Cool Stars Could Boost Hydrogen Bomb Effort
The article discusses how cooler red giant stars, at about 1,000,000 degrees, may inform hydrogen bomb design by suggesting a booster using heavy hydrogen. It notes Bethe's theory of stellar energy, deuterium and tritium research, and the possibility of a built in primer reaching 20,000,000 degrees to trigger rapid fusion analogous to stellar processes.

Truman spells out priorities at news conference
President Truman outlined six points at a Washington news conference. He supports a constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college but doubts ratification will come before the 1952 elections. He warned he will invoke the Taft Hartley act for coal emergencies and did not rule out further actions under the law. He said there is no new hydrogen bomb announcement yet but international control inspections are needed before banning atomic weapons, and he pressed for an FEPC bill. He declined comment on the Missouri refloat or possible deactivation and suggested a Republican governor should join the Democratic Party. He added the amendment would require two thirds in the House and three fourths of states to become law. He warned it will not become law in 1952.
