its blast before it reached the ground.

(2) What was the material of the atomic bomb? Scientists called it U-235. This means uranium, one of the heavi- est of metals, with an atomic weight of 235, which means it is approximately 235 times heavier than hydrogen. In the explosion, much of the substance of the metal vanished. Matter was turned into energy. This is the secret of atomic power.

In the bomb, neutrons were fired at the hearts of uranium atoms. Neutrons are subatomic particles without electric charge. As a neutron hits a uranium atom, the atom breaks in two. Each atom gives off at least two more neutrons. These two neutrons hit two more atoms, breaking them in two and giving off four neutrons.

The four break up four atoms, releasing eight neutrons. The process is shown in the diagram above. The neutrons travel at a rate of about 20,000 miles a second, so the whole process takes an infinitely short time. Each atomic fragment had a field of force around it extending for a great distance. During an infinitesimal time, the rate of the explosion increases with great rapidity and thus is compounded into terrific force.

(3) Although the explosive material in the bomb is believed to have weighed only a few pounds, the entire bomb weighed much more than this, with its complicated mechanism, to set it off. How the bomb actually worked is the Arrays' most carefully guarded secret. It was the product of a five-year cooperative effort of more than 200 outstanding scientists. It was the weapon that broke the back of the Japanese effort to dominate the world and brought peace after the greatest war in history. It is a weapon which the United States hopes can preserve peace.

Airmail Revenue To Help Small Airports By Douglas Larsen NBA Staff Correspondent day in May, 1918, former Sen. William H. King from Utah rose from his seat in the upper chamber and said: "I notice that the appropriation just read px'ovides for carrying of mail by airplane It seems to me that at this time, in view of the unstable condition of aeronautics, it is a visionary, Utopian and absurd plan to utilize aircraft in transmitting mail matter Sen. Kenneth McKellar, now president of the Senate, answered Senator King: "It may be that the money may not bring full results the year or even the third year, but the time will come When the results will be shown by reason of these experiments." Plan Expansion Now, 27 years later, a committee of the Senate has given serious consideration to a plan which which would bring air mail service and air passenger service to every city, town and hamlet in the United States. At present only about one-quarter of the population in the U.

S. has access to direct air mail or air passenger service. The plan presented to Congress provides for Federal aid to smaller communities for building airports. This would bring air mail and passenger service to the rest of the nation. There is much evidence that it is a practical plan and would be profitable to the community and Federal government alike.

In spite of the demand for air- SENATOR IWKELLAR'S Airmail Revenue: ftps Airlines 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 Air mail revenues, up 57.8 per cent over last year, now show a profit to the Post Office plane facilities to work directly for the war effort, air mail poundage has skyrocketed in the last few years. Officials believe this trend will result in fulfillment of the proposed small-air-port plan. For the 12 months ended March 31, total air mail pound miles car- ried reached 112,297,993,501 miles. For the previous 12 months it was 78,148,360,500 pound miles. Total air mail carried during March of 1945 was 57-8 per cent above March of 1944.

These are government figures reported by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce. U. S. production of 100-octane aviation gasoline during 194.4 averaged 390,000 ban-els a day. At the end of the war, production reached 500,000 barrels daily.

We speak of our South American neighbors, yet by modern air routes we are nearer to Moscow than we are to some South American cities.
