Raps Speculation On A-Bomb Secrets Commissioner Pike Assails 'Experts' Washington. April 18 —(UP) - A survey of atomic bomb ‘’disclosures” disclosed today that the axplosive core of that confusing weapon is the size of a pea, or a golf ball. Or an indore baseball. Or a grapefruit, pink. If you think that sounds silly, I atomic commissioner Eumner T. Pike agrees with you. In Boston the other night and again here today Pike said he coudn’t see any point to speculation on this and other atomic matters which are state secrets. If a person really knew the size and weight of the bomb’s explosive insides, or such things as the rate of bomb production and the size of the atomic stockpile — if a fellow really did know, and told, he’d be i rushed off to jail awfully quick, Pike said. The law against telling atomic se- 1 crets. he added, "is a mighty tough law." For one thing, it provides the death penalty for anyone who spills atomic secrets with a viei\ to help- ] ing the enemy. The kind bf speculation Pike deplores most is that which claims to be factual. Its authors always disclaim any official knowledge and the legal Jeopardy that would go with it. But they usually assert that j “any scientist” can figure out all 1 anybody might want to know about : the bomb merely by studying the ’ official Smyth report. But the Smyth report, published by the army in 1945 after the Abombing of Japan, doesn’t purport j to tell even scientists how to make atomic weapons. Moreover, it gives j a truth-concealing range of 2.2 to \ 220 pounds for the bomb's nuclear ' ingredients. Subsequently some British slide rule experts claimed they had narrowed the range to around 20 to 60 pounds. Earlier, an American had flatly stated the bomb’s explosive was no larger than a pea, the brand unspecified. A while back an air force officer ■ lecturing on the west toast "disclosed” that the bomb-core really Is the size of a golf ball. His “disclosure" was followed within a few weteks by another, equally authoritative on the surface, increasing the size to that of an indoor baseball and giving the weight as 20 to ' 30 pounds. In a later estimate from another I source, as unofficial as the others, ‘ I the indoor baseball had become a i softball and the‘weight had become ; fixed at 30 pounds. ; A local scientist "calculated" that I the bomb core weighs 20 to 40 pounds and has about the volume of a grapefruit. “Not a big yellow grapfruit,” he said. "A pink grapefruit." If these people really knew what they were talking about, they would go to prison for talking about it. That being the case, Pike's verdict is that “they are just putting i out a lot of guesses — guesses a ; hundred million other people have ' as much right to make as they ! have." Pike said some speculation might. be sinisterly designed to “tease out" the real facts from the commission. He feels that a lot of it, though, stems from a desire to impress people. “You know," Pike said. "The desire to say ‘look. I'm a big shot, I know al) about it.” When one strips himself of all convictions about the future, he stops living altoge;her. — Fosdick.
