The Han ford Story-
(The following is the third of a
series' of seven articles disclos
ing the highlights and sidelights
i which have accompanied the na
! lion's development of atomic
I energy. Prepared at the Hanford
j atomic energy plant, the series
, deals with the human things
! which followed in ths wake of
! the first historic announcement
; that man has harnessed the atom.
It touches upon the things which
lie ahead.)
By Bill Jury
General Electric News Bureau'
Kanford Atomic Plant
Atomic energy and its deve
lopment has been pictured as a
vast and mysterious operation,
imagined run by groups of bushy
haired little men who carry
pocketfuls of gamma rays and
drag behing them long chain re
actions. But Misconceptions of this new
phase of development in Ameri
ca's industrial and scientific his
tory rapidly is being dispelled as
official facts and information are
reported to help shed light into
the shadows of the unknown.
Atomic energy was developed
in time of war, and as long as
we live in a world of war and
under threats of war, secrecy
must guard those phases that are
important to the security of the
nation. But much of the atomic
story can be reported to the pub
lic, and much of It is being told
today through congressional and
Atomic Efiergy Commission rep
resentatives. Researchers at the General
Electric Company-operated Han
ford atomic energy plant foresee
the day when workmen will han
dle radiation problems as routine.
They predict farmers will utilize
atomic Isotopes in their crop
planning, just as they now em
ploy types of fertilizer, and terms
like "fission," "reactor," and
"neutrons" will become house
hold words.
Industrial nuclear power points
toward the use of atomic energy
in much the same way that ener
gy from the burning of coal is
utilized in an electric power plant.
The difference is that one pound

of uranium-233, completely fis
sioned, yields energy equivalent
to that obtained from burning
1500 tons of coal, or 300,000 gal
lons of gasoline.
The practical means of direct
conversion of atomic energy to
electricity so far has escaped
achievement, although if the
promise of the new atomic bat
tery is fulfilled on a large scale,
the power plant of tomorrow will
need only an atomic generator
and direct cables to connect power
straight to far-flung communi
ties. Boilers, engines and cum
bersome electric generators con
ceivably could become as obso
lete as the candle.
Atomic isotopes, for example,
can effect our everyday lives in
almost every field of endeavor.
They play a major role in diagno
sis and treatment for health. They
can be employed to separate ions
in the water treatment, metal re
covery, antibiotics, and numerous
other phases of industry.
Transportation systems could
be revolutionized. The first atomic-powered
submarine already
has been tested satisfactorily.
Atomic-powered ocean liners are
seen as a definite possibility for
the future. Scientists now are
working to find the key to atomic-propelled
aircraft
Atomic energy is so new, so big,
so revolutionary and so full of
commercial possibilities for the
future that many American cor
porations have been attracted to
the field. These companies are I
engaged in engineering studies,
spending their own money in at
tempts to produce answers to the
foremost question of economical
nuclear power.
Nuclear physics is an infant
science; the things tnat are
known are as nothing compared
to the things unknown. Locked
up in the atom is practically all
the energy of the universe, an
energy in such fantastic quan-

New Producers Tags
Soon to Be Required
For Carcass Shipping
New produce tags for the move
ment of carcasses of cattle, calves,
sheep and hogs will be available
in this county after August 3 from
Harold B. Johnston and Edgar G.
Alberts, both of Heppner.
This word comes from the state
department of agriculture at
Salem, which also says producers
may get the free tags from the
brand inspectors at livestock
sales yards.
Under 1955 amendments to the
gasoline cowboy act which
always has required producers to
tag carcasses moved from the pre
mises where slaughtered only
one tag will be necessary. Tags to
move poultry and rabbit carcas
ses will not be needed after Aug
ust 3.
The legislature also put dis
tribution of these tags in the
hands of the department's brand
inspectors and others designated
by the department. "We hope,"
says M. E. Knickerbocker, animal
division chief, "to maintain the
same high level of identification
reached by the sheriffs of Oregon
in the many years they have
handled these tags. In a few
counties, producers will still be
able to obtain tags through the
sheriff's office."
In readiness for the switch-over
the department has distributed
tn entirely new type of producer
tag. After August 3 the old tags
will 'not be recognized by the
state.

You and the West profit
when Standard changes a dollar
Like you and your family, Standard Oil Company
of California has to have money coming in to keep
going. And like you, we must divide every dollar of
this income into quite a few pieces to keep the bills
paid. Our budgeting is naturally on a large scale, but
the result is about the same: most of the money
Standard takes in goes right back into circulation.
And when a sum like $1,229,000,000 (our total in
come last year) goes into circulation, its benefits are
broad and deep. Practically everyone in the West
shared, directly or indirectly, in Standard's good
year. We thank you for your patronage that made
it possible. And we'd like you to know that a sizable
piece of change from each of our dollars goes for
things that improve service to you: research facilities
for development of better products at low cost; new
plants to make them more available; widespread ex
ploration for new petroleum fields to help keep
America's oil barrel full. To do these jobs, now and for
the future, here's how we changed a Standard dollar:
w from every dollar went
for wages, services and goods. Of this
$471,500,000 the largest item was for
payroll, vacations, sickness pay
ments, other employee benefits. Most
of the rest went to buy supplies, frofh
paper clips to steel, bought locally
when possible. Standard was a cus
tomer of thousands of Western firms.
