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.
SOMETHING MISSING
MITCHELL, Ind.dJ.R) Robert
Burton and Buster Briscoe, used
car salesmen, had a good prospect
in sight but their car wouldn't
start. They decided to push it to
get the engine warmed up. They
had pushed it a few miles when
they decided to slop at a filling
station. All their car needed was
a gas tank.
