MYLER Washington -flJPli- Dr. Ed ward Teller wants to ship a nowerful atomic reactor to the moon to convert lunar ma terials into water and otner necessaries of life on earth's avid and airless satellite. Teller, who was instrumen tal in developing the H-bomb, told the House space commit tee recently that with atomic power moon matter might al so he changed Into fuel for spacecraft operating from lun ar bases. He said nuclear explosives might well be u.'cd "to adjust the moon's surface" to make the going easier for lunar ve hirles. Teller said he thought his proposal to rocket a reactor to the moon "should he pursued without delay." He said the reactor he has in mind would be "very powerful," weigh only "a few tons," and be "relatively cheap." U would not be necessary, he said, to send along a lot of heavy radiation shielding. Us Dirt "You can ure dirt for shield ing, and dirt, even on the moon, is dirt cheap," Teller said. "From the point of view of any danger of contamination, the reactor can be made safe. In case of an unlikely acci dent only astronauts would be exposed, and astronauts are prepared to face greater dan gers." Teller said the reactor could be usc "n drive what ever machinery we have up there." But it would have a more Important purpose, as suming that moon rocks con tain some waler. "Willi the help of the reac lor," he said, "one can boil out Ihis waler. With the reac tor we can produce enough en ergy to conduct chemical re actions a n d to get at least those elements and their chemical combinations which are needed to maintain life." With waler available, it would he possible lo build covered pools "in which we may grow algae," simple green plants which not only manufacture oxygen but also could serve as a protein-rich food. Rocket Fuel Waler also could he hroken up into Us consVUuenV hydro gen and oxyEdl for use as a powerful 'rocket fuel, Teller Mid. "Because of Ihe small grav ity on Ihe moon, takeoff and landing is relatively easy," he said, adding that "the moon would become a most wonder ful refueling station for ex ploring the planetary sys tem. Teller said, "whoever take! space seriously must take the I moon seriously, and to make the moon a practical base "we need this reactor." Me mid the reaclnr will take four or five years nf planning and thai his plan ning should get under way. "quite seriously," now.

' Jfttal!hei5,i A By JESSE BOGUE UPI Financial Editor New York -iUPIi S o m e of the figures In the New York stock exchange shareholders' census, released the past week, help to explain why the proposal in Congress to tax dividends and interest through withholding at their sources aroused so much at tention. It would affect ro many people of voting age. All persons owning stock which pays dividends are re Quired by present law to pay tax on those dividends, if they have income subject to taxation under present feder al tax laws. Proponents of the withhold, ing measure argue, however, that many persons often do not pay the taxes which they should pay on that portion of their income derived from dividends and estimate the withholding measure would close a $600 million loophole in tax collections.1 Protect Pertona They say provisions could be made to protect those per sons who may receive divi dends but whose total annual income is not subject to tax ation. The NYSE study, fourth of Its kind, breaks down the es timated total number of share owners - which it puts at a new high of 17,010,000 In 1862 - by age, bv sex. and hv region. Out of the total. It reported 304,000 not classified by age and 450,000, or 2.7 per cent of the remaining total, were under 21 years of age. Deducting the total of these . two, and making no allowance ior persons who fail to exer cife their prerogatives as citl. zens, this leaves 16 25finnn persons of voting age who are stockholders. That Is nearly 24 Der cent of the entire number of per sons, 68,838.005. who voted the presidential election year of 1060. Onii in Four So about one voter In every four would be affected by the proposal to withhold the tax at ils source. Also, according to the sur vey, a high percentage of the adult owners of stock, those I over 21. are drawn from the educational bracket! which presumably furnish a good proportion of voters. The census yhowed 3,007, 000, or 18.5 per cent of the to tal, had three years of high school or less. But 28.7 per cent of the gross figure, 4,. 828.000 persons, had four years of high school; 20.2' per cent, or 3,284,000 had one to three years of college, and 31.6 per cent, or 5,137,000, had four years of college or more. The census used the same 304,000 figure for those not classified by education that it, used for those not classified by age. On a basis of household In come, the largest percentage of shareholders is in the $7, 500 $ 10,000 class, the census said. Household income was defined as that based on 1081 Income before taxes and in cluding the total combined In come of all members of the household. Next largest, 21.5 per cent, . was In the $5,000-$7,500 class; followed by 19 5 per cent, $10,000 $15.000; 12.4 per cent, $3.00P-$5,000; 12.1 per cent, $15.000-$25,000; 6 per cent, under $3,000; 4.8 per cent, $25,000 and over.

Redrnond Coldest Place in Nation ncdmonrl -'UPD Tempen lurrs ot 29 degrees Sunday night and 30 Monday night in Redmond were the lowest In the nation, but Redmond farmers aren't worried-yet. County agent Jim McAlister said the low temperatures might reduce the size of the harvest and set back the har vest dates for Deschutes coun ty's 1,400 acre potato crop. Backyard gardeners were hit by the freeze, however, with most losing vegetable sprouts. McAlister said that a freeze "would really have hurt us two weeks from now." The freezing temperatures were the coldest in July in the county since 195S, accord ing to records. Broken Suet Diicontlnued Styles, Now Priced to Clear! OFF Amateur Musicians Increasing In U. S.
