ROYAL TIRES & TUBES TIRE RECAPPING AND VULCANIZING 518 SOUTH MAIN STREET TELEPHONE 530 TIFTON, GEORGIA Uranium in Israel (Continued from page 5) New York, for at once the scientists were besieged by newsmen, and the papers were full of vague in formation, long-forgotten and re vived statements. Scientists are a queer species and never like to talk about their work. Thus, Professor Ernest Bergman, man of the Atomic Energy Commis sion, stepped in with an explana tory radio statement which was to do away with all the guesswork and for the moment — put an end to all the discussion. Yes, he said, uranium ore has been found and a quantity has been extracted out of phosphates . . . and yes, there is a good chance that Israel will produce uranium on an in dustrial scale . . . and yes, research is being done at the VVeizmann In stitute m the field of cosmic rays as alternative and cheaper means of investigation and training of nu- lear physicists than the terribly ex pensive establishment of giant cy clotrons or atomic piles oi reactors The Hebrew University and the Haifa Technion, Professor Berg man said, are cooperating in many research fields.

But these dreamers are getting a lot of cold showers. Many many years will yet have to pass, even with the UN's approval of President Eisen hower s "Atoms for Peace" project, before such dreams may become feasible. But they can right be proud of the conrtibution which Israeli sci entists are making in the field of nuclear research. That was what the late President Weizmann had always striven for; scientific prog ress. he insisted, does not depend on the size of a country, hence, even the smallest state can become important if it excels in the field of science. In his mind's eve he had always seen Israel as an ex porter of her scientific discoveries. He died two years ago. The Iso tope Department of his center of scientific research and development began its experiments long before then. Maybe he died knowing that Israel was well on the way to mak ing a significant contribution to the progress in nuclear physics? OF TIFTON TIFTON. GEORGIA Drive in Banking (iarson Bros.
