U. S., Allies Working For "Atoms For Peace”
“ATOMS FOR PEACE” (President Eisenhower disclosed last week that the U. S. already is sharing its atoms-for-peace achievements with friendly allies in one of mankind’s most dramatic international pools. This article is the fourth of a series reporting what can be done —and is being done now—in the utilization of atomic energy for <the ! benefit of men.) By EDWIN DIAMOND CHICAGO (INS) — The atom has arrived on America's farms and in scores of industries ranging from steel-making to food processing. . Practical applications of nuclear energy by-products have already resulted in savings for farmers running into millions of dollars annually. Agricultural and industrial demand for these by-products is so great, the Oak Ridge, Tenn,, national laboratory maintains an atomic "drugstore” with lead-lined walls to serve ovef- 1,090 different customers. Key to this brisk trade and a whole new era in agriculture is the radio-isotope—a potent* “tagged” atom made radioactive in atomic furnaces. Orders for an atomic "prescription” come into Oak Ridge and go out packed inside a 50 pound lead box which in turn is strapped into a steel braced shipping case for delivery. Industry uses these radio-iso-topes in a variety of ingenious ways. Here are a few: In oil operations to designate pipe line flow, In the automotive industry to measure engine wear. In the mixing of paints to get equal ingredients. In heavy industry to detect flaws in metals. Motel Owners Sue Toll Commission I . Damage Suits Filed On Toll Commission INDIANAPOLIS (INS) Hoosiermotel operators today" filed seven suits in eix counties demanding $645,000 damages from the Indiana toll road commission. Motel attorney Ira L. Haymaker said the complaints were mailed to clerks of Marshall, Steuben, DeKalb, Porter, LaPorte and. NoNs counties. Seeking damages are motel operators on U.S. 6. 12, 20 and 30. Haymaker, who said a traffic engineering report ehowsd 17,000 vehicles a day would be diverted from these four arterial highways onto the toll road, said the euite were filed under the act which created the Indiana The law etatew: All public or private property damaged or destroyed in carrying out the powers created by this act shall be restored or repaired and placed In its original condition as nearly as practicable, or adequate compensation made therefore out of funds provided under the authority of this act. The attorney said this seotion of the 1951 Indiana law was Lifted from the 1937 Pennsylvania law which created authority tor the turnpike. Haymaker said eight more suite will be filed later including one in Marion county attacking the legality of the trust Agreement between the commission and the banks which floated the bonds. Plaintiffs in today’s dnmqge suits are: (Edward E. and Helen C. Molzan, Golden Sands Hotel Court, T7.S. 12, LaPorte county; Paul and Audsey Stlffner, Ligonier Tourist Court, U. S. 6, Noble county; Esther Claussen and Jessie Martin, Valparaiso iMotel, iU. S. 30, Porter county; Waren iE. and Annabel C. Senour, Warana Motel, U.

In steel-making to measure the quantity of molten steel during production. While this is an impressive record, the most dramatic “atoms for peace” story is being unfolded on the farm. Experiments with fission furnace produced isotopes may lead in a few years to bigger, better and perhaps brand-new varieties of farm and garden plants. Other tests may bring "atomic sterilisation'* of meats and dairy produce —an inexpensive process which will keep the foodstuffs indefinitely fresh at room temperatures. The record of agricultural accomplishment today shows: 1. Farm fertiliser costs cut drastically as a result of fission products. 2. Radioactive - induced mutations (changes) in wheat seedlings which have increased yields. 3. "Atom - bombarded’* meat which has remained fresh up to three weeks without refrigeration. 4. Scientists are closing in on the elusive “secret of plant growth" with the aid of atomic tracer Isotopes. If successful, they believe mankind will never lack basic food supplies. Work on the secret of plant growth is being carried on at Chicago's Argonne national laboratory in a sealed "atomic farm.” Key research tool on the farm is the radio-isotope carbon 14. Carbon 14 —called the queen of the tracers—is, like other isotopes, a radioactive by-product of nuclear reactor furnaces, produced as easily as a coal furnace drops clinkers into the grate. (Next: Radioactivity may turn out to be one of mankind’s beat friends in the fight against cancer and other disease.

(INS)—A possible I citation for contempt of Cangreee faces Antioch College professor i Robert M. Metcalf today for rei fusing to divulge the names of . those in n campus group studying L Marxist philosophies. , The group disbanded after he dropped out in 1945. Professor Met ( calf told a house un-American activities subcommittee at Dayton, but he could not on “moral ’ grounds" name those involved. ’ Also testifying before the investigators Wednesday were Mr. and • Mrs. John Ober wiho eaid a eimilvu student study group at Antioch * during their early student dayv ' was definitely linked to the Young I Communist League. Metcalf, an expert on stained . glass, steadfastly instated that he r is not a member of tbe CommuI ntat party and has had no con- , nectioos with it since 1946. At on . time did he claim protection of the I fifth amendment. But he had a prepared statement ready when asked to give names of Vite members in the study group to which he belonged. He said it wes made up of faculty membens and other residents of Yellow ; Springs. , By declining to give names, Metk calf told the subcommittee he was taking the “only possible moral position I can maintain.*' Then he added -that the names would be readily available if he knew those concerned' were a danger to the ■ country. k The professor went on to say that he dropped ouit of the study * group when there was an attempt ’ to combine it with a similar student group. ► The professor was placed on ■ warning that his actions left him *4n clear contemupt of congress” but he refused to change his position. Tbe warning came from Gordon Scherer, a Cincinnati Republican and chairman of the subcommittee.

Heller Purchases Ehinger Agency Purchase of the insurance agency of the late Leo Ehinger by Bob Heller of teller and Decatur insurance agencies was announced today, effective immediately. The purchase was made from Mrs. Leo Ehinger, widow of the late Decatur business man. The Ehinger agency will be operated as a separate concern from the Heller office in the Heller building on East Monroe street, the new owner stated. ~ There will be no interruption of service to policy holders in the, Ehinger agency, the new owner said, and all claims and renewals will be made from the new location. The Heller agency now represents a combination of four local insurance agencies, having merged the business of the late Waiter J. Bockman, and Kenneth Runyon prior to today’s merger with the Ehinger agency. GOLDSMITH TO «\>ntlnued from Page One) riage, died last May at the time of the baby's birth. Lenard sold the Patinos decided after a “family council" in Versailles last Wednesday “to open action” for the custody of the motherless baby, Isobel. * Patino and the Duchess said the infant had been taken to a "safe -place” pending Friday's custody hearing. Goldsmith’s secretary said the 21-year-old Britisher was trying to obtain a warrant to search the Patinos' home for his motherless daughter. Goldsmith discovered his daughter was missing when he returned from a West African business trip Wednesday and filed a complaint with Paris police charging “persons unknown” with the abduction. The hotel heir said that prior to his trip it previously had been agreed' that the baby should live with him and he was “shocked" at news that his in-laws were applying for their granddaughter's custody.
