' ' How They Feel I There are about 1,000 rural subscribers on the city electric lines of the 4,000 using electricity. How 1 do they feel about the proposed sale ? Most of us know. Most of us have been button-holed by one friend or another who has explained in graphic detail the wrongs of the present system. ' i One prominent Root township resident gave this explanation. On April 28, 1955, four years ago, he asked the city to release his new property, where he planned to build, so that he could go on I & M power. He would save from $5 to $6 a month using 800 to 1,000 KW. This would mean a savings of S6O tq $72 a year, plus no transformer or hookup charges. The city replied that “it would probably be better’’ to alter the rural rates, rather than release the terri- j tory to Indiana-Michigan. Rate revisions were to , begin immediately. I ’ I What happened? The rates were “changed,” but J 1 the change did not help the person referred to. In fact, < that person will now save $7.03 on 800 KW, or $8.03 i on 1,000 KW, a month on I&M. That’s SB4 to $96 a year. This saps a lot of purchasing power from the merchants; in turn, less is sold, so workers are idled J from manufacturing as well as from retail establish- * ments. ] One prominent farmer from Root township mentioned that when the rural people built the line, then sold it to Decatur, it was provided that the rates remain the same for both county and city. But through the years the city changed the rates, and city people now pay less for the same amount of electricity. Even worse, the lines are not built to carry electricity as far as they do, and consequently the variance in power is very high. ' , -w This week many rural people, vitally interested in the sale of the plant, are busily contacting their city ;. friends and relatives. Others are actively supporting an advertising campaign to aid the sale. ro Central Daylight Time

Convert Energy To Electric Power

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Energy from splitting atoms in a nuclear reactor has at last been converted directly into electrical power without benefit of steam turbines or any other moving parts. The implications for space exploration and the fixture of power generation on earth may be revolutionary, according to the Atomic Energy Commission’s Los Alamos, N.M., scientific laboratory. Direct conversion of nuclear fission energy into electricity has been a dream of scientists since the birth of the atomic era in 1942. It would hasted the day of economic atomic power by eliminating the bulky, complicated, and costly steam-generating equipment now required to transform nuclear heat into electrical current. “ At least partial realisation of the “direct conversion” dream was accomplished at Los Alamos with a tiny device called a “plasma thermocouple." An announcement from Los Alamos Tuesday said the device had “far exceeded all expectations” by keeping a light bulb glowing steadily for 12 hours instead of the anticipated few minutes. A Los Alamos spokesman said the experiment may herald “a revolution” in atomic power. The AEC here was more cautious. It said units like those tested in New Mexico “offer great promise for space auxiliary power”—that is, power to run radio transmitters, instruments, and other vital equipment aboard spacecract. But the commission said “it would be most premature at this time” to predict what effect the plasma thermocouple will have on “conventional and nuclear power production.” Obviously, if the new generator had achieved perfection in its first trials, the impact on conventional utilities and atomic power investments would be terrific. Similar equipment could replace the moving parts in ordinary coal - burning power plants. If atomic heat can be converted directly into electricity, so can coal or oil heat. The Los Alamos device in the experiment announced Tuesday “acted like a super-powered flashlight battery with an open circuit voltage of 3.8 volts and a short circuit current of between 30 and 40 amperes.” This obviously wouldn’t light homes and run factories, much less propel spaceships.
