US Bid To Control H-Bomb

PROBLEM BEING ATTACKED WITH VIGOUR SAYS LEWIS STRAUSS

Washington, Oct. 3.

Mr Lewis Strauss, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, said today the United States "is vigorously tackling" the problem of controlling the hydrogen bomb, to produce enough electric power to fill the world's needs for more than a thousand million years.

But, he emphasised at a press con- ference, it could not be stated too strongly that the problem was far from being solved.

Mr Strauss was discussing "Operation Sher-

wood," the first details of which he revealed in' August at the international Atoms-for-Peace con- ference in Geneva.

M said today that this re- search problem had been in progress

since 1951 und might be successfully concluded next year or in a thousand years time.

He thought that 20 years was

a for guess. "But it would net surprise m If success came somer or astonish me if it cams Jater."

Experiments were now being conducted with deuterium, handy form of hydrogen, is this was thought to be the lightest elciment for use la fusion reze- lors of the future. Mr Straust said that deuterium was presserst in water in the ratio of one tu every 0.400 nuclet of ordinary hydrogen.

For this reason, the experi merits succeeded. The oceans themselves would be vast mines for exploitation, he added.

DISARMAMENT

Not A Fair "Cop"

Wellington, New Zealand, Oct. 3.

Few occupations offer as much variety as does that of a policeman. There is a police constable in Hawke's Bay, however, who is firmly of the opinion that a little less variety would be a good thing.

With another constable he was assigned the routine task of escorting a man from Hawke's Bay to a mental asylum near Wellington, the 200-mile journey being done in a car driven by a relative of the patient.

During the trip the patient became violent. It was found, however, that if the man was allowed to play at being a policeman who was escorting the other two, all remained quiet.

This diplomatic reversal of roles was continued, for the sake of peace and order when they reached the asylum.

But a halt had to be called when the policeman was mistaken for the patient and held by two hefty attemlants, while the patient went out to join the other policeman.

Eventually, the mix-up was sorted out by the second policeman.-China Mail Special

PROPOSED RED ARMS SHIPMENTS

Moscow After Foothold In The Middle East?

London, Oct. 3.

Britain today expressed disappointment over Russia's blunt rejection of Western protests against proposed Communist arms shipments to the Middle East.

The swift Soviet rejection strengthened Western conclusions that Moscow is out for a foothold in the strategically vital Middle East from which Russia has been effectively kept out throughout and since World

War II.

Soviet policy experts say the Kremlin may be trying now to Arab pave the way for a "counter-bloc" to the recently created Near East defence align- ment of Britain, Turkey, Iraq and Pakistan.
