It hopes to have the plane ready for flight within five years. The team is headed by Sir Arnold Hall, former head of the royal aircraft establishment at Farnborough and new technical director of the Hawker-Sidde-ley Aircraft group. The company announced that Hall and his scientific-technical assistants already are working on a preliminary survey at the government's atomic energy re search station at Harwell. Sources said the company al ready is negotiating for a site for a permanent research station and hopes to have the first plane to use the energy of the atom for power on the runway before 1960. Shoebox Reactor Informed sources said that a "breeder" reactor which pro vides more atomic power than it consumes may be the elemen tary power unit in the . plane. The reactor can be built no big ger than a shoebox, according to the sources. A major snag in the construc tion of such reactars hitherto has been the fact that only pure uranium or plutonium can be used. The price of these metals is expected to fall sufficiently in the next few years to make atomic propulsion profitable the sources said. Other problems the British scientists and aviation experts will have to overcome include designing of some type of safe ty device to prevent the reactor from spilling out radioactivity over a wide area in the event of Electric Shaver Service & Sales THE WORLD'S FINEST ELECTRIC SHAVER Never before have we offered a shaving instrument to compare with this new Remington 60 DeLuxe !

Notices of increased rates on 1956 payrolls went to 6,141 of the 11,798 employers who were under the experience rating system in both years. Reasons Listed Most of the increases were due to the sliding rate sched ules adopted by the 1955 Leg islature because of the declin ing reserve fund. The new schedule provides a general rise of .3 per cent and one penalty rate above 2.7 per cent for the first time since 1941. Lower 'rates were awarded to 752 employers whose reserves gained considerably during the 1954-55 fiscal year. Tax rate changes were limited to two brackets, affecting 86 firms with rate reductions and 1,459 with rate rises. Until Dec. 14 the commission will accept volun tary contributions from em ployers who can add to their reserves enough to lower their 1956 taxes.
