(Special to The Bulletin)
MOBILE, Ala.—The cosmic ray
has potentialities of becoming a
greater power than the now pre

energy in the opinion of Father

winner of the Nobel prize for his

ishing the secqnd half of his re
port of the observations that he
and Dr. Hess conducted with
telescopes atop the Empire State
Building in New York City and at
Fordham University.
“Primarily, we are trying to
find out just what constitutes a
cosmic ray.” Father Benedetto
said. “We know the ray is there,
but we are trying to discover
just what the ray is composed of,
so that we can pass it on to other
workers in Hie field of science.’’
Father Benedetto is a native of
Macon, Ga., the son of Mrs. Aris
tide A. Benedetto and the late Mr.

Benedetto. He and his brother, Fa
ther Arnold Joseph Benedetto, and
their first cousin, Father Edward
A. Sheridan, also of Macon, were
ordained as priests of the Society
of Jesus in 1944.
Father Frank Benedetto attend
ed Spring Hill College from 1929
through 1931. In 1938 he taught
physics at the college.
At present, he and Professor
Hess, who discovered the cosmic
ray in 1936, are members of the
taculty at Fordham University. He
plans to return to New York this
month with the final half of his
prepared report which will be pub
lished this fall in Physics Review.
Father Benedetto declared that
atomic power, especially the bomb,
is ten per cent below its expected
efficiency. “The cosmic ray has
possibilities of becoming a greater
energy than the atom," he said.
Professor Hess and Father Bene
detto erected a special telescope
atop the Empire State Building
<1,125 feet above sea level) and
used it simultaneously with an
other telescope at Fordham (142
feet above sea level). The two sci
entists caught and measured
enough of the rays to prove what
they thought all the time. That
the cosmic ray, when it comes to
rest, lives only two micro-seconds,
or two one-miUionths of a second,
whether atop the Empire State
Building or on the grounds of
Fordham University.
Some scientists have advanced
the idea that rays mip t live long
er or less in higher altitudes than
those at ground level. The studies
of these two scientiests prove that
cosmic rays show no weakening
during their final 300 yards to
ward earth.
Father Benedetto explained the
cosmic ray as a powerful compo
nent of secondary rays commonly
known as npeson or mesotron. “It
has many possibilities,” he declar
ed. “But at present wo are trying
to find out just what it is.”
ON THE SECOND ANNIVER

dren’s convalescent home was pre

Dedicated for Society

DEDHAM, Mass., — (NC) —
Thousands of the laity and many
priests attended the dedication

to aid in sending missioners to that
continent. He pointed out that dur
ing the past year the archdiocese
has had “more vocations to the
