PROPAGANDA GAINS MOMENTUM IN CHINA'S CIVIL WAR

Shanghai, Dec. 28.-Premier Sun Fo will today lay before the Legislative Yuan at Nanking outlines of the probable policy the war cabinet will follow in another stage of the rapidly developing situation, which finds China's civil war deserting the battle- fields for propaganda and psychological warfare.

Both the Nationalists and the Communists are beginning to unlimber the biggest political pro- paganda guns in a gesture to the masses as well as aiming them at each other.

150 Suspected Reds On P.I. Black List

Manila, Dec. 27-Philippine immigration offi- cials have a "black list" of persons suspected of being Chinese Communists, it was learned today. It con- tains about 150 names.

Under the country's immigration laws, a Communist may be deported. But he has to be proved a Communist, which in most cases is difficult.

Immigration Commissioner En- gracle Fabre told the United Press that four Chinese have been deported. recently as Communists. The cases of five others are pending before the supreme court.

Now York, Dec 27.--Con- struction of America's first postwar atomic energy "oven”·

pne that may divulge- more secrets of the forces of nature- has entered the final phase,

It was a simple pile at the University of Chicago where man successfully started a chain reaction of atomie energy, a fent that led to the first atomic bomb.

The Arst grapalte block for the new pite, or "oven," being built at the Brookhaven. National Laboratory, at Upton, Long Island, was laid under security regulations so strict

who that only, those

had been elenred by the FBI were permitted to be on hand. The block was one of about 00,000 pieces of graphite that will be used build the pile,

Like children playing with toy blocks, the Brookhaven scientists will pile one block; of graphite up- Fon another until the designated size of the "oven" is reached. Holes will be left at various locations in the sides of the pile through which - the rods of uranium, or other fls- slonable material, will be Inserted.

The graphite serves as a modern- tor. to slow down the neutrons that come from the nucleus of the atom. Neutrona split other atoms, but must be slowed down to make the chain-reaction of splitting atoms practical. The amount of purifien- tion of the graphite blocks, 1lke the amount of purification in uranium or other fissionable material, is one of the top secrets of the United States Government in its atomic energy-plics.

Once, the Brookhaven pile starts operating sometime carly next year, Tis inside will probably never agairt be seen by man. When the con- trolled chain-reaction starts, the entiro "oven" will be highly radio- active.

However, the Brookhaven scientists will be able to place cer- tain elements or materials into the oven and expose them to the rodla- tion coming from the

chain-reaction.

In such a technique, numerous types

such of radioactive isotopes, radioactive iodine,, will be manufae- tured. Other projects may include the creation of new elements.

Elaborate precautions have been 10 prevent taken at Brookhaven radioactive wastes of the plle trom being

In such conditions, it is planned to slow down operation of the pile, or close operations altogether.-United Press.
