ATOMIC COMMUNITY:
Los Alamos Safer Than

Most Townsm
By FRANCES LITTLE
"Los Alamos is much safer than
most communities its size in the
United States," Raemer E. Schrei-
ber, physicist staff member of the
Los Alamos atomic research sci-
entific laboratory, declared in an
interview yesterday.
He and his fellow staff member,
Vernal Josephson, were in Ann
Arbor interviewing doctorial can-
didates interested in working at
the laboratory.
THE NEW MEXICO town, with
a population of about 9,000, has
about the eighth best fire record,
for its size, in the country, Schrei-
ber reported. There is much less
crime, because all residents have
been investigated to insure that
they have no criminal record and
have "stable characters."
As to risk of explosion, "if
anything is more dangerous than
riding to Santa Fe, 32 miles
away, we don't do it,",he assert-
ed.
"There has been no serious ac-

U' Symphony t
To Play for
LocalChildren
The children of Ann Arbor will
be treated to some serious music
when the University Symphony
under Wayne Dunlap gives its
children's concert at 3 p.m. today
in Hill Auditorium.
The concert, narrated by Harold
R. Etlinger, '50, will begin with a
trio of musical numbers in the
classical vein - Mozart's Overture
to "Cosi Fan Tutte," his "Sym-
phonie Concertante for Violin and
Viola" and his "Symphonie Con-
certante for Oboe, Clarinet, Horn
and Bassoon.
Following, the group will sing
"America the Beautiful," and the
orchestra will play the "Toy Sym-
phony" by Haydn.
Etlinger will then narrate "Tub-
by the Tuba" -- the orchestra ac-
companying.
At the end of the concert, the
audience will get a chance to hear
something modern in Vaughn Wil-
liams' Overture to "The Wasps."
The concert is open to pupils
from the fourth grade through
high school and admssion is by
ticket, awarded by the various
schools. Teachers will be along to
chaperone the groups.
There will be a limited number
of seats in the second balcony for
the public - but parents should
not expect to be admitted by ac-
companying young children.
UWF Elects
Carl Markle, Grad., was elected
president of the United World
Federalists list night at the Un-
ion. He succeeded Florence Baron,
'50

cident in the laboratory since
1946."
Schreiber emphasized that the
community is not so abnormal as
outsiders believe. "People there
are as ornery as people anywhere,"
he proclaimed.
SECURITY REGULATIONS areE
at a minimum outside of the
plant. All residents have a per-
manent pass, which is shown at
the main gate when entering or
leaving the "hill."
Except for the restricted area,
which requires a special badge
for entrance, residents have com-
plete freedor in the town, he
said. There are no restrictions
on social visitors, except that a
form must be filled out for them.
All homes and stores are gov-
ernment-owned, rented from the
Atomic Energy Commission, he ex-
plained. "Standard rents" are
charged, ranging from $30 to $75 a
month for apartments with one to
four bedrooms. Those who want
to own their homes may do so in
the Rio Grande valley, 20 miles
away.
LOS ALAMOS people are young-
er than most; their average age
is in the early thirties, according
to Schreiber. Consequently, there
are a great many children, espec-
ially between six and eight years
old.
"There are many advantages to
living in Los Alamos. Not only is
it one of the safest plaoes, with
little danger of theft or fire, but
there are no door-to-door peddlers
and no unemployment," Schreiber
concluded.
Speech Class

University extension course, is be-
ing given again here, because of its
great popularity, Mrs. Charles A.
Fisher, supervisor of class pro-
