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

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

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

charges of drunkenness, possess-

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.

turns for the first year of the
1952-53 biennium will total $62,

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.
