BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 1—Dlscover_v of the s cutaneous splitting of ur- anium a oms by Russians, announ- ced in connection with the awnrd of Stalin Medals, is not the dis- covery of anything not already done by American and other Allied atomic scientists. But the great significance in the Russian dispatches today ls the surprising fact that the Russians did all this apparent lytvvo or more year: ago. That means they have been working o1: atomic energy for years, an can scientists ve been asserting. It also boar: out the contentions of Allied scientists that the Rus- sian scientists are among the best In the world, and quite compo t on elr own to learn bow to make atomic bombs. The spontaneous splitting of atoms of uranium 295, the kind that make: bombs. was described more than once in n army report lulled gust day: af er note y told of th - splittln but how it is useful ' th for sett n: off the explosion o an atomic bomb and how it can start an atomic fire spontaneously. The Russian dispatches have not been specific es to whether the p e was awarded for learning that atom: of uranium 2'38 also split spontaneously. This type of uranium is non-explosive and does not make the heat of atomic fires. What the value of splitting these 238 atoms may be has not been re- en interesting scien- i| also an indication of the peculiar nature of uranium, and the importance of this pecul- iar nature is the fact that "most other atoms do not possess any such kind of spontaneous-splitting abilities. That means that the present kind of splitting to get atomic energies seems to be con- fined to the three natural metallic elements, uranium. protactinlum and thorium and the new synth- etic metal, plutonium.

In the August proposals, the Dominion asked for exclusive rights on personal income, corp- oration and inheritance taxes. On- tarlu led the opposition to this re- quest, adying it wanted to share income and corporation taxes and have exclusive rights on such tax- es as inheritance, gasoline, amuse- ments, electricity, race track pari- mutuals, and security transfers. Quebec joined in the opposition to granting the Dominion exclus- ive rights on succession duties. New Brunswick and Nova Scotla wer opposed to giving up the tax fieldes without the Dominion mak- ing a clear definition of the tax fields it would use and those it would not use. As the opposition developed, the Federal authorities oflered to boost a proposed per capita subsidy to the provinces from $12 to £15. This did not dispel the opposition.
