Atomic Energy Development Big Issue in Presidential Campaign BT A. ROBEHT SMITH Mail Tribun, Correspondent Washington Atomic energy development, for the first time in American history, has be come a major political issue in a president ial campaign this fall with the Republic ans and Demo crats at odds over atomic policy. This is quite a. Robt. smiLb aside from whether H-bomb tests should be discontinued, as advocated by Adlai Stevenson, or carried for ward as endorsed by President Eisenhower and his adminstra tion. The H-bomb issue is basically military question with inter national implications, whereas the atomic energy question is one of domestic prominence, al though it too has International aspects. The atomic energy issue has implications for the Pacific Northwest because one of its chief uses is in development of electric power. Congress this past session narrowly defeated a bill for construction of a scries of atomic power reactors, one of them at the Hanford Works, Richland, Wash. How the two parties differ on the atomic energy issue is outlined by Harry R. Stringer, editor of Washington Atomic Energy Report, an independent weekly publication. He said: Emphasis Would Shift "If the Republicans win, there will be no fundamental change in the present policy, but there will be a shift in emphasis. Less will be heard about atomic pow er and its dramatic promise of making electricity so cheap that it will not pay to meter it (a prospect held out by Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.) "More will be heard about nuclear production for ships and aircraft, and even vehicles and . the opportunities it offers for peacetime applications. More will be heard about the exploits of the atom in industry, agri culture and medicine; how it may bring revolutionary changes in the preservation and packag ing of foods, and the imperative necessity of gearing up our ed ucational system for the tre mendous job of producing the specialists that will be required for the atomic age. "The foreign development pol- ciy will continue as it is with possibly more emphasis on hem ispheric plans for the utilization of the atom. Beyond de-emhpa-sizing it, there will be little change in the power develop ment program. The Atomic Energy Commission will con tinue to experiment with the pilot plants on which it is now working, adding new concepts that display promise. Industry will be encouraged in building power plants, but prudence will be the watchword." Demos Would Chang It "If the Democrats win, there will be radical changes made in the policy and conduct of the peacetime program. The fund amental policy will underscore power development. A 'crash program' of prototype reactor construction as proposed in the Gore-Holifield bills, which were defeated in last session of Con gress, will be undertaken. "A virgorous program of de velopment will be initiated abroad. The Democrats do not intend to wait until a vague time in the future when this country attains technological superiority in building reactors. They insist that this policy now in effect is seriously impairing American prestige in world atomic affairs and is vitiating the whole atoms-for-peace pro gram. "The atomic energy act will be revamped. Chairman Clinton Anderson (D-N.Mex.) of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy is now preparing a bill to reorganize the AEC to separ ate the commission's research. development and production ac tivities from its licensing and regulatory functions." "Should the status quo a Republican administration and a Democratic Congress 1 be maintained, the atom doubtless ly will be become more deeply enmeshed in politics." In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Southern Oregon College Site of Regional Confab Ashland The northwest asso ciation for supervision and cur riculum development regional conference was held in Ashland recently with Dr. Gertrude Noar, director of education for the anti-defamation league of B'nai B'rith, as leader. Tne first meeting was held at Lincoln school with Dr. Bill Sampson, professor of education at Southern Oregon college, pre siding. Dr. Noar discussed hu man relations and curriculum. Preceding her address, a tea was held by the Ashland Teach ers' association with Mrs. Dor thea Bushnell, president, -Mrs. Charlotte Hull, social chairman. and her committee in charge Miss Florence Allen and i Miss Bertha Stephens assisted. Initiation Ceremonies Miss Mary Thums, president of the John D. McAulay chapter of the Future Teachers of Amer ica, conducted initation ceremo nies for 24 initiates. During the meeting, Dr. Noar spoke on teaching in a modern school. A breakfast for group leaders and recorders was directed by Mrs. Betty Lou Dunlop, assistant professor of education at SOC. Others who participated in the program included Dr. Sampson, and Miss H.

The marriage proposal was cabled by an un identified 50-year-old multi-millionaire maharajah. Narriman divorced Farouk after he was de posed in 1951.

Discussion leaders were Otis Johnson, principal of Grants Pass Junior High school; Elliott Becken, assistant superintendent of Medford schools; Miss Doro thy Masters, assistant professor of education at SOC; and Mrs. Isabelle Brixner, elementary su pervisor at Klamath county. i I less Food Being Developed Washington U.P.) Science is coming up with another big break for American housewives food that will keep for weeks without spoiling. Experts reported today they now have evidence that poultry, fish, ham, beef, sausage, lobster and many other perishable foods can be kept fresh for long per iods with antibiotics. The drugs kill bacteria which cause most food spoilage. The scientists said use of the drugs will mean far less waste one out of every four pounds of food now goes into the garbage can. It also may mean fewer stomach upsets and a significant increase in the world's food sup plies. The optimistic reports were made at the final session of the Food and Drug Administration's fourth annual symposium on anti-biotics. Several hundred ex perts from the United States and nine other countries have taken part. NOT ON LIST Nantucket, Mass. (U.R) Is land residents here, rather proud of their whaling and Revolu tionary forebears, are wearing red faces these days. A Univer sity of Massachusetts historian recently revealed that only one of 19 persons listed on a DAR chapter plaque actually served in the Revolutionary War. On the political front, Tom Dewey describes Adlai Steven son's proposal to quit experi menting with H-bombs as "an invitation to national suicide." Vice President Nixon de scribes Stevenson himself as "in credibly naive." T CAN'T agree completely with either of them. Mr. Stevenson isn't "inviting national suicide" because, among other things, he won't put a stop to H-bomb experimen tation and testing if he becomes President. Nor is he "incredibly naive." He is just playing politics. And I'd say VERY SHREWD politics. DeVore Chosen as College Candidate Eugene Michael R. DeVore, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Ronald DeVore, 806 East Jackson St., Medford, has been chosen along with five other sophomore men to compete for the title of Joe College at the University of Oregon.

