He said the Executive Board approved the money for the campaign in a “telephone poll.” English immediately challenged him. He said ,he knew of no approval for the publicity campaign and would oppose the plan as long as he held office. Beck slipped into town during the weekend after a quick trip to his home at Seattle, Wash., and closeted himself for hours with the Executive Board. His secretary, Mrs. Ann Kotin, said Beck told her after the meeting there “will be no statement at this time.” She said he planned to be back at bis office today.

Scientists Seek To Build Strong Walls Power From Fusion Is Hope Os Future WASHINGTON <UP) —Scientists are striving to build invisible walls mighty enough to hold an artificial star twice as hot as the sun. If they micceed, man’s constantly growing demand for power will —for all practical purposes — be forever appeased. That briefly, is the story of Project Sherwood, the Atomic Energy Commission's multimilliondollar research quest for away to harness the H-bomb’s fusion reactions for peacetime power. As AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss told reporters at a news conference Monday, “Power from fission (the A-bomb reaction! is here today—a constantly expanding reality. Power from’ fusion is a hope of the future — the somewhat distant future.” Notes Progress But "encouraging progress is being made and certain discoveries are narrowing our approach to the major scientific problems involved” in controlling hydrogen power and making it a servant of peace. The sun and stars continually manufacture, power from fusion in amounts too’ enormous for the average mind to grasp. Strauss said he is “more confident than ever” that man can do it too though the difficulties are great. In man's case, the container for a fusion power reactor cannot be of any material substance. At the temperatures involved, a material container would flash instantly and violently into vapor. So, lacking the gravitational forces which hold superheated gases together at the sun’s center, man must fashion a container of another kind. As an approach to doing that, scientists have thought up the " stellarator,‘f« othertgse known as a “magneticf’iottle. It is .a device for holding hot electrified gases together in non-material walls of sheer magnetic force. Fusion Controlable The trick is to bunch such gases long enough —for several millionths of a sdfeond, at least —for them to fuse and liberate power in the form of electrical current. The sun’s fuel is ordinary hydrogen. It fuses hydrogen nuclei to make helium and energy. Its gravitational forces are powerful enough to hold the reacting nuclei together even at temperatures of 50 million degrees fahrenheit. Though man has a better fuel in the heavy hydrogen inexhaustibly available in the seas, he has to resort to higher temperatures, 100 million degrees or more. And he cannot invoke the forces of gravitation which serve the sun and stars. Nobody knows exactly what a hydrogen power plant will look like, but Strauss is certain it will be immense by present power plant standards and will cost “scores of million of dollars.” But, said Strauss, “We are making progress.” He quoted a scientist saying! "Anyone who thinks fusion cannot be controlled is a fool; but anyone who thinks it is going to be easy is an idiot."

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Iranian Editor Is Working In States Says Iran's Papers Write Mow Politics, PLYMOUTH, Ind. (UP) — The city editor of an Iranian newspaper has found American readers are more interested in . ” people" than politics. Majid Davami said his paper, Ettel'at, which means information, in Tehran pays much “more attention to politics” than the Plymout Pilot-News whose methods he is studying. Davami said Ettel'at is the largest newspaper in Iraq with a daily circulation of 60,000. Though there is no censorship, Davami said he must "be careful” what he writes. He 'said his newspaper looks much the same as American papers and he even puts oul an English edition, but the writing style would be strange to American readers. First Things First The American technique is to put the most important fact in a story in the first paragraph, which is called a “lead.” Davami said in Iran the story starts with "something interesting” though it may not be the most important fact. He indicated he will take the American technique back to Iran and teach his staff how to “use leads.” Davami said he also may start taking an American editor’s interest in people rather than things. Davami is working on the staff of the Pilot-News as part of a State Department program. He was one of 10 editors from the Near and Far East selected to attend a course at the University of Missouri’s journalism school and then go on to get on-the-job experience.

As in the general election last November, the outcome of Monday’s balloting was a personal political triumph for Gov. G. Mennen Williams, who campaigned actively for Democratic candidates. The offices of state highway commissioner and state superintendent of public instruction—long controlled by Republicans—went to the Democrats by substantial margins as heavier-than-expected returns poured in from Michigan’s 83 counties. Democrats also: —Gained 4-2 conool of the Board of Agricultare. <—Maintained their 5-3 majority < on the "non-partisan” Board of Education. —Stalemated long-standing GOP control of the University of Michigan board of regents by electing two members to gain a 4-4 split on the eight-member board.

State Departments Ask Funds Restored State Legislature Ordered Reductions si ■ .i. eji j— waeaii miwßartwDMßaMuy«ff*>' Jl INDIANAPOLIS (W — S t a t e departments and institutions ordered by the 1957 Indiana Legislature to cut current expenses have asked for restoration of nearly half of the cute, acting budget director Robert King said today. The Legislature told all state departments and institutions to cut salaries by three per cent and other expenses by five per cent for the current fiscal year ending June 30. The cuts would yield a total saving of about $2,661,000. King said a tabulation showed various branches had asked for restorations totaling about $1,088,000. This would mean a net saving of $1,573,000. Most of the requests for restoration of funds came from the four state colleges. They asked for the return of $909,749. King said his office had received various letters with various reasons for restoration. Harold Brigham, director of the state library said: “We give as-J surance of our readiness in the' effort to reduce expenditures, but . trust we may be rescued if we . get into distress.” I "We have Deen told to indicate where the Legislature’s cuts can i be made,” wrote the state board of embalmers and funeral direci tors. "This is indeed a $64,006 i question!” 1 J. A. Franklin, vice president and treasurer of Indiana Univer- ’ sity, said following the order would mean cutting salaries at the ' state’s four schools and felt they “should not be placed in the position of abrogating salary contracts.” Dr. C. A. Freeh, secretary of the state board of dental exam-

iners, said, “There is just no water in our budget to squeeze out unless we curtail items needed for the proper function of the office." King said the budget Committee meets Thursday and he believes it will make nearly all of the requested restorations. iivliißNUiaiiiiii ii Pleasant Mills Choir Awarded Top Rating Peasant Mills high school choir, directed by Helen Ehrsam and accompanied by Duane Seiple at the piano, won superior or Ist division rating in the district contest held at Greentown, Saturday.
