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

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

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."

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.
Some time is expected to
elapse before a final decision
is taken and approved.
