SIXTEEN MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, July 16, 1952 - STEAM GENER ATOP USING MODEL of atomic submarine, Capt. Hyman G. Rickover, Navy's nuclear power expert, explains how it operates. Heat is cre ated in nuclear reactor by fission of uranium. This heat is trans ferred to steam generator which drives turbine from which power is transmitted to propellers. Craft has enormous range (International) Atomic Power May Bring Quick End to Superliner's Reign as Queen of Seas by DELOS SMITH Science Editor New York U.R Ship designers and propulsion engin eers have suggested that the new super-liner United States might be a has-been in less than half the time it took to make her predecessors obsolete as queen of the seas. They meant atomic power would drive her successors. Some believed she might be the last ocean giant propelled by oil-fueled machinery. Twenty to 30 years have been the life times of previous "queens" as first class ships. Reluctant to Prophesy The designing fraternity was reluctant to prophesy on the very day the 53,000- ton beau ty returned to her home dock after winning both the East West and West-East speed rec ords. Not one would be quoted it was a matter of "courtesy." But the men who lose inter est in ships when they've left the drawing boards and are in terested mainly in the ships of the future, pointed to that which the Atomic Energy Commission has permitted to be known about the application of atomic power to ship propulsion. Only last June 14, President Truman laid the keel of the projected atomic-powered sub marine Nautilus and said: "This vessel is the fore-runner of atom ic powered merchant ships and airplanes." The press was given to understand that the Nautilus would be operating "within a year or two." Engineers pointed out that 'f an atomic reactor could be made to propel a submarine under water, it would be no trick at all for atoms to propel a ship on the surface. Agriculture Policy Review To Continue 'Under Wraps' - i ' . u : mm a a dlllllKluII " u.r. .nil rxg- riculture Department spokesman said Tuesday the department's controversial "farm policy re view" will be kept under wraps possibly another month at least until after the political con ventions. The review, which may play an explosive part in election campain attempts to wqo the critical farm vote, has been in the works since last summer, when Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan ordered a nationwide survey cf farm op . inion. Farm Policy Summary For the past seven months ag riculture officials have been pre paring a long-delayed summary of the ideas' and suggestions on government farm policies that poured in from . farmers. The ;ummary has been completed, but its publication has hit a pol itical snag. The spokesman said many members of the non-government advisory group, which will be consulted before the department makes the review public, have been busy conferring with plat form committees of both the Democratic and Republican par ties. The advisers are scheduled I to review the farmers' suggest ions and make recommendations to Brannan on farm policy. Ready To Go "We're all ready to go," the spokesman said, "but we are not going to try to get the advis ory group together until after the conventions are out of the way." The department failed to get the advisers together before the Republican convention, and it is felt that calling a meeting just prior to the Democratic conven tion would leave the department open to charges of "politics." The farm survey, labeled the "Family Farm Policy Review" already has been branded with a political tag by President Al lan B. Kline of the powerful Farm Bureau Federation. Charge Politics The farm bureau has charged that the timing of the release of the survey is designed to furn ish the Democrats with campaign fodder. Brannan said he ordered the review because he wanted to give farmers a chance to express their sentiments on farm policy.

