Ebasco Approved
For Dixon-Yates Job
Washington ,(U.E) The
Atomic Energy commission, in a
controversial move, has approv
ed Ebasco .Services, Inc., as
architect-engineer and construc
tion contractors for the Dixon
Yates power plant.
Ebasco has been one of the
prime targets of opponents of the
Dixon-Yates project. They point
ed to Ebascos performance in
building a power plant at Joppa,
111., to provide electricity for
the AEC installation at Paducah,
Ky.
Opponents referred to that
project as "Ebasco's Fiasco"
after construction costs exceed
ed estimates.
Ebasco also was criticized re
cently by Comptroller General
Joseph Campbell. He said the
AEC should delay approval of
the firm for designing and super
vising construction of the Dixon
Yates plant to be built at West
Memphis, Ark., until Ebasco
clears up the Joppa controversy.
Butler Says Business
Operating Under Myth
Chicago (U.R) Democratic
National Chairman Paul M. But
ler said today that business is
operating under a "myth that
Republicans are better for busi
ness than the Democrats."
He said much New Deal legis
lation has been "the protection,
the salvation of business." But
"when the political cycle now
brings the Republicans back into
power, they accept the gains
and sometimes even claim the
credit."
Butler predicted in an address
before the Executives club that
more businessmen in 1956 "will
evidence their belief that Demo
cratic policies benefit them more
than do those of the Republican
party."
Experiments reveal that if a
car with a white top and a car
with a black top are parked side
by side in the sun, the lighter
topped car will remain 15 de

Speeding on U. S. street and
highways last year killed 12,380
men, women and children.
Is That So?
Who am I? I am a color
change artist. Some of us can
flash on a '.thousand . lights in
cluding some from within our
eyes. Compared to my jet-pro-oulsion,
humans are slowpokes.
Despite my sinister reputation,
I am a shy, timid, with-drawing
creature patience is my most
evident virtue. One of my kind
grows the world's largest eye
singularly ,human-like which
may occasionally be over eight
inches across. . . . . ,
Although most of us are pear
sized, some of my close relatives
are the largest of backboneless
creatures. Blood brother of
cyster, clam and conch, I carry
a shell under my skin. I walk on
my flexible head which I can
squeeze into crevices one-tenth
of its normal width.
My parrot-like mouth . has
horny jaws and a rasping tongue
lor scraping away skin and
flesh.
Females lay eggs, some of
which may be fertilized . while
the male is basking some 500
miles away. It's like this: he
breaks off his third right arm
which contains the germ-life and
leaves the broken arm with the
female to be used for fertilizing
her eggs after they are extruded.
New arms are grown by the
male, again and again.
The newly-hatched young is
undoubtedly the most entranc
ingly beautiful of all creatures
minute, dartingly. active, big
eyed and covered with innumer
aole tiny patches, flashing, red,
yellow, green, and black a live
scintillating jewel. .
I have eight or ten rubbery
arms growing out of my head,
between eyes and mouth. Each
is provided with two rows of ap
proximately 240 cup-like suck
ers roughly totalling 2,000.
