Says Atomic Power Cheap Fuel Source Soon To Give Water Stiff Competition WASHINGTON. I’P — Interior secretary Douglas McKay believes the atom will soon give water some stiff competition as a cheap source of electricity.* McKay also thinks atomic industrial plants should eventually be built privately under lease from the government because “I don’t think the government should monopolize this.” “It may be necessary for the government to build the first pilot plants,” he said in a radio interview Friday CBS “Capitol Cloakroom.” But ultimately the program “should be spread out for the benefit of all the people,” he said. The atomic energy commission announced Thursday the government will soon build history’s first peaceitme atomic power plant. ADC ‘ commissioner Thomas E. Murray said it might be in operation in 3 to 4 years. An\ organization called “The Uranium Industry Association” issued ra statement Friday night attacking the project as a “waste” cf 100 million dollars. The association said it will seek a court order to block the plan. It demnded to know why the AEC did not permit private power interests to construct the plant, saying private companies offered to build it and still stand ready to do so. The association urged congress to “delve deeply into the morass of contradictory, and in some instances absurd, excuses given by AHC officials” for deciding in favor of government construction ot the pilot atomic plant. Murray said the plant would cost ‘tens ot millions of dollars” and would produce enough electrical energy to supply a medium-sized city. He said it probably would be located at the site of one of the ADC s present diffusion plants. Atomic experts say the cost of electricity produced by the plant Will be about four .times greater than that produced by conventional methods. But they believe that within 10 years atomic power will be “competitive” with power from hydroelectric steam plants. - r — . Five Persons Hurt When Train Derailed. ‘FORT SCOTT. Kan.
