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

"We are forced to the con-;

Katzin said. !

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!

Quick Leap Saves
Kids In Car Plunge
OREGON CITY, May 17 MV
Four small children leaped from
an old car In which they were !
playing Just before it plunged '
over a 30-foot cliff.
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.

LET'S GET THE KLAMATH
Potato Starch Factory
In Operation This Fall!
$100,000 must ba raised by June lit. $25,000 wai voluntarily subscribed be
fore plant were completed with Northwest Chemurgy Co-operative, but that
till leaves $75,000 to raise in the next few day.
I
The money goet In escrow at the Klamath Fall branch of the First National
Bank, and when $100,000 i reached It I turned ever to a local trustee who
will disburse these funds as Northwest Chemurgy builds the Klamath starch
factory. ,
Remember, the plant can buy only 15 of the potatoes it processes from
non members, and in a low price year when it becomes economical to con
vert more of the crop into starch and glucose, buying by the plant would
undoubtedly be pro-rated tp grower on the basis of the amount of stock
owned. Every grower should buy hit full share of stock nowl When stock is
completely tubtcribed it become a closed corporation.
To raise the $100,000 by June lit, every bank in the Basin it prepared to sell
Northwest Chemurgy Co-operative stock to any land owner or lesiee. A stated
above, this money goes Into escrow until the full amount Is raised, and then
is handled by a trustee to assure that all local money goes Into the loco,'
plant.
