TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. November 16, 1954 Contributing ireat Bntian Joins in Material for 'Atoms for Peace' Plan United Nations, N. Y. (U.R) Britain joined the United States todav in contributing fissionable material to help put President Eisenhower's "atoms for peace" tlan into oneration. . British Minister of State An thony Nutting told the U.N. Main Political Committee that his government -would earmark 20 . kilograms . (44.1 pounds) of fissionable material to serve as fuel in experimental atomic re actors. United States Allotment Told ; ;The United States announced yesterday that it had allocated 100 kilograms (220.5 pounds) of nuclear material to be used to fuel reactors abroad in connec tion with the program for the peaceful use of the atom. '"The American announce ment is easily the equivalent of 100 eloquent speeches" answer ing Soviet delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Philippines delegate Salvador P. Lopez said. The announcement; which dip lomats said gave "dramatic im petus" to the Eisenhower plan was made by U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., at the end of a reply to Vishinsky in DON'T FORGET the United Nations Main Politi cal Committee yesterday. The Announcement "I am authorized by the Pres ident of the United States to say that the Atomic Energy Com mission has allocated 100 kilo grams of fissionable material to serve as fuel in the experimental reactors to which the Secretary of State and I have previously referred," Lodge said. "This amount of fissionable material is enough to activate a considerable number of these reactors throughout the world." The precise type of fissionable material was not specified. It was considered unlikely it would be the weapons-grade U-238 used in atomic and hydrogen weapons but probably be either plutonium or U-235. . Your Friends in Servict Write often.

Shasta County Dam Permit Being Sought Washington (U.R) The Pa cific Gas and Electric company has applied for permission to build a $24,000,000 hydroelec tric project on the Pit river in Shasta county, Calif., the Fed eral Power commission said to day. The proposed project would include a concrete gravity dam about 230 feet high, a reservoir with a capacity of about 34,000 acre feet, a 560-foot tunnel, two steel penstocks about 200 feet long, a powerhouse containing two 68,000-horsepower turbines, a substation, switchyard, trans mission lines and a long con crete dam about two miles down stream. The. proposed development would use water diverted from the McCloud river as well as water from the Pit. In case the overall project is not authorized, the PG&E sub mitted, an alternate' plan calling for slightly smaller turbines and using water only from the Pit river. . Lodge previously told the com mittee in response to Vishinsky's questions as to how the diver sion of material from peaceful to warlike uses could be avoided: No Question "There are forms of peaceful utilization in which no question of weapon-grade material arises. In the activities proposed for the immediate future . . . weapon grade materials would not be involved." The figure supplied by Lodge was the same suggested last week by Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines who Missing Spokane Plane Located Spokane U.R) A Beechcraft Bonanza carrying four persons on a flight from Spokane to Los Angeles was located at Fresno, Calif., today after being report ed missing throughout the night, the Civil Aeronautics adminis tration here said.

NO PRESS CONFERENCE Washington (U.R) ; Presi dent Eisenhower will not hold a news conference tomorrow be cause he has scheduled a long bi-partisan foreign policy meet ing with congressional leaders. said Russia and the United States "should be willing to contribute the equvalent of one atomic weapon, say 220 pounds of fis sionable materials." Norway's veteran diplomat Finn Moe said the 220 pounds was enough for "10 atomic bombs." Duke Discusses Marilyn Monroe London (U.R) The Duke of Edinburgh talked with Jane Russell about Marilyn Monroe last night. The husband of Queen Eliz abeth II walked along the line of movie stars attending the glittering royal film perform ance and stopped in front of Miss Russell.

The economists said a large factor in the expected boom will be "a new record in both private and public building. They pre dicted new construction will hit 39Vi billion dollars compared to this year's expected record of 37 billions. ' The government also reported that corporations which publish dividend statements paid ' out seven billions in cash to their stockholders during the first 10 months of this year, $500,000, 000 more than, in the same per iod of 1953. Overall dividend payments, including non-reporting firms, were believed to total about $10, 500,000 for the 10-month period. The construction estimate was contained in a joint repbrt by the Commerce and Labor depart ments which predicted that a record $26,400,000,000 will be spent for private building and a record $12,100,000,000 for pub lic construction. : A "water-boy" was employed on passenger trains in the 1840's.
