“Crazy Greek” Shows U.S. Physicists
How to Build a Better Atom Smasher
WASHINGTON, lff>—It can be
profitable to listen to a “crazy
Greek.” Especially if he’s talk
ing about atomic physics. Some
red-faced U.S. scientists discov
ered that lesson the hard way.
The story was told to a congres
sioeal subcommitte by Dr. George
K. Green of the Atomic Energy
Commission’s Brookhaven Na
tional laboratory.
Back in 1950, Green related, a
letter arrived at the University
of California radiation laboratory
at Berkeley. It was from Nicholas
Christofilos, an electrical engi
neer with- an elevator firm near
Athdns, Greece. The letter dis
cussed atom-smashers even tho,
Green said, “he had never even
seen one.”
Green called the letter “a mess”
and said the Berkeley scientists
wrote a reply telling Christofilos
of “all his errors and miscon
ceptions.”
A year later Christofilos wrote
again. But this time, Green said,
the scientists didn’t even read it,
dismissing it as “a crank letter
from that crazy Greek.” That was
the big mistake.
In 1952, Brookhaven scientists
came out with an important
atomic invention. It is known as
the “Strong Focusing Principle”
and stands to save the United
States at least 70 million dollars
in the construction of a powerful
atom-smashing machine.
Here’s the rub:
Christofilos had invented the
same thing—and a year earlier.
Green said Christofilos later
visited Brookhaven, told him of
his invention and mentioned he
had written to the California
scientists.
“They got his letter out of the
files,” Green said, “and their
faces were red.”
If they had read the letter,
Green said, the big atom-smasher
project at Brookhaven might have
been started months earlier than
it was.
Christofilos is now working at
the University -of California radi
ation laboratory at Livermore.

Japanese To Ask
U.S To Save Sled
Dogs in Antarctica
TOKYO, UP) — The U.S. ice
breaker Burton Island and, a
Japanese ship pushed through ice
toward the open sea off Antarc
tica after three Japanese scien
tists were pulled back from a
winter station.
The three were flown from the
Antarctic expedition ship Soya
Maru on Thursday as the first of
eight men to replace an U-man
party evacuated 'by air after
spending last winter on Ongul Is
land.
Chances of getting the eight
men established on the island be
fore the southern winter closed in
appeared slim and the station
may be abandoned. The Burton
Island had gone to the Soya
Maru’s aid in an effort to land
at the station which was blocked
by ice.
Fifteen sled dogs were left be
hind because the Soya Maru’s
small plane could not carry them
out when the 11 men and six
other dogs were evacuated.
The Japan Assn, for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals is
drafting a petition to President
Eisenhower for American help to
save the dogs.
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Shining brightly in the eastern
morning sky is another planet
which has not been seen so far
this winter, namely, Saturn.
Saturn is the ftost remote of
the bright planets and is there
fore the most leisurely in its
movements among the constella
tions. It revolves once in 29V£
years at the mean distance of
886,000,000 miles from the sun.
It has tire appearance of a bright
yellow star and varies in bright
ness from that of Altair, to twice,
the brilliancy of Capella.
Saturn ranks second to Jupi
ter in size and mass. Its equa
torial diameter is 74,100 miles.
I It has the lowest density, 0.7
times the density of water, and
the most prominent bulge at the
equator of any of the planets.
Its unique system of rings
makes it one of the most im
pressive celestial sights seen thru
the telescope.
Jupiter, the largest planet, is
visible at the same time as Sat
urn, but is directly south or
southwest.