Conditions in Vienna Seen Improved Over 4 Years Ago (Editor's note: The following have been, as the Russians drove likehellee, and are considered notoriously bad drivers. But the general blamed them, and I suppose the more he knew he was wrong, the more he bluster ed, but at any rate he tried to take them to jail. Mrs. S. was terribly frightened because re gardless of whose fault it was it would make no difference if the Russians happened to want the car. They held up traffic for two hours; the suspense was dreadful. Then finally he let them go. It cost them 12,000 schillings to have the car re paired in our money $480, which is a lot of money. Remember Customers I also went into the famous Vahliss china shop. I asked about some cups for my daughter's set. I told her that my daugh ter had bought the china four years ago. "Oh yes," she said. This was the astonishing thing about these Austrians they do not forget customers "I remember your daughter very well, although she was not my customer she was blond and always had her little girl with her. The little girl must be ready for school now?" Business, she said, is steady and good. Many things are sent to America every day. I don't know when they buy them, for I fee! as though I.were the only American in the city, with the exception of those who have to be. By MRS. I. E. SCHULER Vienna, Austria In compar ison to the Vienna we saw four years ago, there is a great im provement. I arrived this time at night, and was astonished to see all the lights, and traffic. Four years ago, riding at night through Vienna was like going through a canyon, the only noise being that of the car.' The stores were dark as soon as it was dusk, there were no automo biles. An American car was con spicuous, and often swllen ex pressions followed it. People crossing streets looked bewilder ed, if a car appeared they were slow in their reflexes due to lack of vitamins; children were fat and pasty looting. Ev erything was dirty. Rubble from bombings was everywhere. Today it is marked ly different. Hundreds of little shops with shining windows dis play beautiful pastries, jewelry, leather goods, shoes, electric equipment in fact everything you would see in our windows at home. There are many cars, and there are agencies for prac tically all American . cars (al though I am told there is much black market skullduggery there). Women and girls, at least in the downtown streets, wear ny lon hose and good looking shoes. However, there is a lusty squeak in many of the men's shoes. There are now slop and go sig nals. A great deal of construc tion is being done in the Ameri can sector, buildings are being rebuilt and new fronts put on old buildings. The parks are cared for, fountains are running, innumerable outdoor restaurants are open for business. I think many of the statues have been washed, and there are more sta tues than there are flies in Vien na. Firm Repaired Otto's Schmidt's, a huge an tique reproduction business, which when we were here be fore was in bad shape, having been bombed, is now again, al most as good as it once had been. Where there were only piles of antique, marvelous sample furn iture from all over the world, and you practically crawled ov er them, through dark, dusty rooms, now there are orderly shows rooms, light and pleasant. I went in, and Mrs. Schmidt greeted me. and remembered Jean and Walker as they had been there many times. She told me that business was good. They have big orders from England, the United States, and a steady clientele from Vienna. Then she told me something that happened to them last win ter which I though was interest ing. They she and Mr. Schmidt were riding one day early this spring on the Semmcring, which is in- the Soviet Zone, when a Russian General ran into them. It was entirely his fault, Mrs. S. said, and it could well German Women Doomed To Spinsterhood by War Bonn, Germany U.R) Three million "surplus'' German wom en are condemned to spinster hood as the result of the war, the West German statistical of fice sail this week. There are 22,700,000 men, aft er the loss of an estimated. 3, 000,000 in the war, and 25, 700,000 women. As the result of the scarcity of males there are many adver tisements by girls for "male companionship" in the newspa pers. Some seek lifetime mates, for others a vacation of even a week end suffices. Calcutta, India (U.R) Thousands of persons were homeless Tuesday as floods swept most of Assam and West Bengal.

ZAGICS APPLIANCE CO. 220 WEST MAIN Iowa Girls' Band Sails for Scotland Montreal (U.R) An all-girl bagpipe band from Iowa sailed for Southampton, England yest erday to prove to doubtful Scots that they weren't "half-nude" girls playing "jazz or be-bop." The 60-piece band, known as the Scottish Highlanders and re cently involved in a dispute with the City Council of Aberdeen, sailed aboard the Swiss steam ship Arosa Kulm. The Aberdeen city council this spring rejected an offer by the Iowa girls to play and pa rade in the streets of the Scot tish city and added some rer marks about American bagpipe players. One of the Council members said the all-girl band probably consisted of a few "half-nude" girls playing "jazz or be-bop." The girls replied indignantly that the charges were unfound ed and that the Council's lan guage had been a little strong. The girls will visit France, England, Holland and Switzer land, as well as Scotland. COMPAHE-See Why Rising Sales Prove AGKARD IB Todays BigYalue At Medium-Car Cost!
