Missilei and 'sace raft" themseb? my some day be driven by nuclear engines if r O search now going on bears fruit. The prediction of space craft batteries was made in the Atomie energy Commission's 22nd scmi alnu) report. The report said "advances 3 were made in all major pro grams weapons, power, ship propulsion, atoms-for-peace, re learch, and production of nuclear fuels and explosives. It also: -Coniirmcd that the current Nevada tests are aimed at per fecting atomic weapons "with minimum fallout" presumably smaller . and thus radioactively 0"cleaner" atomic triggers for tha big H-bombs tested in the Pa cific. 10 Ytar Supply Reported that "a 10 -year uranium supply is in sight."

The United States still is the free world's biggest uranium producer and will b "for some time to come." Said new experiments indi cate that certain treatments can reduce radiation damage to germ cells and thus diminish the threat posed by radioactivity to futura generations.

The most recent, smaller in di ameter than a dime, will run a wrist watch more than five years. "Although not available for everyday use," the AEC said, 'larger future models of the bat tery are expected to power port able radios, hearing aids, and equipment in guided missiles and apace craft." The power from such batteries is tiny compared to the amount k would take to propel the mis siles and space craft aboard which they might be used. But the AEC said it is continuing work "relating to the application f nuclear power to rocket and ramjet engines." It gave no rogre&s report, however. Concerning weapons, the com mission emphasized atomic arms 'for defense against attack." It said it is stockpiling such weap ons and also is developing others "employing new design princi ples which can be used more effectively for defensive pur poses.'' In addition to testing weapons with a minimum of radioactive fallout in Nevada, the AEC also is studying the possibility of ex ploding atomic bombs in such a way that they could not be de tected by means of any telltale radiation. This could be done by detonat ing them so far underground that o radioactivity would reach the surface. One deep underground sJwt will be fired in Nevada.

The AEC said the experi ments show that: Atomic Committee Approves Program For Defense, Peace Washington IW The Joint Congressional Atomic Energy committee has approved a $259, 230,000 atomie program for de fense and peace. But it also gave the adminis tration a double rebuff in taking two steps opposed by President Eisenhower. They are: Authorized a $58 million program to speed production of atomic power. The program fea tures a $40 million gas-cooled re actor using natural uranium, a type highly touted by the Brit ish but not slated for construc tion by the Atomic Energy com mission at this time. To Require Authorization Retained in another bill a provision to require specific con gressional authorization for each package of nuclear material giv en to the international atoms for peace agency. Rep. Chet Holifield D-Calif.), who headed the subcommittee that drafted the main bill, said the extra money was added to rescue the AEC's "bankrupt" power program. AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss promptly issued a statement calling Holifield's remark "con trary to the facts."

The President Monday formal ly signed the necessary docu ments to bring the atoms for peace agency into being. The committee included its restric tion in a separate act outlining procedures under'the treaty. One source said the proposal, sponsored by Sen. John W. Bricker (R-Ohio), was approved by a vote of 10 to 5. State De partment spokesmen said the re striction was cumbersome but the administration could live with it. Joint Development In acting on the program au thorization bill Tuesday, the committee approved a $149,915, 000 program under which the government joins with private organizations to develop nuclear power reactors. Besides the gas-cooled reactor the additional $58 million voted by (he committee also would fi nance a $15 million experimen tal reactor designed to "recycle" the plutonium which is made in power reactors. It also would authorize a $3 million dollar de sign and development study for a large plutonium production re actor. $139 $198 PLASTIC DRAPES Just received a large ship ment of new designs.

