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 Sorvants. They will be men who have proved their organising ability in other nelda,

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

What does it all mean-and where Is it leading?

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

The Columbia professors found they had released two atomic "con- non
