Four U. S. Clergymen Enroute To Tokyo Tokyo. July 19—(UP>— Four Americas clergymen, representing Jewish, Roman Catholic and Protestant faiths, were scheduled to arrive here by plane today to meet with military chaplains and conduct spiritual conferences and devotional exercises. The clergymen are the Rev Leo Jung of the Jewish Center congre gallon. New York City; the Rev Matthew Miller, Catholic repre tentative from Boston; the Rev J. Warren Hastings, Disciple of Christ, Washington; and the Rev 0. P. Krestsmann. president of the University of Valparaiso. Ind. lion statistics and how they can damage the Democratic party. William O'Dwyer, Democrat, was elected mayor ot New York In 1945 with the support of the American Labor party. The ALP rolled up 257,000 votes for O’Dwyer and the Democrats gave him M 7.000 more for a total of approximately 1,124,000. Two other candidates polled an aggregate of 540,000 votes. As the mayoralty contest now shapes up. the forces behind those two other candidates will be behind a single starter next November. That may make it a horse race be cause O’Dwyer will not have the ALP votes to push him far out In front. Wallace's candidacy could be deadly to the Democratic senatorial nominee. He put the squeeze on Mr. Truman in the 1948 presidential election with a third party candidacy. New York state returns from last year’s Truman-Dewey contest suggest that if Wallace had not been a third candidate, New York would have cast Its electoral vote for the president.

Claims British Able To Manufacture Atom Bomb

(Editor's Note: Britain could turn out an atom bomb, the best available sources in London say What the British are doing In that line is explained in the following dispatch, of particular interest in the light ot a recent super-secret conference at Washington, which touched off speculation that Britain had asked the United States for some kind of additional information in the atomic field .) BY ROBERT MUBEL London, July 19-fUPl—Britain has reached a point in atomic research where she could produce an atom bomb if she decided to con centrate on the problem, informed sources said today. So far as Is known, however. Britain has not yet made such a momentous decision. Almost certainly she will not do so until no hope remains of getting the knowhow from the United States. Discussion of British atomic research Is not encouraged here at any time. That is particularly true at the moment, when everyone wants to avoid anything that might be construed as involvement in the situation created by President Truman's secret conference last Thursday night. Thus there is considerable soft pedaling of such items as the fact that the Belgian Congo mines, which produce the best uranium for atom bombs, are British own ed. And that the American contracts for the supply of this uranium expire this year. Nor has there been any comment on dispatches to British newspapers, notably the Manchester Guardian, suggesting that Brit ain may have presented the United States with the delicate problem of yielding some of her atomic secrets or face possible loss of this most precious source of uranium ores. British progress in atomic research. while slow, has been satisfactory to those entrusted with it. British scientists are not peg-

simlstlc about their chances of catching up with American discoveries if they decide to switch their main emphasis from atomic energy for peacefuF uses to atomic explosives. Britain started her first atomic pile at Harwell in Berkshire in August, 1947. By March, 1948 she had become the first country in the world outside the United States to produce plutonium. Britain opened her second atomic pile in July. 1948. and a third has gone Into production since then. An atomic scientist explained that the Harwell pile has a power ot 6,000 kilowatts a day. It takes 500,000 kilowatts to produce one pound of plutonium, he added. “It is simple to calculate that Harwell can produce one pound of plutonium every 80 days,” he said. “Now all you've got to do is figure out how many pounds of putonluin you need for an atomic bomb. The scientist pointed out that Prof. John Cockcroft. In charge of the British atomic energy project, formerly was in command of the Canadian Chalk river project, and that several British scientists went to tbe United States early in the war to hand over British technical knowledge. The assumption is that the com bined knowledge of those scientists readily could bridge the GAP from production of plutonium to actual construction of the bomb. The British are reluctant to turn to actual production of atomic war materials. In fact. Prof, croft is said to have stipulated when he took the job that he would not make an atom bomb. But it is known that Britain's back room wartime radar scientists are working on the development of new types of machines for producing high speed particles. And British naval scientists now are bombarding the cruiser Arethusa with gamma rays to study the effect of radiation on the warships of the future.
