MONDAY, AUGUST 8. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Atomic Energy Confab Opens; Hope Seen For Power In Twenty Years By FRANK CAREY GENEVA i Indian scientist Homl J. Bhabha opened the first International Atomic Energy Con ference today with the prediction that the way will be found to har ness the titanic energy of the hydrogen bomb or peaceful use Within 20 yeais. Bhabha, president of the 12- Chicago Site Of Spud Meet The National Potato Council has announced a meeting of potato growers August 11 and 12 at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. A session on August 10 at the same place will consider a pro motion plan for potatoes. Material financial support for the promotion has been tentatively promised by Rome of the eastern railroads and from other industry sources. n Kern County Hit By Two Quakes BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (UP) Two liRht earthquakes jolted many Kern County residents last night but authorities said no damage or injuries had been reported. Police spokesmen said they be lieved the tremblors were after shocks of a major quake that crumbled the Bakersfield business district and killed two persons three years ago. The shocks were felt shortly after 8:10 p.r- PDT. nation scientific parley, said: i to his death, but consecrated to his When that happens, the energy hi. have been solved forever, for iuel "" will be as plentiful as heavy hydrogen in the oceans." Bhabha spoke as hundreds of delegates gathered at the opening plenary session of the conference just 10 years and one day after the first atom bomb leveled Hiroshima. The conference in the Palace of Nations, designed to parade atom ic energy in Its role as an ally of industry and a potential boon to agriculture and medicine, will continue until Aug. 20. The scien tists will hear hundreds of papers on technical phases of peaceful! use of atomic energy. Hundreds of other papers submitted for the con ference will be published for study later. The opening session also re ceived a message from President Eisenhower, whose historic ad dress before the U.N. General Assembly in December 1953 in spired the aloins-for-peace pro gram now being worked out by (he international organization and the present conference. The President's message, brought by Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, reaffirmed America's pledge to "help find ways by which the miraculous inventive ness of man shall not be dedicated U.N., which is sponsoring the par ley, Elsenhower declared: "The atom stands ready to become man's obedient, tireless servant, if man will only allow It." The scientists also heard a mes sage from U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, who said that "we have a long road ahead of us to traverse before nations can hope to eliminate the threat of atomic destruction." Touching on possible- peaceful uses of atomic energy,- Bhabha, who heads India's atomic program, m the field, said it already has been shown that peacetime heat ing and electrical power can be lapped from the "fission" process atomio bombs. This is the process used in atomic power plants the United Stales and Britain are now build ing and in tre 3,000-lulowalt station the Soviet Union says it has been operating for more than a year. "It is well known," Bhabha con tinued, "that atomic energy can also be obtained by the fusion process, as in the H-bomb, and there is no basic scientific knowl edge in our possession today to show it is impossible for us to obtain this energy from the fusion process in a controlled maimer. "The technical problems are for midable." he said, "but one should remember ft is not yet 15 years mce atomic energy was released of uranium such as is used ml in an atomic pile (furnace) for the first time. ... ' I venture to predict the method will be found for liberating fusion and energy in a controlled man ner within the next two decades." In an Interview prior to Brab ha'a talk, Strauss had "no com ment" when reporters asked whether the United States was working on the possibility of re leasing atomic energy in a con trolled manner from the thermo nuclear (H-bomb) process. Several years ago Sen. Hlcken looper (R-lowa) of the Senate House Atomic Committee said, "The hydrogen picture contains some hope in time for peaceful and constructive applications. "This ... is something that the Joint committee must look into, Hickenlooper declared, but neither he nor the committee has made any statement on the matter, since that time, , Concurrent with the conference, the major atomic nations put on display five large technical exhibits to show the beneficial side of atom ic energy and an "atom trade lair" of products available from commercial companies of various countries. Major Interest cerdered on the U.S. exhibit featuring an actual operating atomic reactor and on the Russian display, which in cluded a motion picture of the re actor in the first Soviet atomic power station. Soviet physicist Boris Baturov told reporters yesterday that this JMGJMTHREE first power station could produce power at costs competitive with those of certain "small" power plants utilising conventional fuels. The S.OOO-kilowatt output Is suffi cient for a town ot t.t least 10,000 people, . . A U.S. expert from the AEO conceded the Russians "scooped us" in being the first to claim such competitive power production but added the United States eould have done the same had it had the Incentive ot an unfavorable fuel situation. The United States is building a 60,000-kllowatt plant near Snipping port, Pa., which American atomio officials say is designed to "point the way" to production of compe titive power. mm CARLOAD SAW!
