An officially unconfirmed story from Buenos Aires has indicated that Argentina’s well‐publicized attempt to produce thermonuclear energy for industrial purposes has finally fizzled out. According to a special dispatch to The New York Times, written by Edward A. Morrow and datelined December 4, all three hundred workers at the secret Huemul Island laboratory on Lake Nahuel Huapi near the Pategonian town of San Carlos de Bariloche are reported to have been dismissed, and laboratory director Ronald Richter is said to have been arrested by the Argentine government.
