The progress of atomic research in ..'the United States during the past four years had not been satisfactory. The programme was inefficient because _ it was frustrated bv the mistaken desire •'on the part of Congress and the public tct : protect us against the loss of ‘‘the Secret.” “I view the acquiring of the bomb by Russia as exceedingly ominous.” said Dr. Urey.
