" 2KAV ' America's defense chiefs today were reported pushing plans for development of the world's first atom-powered submarine a pro ject that might revolutionize naval warfare.- Theoretically, such an under aeas craft would have an almost unlimited range. Research on "atom engines' for airplanes was also reported pro gressing. Clow secrecy surrounded both projects, but a well-posted Infor mant said discussions art under way between the navy and the Hextric Boat co porr.tion of Gro ton. Conn., build ;r of many of the itavr'g submarine. The atomic energy commission disclosed that three Electric Boat technicians have been sent to at tend "nuclear reactor courses at the Great Oak Ridge, Term., atom ic works. T. Frovlde Power The nuclear reactor is the "fur nace" which provides the ingredi ents of A-bombs and, it is hoped. will provide power for atomic en gines also. An informant said the navy . electric boat discussions are so far long that in all likelihood con gress will be asked to tack on new funds for the work in making up the 1931 navy budget for the fis cal year beginning next July 1. . AEC officials said the commis sion and two of its major contrac tors General Electric and West Inghouse are negotiating with Electric Boat in connection with the atom-powered submarine pro- : lect ; Sfay Extend Enerry Scientists say the amount of nu clear fuel destroyed in the split second of an A-bomb explosion could be utilized, under controlled conditions, to give off useful en ergy for months or .perhaps even years. Thus the critical factor of fuel consumption In naval craft which played an Important part in the long running erase ana una w truction of the German super battleship Bismark during World War II would be virtually elim inated in atom-powered ships. An AEC report to congress last month revealed that progress has been made toward development of reactors suitable for submarine or surface vessel propulsion. ' It said the reactor would be "a single purpose machine designed sDecifically for the purpose of pro- - during large amounts of heat un der conditions, that will permit conversion to power for naval ves- eir . The report noted that the re- Mrch and development work was well advanced, and declared that "detailed engineering design of i hip propulsion reactor is sched vied to begin during 1950."

Levering said 'there Is a chance that Russia might accept a dis armament plan and might Join the U. S. in a world welfare pro gram. Mr. Truman's decision to press fordevelopment of the new wea- hpon should nave Deen wiuineia until there had been "an exhaus tive effort to build atomic peace, Levering asserted. The administration view is that Russia has shown she will re spond only to strength and that our task now is to correct weak nesses in the noncommunist world. Varied Views Witnesses alternately hammer ed and upheld proposals for At lantic union or world federation. The subcommittee is weighing several resolutions aiming at peace through international mea sures. One would authorize the president to bring together the Atlantic democracies to consider a union. Another suggests a world federation as the main ob jective of American foreign pol icy. Levering,- who said his commit tee represents almost all Quaker groups in the country, backed the world federation idea, saying the committee viewed an Atlantic union as a partial step which might lead only to dividing the world into armed camps. Psychological Campaign Mrs. William D. Leetch, repre senting the National Society of New England women, opposed either Atlantic union or a world government. She proposed a psy chological campaign to supply a Russian underground movement with money, printing presses and radios. Marvin L. Goldberger, national legislative director of AMVETS, World War II veterans organiz ation, urged that the United Na tions be strengthened and broad ened into a world federation. Edward Jerome, representing the National Economic Council, Inc., a citizens' group, opposed any moves toward world govern ment He argued that the people of the United States would reject any such proposal and even if a majority " approved "the defeated minority would have an inalien able right to refuse to be govern ed by a world state. ! Backs Federal Union A former assistant secretary of state, Garrison Norton, backing the Atlantic Federal .Union idea, said he hoped any I such move would not be controlled by the state department. Hie contended that such action outside the framework or present policy would meet department opposi tion. State department officials al ready have told the subcommittee that they do not want action now on Atlantic union or world fed eration proposals, contending It might result in weakness instead of strength, and might injure the United Nations organization.

Plea for Peace Talks Renewed By Churchill LONDON, Feb. 20-(P)-Winston Churchill renewed his appeal to the British people tonight to en dorse his idea for new high level talks with Russia. The 75-year-old conservative made his last major speech at Manchester as both labor and tory leaders predicted victory in Thursday's election. Political ob servers from all shades of opinion predicted a neck-and-neck rap- tn the wire. Both parties redoubled their bids for doubtful votes. Prime Minister Attlee issued a message to all labor candidate. and workers warning that the campaign was "in its most vital stage." "If our ramnaicm maintains Vi increasing tempo and splendid spirit which has been evident so far." he declared. thn r am nn fident that a new labor govern- meniwiu te returned to carry A Smart New Range by vVestiiidi If s new! ... excitingly different . . . the new econ omy electric range buy of the year!

Two possible barometers, the bookmakers and the stock market showed uneasy fluctuations. Bookmakers odds against a con servative victory dropped for a time today to 11 to 10, as the result of a flood of tory money over the weekend, but returned to 6 to 5, the same as on Satur day. Odds on labor, after a similar flurry, went back to 4-6. Other Halls Rented Churchill, the war-time member of the "Big Three" in allied coun cils, spoke to a crowd of 2,000 in Manchester's Albert halt But the conservatives had rented seven other halls in the city where another 6,000 heard him over a relay network. He asked Britons to repudiate leaders of the labor party who have charged that his proposal for another big three talk in an effort to solve atomic and other prob Yeater Appliance Co.

He assailed labor's leaders as being "above the heads of the working people" and unwilling to let them discuss matters "of life and death to the nations." Churchill said his plea for new talks had "rolled round the world and may have created a new sit uation." Labor party ministers have not rejected Churchill's Idea in so many words, but some have call ed it "soap box diplomacy," and Prime Minister Attlee has said that the question of' an atomic settlement is a matter for United Nations channels.

Eklund, speaking before nearly 200 OCE teachers and studentsJ sam a speech last week he had in tended as an attack on "remnants of a three-year certification pro gram" in Oregon has been mis interpreted and misquoted as an attack on "the dual system as it now exists in Oregon." He referred to a speech last Thursday at Reed college in Port land where he was quoted as say ing the state's teacher training system was a "relic of the dark ages" because of the dual system. Under the dual system, elemen tary and high school teachers at tend different preparatory institu tions.
