New Faces In 'Cane Line-Up Start Against Florida Cagers

(Continued from Page Six) work against Tampa and seems headed for a big season. Whether he will develop any scoring ability remains to be seen for he took a footballer who has had little time for basketball drilling. Ferrera is a sound if not flashy player. As a freshman playing his first college ball against Tampa, he can be expected to improve. Guyer is a transfer from N. Y., and his experience includes three years in high school and two in the Army. Chief flaw in this team is that all of the scoring seems centered on Cobb and Friedman, and unless one of the other trio adds some scoring punch, it is possible that Coach Morris may have to begin some experimenting to get some other player into the lineup who can score. Final practice for the Hurricanes for the Florida series will be staged Thursday afternoon. The varsity games get underway at 8:30 each night with the freshmen playing the Miami Naval Air Station at 7 p.m. each night.

Sports Parade

(Continued from Page Six) troit Tigers, being one of their most brilliant stars during an 11-year career, interrupted by four years in the army. Coming back in mid-season of 1945, it was Greenberg whose booming bat swept the Tigers into the World Series. Bothered by that ailing arm, Big Hank hit only .251 last season for the Pirates, his poorest season at the plate since he started with Hartford in 1930. "But I still hit 25 home runs," he said defensively. "That's more than a lot of other players got." Yet it wasn't enough for the Pirates, who gave Greenberg his release. Cleveland made a bid for him, Hank said, "and a couple of other teams." With wasn't considering continuing in the game, it is inconceivable that Greenberg would have gone under the knife. Supporting that theory, Hammerin' Hank said he would play "a lot of squash to get in shape." "I conferred with Bill Veeck (president of the Cleveland Indians) this week about buying a minor league team," Greenberg said. "But that deal fell through so I don't know what happens from here. "Yes, I talked to Veeck about playing," he admitted. "But I haven't decided yet what to do." So the big fellow who always dreamed of playing with the New York Yankees, and almost quit the game after his sale to Pittsburgh, waits anxiously for Thursday and the unveiling of his "new" arm. Meanwhile, he talks disconsolately of going into "some other business." But he isn't kidding anybody. If the arm shapes up he'll be in somebody's spring training camp. "Yeah, you can't tell," he admitted. "You know ball players are funny. They'll tell you they're quitting and then along comes spring and they get that old itch to step up to the plate." And Hank Greenberg is all ball player!

PUZZLE

Says Any A-Bomb Secret Is Beyond Soviet Reach

By JOSEPH J. BAICICH | UP Staff Correspondent | ROME (UP) — Prof. Giovanni Giorgi, one of Italy's foremost physicists, contends that the atomic bomb is not a "scientific" but a technical secret and that the Soviet Union cannot produce it "within foreseeable time." Giorgi, 76, returned recently from a government mission to the United States ti investigate modern methods of the telephone industry. He said the United States is the only country which succeeded in producing "not one but three so-called atomic bombs" and that it is now applying radar's "electric eye" to it. Giorgi pointed out in an interview that he had written in his book, "The Smashing of the Atom," that the "secret of the technique" of the atom bomb is protected by a "thousand executive details, every one of which is well known to a different person." | Reasons Listed | He listed three other reasons for the "secret": 1—The necessity of having simultaneously a large number of scientific laboratories directed by men who have devoted their lives to the study of nuclear physics. 2—The necessity of providing mighty industrial plants, the personnel of which is trained by devotion of their lives in acquiring skill in certain special operations. 3—The enormous difficulty of co-ordinating and combining the work of so many persons and so many specialized technical plants. Giorgi is the father of the system of handling electrical units named after him and adopted throughout the world (Das Georgische Masse System). He said that to obtain any of the "terrible nuclear explosives" and utilize them in putting together the A-bomb, it is necessary to obtain uranium and graphite and many other products which are absolutely purely and specially treated. | Many Experts Needed | To "purify" any one of those products, he said, such colossal industrial plants as the U. S. Du Pont Company had to contribute their skill. He added that in such important plants, a "legion of chemists, physicists and technicians" have devoted their lives to mastering their specialty and have machines and instruments of different and complex structure which could not be imitated without a long preparatory period. Giorgi emphasized that certain principal operations which permit the passage from common uranium to explosive metals require "action on each individual atom to detach and assemble one by one." He said that to form one milligram of the product it is necessary to gather so many atoms as are expressed by a number formed by a digit followed by 21 zeros. Otherwise expressed, he explained, "if we worked gathering 15,-000 atoms per second and continued for two billion years—approximately the age of our planet—we would succeed in putting together a milligram of the product." He said that to collect the few tens of kilograms necessary to make an atom bomb would require a period equal to the calculated past time of the sun, if undertaken individually. "And yet the United States," Giorgi said, "has succeeded in combining so many efforts to obtain not one but many of the socalled atom bombs, which now are stored away and held ready." | Problems Complex | Giorgi, who has contacts with many American scientists, said that the Soviet Union could not produce anything similar for a long time to come. "I am convinced," he said, "that it is not impossible for another nation even endowed—like the Soviet Union, which has absorbed a great part of Germany—to succeed in producing the terrible nuclear explosives, but not from one year to the next. It would require an immense amount of effort and a period of time which it is impossible to foresee." Giorgi said he believed that future A-bombs will not be employed "so simply" as before, because "in a future war, the systematic use of new explosives would be tried up with the famed electrical ray, an integral part of radar, in the production of which other groups of factories and industries of extraordinary complexity and importance are engaged. He implied that the Soviets could not possibly match the U. S. in this field either because "the production of these radar instruments of miniature dimensions involving generators of millimetric radio waves" will take a long time even for the U. S. to perfect. He said another war would see the emergence of now unpredictable weapons and that whoever has them would not announce them to the world and "no attention should be paid to anything announced publicly."

BALD DENTIST OFFERS REMEDY FOR NON-HIRSUITE SCALPS

By ROBERT MUSEL | UP Staff Correspondent | LONDON (UP)—A dentist who begs to be anonymous, got tired of being called "The Egg" because of his bald head. He claims he grew a promising crop of hair after 25 years of walking around with a naked scalp. "I don't dare let out my name," said the dentist, a husky man of 63. "I had a few of my dental clients about it and I was delugged with phone calls, letters and personal visits from people they told about it. I'll bet every bald man in and around London has tried to get in touch. "The dentist leaned forward to display the start of a bristly brown crop on his head. "I shouldn't be surprised," he said, "if I've made some sort of important discovery about baldness. I wouldn't want to say that men with toupees can throw them away right now, but I was induced by some of my clients to let them try the treatment I devised for myself and, bless me, all of them are growing hair." If the dentist has solved this affliction—bald men regard it as such—the credit will go to his wife and three sons. | Couldn't Stand Kidding | "I lost my hair when I was 28," he said. "Unfortunately, I had a funny shaped head and my wife and kids called me 'The Egg.' It was good-natured, but it rankled, and I determined I'd grow my hair back if at all possible. "I guess I tried every lotion and cream on the market. Then I tried every quack treatment I'd ever heard of—snakebite ointment, the dew from rosebuds, even witchcraft incantations. Nothing helped." But he didn't give up. "How could I?" he asked, patting his embryo hairdo with paternal pride. "I finally decided that it had to be done with an internal treatment and an external treatment. I worked out one and showed it to a doctor. He said it was harmless and useless. "But I was desperate enough to try it and, bless me, if it didn't work. Then I tried it on some of my dental clients and it worked on them, too. I'm sort of torn between two things. Teeth are important physically but hair is important to the morale."
