May Make New Bomb Baffles Japan's Scientists TOKYO, Feb. 1 (U.R). Japanese scientists, once competitors in the race to use nuclear energy for destruction, confessed today they knew little about the way in which the United States might make the hydrogen bomb. Dr. Yosnio Nishina, who during the war was Japan's chief hope for development of the A-bomb, summed up Japanese scientific opinion when he said: "All I can say is that, for better or worse, the world was bound to come to this." "We may have our own theories but at the present stage of Japanese research we have no means of testing or proving them," said Prof.

Goro Miyamoto of Tokyo University. "How the H-bomb can be manufactured remains a mystery to Japanese scientists," said Prof. Eiichi Takeda of the Tokyo College of Engineering. "We believe that tremendous energies could be generated by the union of the nuclei of helium with those of 'heavy hydrogen. How this could be done we do not know." makers to suggest caution before this country plunges into a head long atomic race with Russia.

Rep. Henry R. Jackson (D-Wash), a member of the Atomic Committee, declared the prospect of ultra-lethal hydrogen bombs once again raises the question of international control of atomic weapons on a scale more urgent than ever. Jackson said the Presidents deci sion has "placed us on a knife-edge of history," and he declared: 'With almost equal ease, we could fall either into mass destruction or into a condition of active peace instead of our present conditions of inactive war. "This may be the last opportunity the statesmen will have to catch up with the scientists.

This may be our last chance to avoid a third world war." At the State Department, there was no immediate move to reopen negotiations with Russia and her satellite nations for effective inter national control of atomic energy. Little Hope For New Approach Diplomatic authorities said the spokesman for the mine owners, greeted each other stiffly. The grim manner of both men was maintained throughout the preliminaries. Union and operator representatives posed without a word for photographs around the big conference table. There was only one outbreak of laughter, quickly stilled, during the picture taking flurry.

Neither jiewis nor Love would make any prediction about the prospects for a settlement. They parried questions about Mr. Truman's proposal. Then they shut the door. In the injunction suit before Judge Keech, Denham asks, among other things, that Lewis and the TJMW be required (1) to call off the three-day week which Lewis ordered during the negotiations, (2) to bargain with the operators in good faith, (3) to drop the contract clause under which UMW men work only when "willing and able," and (4) to give up demands that only UMW members shall receive welfare benefits.

Displays Boyd Report Dominick Manoli of the NLRB legal staff presented the Denham side of that issue to Judge Keech this morning. He started off with a sheaf of exhibits topped by last week's report from James Boyd, chief of the Bureau of Mines, that a national crisis exists or soon will exist unless normal coal output is resumed. Manoli said Denham's aim in the suit is to keep "substantial injury" from being done to the nation before the NLRB can rule on the UMW tactics of w7hich operators complain. On the specific point of the "willing and able" clause, Manoli said that provision permits the union itself to determine when the men shall work. He said that "subverts the very purpose of the (Taft-Hartley) statute seeking to foster the collective bargaining principle." The NLRB lawyer said the three-day week too is a method of coercion.

Manoli concluded with the assertion that the Taft-Hartley Act is being violated and the union should be enjoined "in the public interest." Welly K. Hopkins, UMW general counsel had the courtroom floor this afternoon He gave an advance hint of his approach this morning by stating that while he did not object to the introduction of Manoli's exhibits, the UMW considers them "not a full disclosure" of the effects of the short week, sporadic stoppages and often-broken negotiations that have been going on since the old coal contract expired in June. Specifically, Hopkins said the union "does not admit the accuracy" of the coal stockpile figures from the Bureau of Mines. Then in his main effort this afternoon. Hopkins advanced the EU9C STREET Mrs.

Lillian Kadanagle, Suffers Bruised Leg When Hit by Car, Police Report Mrs. Lillian Kadanagle. 62, of 400 Wast Street, suffered a bruised left leg last night when hit toy an auto while crossing Fourth and Madison St.reets. She was taken to the Wilmington General Hospital and treated. The operator of the car, according to police, was James R.

of Collins Park. It was raining et the time of the accident. Dorothy Walls, 7, of Wilmington Manor, received a slightly bruised lip when the car in which she was a passenger was involved in a col-1 at A and Claycnont Streets. She was riding in a car operated by Robert L. Walls of Wilmington Manor.

The operator of the other car involved was Leonard H. Murphy of New Castle. Damage to the cars totaled $200. Edward W. DiPatre.

209 North Lincoln Street, was arrested for disregarding a stop sign at Eighth and Monroe Streets following a collision there between his car and an automobile operated by Charles N. Col-burn, 502 South Heald Street. The damage to the vehicles was estimated at $150. A collision at Twenty-sixth and Pine Street between a car operated by Samuel Gourley of Felton and a truck driven by Ernest E. Jackson, Thirtieth Street near Market, caused damage of $105.

