Vollrath to Air Atomic Problems
Physics Professor To Lecture Today In Fifth Address of LAS Series
“Atomic Energy: For Good or Evil?” will be the discussion topic offered by Dr. Richard E. Vollrath, professor of physics and chairman of the department of physics, this afternoon at 3:15 in Hancock Auditorium, as part of the LAS lecture series.
“The series has proved so increasingly popular with students and friends of the college that it was necessary to move the lectures to a hall with larger seating capacity,” explained Dr. Harold von Hofe, chairman of the LAS talks. It will be wise, however, Dr. Von Hofe emphasized, for prospective attenders to come early to be sure of seats.
An intriguing paraphrase for the subpect matter could well be “Atomic Energy is Here to Stay— But Are We?” suggested the German professor. He added that the head of the physics department will discuss the destructive and
constructive effects of atomic energy.
FACTS REVEALED
Little known facts about the atomic bomb are that we have so far completely destroyed material equal to three matchheads, and that the bombs the U.S. used in the last war were the smallest pos sible ones that could be effective. Dr. Willard Geer, professor of physics, has said that atomic energy compressed to the size of an eraser could drive a ship across the ocean. Dr. VoUrath will elaborate on this theme.
This is the fifth in a series rf lectures designed by the College of Letters. Arts, and Sciences to present current subjects by speakers who are authorities in their fields, who will discuss their subpecta in terms understandable to the layman.

Magic Lamp/ Life Insurance Dubbed in Talk
Life insurance is the 1946 Aladdin’s lamp which enables the long-range plans of the average individual to come true, asserted Donald Scoles, assistant professor of commerce, yesterday at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Men’s Faculty club.
Professor Scoles listed three ways of acquiring a minimum income to live on after retirement at 65.
First, the individual can save directly from his earnings. Second, he can make investments which will yield a satisfactory rate of interest. Third, he can depend on gifts or charity.
CHARITY NOT FAVORED
The speaker declared that the individual is more likely to think in .terms of saving and investments, and to eliminate the third factor of charity.
Professor Scoles then described what must be done to retire at 65 with an income of $1200 a year, solely by saving and investment. He compared this to creating a retirement fund by means of life insurance.
If the saving and investment method is used it will take an outlay of $770 a year for 25 years. Professor Scoles declared. If life insurance is used, he said, it will take an outlay of only $561 a year for the same period to provide the $100 a month income. In addition, the life insurance buyer has immediately created a life estate of $10,000 which will gradually grow to a maximum of $18,750.
PERSONAL CREDIT
Important uses for life insurance other than the one dealing with an income after retirement were discussed. Life insurance is an important device for improving personal credit, and has considerable value when used as property insurance.
Professor Scoles cautioned that before life insurance is taken out the problem of the individual should be analysed carefully so that the right plan may be selected.

Scientist Tells Of New Stain
Aiming at the explanation of one of the contradictions of microbiology, Dr. James W. Bartholomew, instructor of bacteriology at SC, is in Detroit this week attending the national meeting of the American Society of Bacteriologists. He will present a paper to the society covering his latest series of experiments with the staining of Neisseria bacterium.
Among the many groups in which bacteria may be classified are the general classifications called “gram-negative” and “gram-positive.” These classifications are arrived at by following a staining procedure that ultimately produces a blue or red color in the organism depending upon its class. This method is valuable because each class has about 25 recognized characteristics peculiar to the division of gram-stain under which it falls.
One of the most notable characteristics of the gram-positive organism is its susceptibility to the penicillin and sulfa drugs. This characteristic has long been taught to students of bacteriology who have been told that gram-positive organisms are subject to treatment by penicillin and that gram-negative organisms are not.

“I have no presidential or political ambitions whatsoever,” declared Donald M. Nelson, former chairman of the war production board, in an exclusive statement to the Daily Trojan following his talk to the Beverly Hills community forum Tuesday evening.

Nelson, who rose from a laboratory assistant to become executive vice-president and chairman of the board of Sears Roebuck and company, stated that science is still his first love, and his secret life ambition has been to teach chemistry in college.

During his speech to the forum, of which Dr. Wilbert L Hindman, assistant professor of political science, is moderator. Nelson emphasized that the United States cannot enjoy prosperity while there is chaos in the rest of the world.
“The United States should strive to expand industry in every nation of the world and to trade with every nation of the world. Through multilateral trade agreements we can produce the greatest amount of happiness, the highest standards of ,irin(r	srrpatest volume