The winner of the Betty Co-ed and the Joe College contest will be decided by a vote of those attending the Sophomore Whisk erino, an annual dance sponsered by the sophomore class. It will be held Saturday, Oct. 20. DeVore, a predential major, is a member of Skull and Dag- Friday, October 19. 1 ijnl MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Woman Arraimld as. Head of UN Call Girls New York (U.R) A shapely red-haired former displaced per son faced a possible five years in prison and $10,000 fine today for allegedly running a "United Nations" call girl ring. Nela Bogacki, alias Nelda Bo gart, alias Nina Sandman, 32, was arraigned in Federal court Thursday and accused of violat ing the Mann act.

The girls, like Miss Bogacki, ger, sophomore men's honorary, and the Sabre Air Command squadron. were either displaced persons or visitors with transient permits forbidden to work in this country. WRONG BLOCK St. Louis (U.R) Two drag racers with roaring motors and squealing tires picked the wrong neighborhood to display their accomplishments. They were racing in the 5100 block of West minster Place. One of the resi dents in that block is I. A. Long, president of the board of police commissioners. Nearly four-fifths of the farm and ranch land in Texas is used for range and pasture. Truman Slates Swing To Western States Washington (U.R) The Dem ocratic National committee an nounced Thursday that former President Truman will make a three-day swing to the West coast next week. His schedule: Oct. 24, speech at Democratic rally at Salt Lake City's Murray armory; Oct. 25, speech at convention of Bakery and Confectionery International union of America in San Fran cisco; Oct 26, speech at Butte, Mont., rally. Mr. Truman was scheduled to arrive here today for a speech Friday night to a Democratic "17 days to victory" dinner. EVERYBODY in the world is horrified by the A and H bombs. Everybody would love to have them all sunk in the sea and forgotten. But alL realists know it can't be done. We have to take life as it comes. Gunpowder was indescribably horrible when it came into war fare. It put an end to the ar mored knight and the fortified castle. It sounded the knell for the archers who had been domi nant in warfare. It substituted tearing and shattering wounds for the clean wounds made by sword and spear and arrow. It shook the world. But it had to be accepted. ALL fuzzy -minded idealists have the idea that we can look the other way and ignore these AWFUL weapons. We can't. Any nation that had abjured gunpowder would have become a SUBJECT nation be cause there would have been some nation that wouldn't have abjured it and by its resulting superiority m gunpowder weap ons it would have been able to conquer the world. The same rule holds good for nuclear weapons. II You Are Invited to Our Open House Party Celebrating the Grand Opening of the Fabulous New ARTHUR MURRAY Medford Studio" 320 East Main, Medford TODAY.

FREE DANCE ANALYSIS. MR. STEVENSON knows all this, because he possesses a keen and well-trained mind. But He has convinced himself that large numbers of people will shut their eyes to realities and vote for him ON PURE EMO TION because of this glittering and chimerical hope he has raised that if elected President he will put a stop to H-bomb ex perimentation and testing. He figures, as so many poli ticians before him have, that what you say to get elected doesn't matter. That the end jus tifies the means-.-That after you are ELECTED you can do as you please. TF YOU will analyze his utter- ances carefully, you will note that all he says is that his first act after he is elected will be to WORK FOR the end of the H-bomb. Well, President Eisenhower has been working steadily to ward that end. The trouble is that the Russians won't play. And the Russian rulers plan def initely to conquer the world for communism. President Eisenhower knows we can't risk our whole future by letting the Russians gain su periority in the skills of nuclear warfare. And He is HONEST enough not to dangle before ur eyes in elec tion years any glittering prom ises that he will do away with the H-bomb. Cubans Youths Invade Island Havana U.R) The British Embassy labeled today as "irre sponsible" two bands of Cuban youths who carried out the bloodless "invasions" of Britain's tiny Key Sal Islet 25 miles off Cuba. The invaders met with no re- i sistance from the two Britons found on the 50-square mile islet as they lowered the Union Jack and ran up the flag of Cuba Thursday. The Cuban government admit ted it was informed of the inci- i dent but disclaimed any connec tion with it. A statement issued by Foreign Minister Andres Do mingo Morales Del Castillo said the youths "acted on their own initiative." Two yachts carried the "in- vaaers 10 me lsiet wnicn uie j iiriusn nave leasea xor yu years at $1,000 per year to Clarence B. Moody, a Miami, Fla., contrac tor.
