Eugene, Ore, Page 2 1952 AEC Doubles H-Bomb Plant Cost Estimate J Construction Project ; To Exceed $1 Billion f WASHINGTON (IF) The ration's vast plant lor the pro jected hydrogen bomb will cost more than twice as much as ori ginally estimated, the Atomic Energy Commission reported Tuesday. ; Chairman Gordon Dean of the AEC declared at a news confer ence the probable cost has been' "lipped considerably" from a 600 million dollar "guesstimate" of a year and a half ago to one-fourth billion dollars at present. ; DEAN SAID the estimates were revised because it is apparent now that "reactors" will cost more than had been expected. ' Reactors are devices for making atomic explosives. The AEC had announced that the reactors at the South Carolina H-bomb plant were to be of "ad vanced" design. Dean said Tues day "the design is still not com pleted on some of them." -The new estimate was contained in the AEC's semi-annual report to Congress. 'THE COMMISSION described "intense activity" in the past six months throughout the entire atomic enterprise including an "expanding atomic weapons pro gram." It told of: " 1. FULL BLAST operation of all Its existing plants including those for making atomic explo sives. 2. PROGRESS on new construc tion entailing 3 per cent of the nation's total building expendi tures and employing nearly 2 per cent of the country's total con atnictlon force. ' 8. "CONTINUED" Increase in the output of fissionable mate rialsat a lower cost than ever. J 4. "SUBSTANTIAL" and signi ficant advances" in weapons re earch and development. ; 5. INCREASED domestic pro duction of uranium ores thanks to expanded exploration, opening of new producing areas, and incen tive bonuses for uranium produc ers who collected more than $250,- 000 in such "prizes" last year. 1 6. RESEARCH findings with radioactive isotopes that may lead to improved methods of farming "and lowered costs of food and fibre production." 7. FURTHER agricultural re search Indicating that atomic "rays," while providing no stimu His to plants, may aid in breeding new varieties of crops, and also tfld in the fight against certain orop diseases.

'MOTHER' TO EIGHT ORPHANS 15-Year-Old Head of Family Eyes Proposal of Marriage CHICAGO u.R) Pretty Patricia Green, 15, "mother" to eight orphaned children, Tues day considered a marriage pro posal from her boy friend who popped the question after her mother and older sister drown ed near their river shanty. Patricia said she was excited and happy about the offer of Elden G. Thompson, 23, but wanted a little time to think things over. "Right now I'm spending all my time caring for the other kids," the girl said. "I'm the head of the family now." Her mother, Mrs. Rose Green, 38, and sister, Carol Jean, 16, Stockman Ask A Reappraisal Of State Land McMINNVILLE (7P) A proposal to reappraise all prop er,ty in Oregon went before the Western Oregon Livestock Assoc! ation annual meeting here Monday. The resolution, which went to the tax and legislation committee for a later report, suggested that ranchers were carrying more than their share of the tax burden. Tlmberland and perhaps other property could stand higher taxes, speakers said. The proposal calls for reappraisal to correct in equalities. Archie Riekkoia, Astoria, said the public is unfriendly toward stockmen now because of meat prices, but he defended the stock men's position. He cited figures that he said proved a pound of round steak is cheaper now than in li)2B in terms of real buying power. C. A. Stearns, Portland OPS meat price specialist, is scheduled to discuss price ceilings Tuesday. drowned last Thursday In the Des Plaines River near their tumbledown home in suburban Summit.' The children's father deserted the family more than a year ago and Mrs. Green di vorced him last summer. Patricia and her brothers and sisters now are living with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Mil lard Green, in Willow Springs, 111. Thompson said he and Pa tricia, if married, could care for the two youngest Green chil dren who are one and three years old. "We could manage somehow,", ho said. "I have no other de pendents and earn $113 a week as a welder." But the youth said Patricia's age was a wrinkle in the pros pective wedding plans. "She'd have to have legal consent," he said. "But I've talked things over with authori ties and they believe it might be arranged." Thompson and the girl chat ted in the home of Patricia's grandparents. "We're both real serious," Thompson said. "We've known each other for six months, ever since she entered high school as a freshman." Patricia agreed they could manage, but said she didn't want to rush into marriage. Britain to Get Defense Grant $300,000,000 Fund Transfer Approved WASHINGTON U. The United States has granted Britain $300,000,000 to maintain the 'strength and stability" of her de fense program. The grant, which had been pub lic knowledge before the recent visit of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was the first sizeable economic aid to the British since the Marshall Plan help to Britain ended. Mutual Security Director W. Averill Harriman, who announced the grant Monday night, promised that despite the need to boost eco nomic aid to Britain, it will not be necessary to ask Congress for any additional foreign aid funds during the current fiscal year which ends June 30. Without the grant, Harriman said Britain would have been forced to cut its defense program "by more than twice as much" as $300,000,000. The money will be transferred . from military aid funds granted under the Mutual Security Pact of 1951, which au thorizes such action, at the dis cretion of the President.
