"KY lJfllJect" near Sukhum port on the Black Sea.) Prof. P. I. Lukiaky. reaearch expert, was credited with m. n. omlc disintegration discovery. (Atomic disintegration 1| a term generally used to describe the bmibsivn of ratio-active raysfrom atoms. The Russians apparently made no claim concerning atom splitting or of gaining the gnaw- ledke which would enable tlmm to manufacture an atomic bomb.) Details or Lukiskys experiments were not published. U O O The apparent explanation of the Russian experiments on at- atomic disintegration appeared in a recent article in the transact- ions of the academy o! sciences or the USSR... written by Luk- islry and Peftlov. Thla article dealt with mesons, sometimes called heavy electrons or mesotrons. Those are particles of mysterious origin found in cosmic rays in the earth's at- mosphere. about 200 times heav- ier than electrons. ‘These mesons may have either positive or negative charges of electricity. When the negative meson hits the nucleus oi an atom. this meson ‘is cnptured— that is, it. enters tile atom’; nuc- leus. The result is an unstable atom. which possesses too much maaa ur- ioo much energy-—tha mass and the energy of the add- ed meson. The Russians expressed the theory that the nucleus which haa taken on this additional load gets rid of it, possibly by break- ing up. The Soviet scientists ventured the opinion that some of the lighter weight atoms. like those 0f carbon. nitrogen and ‘oxygen when thus hit by a meson, broke up completely. Such a break-up would be disintegration.

1. Use of oxygen at less pressure than has been customary.

‘Bread Rationing To ‘Continua: In Britain

LONDON, Nov. 25--(AP)—Fo0d Minister Sirarhey told the House of Commons today that the stop- page of the soft coal industry in the United Slates “has added a further and more serious compli- cation" to the difficul‘ British food problem and that there 1s “no possibility" of abolishing bread ra- tioning now. ‘Transport difficulties, springing from Maritime strikes in the Un- ited states, have put British grain stocks "very much below” stocks held a year ago. World grain sun- pliea, he said, are about 10000000 tons short of needs for the 1946-47 year. Even this gap may be widened in actual effect hy strikes kn the United States "which have grave- ly affected the ability of both Can- adian and United Slates aflhnr- ities to move wheat for export.”

Savings Bonds Sales Top First, Second War Loans

By ITARCY WDONNELL

OTTAWA. Nov. ZS-AOPJ-Sub- lcriptions in the first month of sales of Canada savings bonds surpassed the amounts subscribed in the first. and second war loans in 1940 and 194i, a survey dis- closed today.

From Oct. l4, when the Canada bonds went on sale, to Nov. 15, approximately 1,149,180 Canadians subscribed more than $467,223,- 850. Subscriptions in the first. war loan totalled $250,000,000 and in the second $824,945,000.

Biggest previous loan wee the 32.000.000.000 ninth victory loan in 1045.

These amounts were subscribed 1n the first eight victory 1oans:-

Eighth, 91.500.000.000: seventh, 31.500.079.000; sixth, 01.407.576.000; fifth. $1.374,992,000; fourth, $1,- 3083116000; third, $991,339,000; second, $843,127,000; first, $730,- 376,000.

Finance officials said 1t was difficult to compare the sales of Canada bonds with those o1 vic- tory or war loan bonds because of the difference 1n the length and type of the sale campaigns.

For instance, the victory and war loan bonds were sold mainly during the three-week campaigns. In each campaign there was a house-to-house canvas for aub- scriptions. Business and industry made special efforts to have em- ployees subscribe. Press. radio and other means of advertising were used to spur sales.

Most of this fanfare was lack- ing when the Canada bond sales were inaugurated, but still there was good response from Canad- ians. ' '
