Pressure Is building up on Con
gress and the AEC to break the
Ice to work out some kind of In
dustry - government partnership
which will enlist the driving force
of private competition in atomic
development. The idea of a per
petual government monopoly Is not
accepted by AEC, Congress or Industry.
The AcC is writing a report on
Its vlewa for the proposed con
gressional hearing.-. It also cre
ated this fall an office of industrial
development, with orders to plan
for a day when "Industry will car
ry on its own a substantial Dart
of the national atomic program."
The Immediate objectives are
limited. Real-life prospects do not

dreams of autos which operate for
their lifetime on one atomic pill,

Even If the government gave

could expect a saving of not more

Act., Industry would like the gov

The AEC on Its gide must decide
among a host of vital question,
whether It now can relax Ita em

atom. Most of the atomic weapons
program which as an Industry
compared In stale with General
Motors or United 8tates Steel is
managed by private contractors on
a cost-plus basis.
Industry s interest in an atomic
elertrle power plant has grown and
numerous proposals have been
advanced. Most of them rely on
the fact that a reactor can be
built to produce both energy anil
a new supply of fissionable ma

By paying enough for the littler,
the government could, in eflrot,

Oilier proposals Include:
I. An Industry proposal that AUG

quest long answered. Industry might
Invest In a lull-scale plant.
J. Another Industry plan, from
DOW Chemical Company and De

whereon "the two companies would
like lo build and operaie a ctim-nierolal-alsed
reactor plant using
private capital and without re
course to govei liluenlal funds. "
3. A proposal having consider
