The president of one of the coun

Electric Co., announced Thursday
application will be made to the
Atomic Energy Commission with

a "gigantic" atomic reactor.
The plant would be the first

did not tell his news conference
the exact amount of power such
an atomic reactor would produce.
But be gave an indication by
saying it should supply enough to

plant at the nearby Hanford
Works and also be a "substantial

Hanford Is a huge user of pool
power.
As an apparent result of the an
nouncement' GE stock jumped 3
points at 78 on the New York
Stock Market Thursday. It was
the most active issue, with 19.300
shares traded. '
The announcement was made in
connection with a western tour
of G. E.'s board of directors, dur
ing the company's 75th anniver
sary. .
Cordiner said the company can
start work whenever the AEC ap-
Iproves and Congress appropriates
the money. He could not divulge
the expected cost, commenting:
We have an exact figure in
mind, but it will be up to the AEC
to make any disclosure.
The AEC now has an experi
mental power reactor in operation
at Acco, Idaho, but on a much
smaller scale. Reactors are also
being built to power submarines
and several power companies are
working on plans for larger, in
stallations. -
Wilfred E. Johnson, general
manger of the Hanford operation,
also addressed the news confer
ence. He said the reactor would
be efficient enough to produce elec
tric power as cheaply as by the
present means, provided the cost
of the reactor is not included in
the figures.
Johnson also said the Hanford
Works expects to double its pres
ent production fit Plutonium, with
payroll increase of only about
per cent when new facilities
now under construction are com
pleted. He attributed it to a "start
ling" reduction in production costs.
Fireman Shift
Leaves Tank
Truck Unused
(Story also on Page 1)
One of two Salem fire inspec
tors was put on fire truck duty
Thursday after the City Council
dictated a fire department reor
ganization in the wake of a five-
man budget cut July 1.
Inspector Warren K. Faynter,
2445 N. Commercial St, is now
assigned as a hoseman on the
new four-wheel drive pumper at
Central Station. He is on one of
the three shifts which rotates on
24-hour duty stints. As an in
spector he worked regular eight-
nour days the past two years.
Mayor Alfred W. Loucks said
Thursday that City Council mem
bers were surprised to read in
The Statesman Monday an art
icle on fire department operation
since July, mentioning that the
two-man inspection team had
been retained despite a five-man
budget cut
The Council ordered the city
manager to carry out the budget
committee's original plan of keep-
ling the same number of men on
fire truck assignments by using
the general duty men rather than
specially assigned men for first
aid and inspection service.
fireman uonaid Kemke was
still on fire Inspector duty Thurs
day.
Neither City Manager J. L.
Franzen nor Fire Chief E. L.
Smith indicated what the next
move would be. Smith already
nad reassigned three first aid
men to fire truck duty, although
the men have been available also
for first aid runs regularly since
men.
The Inspection team of two
firemen remained intact after
five men were laid off, with a
new fire pumper arriving on the
scene to take the place of both
an old pumper and an old tank
truck which went into reserve
status.
Since the new pumper carried
300 gallons of water, it could
double for the tank truck, under
tne reorganization plan put into
euecz.
Under the shift made thli
week, Paynter became part of the
new pumper's crew. The
trues remains In reserve.

Drdging Rule
For Portland
WASHINGTON UJ - The 'Army
Engineer Board Thursday ap
proved a proposal that Portland.
Ore., be relieved of the obligation
of maintaining a dredge for use
by federal agencies in the Portland
port and channel.1
At the same tune the board
turned down Portland's request
it not be required to sign an
agreement holding the government
free from damage actions arising
out of dredging operations which
the government would take over.
The board i action now goes to
the chief of U. S. Army Engineers
for consideration.
As 'explained to the board the
situation is this:
When the government undertook
to dredge a 35-foot channel in the
Columbia River to the Portland
port, the city's port authority
agreed to maintain a dredge for
government use when needed. The
city did this since at that time it
was using the dredge extensively
to deepen the channel and port
and to buud filled land areas.
Now the city wishes to be re
lieved of the responsibility and
the $100,000 annual expense in
volved. No other port is required
to maintain a dredge for federal
use. ,
relieving Portland of the re
sponsibility would add $42,500 an
nually to federal costs of main
taining the channel.
In turning down the Portland
request to be relieved of : the
clause regarding damages, board
members noted that such a clause
had been included in all such proj
ect agreements In recent years.

Russia Balks
At Settlement
Of Trieste Case
By FRANCIS W. CARPENTER
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (fl
Russia's Andrei Y. Vlshinskv
served notice Thursday the Soviet
Union-never will agree to a Trieste
settlement reached without Mos
cow's participation.
He gave this blunt warninc to -
the ligation U. N. Security Coun
cil at tne end of a w-minute Speech
in which he charted the United
States and Britain violated the It
alian Peace Treaty by deciding
recently to turn over the admini
stration of the American and Brit
ish tone, known as Zone A, to the
Italians.
Henry Cabot Lodze Jr.. chief
American delegate, touched off
fireworks in the council by charge
oing that the Russians brought up
the Trieste issue only, to make
trouble and spread propaganda.
Vishinsky ; angrily lashed back
that Trieste long had been on the
council agenda and was no sew
problem in that body. He charged
that the West had nominated per
sons to be governor of Trieste but
had repudiated them as soon as
the Russians approved ihem.
It seems our approval is a ta
boo or aplague," the red-faced
Vishinsky said.
Shortly after the council meetins
Vishinsky turned up as a guest at
a Yugoslav reception. It was the
first time the Soviet delegate had
attended a Yugoslav social func
tion here since Yugoslavia was
kicked out of the Cominfonn In
1948.
Russia re - established normal
diplomatic relations with Yugoslav
ia only last month. The first reac
tion, of Western delegates to Vi
shinsky's surprise appearance was
that it was a move to woo Presi
dent Tito s government back' into
the Soviet orbit.
