Break-Through (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) MOSCOW, August 22.
Russia today claimed to have discovered a new type of radio-active decay called proton radio-activity. Soviet scientists have hailed the step as a major break-through in nuclear research. “Izvestia” said proton radioactivity had been predicted by world scientists, but noone had been able to prove it experimentally. Five types of radio-active decay had been known to scientists before: alpha-radio-activity, beta-radio-activity, gamma-radio-activity, spontaneous fission and emission of so-called delayed neutrons.
Solomons ’Quake.— Strong earthquake tremors shook the Solomon Islands for three hours from 6.31 a.m. today. The centre of the earthquake has not yet been ascertained and no damage has been reported.—Honiara, August 23.