No one was injured. Alexander Florczyk, 24, of the 900 block Maple Street, was arrested at Delaware Avenue and Adams Street for operating a car without a license, failing to have a registration card in his po.ssession and driving a motor vehicle with improper muffler. ousing rnntinard From First Fagr. pons who want accommodations are not on the lists because they realize too many people are ahead of them. In Eastlake and Southbridge, the two permanent low-rent housing projects owned by the authority, there is more than one family waiting for every dwelling unit in the two developments.

A total of 465 persons are on the waiting lists for the 380 hemes in the two developments. At Eastlake. which is at Twenty-sixth and Jessup Streets, across frcm Price Run Park, there are 268 applicants for 200 homes all occupied. 197 Wait for Southbridge At Southbridge the demand is only slightly 'less at the moment. Seme 197 families are listed as waiting for homes.

There are only 180 homes in the development, and no vacancies. Rents in Eastlake and Southbridge range from $17 a month for the lowest income family in the smallest tinits. to $37 to the highest income eligible family in the largest units. The families with incomes over the limits for eligibility to remain in the developments are paying $45 a month, the legal maximum. These families 52 in Eastlake and 36 in southbridge are all under six months' notice to move out, to make way for eligible families needing low-rent housing.

At Riverside, roughly across the Governor Prlntz Boulevard from Eastlake, there are 148 houses and the waiting list numbers 113 families. Riverside is a temporary war housing project, not constructed for low-income families, and currently being used by veterans and their families. Here the 'maximum rents set by the rent control office are charged. They vary from $34 a month for a one-bedroom unit to $38 for a three-bedroom unit. Wta Fill Prniorio Similar rents are charged at the vther three temporary proiect.5 Millside, Pennside and Shipside.

All four of these are filled now with veterans and their families. Veterans also get preference in the leasing of accommodations at East-lake and Southbridge, but non-veterans with low incomes, who are residing in sub-standard housing, are also eligible. Millside. with 550 units for Negro occupancy, has a waiting list of 313. Pennside, which has 242 units, has 59 families waiting.

And Shipside, with 664 units, has a waiting list of 187. Coal Continued From First Page rn operators, broken off three months ago. The bargaining session is the latest of an eight months' series in which Robert N. Denham. generalj counsel or the' National Labor Relations Board, contends Lewis has only been going through the motions while he tried to coerce the mine owners into an illegal deal.

Principally at issue in the court case and a bone to be well gnawed In the wage talks too is the combination of a three-day work week and hop-skip-jump strikes that has cut the nation's fuel supnlv to a level that brought White House intervention. Court Delay Indicated In line with speculation that there would be no ruling in the court case until there are indications of what is really going on in current bargaining. Judge Richmond B. Keech indicated he will do nothing before next week. After the arguments were finished he granted union counsel until 4 p.

m. Monday to file a legal memorandum that will have a bearing on his findings. Opening of the contract session at the Statler Hotel showed where Lewis himself thinks the main show-is. He was there in person. He had left the court chores to his lawyers.

Lewis' choice pointed up something implicit though not openly expressed throughout the court proceedings: Any anti-strike or anti-slowdown injunction arising out of the current litigation would apply only to stoppages over issues Denham contends the miners have no legal right to press. The big issue of wages was at the hotel. Stiff Greetings At the opening of the bargaining session. Lewis and George H. Love, Atomic City Awaiting Word On What Role it Will Play In Making Dread Weapon OAK RIDGE, Feb.

1 (IP). Oak Ridge's vast atomic plants stand ready to help produce the hydrogen bomb as soon as they learn what role, if any, they are to play in making the destructive weapon. That was the consensus expressed today by the heads of the various plants and the director of atomic research here. Obviously, Atomic Energy Commission officials and others here cannot say how Oak Ridge fits into the hydrogen bomb picture. But they are quick to say they stand ready and willing to do everything possible to speed the bomb's development.

Typical of the comment was this statement by Dr. C. E. Larson, who today became director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory: "The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has already expressed its willingness to participate in this and other Atomic Energy Commission projects vital to the nation's welfare." Some scientists have speculated the H-bomb would be from eight to 1,000 times more powerful than the A-bomb. The laboratory which Dr.

Larson heads is the chief nuclear research center here. The research director at the laboratory, Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg, said he didn't believe the H-bomb raised any "moral issues" which should preclude its development by scientists. "I don't think the hydrogen bomb raises any moral issues which differ fundamentally from those faced by the American people, including American scientists, when they originally decided to use atomic weapons," Dr.

Weinberg declared. Dr. Weinberg's comment on President Truman's decision for the nation to go ahead with development of the weapon came the nearest to saying Oak Ridge already was working on the bomb. He said he believed the mere existence of an H-bomb would make the use of any bomb "much less likely." If that is so, he added, then Oak Ridge scientists "who are in various ways connected with the H-bomb program can derive the will and comfort necessary to get on with our tasks." Weather- Continued From First Page and eastern Missouri; and fears were being expressed for the safety of Indians, ranchers and farmers isolated in the heavy snows of northern Montana. Delaware also escaped most of the snow which covered the northeastern states.

