European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 3, 1950, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page the stars and set pipes Friday february i 1950 Hydrogen bomb gets Energy like Sun still toasted n by Paul f. Ellis new York up the Hydro Gen bomb could b 10 times More destructive and lethal than the atomic bomb that wiped out Hiroshima. Theoretically it could be a 1.000 limes More powerful. At Hiroshima about 100.000 per sons were killed and 50.000 injured. Only about one person in every dwelling within half a mile of the Center of the atomic blast escaped death or serious injury. The Hydrogen bomb at full efficiency would extend  ring of death to far greater distances and probably Ieve no survivors. For a City to be hit by the Hydrogen bomb would be like toss ing thai entire City into the Blaz ing inferno of the Sun. Just what is this Hydrogen bomb and Why would it be so much More deadly than an atomic bomb scientists frankly discussed the possibility of the Hydrogen bomb until president Truman announced  had ordered the atomic Energy commission to Start work on it. Then the lid was damped Down. However the theory of the Hydrogen bomb  been discussed in technical journals for some years. As in the Case of the atomic Energy theory it is no secret even tto the russians. In the first piece for purposes of simplification the Hydrogen bomb might be called a  bomb 1 or Star  those simple names Are suggested be cause a Hydrogen bomb exploding would be going through the process that goes on constantly in the Sun  other stars. A. School child knows that by combining Hydrogen with oxygen Ordinary water is formed. That is two atoms of Hydrogen with an atom of oxygen form one mole Cule of water. Of course there is no explosion when such fusion occur because no new element is being formed. In t in Case of the Hydrogen bomb one element heavy Hydrogen is being converted into another ele ment helium. Scientists have figured out in the atomic bomb burst at Bikini. 1,000 times less powerful Acme Wolf pack invades Camp of Alaska missionary Anchorage Alaska up a " Wolf pack attacked a Mission Ary on a mercy Mission devoured All but one of his sled dogs rip Ped their harness to shreds and Tore up his Camp  Rev. Everett Bachelder of the Wasilla children s Home said  huddled by a campfire for five Days while the wolves surrounded his dog team which had bogged Down in deep Snow. Bachelder left Wasilla by do for Chitina 400 Miles away to distribute clothing to natives. The third Day  struck deep Loose Snow near sheep Mountain and his dog team bogged Down. Suddenly about 10 wolves appeared. For four Days  too div his dogs during the Duy and burned fires at night to keep the wolves away on the fifth Day  abandoned the sled and All the dogs except two which  used for pack animals. He was walking about four Miles off Glenn Highway in the Remote sheep Mountain area when one of the dogs strayed from his Ide. The wolves pounced on it be said and i had to watch my beloved pet torn to shreds by the wolves finally  made his Way to Chickaloon Lodge with one dog. Bush Pilot Elmer Rassmussen Hunting wolves from the air  the wreckage of the sled. Be landed on the Snow and found the ripped remains of the dogs tie harnesses chewed to ribbons and the Camp wrecked. He reported to authorities who went to the scene and found per Sonal papers that led them to be Lieve Bachelder might be dead. They investigated at the mis Sion Jed found him Safe. Asked Why  did t report the incident  replied Why should i re port it thanks be to god i m alive.1 theory that acne a Toyoi particles Are lost in Uch a fusion in Ossry to Fores nuclei of Hydrogen into forming helium. Solar Energy close up a nucleus of Hydrogen is com posed of a Partick known As pro ton and another particle known a Neutron. The nucleus has a Posi Tive charge and the Law of Phy rfcs sets Down a Rule that positively charged particles repel each other. Thus it would be quite a trick to fuse four positively charged Hydrogen nuclei into b e 1 i m nucleus. In the Case of the Sun the world receives Energy which makes Plant and animal life possible. Such Energy however travels the 93.000.000 Miles separating t  Earth and Sun and arrives in proper in density so that living things on this planet Are not burned Crisp or vaporized. In the Case of a Man made solar explosion or bomb the Energy would be released at close Range. The explosion might be Only 10 times or less As Power Ful As the atomic bomb but scientists before secrecy was imposed said that in theory it could be 1,000 times As powerful. Simple principle the theory of the Hydrogen or solar bomb is comparatively simple. It is based on the Assumption that enormous amounts of Energy Are left Over when Hydrogen the lightest element known is changed into helium the second lightest element. In contrast the atomic bomb used the heaviest elements uranium and plutonium. But their operations Are As different As night and Day. In the atomic bomb atoms Are split with a resulting release of Energy once locked up inside the  the Hydrogen bomb Accord ing to the theory Energy is obtained by a building up of atoms. Hence atomic bomb explosions Are caused by fission or splitting and the Hydrogen explosions by a fusion or welding together of two different elements. Heavy Hydrogen probably would have to be  that is where atomic Energy comes into the picture again. It is known that when uranium and plutonium in an atomic bomb explode in a Chain reaction tremendous amounts of Energy an heat Are released. It was such heat and Energy that levelled Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A bomb kicker on the basis of that scientists May be thinking of using exploding uranium for plutonium to Trig Ger or release heat that will Start a Chain reaction of fusion Between Hydrogen atoms thus the Hydrogen helium bomb May be a double action  Energy first and then solar Energy resulting from the fusion of Hydrogen into helium. No scientist has made a Blue print of How the mixture of uranium or plutonium and Hydrogen. Would be placed in a Model bomb but such details probably May be regarded Asen Gine ering problems that can be overcome with  same emphasis in Force that was exercised in the drive to make the first atomic bomb.
