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.

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.

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.
