Atomic locomotives are not j” e * a wiH Pnc 1 - T dream of the distant future. They can be made right now. Plans for an atomic locomotive have already been drawn up. As you can see in the picture above, it would look like a conventional engine, except for a 200-ton -steel block in the center, which would house the nuclear reactor. It would have the power of four diesels — yet would run for a year on only eleven pounds of fuel. We point this out merely to emphasise the fact that atomic science is progressing much faster than you may realize — opening up fabulous new fields of opportunity for the American people. e * * In fact, America is growing and changing so fast that you might well call this our age of opportunity. Just look, if you will, at some of the things that are hnnnening in the U. S. today:

vegetables, and rice. The department said the only major item which will be shorter tn supply this fall Is lamb and mutton. Moat of the increases were attributed to the greater output following favorable prices for most commodities a year ago. The survey predicted also that per capita consumption of food probably will average slightly higher than in 1963. It said consumption increases are expected for the following items: beef and veal, poultry, eggs, butter, shortening, cheese, canned and frozen fruit juices, frozen vegetables and dry beans. Because of short supplies of pork during the first half of 1954, consumption for the year is expected to average lower than in 1953. The department said that approximately the same amount of food products from farms is being used by U. S. armed forces as last year. Exports likewise are about the same. New Sales Tax In District Os Columbia WASHINGTON (INS) — Most district of Columbia residents will get their first taste of a new sales tax today. The tax, which actually took effect Sunday, is expected to add 8.8 million dollars to the district treasury.

When can we make atomic locomotives?

GARARD — Says Reds Resort To Kidnap, Murder Dr. John's Seizure Is Latest Incident WASHINGTON (IN)—Sen. William E. Jenner. (R-lnd.) said today the disappearance pt West German security chief Dr. otto John indicates Russia considers arrti-Com-munlsts behind the Iron Curtain as her "Achillea heel.” Jenner.said his internal security subcommittee has evidence that “Communism has reeortM to kidnaping and even to murder to dispose of those who have repudiated or fought Communism in behalf of the free world.” The latest incident, he said, was the "Communist eelxure” of John, who apparently defected to the Reds although many In Europe still believe that he was kidnaped by the Communists. "Whether by kidnaping or with has consent,” Jenner said, “the Kremlin agent* have, by this act, gained a whip-hand over the hum dreds of defectors in East Germany with whom Dr. John, as head of the West German equivalent of our FBI, was in contact.” ■- The lawmaker commented on th* John case in publishing the testimony of Nicolai Khokhlov, a former Soviet secret police captain who suri-endered to the west while, on a mission to assassinate an anti-Communist leader in West Germany. Khokhlov, who has appealed to the west to rescue his wife and, child from the Kremlin, has named former Soviet ambassador to th* U. 8. Alexander Panyushkin, aa the leader of a Rusaian terroristic organization. Jenner said he was “convinced" Khokhlov was correct in saying the Russian people do not want wcr. He also noted that the exSoviet agent testified that religion is not yet dead in Russia and that the people are being “informed and encourayed” despite sever® Red restrictions. The senator also stressed Khokhlov’s answer to Jenner’s question about rhe attitude of the Russian people to their Communist government. Khokhlov said: “The Russian people are and have become very tired. The Russian people want to believe io the possibility of peace. It is very difficult for them. It was terj* difficult to believe In it while Stalin was alive. "Now some small hopes have appeared. Whether the hopes be justified or not will be »ho»Rl by time, but tbe Russian people I want to believe in it and they want , that it would happen.” DR.
