it was becoming clear from ‘ililfDl-IBII investigation of clam- izirming methods that despite a l iriiintiod strong demand, the low - itiYlh rates of the soft-shelled i"'illl made clam farming imprac- . cable in most areas.

Principle 0t New Powerful Bomb Knoym

By Howard W. Blakeslee Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK. Jan. 6 —-(APl - The hydrogen bcmb. 1,000 times stronger than the A-hcmb, which Senator Brien McMahon tDem Conn.) said Thursday might. come up for consideration by the Joint Senate-House atctiiie committee. ls not a secret in principle.

How to make a hydrogen bomb. and also s helium bomb. both presumably thousands of times stronger than present bombs. are as well known in principle as was the AJbomb.

A hydrogen bomib would work on the opposite principle to an A- bcmtb. Instead of splitting to get energy. it would use synthesis, the building up of a chemical ele- ment.

Hydrogen. the chemical element. ordinarily has a weight of one. meaning its nucleus contains only one particle Hydrogen of double weight. is also known. and is what is commonly called heavy water. A wartime discovery is triple-weight hydrog- en, called tritiuirn.

Each differs from hW-wfln by