A record was 15,000. To day, with major league football attendance often runs close to 60,000, and a "bad" day attend ance will still run around 35,000. Item 2: The San Francisco Seals baseball team plays to about 3,000 average for week day or night games, 10,000 to 15,000 on Sundays. If major league baseball brings as big a percentage increase as did major league football, Stoneham can expect about 12,000 in the park during each week-day game; about 50,000 on Sundays. A Big If Item 3: San Francisco holds the all-time minor league attend ance record for one season 670,563, set in 1946 when the team won the pennant. If major league baseball would quadruple that when and if the Giants win a title, the attendance should run around 2,800,000. Item 4: San Francisco holds the all-time minor league record for a single series attendance: 111,622 for a seven-game series with Oakland in 1946. The rival ry this time' would be with Los Angeles and should be accord Women's Golf First round matches In the Women's Club championship at the Rogue Valley Country club have been played with medalist Helen Davies winning over Mar go Collins, 4 and 3. Rose Bunch won her match with Grace Reymers, 3 and 1, while Maxine Hammond beat out Ruby Elbert, 3 and 2. Other winners in the championship bracket were Jean Finch over Ruby Schneider, 3 and 1; de fending champion Sue DeVoe over Blanche Frisbie; Corrine Miller over Isabel Sickels, 3 and 2; Bell Schenck over Florence Culbertson, 1 up on the 22nd hole, and Evelyn Tamney win ning out over Lois Walker, 3 and 2. In the second flight, Mrs. Clay ton Lewis won over Mrs. Dean Lambert, 2 and 1; Mrs. William Blackledge defeated Mrs. Frank Benesh, 1 up; Mrs. William Schei defeated Mrs. Sam Colton, 1 up; Mrs. Lee Flink defeated Mrs. Dick Knight; Mrs. William Clark defeated Mrs. W. L. Stark; Mrs. William Ruffner defeated Mrs. Ted Groomes, and Mrs. Jack Eidswick defeated Mrs. John Day. The last three winners came in with 1-up victories. Mrs. Ed Milne won over Mrs. C. E. Gordon by default. In the fourth flight, Mrs. Tom Harnsberger won over Mrs. Ray Sorenson, 1 up; Mrs. Wayne Safley defeated Mrs. B. D. Mitch ell, 1 up; Mrs. Floyd Somers won over Mrs. L. C. McLaughlin, 6 and 5, and Mrs. W. F. Cowning defeated Mrs. Reese Alexander, 1 up, on the 19th ole. In the nine "hole championship group, Mrs. L. W. Buonocore de feated Mrs. Doris Scroggins; Mrs. Harriet Pyle defeated Mrs. I. Sanner by default; Mrs. Nicol- j letti defeated Mrs. T. W. McFad-! den; Mrs. Robert DeLorme drew I a bye as did Mrs. William Knope j and Mrs. John Raapke; Mrs. Ralph Barclay defeated Mrs. D. H. Adams, and Mrs. Paul Havi-! land defeated Mrs. H. G. Daw son. Championship flight first; round losers will make up the first flight and both of these flights will play without handi- j caps. All other flights play with i handicaps. The next round of matches will be played off by Aug. 7. I HUSBAND DUCKS: PERIOD Stanton, Mich. HP) Mrs. j Nancy Lucas of Stanton was on j 90 days probation today because j her aim was poor.

Wait For the Greatest Food Savings Ever! Wednesday. July 31. 1S57 Prospects to 'Frisco ingly stronger. Item 5: Things can get tough in the West, too. The all-time record for low attendance at a Pacific Coast league game was set in Portland, Ore., vs. Oak land in 1905. Paid attendance: one (1). Item 6: Although the Seals ap pear headed for the PCL pen nant this year, San Francisco fans have supported some miser able efforts in the past. In fact, S. F. has won only two pennants in the last quarter of a century. So they won't expect miracles from Stoneham & Co. Good For Majors Item 7: The Pacific Coast league attendance record for the eight teams was set in 1947, with 4,068,432. That's a minor league record and compares favorably with the major leagues. In the days when all baseball was played in daylight, the league record was 2,235,510 set in 1924. Item 8: If you can't make it off the gate receipts, you might make a fortune off the conces sions. While the national aver age for seat cushion sales is one for every five persons who enter a park, the average in San Fran cisco is one for every two fans. Helps keep them warm in the cool (cold) local night air, they claim. And instead of pop and ice cream, local fans eat bundles of hot dogs, beer and coffee also to keep warm. $21.95 All Metal FOLDING TABLES EZ Carry Picnics Patio SUN-BRELLA $3.99 REG. $7.91 Imported Bimbo, handle fay colored sunbrellu for VOLLRATII stainless steel mixing howls ' 3 Quart Half Price!

Creighton Miller, lawyer for tha National Football League Players Asso., was slated to lead off testimony as the subcommit tee's hearings on professional team sports entered the next-to-last week. Miller was to be followed by George Ratterman, forme" plv. er for the New York Giants, Montreal Alouettes and Cleve land Browns; Norm Van Brock lin, players representative for the Los Angeles Rams; and Kyle Rote, player representative for the New York Giants. The subcommittee, which al ready has finished hearings on organized baseball, hopes to wind up football Thursday when NFL commissioner Bert Bell and Chicago Bears owner George S. Halas will appear. Subcommittee chairman Eman uel Celler (D-NY) said the group will turn to professional basket ball and hockey next week and he expects that will complete its investigation.
