carelessness than in the false belief that there is real security
in the protection of atomic secrets.
Atomic secrets are secret only in a relative sense. There
ia no secret about uranium and wh£t it is and how its atoms
are exploded. Those things are common knowledge among
scientists of many nations, and uranium is available in many
parts of the world. The first uranium atom was not split in
America; this was done in Germany. The point is that we
jannot hope to hold the atomic secret from the world by
hiding It behind barred laboratory windows.
Reasonable security surrounding American atomic op-
erations should be continued; that is common sense. But we
should not allow the recurrent scandals about atomic security
to l<ad us to center all attention on protecting atomic secrets,
believing t hat therein lies national safety.

fcor him. That was the beginning, had been urged on southward at
Bat do you suppooo that blanket a hard run, and there’d been ho
man way. for Alessan-
dro's crew had been closing in on
the ranch and the quarry they’d
cornered. And thus had the For*
lorners been in on the fighting
finish.
Below this house, down along
the main street of the town, those
same Forlomers filled the saloons,
the men of the valley celebrating
the freedom that had been be-
stowed upon them by Rayburn's
formal
emor’s
Rumor had it that Sheriff Frank
Busby and his deputies, had lined
out of town earlier, and the betting
ran that the lawmen who’d played
Alessandro’s game would never
show themselves in the Tumble-
rocks again. The jail was filled to
bursting with Alessandro's cap-
tured crew, and Singin’ Sam had
elected himself temporary sheriff.
“Ain’t a man in the Tumblerocks
knows more about the inside of
that caboose than me,” he de-
clared when stating his qualifica-
tions.
BuUnow there was one last tale
to be told, a page from Clark Rgy-
burn’s^past, and the others had
waited patiently for the telling.
An old wine had mellowed Ray-
bum, a new contentment had taken
the shadows from his eyes, and he
smiled upon his two daughters
who were seated side by side on
a divan, the one so blonde, the
other dark and exotic.
“I met your mother in Mexico
City, some twenty-five years ago,”
he said. “I was a professional
gambler then, a man who’d done
a lot’ of roving. But I knew I’d
found what I’d been seeking when
I saw hen and I began courting
her at once. I had rivals, of course
—many of them—and one was Se-
ton Alessandro, whose relationship
to the Brenandanos was very dis-
tant.
“Your mother chose me. Don’t
ask me why; I'll always marvel
that she married a gringo gambler
who had nothing to offer her but
promises when she might have had
the pick of the world. We came
to the States afterwards, and at
last to Grasshopper Gulch where
there was news of a gold strike.
By then the two of you had been
born; you first, Hope, and Laa two
years later.”
“And Alessandro was In Grass-
hopper Gulch," Singin’ Sam inter-
jected, remembering the tale Go-
pher Joe Gravelly had told Ute
False SecwR^-
Ever since the world learned, through the explosion ati
Hiroshima, about the atomic bomb, there has been an idea
that the atomic bomb is a wholly American secret, that if
this secret can only be protected securely enough it can be
fofrever a terrible sword with which America can be armed
against the rest of the world. This Is a false and tragic idea.
But it is being perpetuated, for the public and for many high
officials. Such things as the Washington uproar over disap-
pearance of a bottle of uranium from the Chicago laboratory taking into consideration such
help to foster the false idea, because of the great stress laid
on physical protection of everything connected with atomic
energy.
All possible security should be maintained for military
atomic research. That is basic. Carelessness in handling this
great force is intolerable. But there Is no greater danger in to four weeks,’ and this type
of spraying will also have to
be repeated to maintain the
maximum effectiveness of the
DDT throughout
“season.”

Rayburn nodded. “Sometimes I
think he knew every move we
made and followed us. He still
loved D«na, I know, and he was
never the kind to give up when
he desired something. But Donna
died, in Grasshopper Gulth the first
winter, and I’d have been willing
to die too, except that I had you
girls to raise. And the Irony of
it was that I was rich—rich enough
to have given your mother every-
thing. My claim in the gulch had
paid off as well as Alessandro’s,
which was one of . the best.”
“And you got into that card
game then?” Chip asked.
“That was part of Alessandro’s
scheming; I can see*it now,” Ray-
bum said. “Donna was gone, but
he hated me the more because hia
chance of taking her from me was
gone too. He wanted me ruined,
and he ruined me In that game,
stripping me of, everything I
owned. That's what made me des-
perate. I had my girls to raise,
and I’d let everything I possessed
cross that table. So I made that
one last deal—the deal whereby !
staked myself against what I’d
lost. And lost again on the turn
of a crooked card, though I didn't
know that till last night.”
“And you never welshed on a
deal like that!" Ives marveled.
Raybum shook his head. “Td
been a professional gambler, and
that made it a matter of honor.
Alessandro was likely taking that
into account. But he insisted that
I turn Lia over to him: she waa
to be his hostage, his assurance
that I’d keep the bargain I’d made.
He had another reason, of course.
Hope was my girl, blonde and
blue-eyed, but Lia was her mother
all over again. The love that Seton
Alessandro had lost had been
transferred to the image of Donna
Brenandano. And so Lia went to
live with him, and Hope went to
an academy in Helena, where I
registered her under the Anglicized
version of her mother'a maiden
name.
“Alessandro had come to Tum-
blerock by then, bringing hia gold !
from Grasshopper Gulch. And .
here he found out about the out-
law sanctuary of Forlorn Valley
to the north, and saw the possi-
oun.