The snowfall was four-tenths of an inch in New Castle County, while a fall of two inches and more was experienced in northern New Jersey and the states to the north. The winter still provided its freaks in this area, however. The temperature at 9 o'clock last night was 33 degrees at the airport and in Dover, but 41 degrees at the state police station in Georgetown. Sussex County temperatures ran an average of five degrees higher than those in the other two counties throughout the day. Rain made driving conditions poor in the two lower counties, but better than the conditions created by the combination experienced in the northern county.

According to the Weather Station, rain and sleet fell during the hours of darkness yesterday morning. The snow began at 6:15 a. m. and ended Weather Conditions Wilmington and vicinity: Cloudy with occasional rain; little change in temperature; highest temperature near 40 degrees; wind velocity, 8 to 12 miles per hour; direction easterly.

The weather was bad enough to cancel out 16 airline flights from the county airport yesterday but between 5 and 7 o'clock last night. Eastern Airlines managed to get two flights in and out of the field, the Weather Station reported. The fog which arrived at nightfall helped to reduce visibility to less than a half-mile. The high temperature was 40 degrees, recorded before 1 a.

and the low was 30. For most of the day the temperatures stayed between '33 and 35. Floods, snow, and ice provided the serious notes in the rest of the nation. Floods drowned three persons in West Virginia and brought a state of emergency at Painesville, Ky. Many families evacuated their homes.

Sleet storms dumped a crushing weight of ice on northern Texas and Eastern Missouri. At least 54 Texas cities were isolated from telephone communications. A thick belt of counties along the northern Red River boundary of Texas were the hardest hit. Meanwhile South Texas basked in balmy temperatures 70 degrees and above. Montana Gov.

JohnW. Bonner wired President Truman yesterday asking that northern Montana be declared an emergency area so that Army snowplows may be used In the grave situation there. He said many Indians are snowbound and hungry, numerous white ranchers and farmers are isolated and threatened with heavy livestock losses. At the same time the Fifth Army was moving into the Dakotas to rush food and fuel to the stricken inhabitants. Meanwhile, the Ohio River was sounding another ominous note The waters of the river were rising to threaten such cities as Cincin nati and Portsmouth, and other towns in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Dispatches from such satellite capitals as Prague said the newspapers had made no mention of the H-bomb announcement. In Berlin itself, where the newspapers in the United States, British and French sectors had blazoned the news, one Communist-controlled newspaper did mention the H-bomb. Eleven, others ignored it. The Communist Berliner Zeitung in reporting the President's announcement called it "a clear confession of the employment of mass annihilation which was outlawed by the entire civilized world and peaceful humanity as fascist barbarism." Likewise, the only Communist-controlled radio station which was heard broadcasting the news up to tonight more than 24 hours after the Washington announcement was that of the Soviet-dominated East German government in Berlin. The station said the President's announcement was "proof" that the United States was preparing for war.

It predicted "new failure for Mr. Truman and his warmongering clique." The BBC. as well as the State Department's Voice of America, broadcast Mr. Truman's announcement repeatedly last night and today to iron curtain countries. A BBC spokesman said it was still too early to tell whether any attempt had been made to jam these newscasts.

H-Bomb- Continued From First Page sional referendum in respect to the appropriations involved. "I wish the President, however, would immediately notify the United Nations of our intent and purpose to suspend all our activities in respect to mass destruction weapons the first moment the use of these weapons can be dependably outlawed." "Unfortunately, the Moscow attitude has thus far prevented this reliance," Vandenberg said. In general, diplomatic authorities and some Congress members took a gloomy view of the chances for agreement with Moscow at this stage of the East-West armaments race. Forecasts of a possible H-bomb test by this country within the next "I have been told by scientists who are not mere theorists but who actually planned and made the bomb which was exploded in New Mexico (the first A-bomb tested) that, given the same intensive effort which was employed during the war toward the production of that bomb, we were within two years at the close of the war of producing a bomb of the hydrogen -helium type that is, a bomb of approximately one thousand times the power of the present (1946) bombs." Today's report that H-bomb tests may be ready by 1951 came from a well-informed source other than McCloy.

The President's historic decision was announced shortly after midday yesterday, and Chairman McMahon (D-Conn) of the Senate-House Atomic Committee immediately urged that H-bombs be turned out with "the utmost speed."

Diplomatic officials indicated that if Russia should now back water and agree to the American plan, it would have to be done through the UN not through direct Washington-Moscow talks. How long it might take to build the new-type bomb was still anybody's guess.

Under the tight secrecy surrounding the subject, there was a minimum of factual information. However, it is known that much preliminary work has been done on the H-bomb. And there are indications that early theoretical and experimental work has been quietly going ahead for at least the last four months or even since Mr. Truman announced last September tha' an atomic explosion had- taken Dlace in Russia. Some officials here said they do not believe Russia has yet manufactured a hydrogen bomb, but said they assumed the Russians will be able to do so.
