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.

by Mrs. I. E. Schuler, who left
Medford in April to spend sev

Vienna where she expects to
make an extended stay).
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

There are 22,700,000 men, aft

As the result of the scarcity

for others a vacation of even a

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.
