Scientist Says
A-Bomb Already
Is Obsolete
NEW ORLEANS, </P) — A top
scientist of the Atomic Energy
Commission was quoted as saying
the atomic bomb is obsolete.
How literal that was meant or
what relation it might have to ef
forts of the U. S. to create a hy
drogen bomb was not clear.
Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D-La)
mentioned the matter in the third
of a series of articles on the Eni
wetok tests, written for a New
Orleans paper.
The scientist waS Dr. Edward
Teller, physicist of the AEC’s Los
Alamos, N. M., bomb laboratory
and one of the men who helped
develop the first atomic bomb.
Hebert was telling of a chat among
several officials and himself while
at Eniwetok for atomic tests in
i
April and May.
Hebert said he had remarked
that the New Orleans airport,
when built in 1933, was the most
modern in the United States but
now is obsolete. Thereupon He
bert related, Dr. Teller com
mented:
“That’s nothing. In 1934 nobody
had ever heard of the atom bomb
and today it is obsolete.”

Mac Arthur Feels Public
Will Farce End Karea War
DALLAS, (/P) — General Mac
Arthur finished his Texas cam
paign Saturday convinced the peo
ple now will demand an end to
what he calls Communist appease
ment.
If his ouster by President Tru
man is a factor, declared the de
posed U.N. commander, “Then I
would be thankful indeed.”
In Dallas Friday <he drew the
most boisterous crowd of his four
day tour. And in Dallas’ 76,000
seat Cotton Bowl — with only
27,500 seats filled—he was inter
rupted 18 times by applause.
For the first time in the tour
an unruly crowd broke through
thinly-spaced police to surround
and almost engulf his open con
vertible. The scene in front of
the Adolphus Hotel at Dallas had
some of the unrestrained enthu
siasm of his public appearances
after his return from Korea.
He said the reception given him
“offers assurance’’ the public will
force into* effect his program of
bringing the Korean war “to a
prompt and victorious end.”

Old “North Star” Enroute
Bristol Bay On First Trip
As Refrigerator Vessel
SEATTLE, (^P) — The former
Alaska Native Service ship North
Star, recently converted into a
refrigerated fishing vessel at a
cost of half a million dollars, was
enroute to the Bristol Bay salmon
fishing grounds today on her first
voyage in her new career.
The 246-foot wooden ship is
owned by Martin Petrich of Ta
coma, Mike Barovic of Puyallup,
August Mardesich of Everett and
associates. The vessel was con
verted at Petrich’s Western Boat
building Co. in Tacoma.
On her decks are 16 fishing
boats, each 32 feet long, which
will provide the fish for the big
craft. The ship reportedly has one
of the largest refrigeration plants
of her type in th£ world.
The North Star served for years
as a cargo ship for the Alaska
Native Service. It was sold by the
government after a new North
Star was put on the run.
A call for bids appears in this
issue of the Nugget, for the
moving of a building from the
MAFB to the National Guard site
on Front Street, where it will be
used as a rifle range.
It is reported that the building
will be placed on the south of
the present headquarters build
ing.

Mission Conference of the Meth
