running now, to fulfill the hopeful predictions of five years ago made. just after the world knew that atomic bombs had been exploded. ‘

As it is, after several seeming false starts, we are probably two or three years away from the successful operation of the kind

of atomic power plant that might ‘run submarines several times around the world without refuel ing. Our atomic power bets are laid

almost exclusively upon two ship|0f the war.

Propulsion reactors, one reported to be in the advanced stages of engineering design and the other Just begun, As an auxiliary to weapons development, there are other projects of the Atomic Energy Commission which will aid the eventual power use of uranfum at the same time that they “help build more and better bombs, Armed Strength First The military situation has dictated that virtually nothing be done in power development that does not contribute to our-armed strength. In the long run successful appli-

tation of atomic power may not)

come any later due to this emphasis on fighting power. The problems in making a ship power

May Be Wasteful Using the world’s precious fissionable material to boil .water or the equivalent for gross power production may be a very wasteful use of our natural resources of uranium (and thorium from which fissionable uranium 233 can be made). Unexpected new sources of chemical energy seem to be present -in the atomic reactors. For instance, potassium chloride when irradiated changes into potassium sulfate, which means that not only is chloride changed to sulphur but that oxygen is added, {which is a real chemical surprise. {Such oxidation is usually obtained by burning fuel or using electricity. Such changes in chemical compounds may open new chemi-

to shield the heat-producing reactor and make it safe for men and materials nearby. Ordinary materials, such as steel and other common metals used in power plants, do not stand up under the battering of neutrons, "intense gamma rays (Xrays) and electrons (beta rays). Heat in an atomic pile or reactor, where the fissioning is going on, reaches at least a million degrees. No ordinary structural materials ¢an withstand such temperatures. Almost everything battered by the radiations is made so radioactive itseif that it becomes a source of dangerous radiations.

Arabs Confused

Mired in Excuses for Failure to Back UN

By ERNIE HILL Times Special Writer LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. July 13—The Arab countries are becoming so devious in their explanations of why they are refusing to support the United Nations in Korea that they are confusing themselves. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Irag, 8yria, Yemen and Lebanon each has its own way of indicating why the UN must get along with-
