"Voter in Great Britain again
showed a split personality in their
Thursday balloting. The major
parties,' conservative and labor,
were very evenly balanced. While
the conservatives made sufficient
gains in the house of commons to
return to power their majority
will be about as narrow as that
held by the labor party since the
election last year. It is too nar
row for comfort unless conserva
tives win the seats yet undecided.
It may lead to the coalition which
Winston Churchill hinted at in
one oi his campaign speeches.
By their votes Britishers signi
fied they wanted stronger govern

parently the late labor, drive lor
votes with emphasis on welfare
gains won many votes for the
party, the tactics being similar to
those employed by Roosevelt and
Truman in their appeals for re

Santa Claus either.
At the same time, the British
were dissatisfied with the appar
ent weakness of the government
in international affairs. Loss of
Iran oil was a blow to Britain's

LONDON, Oct. 26-VKing George VI restored Winston Churchill
to the prime ministry tonight as the victor in a hard fought election
which ends six years of socialist labor rule. Churchill pledged to work
for better times. I - I
" The conservative party led by Churchill won 1319 or more seats
in the 625-seat house of commons, and thereby majority control and
the right to name the new government However its popular vote was
about one per cent less than that of the laborites in yesterday's gen
ral election. l - I -
With five -seats still unaccounted for, Clement R. Attlee's labor
party had 293 Seats, the liberals five and others three.
Churchill, 77 next month, returns to No. 10 Downing street as the
oldest prime minister Britain has had since liberal William Gladstone,
85, resigned in 1894. : t 1
The king is still ailing from a lung operation, but he received
Churchill and Attlee individually at Buckingham palace. Attlee went
first t resign his positions as prime minister and first lord of the
treasury. Churchill followed, to receive the king's appointment, which
gives him the f last chance' he sought to work for peace.
'Shadow Cabinet' Ready to Step In j
Churchill and his chief deputy, Anthony Eden,' began considering
a cabinet list for approval by the king. Most of the new ministers will
be members of a "shadow cabinet" kept in existence during the con
servatives' six years on the sidelines. Eden is slated to succeed Labor-,
ite Herbert Morrison as foreign minister. ;
; The new cabinet probably will take office Monday. The new par
liament will meet Wednesday to elect a speaker. It will hold its first
formla session Nov. 6. ' "J
The labor, party polled the highest popular ivote ever given a
single British party, but lost the contest because many of its whopping
majorities came in the normally labor voting industrial areas. Con
servative strength was more evenly spread
: Labor's1 popular vote for 616 districts was 13,877,922 compared to
13,665,595 for the conservatives. The labor party had held the previous
high record for the popular vote with 13,295,736 in the February,

that some sharp differences be
tween Winston! Churchill's regime

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26 -JP)
The threat of inter-union violence
hung over San Francisco's huge
waterfront tonight .
Tension increased in the wake
ott the Isthmian Steamship com
pany's announcement it has hired
53 AFL longshoremen to unload
three of its strike-bound ships.
Harry . Bridges' International
and Warehousemen's union (IL
WU). which has had exclusive
jurisdiction here since the mid
1930's, declared it would not stand
for any invasion by AFL dock
workers.
Longtime Enemies
Bridges and AFL union leaders
have been bitter enemies for
years.
An ILWU spokesman called the
Isthmian 1 move "strikebreaking"
and said the ILWU would stop
work on all shipping here if Isth
mian attempts to unload ships
with AFL dock labor.
"Scabs will not be permitted on
the waterfront" this spokesman
declared.
Isthmian's hiring of AFL steve
dores to work its three struck
ships here was disclosed by com
pany attorneys seeking dismissal
of a temporary restraining order
which prevents Isthmian from,
hiring any but ILWU members.
Quit Association
The temporary restraining or
der against Isthmian hiring any
but ILWU dock workers was ob
tained yesterday by ILWU at
torneys after Isthmian resigned
from the Pacific Maritime asso
ciation (PMA). The PMA repre
sents shipowners and operators in
a Pacific coast contract with
Bridges union.,
Isthmian . attorneys, attacking
the temporary restraining order,
revealed that 53 AFL workers
were hired before the order was
issued and that a contract had
been "concluded" between Isth
mian and the AFL dockworkers
union.
ILWU attorneys argued fthat
even if Isthmian was no longer a
member of the PMA, Isthmian's
contract with the ILWU. still was
binding. .
Superior Judge William T.
Sweigert, before whom today's
hearing was held, gave the union
until' 11:00 a.m, tomorrow to pro
duce supporting affidavits in its
case.

