DEFENCE DICTATORS ARE ALREADY CHOSEN

And They Are Not Civil Servants

IT is understood that ten of Britain's twelve defence 'dictators have been chosen.

All will be men whose names are household words and they will not be Civil Servants. They will be men who have proved their organising ability in other fields.

M.P.s Call For Ban On Dog Fights

M.

P.s are (to make a determined effori fo' pat ́a stop "to the scandal of secret dog fights which are being held regularly on lonely moorlands all over Britain,

Sir Robert Vaughan Gower, M.P. for. Gillingham and head of the R.S.P.CA. and the National Canine Defence Lengue, was recently plan ning the campaign from his sick-bed in Tunbridge Wells. He will raise the matter in the Commons..

Among the M.P.a who will support him are Sir Cooper Rawson, Sir -Moore, Mr. G. Williams but and Mr. A. Somerville

Some may have made their names in the Services. Others Thomas will come direct from industry. None will at first be paid, their expenses will be met.

The Denfence dictators will have wide powers of control their own areas.

They will control transport, public order, food supplies, and evacuation plans.

If, during war, communication with central headquarters is cut off, they will have complete control as the authorised Govern- ment representatives.

Knocking "Chunks” Off The Atom SCIENTISTS at Cambridge

and Liverpool who are busy these days smashing atoms, looked up recently from their work of destruction to note that Columbia University physicists have just split an uranium atom "to cause the largest tar- restrial conversion of mass into energy on record.".

What does it all mean-and where is it lending?

Even ne scientists don't know. The Columbla experiment simply marks one more stage in atomic re- search and the confirmation of cur- tain other experiments carried out in Berlin.

“Bigger CHUNKS"

Scientists In the Cavendish La- boratory at Cambridge, where the atom was smashed by Dr. Cockroft, were working on the uranium stom when news came that it had been split at Columbia University.

"So far, it has been possible only to split little bits off the uranium atom by bombarding it with neu- trons,"

Dr. explained

Cockroft. "Now it seems that you can split itį Into much bigger chunks."

The New York Correspondent states that a huge pièce of apparatus weighing 75 tons, was used to split the uranium atom.

The Columbia ““ professors found they had released two atomic "ean- non balls" each containing the re- mendous energy .of one hundred million electron volts. The TE- markable point was the low energy needed to produce such fantastic re- sults. Earlier experiments in Berlin were curried out by Professor Otto Hahn, of Berlin, and Dr. L. Meliner, a woman physicist who is working In Sweden now because she was ex- pelled from Germany for racial rea- sons.
