College Physicists Are Skeptical Of Peron's Atomic Energy Claim

Skepticism of Juan D. Peron's announcement of an Argentine new method for "controlled liberation of atomic energy," was the general feeling of most University physicists last night.

President Peron claimed that his scientists have produced atomic energy by "thermonuclear reactions" in a manner similar to the way "the sun releases atomic energy" and that they did not use uranium in the process.

However, Julian S. Schwinger, professor of Physics, feels that "it is improbable to get the high temperatures necessary for fusion other than by plutonium or uranium explosions."

Wendell H. Furry, associate professor of Physics, said that the state of scientific development in Argentina is not high and because of this he is quite skeptical of Peron's statement.
