— i— Threatens To Bring Tax Bill To Floor Hope 1 Party Lbyalty To Prevent Action WASHINGTON, UP _ House Republican leaders voiced hopes today that “party loyalty” will keep Rep. Daniel A. Reed . from faking any drastic action to force an early floor vote on his 10 per? cent tax cut bill. V “And just in case Reed isn’t buying that argument, they' noted that Reed f s bill wilt be wide open to crippling amendments if he exercises his right to bring it to the floor without the blesaing of the House Rules committee. Reed. R-N. Y.„ is Chairman of. the house /ways and means committee which three weeks ago approved his bill to cut personal income taxes about 10 percent July 1. i ' ' House i GOP leaders want to bottle it up in the rules committee until about May 1., in the hope that a balanced budget will at least be in sight by that time. ■ ’V j Irked by the delay. Reed asked rules .. committed chairman Leo Allen, R-111., Saturday what , the rules group planned to do. He threatened to bypass the committee and bring the bill to the floor as a privileged measure unless the committee acts soon. Allen made no threats of retal-. iation. but noted cryptically that “things would come to a pretty state” if the bill were brought to . the floor and someone tried to amend it "so no one would pay taxes.” ' Dn an island belonging to Con- - cepcion, Iloilo, Philippines, there is a -mountain called Pan de Azucar (Sugar Loaf) which \is an exact replica and namesake of the internationally famous Sugar Loaf Mountain at Rio de Janeiro, ‘Brazil.

New Atomic Power Plant | Is Disclosed Tertned Milestone, To Provide Power To Industrial Use WASHINGTON, UP The atomic emergy commission disclosed today it has switched on a brand new kind of atomic-power plans al >d tapped it for enough electricity to supply 50 five-room homes. ! \ The trick was turned an hour aftei' midnight* on Feb. 24. The AED hailed it as “an important milestone” on the way to economic atomic power for industries and; cities. 5 . The new plant is a “homogeneous reactor” fueled by splitting uranium atoms in a "sort of hot soup. It was -built at the Oak Ridge, Tenn., national laboratory at a cost of 11,100,000. In addition to producing power, it also can manufacture atomic fuel. Man has turned the atom’s energy into electricity once before. That was in December. 1951, when a different kind of experimental reactor at Arco, Ida., briefly generated 1(A) kilowatts of electricity. The Oak ’Ridge demonstration was not only more productive—it generated 150 kilowatts—but also was more significant for the future of atomic power. Scientists at Oak Ridge have called their new rehetor, onfe of the least costly ever put together, the possible forerunner of giant atomic Stations ito .power industries and cities in the future. They said the present experimental pilot-model still has a lot of bugs in it. But the Feb. 24 experiment proved the “feasibility of homogeneous liquid—fuel reactor systems’* as distinguished from the more complicated solid-fuel kind. In the homogeneous reactor a continuous flow of power is assured. ' : ' \ Heat generated by atomic fission is removed by pumping hot radioactive liquid through a heat exchanger or boiler which produces steam to drive a tu/binegenerator. The Oak Ridge reactor was brought slow ly to full power—l.OdO kilowatts of helat output—over a test period of 11 months. Then on the big day, steam thus produced was switched to the generator which, produced 150 kilowatts of electricity. The pilot model, w’hii-h will supply information , for ft full-scale plant, was developed by scientists of the Union Carbide and Carbon Corp., which operates Oak Ridge for the \AEC. i Cities, Towns Lose In Fight For Funds Bill May Be Lost In Last-Minute Jam INDIANAPOLIS. UP—The fight by Indiana cities and towns for a larger share of state funds appeared today to ,be lost. house passage of a bill to distribute about' $1,750,000 a year from the alcoholic beverage gallonage tax receipts to 104 cities and nearly 450 towns, the measure failed to get through the senate in the last-minute jam of which kept lawmakers at their desks untiT. the wee hours Sunday., \ Senate Republican leaders said they had no plans to ram the bill through today so It could become law with Governor Craig’s signature. There were indications, however, that some effort might be made to stagpend rules and pass the bill in the final hours of the assembly's last day.) The hill was the only one to aid municipalities to survive the earlier stages cf the lawmaking proicess. It provided about 69 cents per year for each resident of the 550 incorporated Indiana communities. Cause Os Rhinitis Believed Found WASHINGTON. UP — Agrirul ture department scientists think hey have found the cause of the ,og disease atrophic rhinitis which has run up high losses among pig fanners. A report said tests at the bureau of animal industry indicate one of more, parasites of the triphomonad family may be responsible for the disease, which has long baffled veterinarians. Rhinitis, which has turned up in almost all hog-raising areas of the United States since its first appearance in lk<4 atrophies • the snout, causes labored breathing and gives the infected animal a “dishfaced” appearance.
