The Atomic Energy Commis
sion of which Admiral Lewis
Strauss is chairman runs the
government show in atomic en
ergy. Looking over its shoulder
is the Joint Committee ol Con
gress whose chairman is Sen.
Clinton P. Anderson of New Mex
ico. This committee rides herd
closely on the AEC. Last March
it set up a special panel of civil
ians to report on the Impact of
the Peaceful ' Uses of Atomic
Energy. Its chairman was Robert
McKinney, editor of The New
Mexican at Santa Fe, i friend of !
Anderson's and a very capable j
vimy uu pieviuuaiy servi'U in
government offices.
; This commitee's report has just
been made public. It foresees the
utilization of this energy source
for mankind's benefit, but doesn't
go overboard in portraying radi-
. ance of the atomic age. Disloca
tions will oceur, but the economy
should be able to take them in
stride. First, atomic power must
become economically competi
tive: "Later it may be cheap but
not free." i
The gist of the report is to
get the business going. "Large
turns of money and years of ef
fort must be spent . . . Unless and
until research and development
demonstrate that atomic -power
tan be economically feasible.
there can be no substantial im

basketball, teams are working as
five-man groups and each will
seek to be high scorer in the two
