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. .

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

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 actress had
been sewn into her tight ivory
and gold gown after a last-minute
decision that a more reveal
ing dress she intended to wear
was a bit too bold for the queen's
eyes. '
"What are you doing over
here?" the Duke said to the Ac
tress. "I'm making a film 'Gentle
men Prefer Brunettes,' " she re
plied, smiling. .--
"So you're getting even with
Marilyn Monroe, are you?" the
Duke said.
Both Miss Monroe,, a blonde,
and brunette Miss Russell ap
peared in the movie "Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes." -

Economists See
'55 Business Boom
Secor.il To Record
Washington (U.R) Gov
ernment economists said today
there will be a business boom in
1955 which may rank second to
1953's record peak.
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.
Before the days of news butch
ers and dining cars, he went
through coaches carrying a tray
of glasses and a pitcher of ice
water.
The Medical Officers Reserve
Corps, established in 1908, is the
oldest organized reserve element
of the United States Army. It
was the forerunner of the re
serve program instituted by the
National Defense Act of 1916.
