Kashmir Is an integral part of
India, it can be compared with the
position of California in the United
States.
India Not Theocratic
India is not a theocratic state,
many religious minorities are re-
spected in the country. "Fortu-
nately or unfortunately, Hindus
and Moslems are a part of the
same nation and the Moslems in
Wethy Elected
I Academy
Prof. Harold E. Wethey of the
Fire Arts department was recently
elected to the Royal Academy of
Fine Arts of San Fernando.
Honored for his research and
contribution to knowledge of
Spanish art, the award represents
the maximum recognition given to
a foreign art historian by the
Spanish society.
The authority on Spanish art
and Spanish colonial art and sculp-
ture in Peru is presently working
on a book on El Greco. His latest
book on the life and work of
Alonso Cano, a Spanish artist of
the 17th century, was published
last year.

Kashmir are respected as other
minorities are in India."
Ind dia has always accepted
United Nations resolutions if they
are fair. "Can India accept enemy
troops, such as the U.N.E.F. in its
own land?" Srivastva questioned.
Unfavorable opinions toward
Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru were expressed by the rep-
resentatives of many nations.
Fikret Semin of Turkey com-
mented, "Nehru preaches one
thing and practices another."
'Not Peace Angel'
Reichert said, "Nehru has been
extremely over-estimated by the
free world, he is not a peace angel,
he is an Indian nationalist."
Jose Armilla of the Philippines
compared Nehru with Chou En-
Lai. Both are .two-faced and must
be dealt with in a shrewd manner
as if they have no moral preten-
tions, he said.
Armilla further advocated use
of force by the United States in
settling the dispute.
Arthur Bekeover stated the po-
sition of the United States in the
debate pointing out that the U.S.
was the co-sponsor of six of the
eleven resolutions solving the
Kashmir problem which were
vetoed by Krishna Menon, Indian
delegate to the United Nations.
He concluded all nations are en-
titled to self determination.

fourth in a series of nine articles
concerning the atom, atomic energy,
its utilization and the important
scientists who contributed to the ad-
vancement of the atomic age.)
By GERALD LUNDY
Perhaps the most curious and
mystifying natural phenomena
known to man fs that property of
some metals called radiation.
How does a metal such as uran-
ium or radium release rays which
at once are harmful and benefi-
cial to life?
To answer this question one
must look back nearly 50 years
after the death of Dalton.
In 1895 a giant step in the di-
rection of harnessing the energy
of the atom was taken in the sun-
lit laboratory of ,Wilhelm Roent-
gen, a German physicist.
He worked with an oddly
shaped glass tube which gave off
a pale glow at one end.
The tube, an electron tube, has
at its opposite ends negatively
and positive charged plates con-
nected to an electric circuit.
Opposites Attract
Invisible to the eye, a stream of
negatively charged particles dash
about in the vacuum tube in a
mad rush for the positively
chargedsplaterbecause opposite
electrical charges attract each
other.
At the end where the electrons
seem to strike the wall of the tube
a green glow flickers.
Suddenly the experimentor was
surprised by a weird sight. A
fluorescent screen which he was
using in his experiments began
to glow in the semi-darkness al-
though there weren't any stray
electrons in the room to cause it
to glow.
Then he placed his hand be-
tween the electron tube and the
screen and was amazed to dis-
cover he could seen the bones of
his own hand in the greenish glow
of the screen.
New Discovery
Roentgen at once knew he had
discovered a hitherto unknown
ray and because he didn't know
its nature, he called it "X-ray."
Following Roentgen's discovery,
the French scientist Becquerel in
1896 made experiments with the
fluorescence electrons make when
they come to sudden halts against
hard objects.
His materials included uranium,
a metal known to make certain
materials fluorescent under spe-
cial conditions.
Becquerel placed uranium salts
in thick wrappers and placed this
small bundle on an undeveloped
photograph plate.-
After developing the film he
found that in places the film had
been exposed by the action of rays
similar to X-rays..

The famous French scientistsa
Pierre and Marie Curie took the
next step in the study of radia-
tion which ultimately would lead
to the collapse of the then cur-
rent concept of the indestructible
atom.
For a while the two worked onlyI
with uranium ore samples, butI
they wanted some material which
had a stronger radiation property.
The Curies
They found what they were
seeking in radium - a metal so
radioactive that a tiny bit of it
emits light in darkness-2,000,000
times more radioactive than uran-
ium.
Expecting that radiation was
related to electrons they used a
magnet to deflect any negatively
charged particles (electrons) to
its positive pole since opposite
charges attract
The devised a primitive ances-
tor to the modern nuclear gun -
a block of lead with a spherical
hollow inside connected to the
outside by a small channel
through which particles could es-
cape in a straight line.
To the front of the gun's
"muzzle" a fluorescent screen was
placed because a charged particle
halting suddenly, releases rays
causing a minute flash on the face
of the screen.
The Curies obviously expected
charged electron particles to
prompt this action.
Any Particle
If unhampered, any particle
could fly to the screen in a
straight line making a continuous
flash on the face of the screen
if they landed on the same spot.
But if they were deflected be-
cause of the charge that they beat
due to the effect of the magnet
they would appear irregularly at
differing points on the screen.
At the first, firing particles
were deflected to the negative
pole of the magnet. These par-
ticles bore positive charges. Marie
called them Alpha rays.
Other particles were attracted
to the positive pole hence bearing
a negative charge. They were
named Beta rays.
But one true ray was evident
and since a ray can neither be
positive nor negatively charged
its light remained in one place on
the screen, uneffected by the
magnet. This ray was called the
Gamma ray - similar to the X-
ray only more powerful.

sion of the Riding Club, will meet
