DANGER IN SECRECY: Dr. Barker Re-echoes Warning Of Other Scientists on A-Bomb > State stor To Meet Herer Annual Conference To Be Attended by 350 More than 350 ministers represent- ing Churches throughout Michigan are expected to attend the annual Pastors' Conference to be held Jan. 21-23 on the University campus. Sponsored by the University Ex- tension Service and the Michigan Council of Churches and Christian Education, the conference will be highlighted by a series of four lec- tures by Dr. Paul J. Tilliech. Forums will be held on the follow- ing topics: "Education Programs of the Church," "The Evangelistic Pro- gram of the Church" and "Social Action Program of the Church." "Scientists, in general, have ex- pressed themselves as being opposed to secrecy that will develop ill-will among nations" Dr. E. F. Barker, nead of the physics department, stated in a recent interview. He explained that the scientists "do not believe that we can prevent Torbalballa Is Moved To Math Dr. L. V. Torbalballa of the Uni- versity of the Philippines has been tranferred from the University's Army training program to a new po- sition as instructor in the math de- partment. Dr. Torbalballa, who completed his undergraduate educationin his na- tive Philippines, received his doc- tor's degree at Michigan in 1941. He has been associated with the Philip- pine government insurance system, Michigan State College, the army training program and Princeton's Institute of Advanced Study. other nations from manufacturing weapons similar to ours within a rel- atively short time." Dr. Barker emphasized America's dependence on fission, the type of ex- plosion inherent in atoms, in her de- velopment of the atomic bomb. In- formation defining fission was pub- lished widely in Germany in 1939; therefore, other nations have access to the knowledge which formed the very foundation for our experi- ments. The Atomic Scientists of Chicago repeated Dr. Barker's warning when they declared, "The greatest secret in connection with the atomic bomb was the fact that it was possible to develop it successfully. Other coun- tries should be able to produce atomic bombs in two to five years." Dr. Barker expiained, "Many sci- entists would have been relieved if they could have proved that this weapon was impossible to produce. Science wants to bring knowledge, not annihilation, to mankind." -I 4 _ / ' i t £ . G I 64 fall for aflAZ!LE PUSS! Invisible film quickly erases that seedy look.
