Volunteer Says
Loyalists Are
Not Yet Beaten
(Continued from Page 1)
Spain today who normally have their
homes somewhere in Insurgent ter-
ritory, he said. "The most populous
cities, Madrid, Valencia and Barce-
lona, are still held by the Loyalists."
Col. Nelson expressed some confi-
dence in the government of Premier
Daladier of France as an effective
anti-fascist force. He said that as
war minister in the Blum cabinet,
Daladier submitted a report on the
Spanish. conflict in which he stated
that he would not be responsible for
the safety of France should a pro-
fascist government. be established
across the Pyrennes. "Daladier is
likely to prove much harder for Hit-
ler and Mussolini to deal with than
Chamberlain," he said.
Commenting on the steady pene-
tration of the Rebel army into Gov-
ernment territory, Col. Nelson point-
ed out that "Lee Lost the Civil War
in Pennsylvania and the Germans lost
the World War in France and Bel-
gium. Wars aren't won by territorial
acquisition, but by victory in the field
of the decisive point." ____

Dentistry Today Presents Great
Opportunities, Says Dr. Bunting
Dentistry today offers opportuni- t ership, in community status, indepen-

ties to the superior student whicht
are as attractive as those of any other,
profession, declared Dr. Russell W.f
Bunting, Dean of the School of Den-E
tistry, in an interview with the Daily
yesterday.-
',Of all the professions," Dr. Bunt-
ing pointed out, "dentistry is the,
least crowded. It offers great oppor-
tunities to the average young man
who is adapted for it. As a profes-
sion it has recently undergone a,
marked metamorphosisk in that it is
no longer purely a mechanical art but
is now an important specialty of the,
medical health sciences.
"The source of so many general
diseases has been traced to the mouth
that the infectious processes of this
region are recognized as being highly
significant to the health of the body.
The Oiractice of dentistry, there-
fore, is in reality a specialty of medi-
cine applied to the mouth, and den-
tists, who have sole charge of this
field, must be trained as true physi-
cians of the mouth. Students of den-
tistry receive the same basic train-
ing in the medical sciences as does
the physician.
hIn this field, therefore, there is
need for students of the highest
scholastic ability to prepare as health
workers in dentistry of the future.
Students who have natural tenden-
cies toward biology, medicine, and
the health sciences should be in-
formed of the opportunities that lie
in dentistry and of the health service
involved in dental practice."
Defitistry gives the new graduate
more prompt financial rewards than
any other profession, Dr. Bunting
pointed out, adding that, in addition'
to the financial returns, this profes-
sion offers advantages in the satis-
faction of giving service, in civic lead-

dence, variety of experiences and hu-
man contacts, regular hours, and'an
extended period of active and gainful
employment.
The new status of the profession,1
Dr. Bunting said, makes it importantr
no longer that the dentist have ability
only in the mechanical arts. The newt
biological and medical aspects of its
practice has opened up new fields
such as oral surgery, x-ray diagnosis,
orthodontics dentistry for children,
preventive dentistry and treatment of
pyorrhea. Furth;er, he said, there7
are widespread opportunities for stu-
dents interested in teaching and in
the abundantly fertile field of dental
research.

U.S. May Fight
Air Propaganda
State Department's Group
Now Investigating
WASHINGTON, May 19.- (R)-
President Roosevelt has asked a com-
mittee of government officials to study
alleged radio propaganda of other na-
tions in South America, a Senate com-
mnittee learned today.
H. B. Otterman, representative of
the State Department of the Interde-
partmental Committee of Radio In-
formation, explained this to the Inter-
state Commerce subcommittee con-
sidering a proposal to erect a power-
ful government radio station in this
country for broadcasts to South
America.
"The President has asked us to re-
frain from giving out -any informa-
tion or comment until he has had a
chance to study it," Otterman said.
He added that a request by Mr. Roose-
velt for further data probably would
delay the report until autumn.

Campos Physicists Transmute
Iron Into Manganese, Cobalt

_,

,IIII

By NORMAN A. SCHORR
Two members of the physics de-
partment, Prof. J. M. Cork and :Dr. B.
R. Curtis, have succeeded in trans-
muting iron into three different ra-
dioactive elements by methods of
modern alchemy.
The work was carried on by bom-
barding the iron with de terons, or
nuclei of heavy hydrogen, fired from
the cyclotron at a speed of approxi-
mately 72 million miles per hour. The
cyclotron, as Dr. Curtis explains, is
essentially a shallow, round vacuum
box placed between the poles of a
huge electromagnet. Inside the vac-
uum chamber are two flat, hollow D-
shaped high voltage electrodes.
When the deuterons smashed into
the iron target, at energies corre-
sponding to 5,500,000 electron volts,
the physicists found that some of the
iron atoms were converted into co-
balt, others into manganese and still
others int'o a new kind of iron.
They found these new products to
be radioactive, that is, emitting rays
like radium.

The probability of the formation of
any of these three new elements vas
also measured by the experimenters.
To convert one iron atom into cobalt,
which means the addition of an extra
proton in its nucleus, 4,000,000 hits
with deuterons were required. To
convert one iron atom into man-
ganese, which means that one protein
is knocked out of the iron atom's
nucleus, as high as 60,000,000 tries
were required.
According to Dr. Curtis, this illus-
trates why transmutation of elements
is still a highly unreasonable proce-
dure, though the technique is grad-
ually improving.
Similar work is being carried on in
a dozen laboratories all over the coun-
try, and although harnessing the
atom's energies is deemed impractable
at the present time by most physicists,
the work is becoming a valuable aid
to biological work in the treatment
of cancer and other ailments.
Another cyclotron, designed to at-
tain higher particle energies is under
construction in the physics lab.
