VISITING RUSSIA
NEW YORK, <j*P) — A physical
and mental examination was or

with an admitted urge to reach

to study Russian communism. He

government.
Government sources said Camp

Russia last year by way of Alaska

Hydrogen Bomb
May Not Be
Workable
WASHINGTON (iP)—Chairman
Gordon Dean of the atomic ener
gy commission says the United
States has not yet determined
whether the hydrogen bomb can
be made to work.
“We haven’t completed our de
termination as to the feasibility”
of the projected super-bomb, Dean
said in an interview with the mag
azine U. S. News and World Re
port made public last night.
Dean, who took over as chair
man of the AEC last July, also
reported that the nation’s stock
pile of atomic bombs may be use
ful even if they never are explod
ed.
Their fissionable material can
be converted to supply power
“much more valuable than the
gold at Fort Knox,” he said. The
U. S. gold reserves stored at Fort
Knox are estimated to be worth
more than $23,000,000,000.
Bean also reported that this
ccruntry is still “well ahead” of
Russia in the development of the
atomic bomb, but he said it would
be foolish to minimize the Russian
achievement.
Sgt. W. W. Farrington, of the
Alaska National Guard, and his
wife, who were married on Mon
day at Noorvik, started on their
honeymoon immediately arriving
in Name on the same day. They
were scheduled to leave today for
the States to complete their hon
eymoon.
Pan American has arranged to
surprise the young couple with a
wedding cake which will be pre
sented to them sometime enroute
from Fairbanks to Seattle. Ar
rangements weer made through
the Nome office.
Here’s What To Do
In A-Bor b Attack
WASHINGTON, {JP)—The gov
ernment has come up with its
answers to such atomic era ques
tions as:
What should you wear if there’s
danger of an a-bomb attack?
What should you do about ra
dioactive dust in your clothes?
How soon after an a-attack is
it safe to let the cat out?
The government’s answers to
these and a host of other ques
tions appear in its long-promised
booklet, “Survival Under Atomic
Attack.”
It’s the first official publication
to tell the public in plain English
just what to do if the big bomb
does fall. It costs a dime and you
can get it from the superintendent
of public documents, Washington,
25, D.C. A more technical discus
sion was issued by the Atomic
Energy Commission last August.
The National Security Resourc
ese board, which put out the 32
page booklet this past week-end,
plans to distribute millions of cop
ies through local civil defense or
ganization. The goal: A copy in
every American home.
Unless you’re right under an
exploding bomb, the booklet says,
you can survive — if you keep
your head. But you should know
these “six survival secrets:”
1— Try to get shielded—in a
basement or subway if you can.
in a ditch or gutter if you have tor.
2— Drop flat on the ground or
floor.
3— Bury your face in your arms.
4— Don’t rush outside right af
ter a bombing.
5— Don’t take chances with food
or water in open containers. A
can-opener is one of the handiest
things to have around.
6— Don’t start rumors. One false
one may start a panic that will
cost your life.
