I f' Atomic Power For Every Day Use In Distant Future I By T. W. KIENLEN ; NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (UP) It will be a long time before atomic power opines into every-day use, luading Industrialists jigtce . al most unanimously. In time a long time it will- be developed tor peaceful pursuits," said Dr. M. Iulyn Brun in, technical consultant of Bitum inous Coal institute. "It will un-' tloubtedly be generations before the atom will make all the na tion's steel, power the nation's locomotives, generate the electri city or furnish the billions of hours of industrial horsepower that coal does now, let alone heat the nation's home." No Control Charles W. Kellogg, president of the Edison Electric institute, said atomic power In its present stage of development is akin to lightning, "Wo all know what lightning is and can do, but we haven't learned yet how to control it" he said. Actually, the nation's top In dustrialists were nut let in on the secret of the atom-smashing developments until news of the atomic bomb came out this week. In Wartime , One stumbling block is the cost. It was pointed out only in waitime can a $2,000,000,000 ex perimental cost such us that on the atomic bomb be borne. There was little trendency in industry, however, to belittle the ultimate effects of atomic power. It was reculled Brig. Gen. Duvid Sarnoff, president of the Radio Corporation of America, said in a speech to the Association of Commerce in Chicago, Jan. 30, 1041, that "the most Important event" of 1840 was "the isolation of the atomic component of the element uranium known as U-235."

' Col. Franklin T, Matthias, 37-yoar-old prohect director, told newsmen there is no' interde pendence between the Hanford; plant and its counterpart at Oak,' Ridge, - . Ouisid VUw Muj. Joseph F. Sully, 32, pro ject civil engineer, explained, "we were betting on two horses, and they both won." : A slight relaxation in. security '' regulations allowed reporters to get an innocuous outside view at the production area today. , . Matthias also disclosed at a' press conference last night that:. 1 The late . President Roose velt, who knew about the project, from its beginning,, deliberately , avoided visiting Hanford. 2 The Truman committea also , avoided visiting the plant.. Tru-; mun was fully informed of the. project. WPB Not In . 3 The atomic muterial used In; the test explosion In New Mexico. came from here, and Matthias is ' reasonably sure" muterial used.
