‘Food Crisis |

PARIS, Jan, 8—Harassed by bread rationing, threatened with a dearth of meat and a thousand and one other material discomforts, the French man-in-the-street is today loudly accusing his government of inefficiency and autocracy. The ranks of government critics formerly limited to a few , disgruntled groups of so-called Vichyites are daily being swelled by numerous genuine De Gaullists | who now loudly decry Charles De Gaulle’s administration for its inability to provide better food supplies and more fuel for France's starving, freezing citizenry. Furthermore, Frenchmen who six months ago were universally proud of France's independent diplomacy, now question De Gaulle’s foreign policy, which often opposes France to the United States and Britain. The question paramount in the mind of the man in the street, at the moment, seems to be, has France been right to try to solve, _ unaided, its numerous domestic difficulties?

Crisis in Meat LIBERTY-LOVING Frenchmen feel, too that

their freedom is being curtailed by the multitude of

TWO GREAT building ventures are now proceeding on the Pacific coast. One is the completion of

the great 200-inch telescope on the summit of Mt. -

Palomar. The other is the huge' cyclotron which will stand half-hidden in the hills on the campus of the University of California. Both are being built with Rockefeller money and both were interriptéd by world war IL After Pearl Harbor it was feared that the-Pacific coast might be bombed by the Japanese, consequently work orf the grinding of the big mirrer was stopped and the uncompleted “magic eye” was hidden in a subterranean vault. Work on the cyclotron was stopped for another reason. Dr. E. O. Lawrence of the University of California, the inventor of the cyclotron,’ had been made one of the program chiefs of the atomic bomb project.

Soon to View Heavens

THE JOB given him was to devise a means of separating uranium 235 needed for the bomb from ordinary uranium. The huge electromagnet completed for the new cyclotron was temporarily employed by Dr. Lawrence to devise a machine for isolating uranium 235. The method worked and a large number of such machines, called “Calutrons,” a word coined from “California university cyclotrons,” were built and installed at Oak Ridge, Tenn.

LONDON, Monday —It is a moving thing to return to a country which you have seen in time of war and take stock of what the intervening years of continued war have done not only to material things, but the the people themselves. As we drove through Southampton and then through the countryside and the little villages, , I marveled at the work which had § been done to clear up destruction * in the towns. : Anyone - who has known the British countryside in the’ past cannot help but see great changes. * Pences, walls, hedges, which then .Would have been in “apple-pie” order, now very often resemble our rather haphazard ways in the United States. , A traveler coming from the United States for the first time might not realize that spaces between houses in towns and villages are usually the work of a bomb and not the result of never having been used. : .“ Nature has a way of covering up very quickly the scars made by man in the woods and fields.

Fooling Mrs. Kelley's Tulips. THE SPRING WEATHER last week even fooled Mrs. Katherine Kelley's tulips. Mrs. Kelley, who works at the weather bureau, said several of her tulips were above the ground already. "But they had no business being there,” she explained, “so I just covered them right up again.” , , .

Supply Minister Pierre Tangay-Prigent on Saturday night took-a drastic, if uneconomic, step to insure Parisians meat for their Sunday dinners. The government bought 360 tons of meat, that had been standing unsold in market refrigerators, at 72 francs a kilo (60 cents per 2 1/5 Ibs.) and resold it to retail butchers for 52 francs (43% cents) a kilo. Thus, producers got a profit and retailers were enabled to sell within the government's fixed price limit of 100 francs (84 cents) a kilo, and at the same time to get their own profit. This expedient, of course, merely provided a temporary solution of the problem which last week caused Paris butchers to threaten to close their shops,

New Price System THE WELL-INTENTIONED Tangay-Prigent has promised to establish a new system of prices which will enable producers to dispose of their meat at a good profit. I He also promised to consider simplifying present measures for collecting ration tickets for bread which have caused riots in front of bakeries throughout France. \ Riots, broke out in the industrial town of Le Creusot, in Dijon, and in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, The. bakers’ union finally agreed to order all its members to demand ration tickets before delivering bread.

be turned on the heavens and the great cyclotron will be turned on the atom. It is interesting to compare these two instruments. The function of the 200-inch telescope is to explore the furthest reaches of space, those beyond the 100inch telescope at Mt. Wilson, the largest telescope now in existence. ’ The most distant spiral nebula visible in the 100inch telescope is about 100,000,000 light-years away. A light-year, as you may have forgotten during the busy years of the war, is the distance a beam of light travels in year. It is six trillion miles.

Atom Mostly Space THE CYCLOTRON will be used to develop swiftmoving beams of subatomic particles with which to explore the interior of the atom. The atom of uranium, largest of the atoms, has a diameter of one 100,000,000th of an inch. The small: est atom, that of hydrogen, has a diameter of only one 250,000,000th of an inch. But like the solar system, the atom consists mostly of empty space. At its center is the nucleus, a compact arrangement of protons and neutrons. Surrounding this nucleus is a “cloud” of electrons which at times appear to be in certain orbits. It is amazing to contemplate the parade of nature from the structure of the atom to the structure of the universe, but it is even more amazing to meditate upon -the fact that the same laws hold true throughout. It is entirely within the range of possibility that the 200-inch telescope will disclose the answers posed by riddles found with the cyclotron and that the cyclotron in its turn will explain puzzles confronting
