Industrial Power From Atomic Energy Seen in 5-10 Years Washington U.R) Atomic energy will be generating indus trial power in five to 10 years. It would not be surprising if Great Britain turned the trick before either the United States or Canada. Entire cities, in fuel-hungry nations like Britain, may be lighted by atomic energy in 15 years. Estimate From Experts These estimates, cutting five to 10 years off "educated guesses" made as recently as a year ago, come from experts: Gordon Dean, chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commis sion; Dr. Walter H. Zinn, direc tor of the AEC's Argonne Na tional Laboratory; C. D. Howe, rannHian minion nl Twa nnd Commerce and Defense Production. The U. S. atomic project is far bigger than Britain s or Canada s. But most of the U. S. effort, thanks to Russia, has been de voted to weapons. Projects About Even In the power field, the British end U. S. projects are running sibout even. Canada's power de velopment etioris are sua large on paper, out sne nas some or the .world best research reac tors machines for putting toms to work and Is in good position to catch up. As to when atomic energy will be harnessed for industrial pow er. Dean told the United Press that "our best guess is within five to 10 years." "By this time, he said, "we Medford United Press full Leased Wire Tribune United Preu Full Leased WUe Second Section MEDORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1952 Pages 1-6 feel we should have a reactor capable of producing power for commercial use in at least cer tain localities where the cost of other fuels is high." Arrangements Hoped The AEC hopes to make ar rangements with private indus try to operate reactors which manufacture the atomic explo sive plutonium while at the same time producing electric power. As to an atomic plant that would produce economic power without regard to the military market for plutonium. Dean said: "I would say that we might, have such a reactor within 10 years." U, S. Fuel Cost Less Dean pointed out that neither Britain nor Canada is carrying the atomic weapons load that the U. S. is and that the cost of con ventional fuel in this country is only half to two-thirds what it is in Britain. "This means," he said, "that atomic power can probably be made competitive in Britain sooner than it could over here, and it gives them an added in centive to develop a new source of power." ROBBED INTO JAIL Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R)When J. D. Parsons reported the theft of $12 and a woman's suit to po lice, he soon found himself in jail. Detectives went to investi gate, then arrested Parsons on charges of drunkenness, possess- j ing whiskey and carrying a pis-'tol. Girl Gives Away $3,500,000 Over Six-Year Period New York (U.R) Money, you might say, means nothing to Jan ice Gilbert. She has given away $3,500,000 in crisp bills in the last six years. It isn't her money, but it's her job, as the paying teller of "Break the Bank," to hand over the prize money to winners. Five mornings a week in a CBS radio studio and on Sunday over tele vision Janice clutches a fistful of dough and waits nervously for somebody to give the right ans wers. Once she gave a couple an ex tra $100 bill by mistake. An other time she came out $200 short. People, the 25-year-old radio actress Insists, are basically hon est, however. $100 Returned "The couple I gave the extra $100 to returned it," Janice said. "Very few people try to cheat to give the right answers. It is very gratifying."- The biggest windfall the pretty brunette ever handed to any of the quiz program contestants was $11,500. There wasn't a guard or a gun in the studio while she held the sizeable sum and rooted for the winning couple. "I get so excited rooting for some of the contestants that any thing can happen," she said. "Once I bit my tongue so hard they had to take me to the doc tor and have it stitched. A man was up to the big payoff question and I was afraid he wouldn't know the answer. When he got it right, I was so excited I bit down hard on my tongue." Tears Her Gown Another time she shredded what she thought was her chif fon handkerchief, only it turned out to be the full skirt of her evening dress, so she had to walk in front of the television cam eras with her torn skirt trailing. Janice does all right on the financial side in her private life, since she's been a successful radio actress from childhood. "I used to ploy the part of Lit tle Orphan Annie on that radio serial, and all kinds of other children's parts," she said. "I guess my yearly income hit five figures before I even was in my teens. But I never got as excited over earning it as I do over giving it away." Heavy Taxation Becomes Serious Problem in Nation, McKay Says Salem (U.R) Gov. Douglas ' $50,000,000 collected in the first McKay said Monday heavy tax ation has become a "very ser ious" problem in this country, with one dollar of every three going for taxes, and he recalled that a similar situation was an important factor to the decline and fall of the Roman empire. Gov. McKay, who appeared informally at the meeting of the Legislative Tax Study Interim committee, observed that maybe government should do what pri vate business does when it finds itself going consistently "into the red" pare expenses, paying attention to the dimes to result in ultimate savings of dollars. One way to trim expenses, he suggested was for government agencies to raise taxes at their own levels local for local pur poses, state for state purposes and federal for federal pur poses. He pointed to the fact that the federal government places a tax of two cents a gallon on gaso line the state tax is six cents then sends a good share of it back to the stales but not as much as the citizens of those states paid out in the first place. But this federal money looks like a "windfall" and he said perhaps there was a tendency to spend this more liberally. The governor, who suggested that the interim committee might want to give some study to the idea of each governmental level raising its own taxes for its own expenditures, concluded that a government can't con tinue to live beyond its income any more than can an individ ual. The state, like the federal government, has been spending faster than it has been collect ing. He noted that rising costs and the necessity for heavy expendi tures for construction at state institutions because they were neglected during war years could not be averted. But he cautioned: "No family, no business and no government can live beyond its income and survive." State Sen. Eugene Marsh of MeMinnville is chairman of the tax study interim committee.

May Ease Situation Members of the committee noted that increased income tax collections likely would some what ease Oregon's financial situation, although the 1951 legislature had figured in a 22 per cent increase in income tax collections. It was also noted that cost of state government was on the increase as well as collections. Chairman Marsh said the principal task of the committee is to provide a method whereby all state revenues can be divert ed for general appropriation purposes, eliminating all offset provisions in Oregon's present tax law. It ' should also try to remove the state as far as pos sible from the property tax field, leaving that to county and local governments. And it should prepare a state ment of the state's financial sit uation before next November's general election so that the voters can be informed when voting on financial measures. No Deep Freeze Scandal in Oregon Salem (U.R) There'll be no deep freeze for government em ployees at the state ' level, State Finance Director Harry Dorman said Monday. Dorman rejected a request from the wife of a highly-placed state institution employee that she be permitted to buy a deep freeze through the state at wholesale price. Dorman noted that most re quests for such luxury items came from officials best able to pay. He s-iid several employees at state institutions doctors at the state tuberculosis hospital, state mental hospital and Fairview home and officials at the state penitentiary and other institu tions who must be on constant call get state-built homes at nom inal rent. And included are rea sonably necessary articles of fur niture and accessories. One- very highly placed offi cial recently requested solid sil ver service, the finest china on the market, the fanciest in glass ware from cordial size to tum bler Fostoria, no less and was disconcerted when Dorman said no.
