Klenlen iTnltoH Press Correspondent W, VnrV Atiir. 9 (U.R) It will be a long time before atomic power comes into every-day use. Our leading Industrialists agree on that almost unanimously. In time a long time it will be developed for peaceful pur luits," said Dr. M. Lelyn Branin, ' Inthn1pnl mnstiltnnt of the Bi- lminf.i fnnl institute. It Will undoubtedly be generations be fore the atom will make all the nation's steel, power the nation ! tivps. ppnerate the elec trinKv nr furnish the billions of hours of industrial horsepower that coal does now, let alone neai the nation's homes." T.llta Liahtnlna Charles W. Kellogg, president of the Edison Electric rasuiuie, mnA atnmin nnwpr in its oresent stage of development was akin to lightning. 'We all know what lightning Is, and can do, but we haven't learned yet how to control It" he said. Most agreed with Dr. W. A. IVihnno rpspnrch director of U. S. ' Rubber Company that "for the generation of large quanti ties of power ana 10 overcome the geographical limitations in obtaining power, atomic energy seems to be the answer." But they did not think the day of atomic power would be soon. One stumbling block is the cost. It was pointed out that in ....Wltna nnlv can S2 000. 000.- 000 experimental cost such as that on the atomic oomu oe borne. Much To Learn The weekly bulletin of the Anthracite institute, whose mem bers control $400,000,000 worth of mines, commented: It has been stated that coal could produce over 3,000,000 times as much energy If used atomlcally. Instead of combus tion. Obviously this would revo lutionize the generation of heat and power, since at this ration, one-sixth of an ounce of coal would equal the annual average Vill requirements of an average home, and twenty tons would replace current annual anthra cite production. "However, there are three un answered questions which lead to the prediction that It will be many years before the breakers ire torn down to make room for itomlc factories. "The first is, can atomic ener gy be controlled and directed? The second is that uranium and the other materials now report edly being used all have the hfnvirt most enmnlex atoms which are relatively unstable and Comparatively easy to split. Carbon, on the other hand, has one of the lightest, least complex atoms, which would Indicate much greater stability. The third nll.lmnnrlnnt nilftfttinn ill how much It would cost to process a piece of conl, or, infact, any oth er material Into a form that made it capable of heating a house. PmrilHInn Recalled Thnrn wn litilrt tpnripnpV In Industry, however, to belittle the ultimate effects of atomic power. It was recalled that Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff, president of the Radio Corporation of Amer ica, said in a speech to the Asso ciation of Commerce in Chicago, Jan. 30, 1941, that "the most im portant event" of 1940 was "the isolation of the atomic compon ent of the element uranium, known as U-235." He predicted then that "when the latent energy of the atom finally becomes universally available, It will run factories; light, heat and refrigerate homes, furnish power for everything fro n ocean liners to pocket radio transmitters and receivers." s FOUND IN RAID ON DANCE HALL Suspension of the license of the Wagon Wheel dance hall In the Griffin Creek district is un der consideration following in vestigation by the juvenile office, a representative of the Oregon Liquor Control Commis sion and sheriff's deputies Sat urday night, according to Dis trict Attorney George Neilson.
