THERE IS NOTHING SECRET IN H-BOMB
New York, April 13.
There is no hydrogen bomb "secrot," any more than there was ever an
American-held basic secret of the atom. Nor is it a secret to Generalissimo Stalin that the hydrogen bomb is' a
weapon particularly suited to destroying America's civilisation.

open These are some of the secrets about the hydrogen bomb discussed in the Bulletin of the Atomis' scientists,

all forms of itfe.
It is now common knowledge that seleniiats believe you can set off an explosion in some forms of hydrogen, using the explosion of an ordinary A-bomb as the irigger.
Rare hydrogen
In 1946 the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists received a copy of a book by a distinguished Aus- trian scientist named, Professor. Hans Thirring. It contained whole chapter about the reac tions ent which a super-bomb
might rely.
The Bulletin's editors refrained from printing this or other arti- etes like It, for fear of giving the appearance that the United States was building this bomb.
Now they reprint article, and they say:
Thirring's
These facts were familiar to nuclear scientists everywhere in the world even before the dis discovery of uranium fission."
An H-bomb, we now learn by reading Thirring and others, would be made hot from or dinary hydrogen but from rarer "heavy hydrogen" called deuterium. The deuterium will be mixed, it seems likely, with still rarer "heavy heavy hydrogen known as tritium.
to People already know how
from separate heavy hydrogen ordinary hydrogen. In a standard and fairly inexpensive procedure, you can make small quantities of tritium by bombarding the ele- ment lithium with neutrons in an ordinary atomic pile.
Compact weapon While you could theoretiently use an infinite amount of hydro- gen in the H-bomb-and theore tically make a bomb 1,000 times more powerful than the A-bomb In practice it might have to be far smaller, just for conventence. Dr. Louis Ridenour of Illinos University hus observed:
"To say the fusion bomb would be two, seven, 10, 100 or 1,000 times as devastating as the con- (the A- ventional. fission bomb

brought within the range of technical possibility.
the cold war goes on und on, there may be a price. It is the people who will pay the price, and it must be their decision to pay it, and they will have a discuss it before they will be able to_decide."
Two of the round-table parti- cipants-Cornell's Dr. Bethe and lilinois University's Dr. Frederick Seitz are among 12 physicists who have said the United States should build the H-bomb only if it pledges never to be the first to use it.
We believes no nation has the right to use such a bomb, no matter how righteous It ouse," they assert.
This bomb is no longer weapon of war, but a means of extermination of whole popula tions. Its use would be a betrayal. of all standards of morality of Christian civilisation itself."- Associated Frees."
RADIO
and
In a broadcast by the Univer- sity of Chicago round table last month, four important scientists raised the possibility of "rigging" an H-bomb to produce even more radioactivity than normal.
One, Dr. Leo Szilard of Chi-and un 9.52 megacyoles per second in cago University, has explained:
"If it becomes possible to de- Lonate practically unlimited quan- tities of heavy hydrogen; then it automatically becomes possible to release very large quantities of radioactive substance in the air simply by incorporating into H-bombs, clements which become absorb radioactive when they neutrons."
Fantastic cost
Szilard raised the issue of no tional dispersal-moving people and industries from fat, easy targets. He said that with the possibility of H-bombs rigged for mankind could radio-activity,
reach a new day when the loser in a war will have the desperate option of inflicting death on the whole world.
One of his fellows said we musi realise that the cost of building H-bombs, then, could be not ahly the cost of the bomb, but the fantastic cost of proper dispersal, which would protect cities from blast effects if not from radio- activity-and permit us at least more security than wo would have otherwise.
David E. Lillenthal, former U.S. Atomic Energy Commission chair- man, accused these four scientists of creating growing hopelessness arousing and helplessness and emotions that play into Commu nist hands.

"What we said we did not say to scare people, nor-did-we-say it for lack of restraint," replied The possibility remains that Szilard. "The reason for speak- the H-bomb might be more com- pact than one might otherwise ing up is rather this
