...Europe, but on a scale far below that which the State Department deems a rock-bottom minimum. Representative Taber, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, is not convinced that France and Italy need help. House Majority Leader Hallcck asserts that Mr. Truman's requests will be "shot full of holes" by the time Congress gets through with them; while Speaker Martin feels the whole thing is "his (the President's) responsibility...
When the great new "synchrocyclotron" at the University of California was first turned on last fall, a powerful beam of unidentified radiation shot from its circular chamber. It slammed through a foot of lead, losing only half its strength. The physicists found that the beam was made up of high energy neutrons (nuclear particles with no electric charge). The neutrons were debris left over when speeding deuterons (nuclei of heavy hydrogen) hit a target inside the cyclotron...

Its sentiments are eminently correct for the movies, with one exception. When the hero first meets the heroine and her mother, he goes briefly for the mother-but that angle could easily be cut out of the script. Love finally conquers all as The Bomb falls on Hiroshima. Running time: 90 minutes...