Noisy Parade, Bonfire
Set Homecoming Pace
Homecoming graduates of Willamette university were greeted by
signboard posters, a noisy parade and a slicked up campus full of stu
dents Friday in the first day of annual Homecoming fete for alumni.
More than 20 truck-loads of students with every noise-making
contraption they could pile on a
truck bed wound through down
town Salem streets Friday night.
Students pounded on circular saw
blades, barrels,' old boilers, oil
drums, bells, actylene tanks and
any old piece of iron they could
lay hands on. And they blew long
and loudly on band instruments,
tooted horns and shouted through
out the parade.
Even a large collie dog was seen
barking, but scarcely heard,
through the din. Uncounted autos
joined the parade to toot their way
to McCulloch field for a pre-game
rally round a huge bonfire.
Flames from a pile of com
bustibles, gathered by freshmen
for the occasion, shot high over
Bush's pasture trees. The pile was
twice touched off prematurely
during the week.
The campus, raked clean of
leaves early Friday by freshmen,
was dotted with large signs Under
theme of "Bearcats Pound Puget
Sound" aimed at today's football
clash with College of Puget
Sound.
Posted at student living organi
zations, the signs showed Willam
ette players in various stages of
beating athletes from the north.
Winners of the noise parade and
sign contests will be announced
tonight at the Homecoming dance.
Alumni- welcoming activities
will continue today with register
ing and informal reception for
graduates during the morning at
Marion hotel, followed by an 11:30
luncheon there, the football game
at 2 p.m. with a special section re
served at McCulloch stadium, a

Project Which Hopes to Breed Atoms Like Rabbits
Starting at Atomic Energy Plant Near Idaho Falls
By Alton L. Blakeslee
Associated Press Science Editor .
NEW YORK, Oct.26-P)-The
great breeding experiment in
atomic energy, to make atoms be
have like rabbits and produce
more atoms, is starting in Idaho.
It it succeeds, the outlook is
good fox widespread, peacetime
use of atomic t energy. If it fails,
the prospects are dim, say some
atomic -scientists. For there's : a
limit now to the amount of atoms
that split and supply energy.
The breeding will try to make
these atoms father more atoms,
and yield a much bigger supply
of atomic fueL It centers in the
experimental breeder reactor, or
atomic oven, now In action in the
atomic energy commission's (AEC)
Snake river plains site near Idaho
Falls. I
Our only source now of atomic
energy.is uranium. There's lots of
uranium. But only one kind, uran-ium-235,
splits spontaneously and
gives off neutrons to split mora
atoms of U-235.
The sad fact is that only 7-10ths
of one per cent of all uranium is
U-235. To make a bomb, or a
source of power for peacetime,
U-235 atoms have to be separated
out, and concentrated.
That tiny percentage means a
limit a low one, on the total
world's supply of atomic fueL
U-235.
But there is an out When U-235
atoms split the neutrons that come
out can turn ordinary uranium
(U-238) into plutonium, another
metal that splits and gives off
energy and neutrons. Plutonium is
used in bombs, and could be used
to run peacetime engines.
Plutonium is made this way in
the AECs atomic reactor at Han
ford, Wash.
But It doesn't make as much
plutonium as it burns U-235. For
every 100 atoms of U-233 used
up, less than 100 new atoms of
plutonium are created.
Tha breeder reactor la designed
to overcome this, to make more
than 100 plutonium atoms for ev
ery 100 atoms of U-235 burned
up and used. .
If it works, more new fuel will
be created than fuel is used.
Eventually it might be possible to
use all the ordinary uranium, not
just the tiny percentage now
available.
The breeder reactor ; has been
building, for more than a year, at
a cost of $3,300,000,000 on the
400,000-acre Arco, Idaho, site.'
Last week, tha joint congres
sional atomic energy committee
announced the breeder "went
critical" a few weeks before. That
means it is burning U-235, pro
ducing neutrons. .
Published facts about the
breeder are scant The tenth semi
annual report of the AEC tells
some. ' j :
The breeder will use enriched
uranium, meaning It has more
than l-10th of on per cent of
I U-235. Around this core of fuel
will be a blanket of ordinary
uranium, which can be turned into
plutonium. i The critical question
is whether the breeder will pro
duce more plutonium than it burns
U-235.
Theoretically, this is possible.
Each atom of U-235 when it splits
gives off 2.23 neutrons, on the
average. Only one is needed to
keep the chain reaction going.
- That leaves 1.5 neutrons theo
retically available to turn ordinary
uranium atoms Into plutonium. If
no neutrons were wasted, the
breeder could produce 1.5 pounds
of plutonium for every pound of
U-235 it uses.
That efficiency Isn't possible.
Some neutrons will be captured
wasted by being caught in con
struction materials, in fission pro
ducts, and, cooling fluids around
the reactor.
The hope Is to get something
better than a one-for-one exchange
of atoms, to Increase steadily the
family qz energy-giving atoms.
