Atom Power Source of Electricity?

Patent Granted On New Gadget

By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 6 — A patent has been granted here for a gadget which generates electricity directly from atomic energy. But— ONE: The device has no practical application in the field of large-scale power production. TWO: It does not mean that science has found a short cut to release of atomic energy for industrial power. THREE: 1t is not, in a scientific sense, a new development. It does, however, possess cerable importance. It might, for generator of extremely long life to power small automatic weather recording instruments parachuted into remote areas where they might go untended for years. The patent, No. 2,598,925, was granted to Dr. Ernest G. Linder of Princeton, N. J. for what he calls a “method and means for generating electrical energy from a radioactive source.” Dr. Linder is a research physicist for the Radio Corp. of America, He developed his generator in collaboration with an RCA colleague, Dr. 8. M. Christian. It ean be carried in a small suit-
