At tlie "iiulitule" in Washington, authorities will explain Just what effect atomic energy can have on yur life if you are one of those who aren't going to be destroyed by it. 1 wui going to any "one of the lucky ones." but you won't be lucky. If atomic warfare starts, even If you are among those whose live are spared. We have all heard a lot of dirt prophecies about what the atom bomb can do, if It once gets on Ilia loose. Also, what wemdera atomic energy can perform In building a better world. If It Is cunflned to peaceful and productive activity. But by far tha most Impressive footnote on the subject caine to me In the repeated words of a scientist speaking not sdentiAcally, or for quotation, but very Intimately of lilt own private thuughts, and bis Own personal plana. lie has lectured a great deal on the subject of atornle energy, and Is one of those intimately concerned with Its development. Suddenly, one day ha realized that he had better make some personal plana to prepare for tha futura In thla atomic aga of which ha had apoken so much. Ills work la near ana of tha everal prlma targets of any enemy bomba that would ba dropped. Mid-Jiic- Hru'uiiiri No Re fug From ABomb So ha began to consider. Should ha try to get transferred to some mailer institution, located In a little town? That, ha considered, would not help much. Ha has a farm, but ha is not a farmer. Should he move onto the farm Immediately, learn aa much as ha could about farming, and plan to live Uiera where he would be comparatively aafef Tha farm la far from any large city, tucked In the hills. Then he started planning. He weald have te learn a lot mere than farming. He woatd have te learn to card wool, far bla wife would have te leare te spin, te weave, la make neap, to fabricate all tho things yon bay In alorea. Ha would have to lay In tools, and enough other supplies to last him tha rest of his lifetime. Well, perhaps all that could be done. Tlien ha realized that even at that, he wouldn't be safe. He would have to build barbed wire entanglements, and obtain machine guns and other weapons with which to defend himself for with the who escaped, starving, refugee from the cities, the few who had food would be at the mercy of the hungry mobs. If X had heard those statements from a lecture platform, or read them In a magazine, I might have passed them by as sensationalism. But the statements weren't In a magazine, or spoken from a platform. They wrre said over the luncheon table In the quiet corner of a club. The speaker wasn't trying to "sell" hi idea to anybody. Ha wasn't trying to persuade anybody to do anything, or to. get publicity. He waa thinking out loud about what he considered an acuta personal problem. In the end it left him banted. There ia no defense. Tha only hope I to make the United Nations work. I heard tills story, and was moved by it. I waa already pretty well stirred upt because 1 had Just learned of what deep concern this question Is to more than threa thousand people who wrote me, asking for a pamphlet I had mentioned In one of my broadcasts. That ia an Interesting atory, too, that I want to pass on. One day, I received a Utile pamphlet among the several bushel of handout material which I the grist of the publicity mills dumped on press and radio desks aU over the country every day. ... BARBS .

I limited the requests to people In the following categories: Insur ance men, salesmen, real estate men, teachers, clergymen, median- les, utilities worker, scientist and merchants. I did tills, first, because I wanted to limit the number of applicants and second, because the article run- to tnfned specific lusli actions what the pimple In the groups named could do to help prevent a cataclysmic war. 1 blandly over-- : looked the fact that iimebidy had to address envelopes, Insert the pamphlets, mail them out. Public Interemted In Prevention Requests began to arrive, so I called up the National Committee on Atornle Information which Is near the Washington office of the Western Newspaper Union: ordered the pamidilel; and had the nerve to ask tii committee to mall them out. 1 didn't know It then, but It coats tha committee, which la, of course, a organization and skimps along on a handful of small cash donations, four cents for the pamphlet, a ent and a half for the lamp, two cenla to address tha envelope, another cent to Insert, seal and malll Eight and a half cents, My generous gesture altogether. toward preserving civilization had turned out to bo rattier lame.
