No Competition Yet "In Its present stale of develop ment, atomic energy does not cnmicto with common fuels, but this need not ba the case In the future," oald Dr. Katzln. Ono pound of uranium com pletely consumed by fission, he pointed out, will release as much energy aa the combustion of 1S00 tons of coal, 290,000 gallons of fuel oil or gasoline, 80,000,000 coble feet of artificial gas or 40.000,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Whether atomic power can compete financially with ordi nary fuels depends on the cost of production. In order to com pete with bituminous coal at IB a ton the 1042 wholesale aver age. In the United State a pound of U-2.15 should cost not more thun I7B00 to produce, Dr. KuUIn said. Price Comparisons "Competition with 15 cent gas oline Is effective al .i,uuu a pound. To compete with arti ficial gas costing 80 cents per 1000 cubic feet it may still cost $:iO,000 a pound, while natural gaa at the same cost would de mand a comiK-tltlve price of about $20,000 a pound for U-2:i5." Dr. Kutxln then said that avail able data indicate a pound of U-2:i5 probably would cost about mnann i . j ui..iii..i Hens Norland Fire Insurance. aiOIUIC rneruy cuuiu ur uaaru im propel planes, and locomotives and automobiles or heat In-1 dividual homes.

Devers Tells Congress 'Coward' Charge False WASHINGTON, May 17 II Gen. Jacob L, Devers told the house military committee today that he had not called congress men "cowards" In discussing con gressional attitude toward exten sion of the draft law. The four-atar commander of the army ground forces was sum moned before the committee by Chairman May (D-Ky.) to explain the remarks attributed to him at a news conference In Atlanta last week. "Certainly I would not call a great group of congressmen, who not only are my friends but friends of the army, cowards," Devers told the committee. When Rep. Shafcr (R-Mich.) asked "just what did you say?" Acting Chairman Thomason (D Tex.) banged the gavel, ending the session In five minutes. Be fore Devers gave his explana tion, Thomason read a telegram from Josh P. Skinner, manuglng editor of the Atlanta Constitu tion, which said: Reporter Went Editorial "Have Just noted wire service reports you asking investigation of General Devers' alleged ref erence to congress as "group of cowardly men." General Devera did not use the word cowardly in referring to congress. The story originated in the Atlanta Constitution and was picked up and carried nationally by the United Press. The reporter who wrote the story for the Const!

The children, from 2 to 5 year i old, released the brake of the I parked car and It rolled toward ' the cliff. Three children Jumped out immediately but the smallest escaped Just before the plunge. I lis mam srmirr Ing opening paragraph to his story: 'Gen. Jacob L. Devers, army ground forces commander, lambasted congress here yester day a a group of cowardly men, afraid of touching the controver sial draft bill.' The story as written did not have quotation murks in It but the copy reader inserted them from the word group to the end of the sentence, thus indicating a direct quota tion. The reporter who wrote the story resorted to editorial presumption in using the word in an effort to give his Impres sion of the general's remarks. The general himself did not use the word and the word appeared only as stated because of the reporter's resort to editorial pre sumption and interpretation.
