KEEP MIM GOING ANOTHER HOUR AT LEAST VUAHtAUOATIPOfi MIKE MITCHELL, 5 AEC Trying to Deglamorize Atom as Wonder-Worker By JOSEPH L. MYLER Washington - lUTD-The Atomic Energy commission is trying to deglamorize the atom, or at least to put It in perspective. This process actually began back in the postwar 40s when responsible officials tried to ring the curtain down on what they called "the atomic silly season. Churches in Young Nations Don't Want Colonial Control Louisville. Ky. - flJPD - The general secretary of the Na tional Council of Churches has warned that churches in the younger nations of the world do not want colonial control in religion any more than they want it in politics. Dr. Roy G. Ross of New York, speaking at the Inter national convention of Chris- Youth Conference Urges Study ol Red Ideologies ' Salem - IUPD - The 1960 Ore gon conference on children and youth recommended Sat urday afternoon that Oregon public schools put greater em- ' phasis on teaching American and Communist Ideologies so young Americans will know '. what they aro fighting for and against. V The recommendation urged "Li the Interest of national survival" to give increased emphasis to understanding the ideology and democratic proc ess of the U.S., and to the study of world political, so cial and economic systems with particular emphasis to the non-western world, such as Asia and Africa. Should Be Exposed "Ideologies which are in conflict with our own, such as Communism, should be ex posed to the light of reason and study in the school and the community," the resolu tion said. Establishment of legislative Interim committees by the 1961 legislature was urged to study all state laws relating in ti'.o hnallh. welfare, educa tion and recreation of chil dren. The conference called for establishment of family courts and an interim study of youth employment problems. Oregon has two family courts now, In Multnomah and Marlon counties. They are specialized courts, dealing only with problems such as child adoption, divorce and other family crises. 7 Die as Station Hits Bus Hull. Quebec - IUPD - A sta tlon wagon carrying seven young men collided head-on with a - loaded bus Sunday Nino tiersons were killed and 13 others were hospital ized. A veteran Quebec provin cial police officer said the ac cident was "the worst I've s?n in 25 years on this beat." Police said ihe late model station wagon was on the wrong side of Highway 8, about 10 miles cast of here, when It hit the bus, which was headed for nearby Buck ingham. Reports from the scene said the wagon was "driven half way up the bus" by the Im pact. The dead Included all seven occupants of the station wag on, the bus driver and an un identified woman passenger In the bus. Only two of the 17 bus passengers escaped in jury. . ..; ... ,; I tian Churches (Disciples of Christ), said: "The day is gone when we can divide up the dark con tinent on a community ar rangement and stake off our little claims for missionary work. We must think as a part of the world church, of the Health and welfare of the to tal Christian community throughout the world." The convention here was attended by about 10,000 min isterial and lay representa tives from 8,000 churches in the United States, Canada and 12 other countries. The churches, whose mem bers are usually known as Disciples of Christ, have as one of their primary mission fields the Congo Republic. Ross emphasized the need "to move from paternalism to partnership in the affairs of our churches abroad ... if we have not done our train ing well in the era of adoles cence, there is no reason to hope we can control adult hood by arbitrary methods." The church executive said, "Undoubtedly the church has had a large hand in opening up tile more primitive areas of the earth to the influence of so-called civilized society. The backward peoples of the earth have been catapulted almost overnight into the op erations of society. Characterittici Luted He said the characteristics of the new nations must be considered in the missionary field. These he listed as "A new sense of self-esteem and of distiny; a desire for material and cultural advantages of life; self-government free of colonial control; a desire for recognition in the councils of the world; and an apprecin- tlon of their own cultural backgrounds and pride in the native languages, traditions, social forms and religious her ilnges." Wagon Helicopter Crash Leaves Three Dead Lcwislon, Idnho-IUPll-Threo persons were injured fatally Monday in th crash of a helicopter in Steptoe Canyon on the Snake river 15 miles downstream from here ir. Whitman County, Wash. The dead were not Imme diately Identified. Nez Perce County Sheriff Bud Huddleston said he be lieved the helicopter was from Seattle but that it was not Immediately known who own ed it. He said it appeared to be a civilian craft, They said, for example, that it was foolish to believe every household would have its own nuclear power plant or that automobiles some day would be able to run forever on a thimbleful of splitting atoms. Competitive Electric Power They also said at the same time, however, that the atom could be expected to gener ate competitive electric pow er in a decade or so, and in this, as It turned out, the ex perts, too, were wrong. It now appears, according to a recent report lo Congress, that, economic atomic power won't be achieved before the 1970s. But the public image of the non-military atom as a magic al, wonder-working mighty mite, blessed with all the powers of a fairy's wand and just as easy to manipulate, apparently persists. Dr. Robert E. Wilson, scien tist-industrialist member of the AEC, attempted in a re cent talk lo a gathering of high school science students to put the atom in a more realistic perspective. He said the atom does have great promise "as a future source of power, particularly in large central stations. Notion Scotched But he scotched the notion that "nuclear power is better than any alternative kind of power" for such things ns ships and airplanes. It has been a great success in sub marines. But when it comes to com mercial ships, he said, the ad vantages of nuclear propul sion "are more than outweigh ed by the disadvantages. Wilson said much fine work has been done and many hundreds of millions of dollars spent" to develop atom-powered aircraft. But the upshot, he said, is "Hint it appears quite difficult to pro duce a nuclear-driven plane which would today have wide military usefulness." And as for commercial planes, "I think nuclear en ergy is never likely to com pete." Wilson went on to say that the idea of nuclear bus es, trucks, or automobiles "ii completely out of the ques tion." Locomotive Disaster Feared Atomic locomotives "might be technically feasible." But, he continued, no city or state would "permit such a device to operate in view of the dis aster which might conceivably result if a serious wreck oc curred In a crowded city." Wilson said nuclear energy it not likely to become im portant in the fields of trans portation or home heating or most other areas where petro leum and coal have long served. He cautioned the students not lo think of atomic energy as the only exciting field open to scientists and engineers. "Atomic energy will grow," he said, "but if all of you . , . rush into a single field of ac tivity, many of you probably will end up In some of the many other fields which still offer outstanding opportuni ties." 1 1 .v.

SP 2-21 11 Britain Gives U.S. Permission To Study Bahamas Area Water lhat I marine base On British t( London- IUPD - The United States has requested and re ceived British permission to survey the waters in the Ba hamas area for a possible U.S. naval underseas weap ons testing center there, it was disclosed officially today. A Foreign Office spokes man said an approach was re ceived by the British govern ment from the United States some time ago requesting per mission to survey "certain wa ters in the Bahamas area." "Permission was given for this survey without any ad vance committment by her majesty's government," the spokesman said. Authoritative sources stated that the projected U. S. survey aims at the possible establish ment of a naval undersea test ing and evaluation center for American weapons. No further details were dis closed officially, but it was understood U.S. authorities have not yet carried out the survey in the waters of the British-owned Bahamas. British sources insisted that the new U.S. move does not foreshadow a base such as that at Holy Loch in Scotland for Polaris-carrying nuclear submarines agreed upon by the United States and Britain last week. , The official disclosure was prompted by press reports from Washington here today that the United States intends to use two stretches of Ba hamas waters south and south cast of Nassau. These reports said the Unit ed States wants these two stretches as proving grounds for weapons. Land Sites Considered It is understood the plan if adopted by Washington and approved by Britain - also would provide for land sites In the Bahamas which would be run by the U. S. Navy and American firms engaged in development of the weapons. It was believed the weapons in question are underwater rockets.
