CO GHEES (3335 BSD 057 SGEjSD Power Economy Future Of Atom Said at Stake Washington ''U.R) The government wants private industry to take on one of the meanest, nastiest, toughest, and costliest chores In the whole atomic energy business. , It hopes private companies will do the job better than it does. The future of economic atomic power for peace is at stake. This chore is the chemical processing of nuclear fuel elements that have been used in research or power reactors. Involved in it is the still unsolved problem of safe disposal of radioactive wastes. Dr. Frank Pittman, deputy director of the Atomic Energy Com mission's Civilian Application Division, told the United Press "it is extremely important" that private industry get into the chemi cal processing field. In no other way, he said, can a "completely integrated" and "well rounded" private atomic Industry become established. In an announcement overshad owed in the news last week by the President's State of the Un ion message, the AEC asked private industry to submit pro posals' some 18 months from now for building and operating Its own chemical processing plants. Important Step. It described the offer "as a further step toward private own ership of atomic energy facili ties for peaceful uses." Indus try already is moving into the atomic power field and other applications of nuclear energy for profit. But officials have stated often that atomic power cannot be come competitive with other kinds of energy in any general sense until chemical processing SPORTS Grid Change Suggestions Unimportant Los Angeles (U.R) The NCAA football rules committee went' into session today in Long Beach with the prospect of doing little or nothing that will change the game for 1956. Fritz Crisler, athletic director at University of Michigan and chairman of the committee, says about 60 suggestions have been received but none of them "are of significance." "It appears that most every ' one, including the fans, is happy with the present rules," said Crisler. It was revealed that Frank McCormick, boss of officials for the Pacific Coast conference had received proposals for about 250 changes in rules but most of these have been eliminated be fore the session gets underway. Committee Appointments Still leff for officials to handle are the appointment of the ex ecutive committee and the 1956 TV committee. The latter is expected to bear the brunt of some . proposed changes in the rules regarding sectional handling of televised football game. The voting as sembly of 212 Wednesday gave a "go ahead" signal to the group to use the 1955 standards. -But there may be some protest. The only man who voted against us ing the 1955 set-up again this year was Edward Moose Krause, athletic director at Notre Dame a long time foe of controlled television. - ' becomes cheaper and more effi cient. It is one of the big cost factors delaying the day of eco nomic atomic power. After atomic fuel has been used for a while it must be re processed to recover unspent fuel, newly produced fuel, "fer tile materials" which can be changed into fuel, and various radioactive materials which may be useful in industry or research. The remaining "hot" mate rials must be stowed somewhere, somehow, for as long as 200 years in a fashion guaranteeing that they will not damage plant and animal life, including peo ple, or contaminate soil, water, or other resources. The government maintains mammoth chemical processing facilities at its big atomic pro duction plants, such as Hanford, Wash., and Sayannah River, S. C. . Because used fuel slugs from these big plants spit deadly ra diation comparable to tons of radium, the work of handling and processing them must be done by remote control behind shielded walls. It is time-consuming and cost ly. Pittman said the government hopes private industry will find means of sharply reducing the costs and of making the process generally more efficient.'

C. Jones Case Killed by NCAA Los Angeles (U.R) Uni versity of San Francisco's un beaten basketball team will be without the services of K. C. Jones, its captain and star guard if it gets a second crack at the NCAA championship this season. Jones' case was brought be fore the NCAA council yester day but a resolution to extend his eligibility failed to receive a second and died on the floor without action. Jones played only one game in the 1953-54 season because of an operation and USF sought to get an extra year of eligibility for him. He 'was permitted by the California Basketball associ ation to play in league games. USF Coach Phil Woolpert said in San Francissco he expected the denial of eligibility, but termed the TSTCAA "a negative body," because the case was brushed off without a vote. Mary's Casa M. Dyer V.
