THURSDAY. AUGUST 11. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE Governors 0 Look For Road Plan CHICAGO V-The nation's gov ernors searched today for a com promise highway construction pro gram that might be palatable to a Congress which rejected Presi dent Eisenhower's proposals and Democratio substitutes. Although the governors listened to praise last night from Britain's Ambassador Sir Roger Maktns for Eisenhower's role at the Geneva Big Pour conference and turned to a discussion of mental health problems today, their minds ob viously were on the roads issue. Makins told the governors at the stale dinner of this Vith annual conference of the chief executives that at Geneva Eisenhower had succeeded "in laying, let us horie for once and all, the ghost of the Idea that the Americans are a pack of war mongers." Gov. G. Mennen Williams. Mich' !gan Democrat, told his colleagues In a prepared address that "the problem of mental health is still one of the biggest faced by the people and the states. "One out of 13 babies born today will spend some time in a mental institution." he said. "Over one half of our hospital beds are re- nuired for mental cases. The total annual public cost of mental health in the United States amounts to over $1,100,000,000." President Eisenhower told the governors in a message yesterday he Is ready to cooperate with them in attempting to solve the highway and school construction programs. Alter a discussion, the governors named a resolutions committee to take up the road issue. The makeup of this committee seemed pointed toward some sort of compromise on highway financ ing. Most of the members called for ouick action to get road build ing started but they differed in methods. As chairman of the committee, Gov. Robert B. Meyner, New Jer sey Democrat, called on the gov ernors to "compromise with Con gress and the appropriate pressure groups" In working out their rec ommendations. Gov. William G. Stratton, Tlli nois Republican, proposed a five- year road building plan Instead of the 10-year program urged by President Eisenhower. Gov. Fred Hall, Kansas Republican, plugged for a cooperative fedeial-state program. Indiana's Republican Gov George M. Craig urged continuous consultation between the governors and Congress In working out i highway bill. Gov. Waller J. Koh ler, Wisconsin Republican, said he is supporting Eisenhower's propos al for a long term, bond financed program. Gov. Edwin C. Johnson, ColO' rado Democrat, said he wants a , pay-as-you go svstem, without any increase in federal gasoline and other tti::er. iiiiitTiiirfc Klamath Falls 2 MATINEES 2 NIGHTS TOMORROW 4 SATURDAY 2:15 P.M. 8:15 P.M.

Employment In Siskiyou Up - DUKSMU1R There Is practi cally full employment in southern Siskiyou County according to The!- ma Bender, manager of the Duns muir state department of employ-1 ment office. In fact, there Is a shortage of skilled men for logging ana saw mill operations, Mrs. Bender said, and carpenters are particularly in demand. Last week there were only 45 unemployment claims han dled by the Dunsmuir office and three-fourths of these were for women. Right now the Dunsmuir office is noting a considerable influx of newcomers to the community, Mrs. Bender noted. People are coming from Southern California and other states, principally attracted the ellmcie and recreational possibili ties of the mountainous area. The employment outlook for this area will continue to be good. Mis. Bender estimated, until bad weath er begins In the fall. She said there is a demand lor equipment operators and other road construc tion men but these must bs hired through their unions. The railroad i is alro seeking maintcnanco n.on 1 and laborers. .

LEMMAX Written For United Press GENEVA (UP) What is a "run away" tnd what makes it run? The answer is terrifying!? sim ple. A runaway is sn atomic fur nace of peacetime i:mg to act like Its parent of wartime, the A-bomb. The perils cf the runaway are. In some ways, at least, the perils of the bomb. Teams of scientists from the United States. Entai:-. and Russia reported on the possibility o( run aways at the atoms-for-peace con ference yesterday. Here are the conclusions of the theoretical and cxDcrimental data they presented: To understand how a pile can blow up you musi remember that a reactor is just an atomic bomb in slow motion. , Hours 9 133 Poses Problems For Engineers Of Future This is not a natural state be cause the fission reaction that keeps a furnace goln? Is nervous by nature. T.ie activity of a pile must always be rising or falllnj. . If It falls too low the pile shuts down. II it risis too hieli the pile blows up. THE POSSIBILITY Hie explosive reaction Is re strained in the normal wjy by con trol rods and other .aie'.y devices b tt these, like any other machine, can go vror.3 and it is therefore possible for a pile to go out of con trol. Dr. Edward Teller, who contrib uted much to America s H-bomb development, put the need for guarding aqainst this "going wrong" ir these words: "With all the inherent safeguards that cpn be put into n reactor, there Is still no fool-proof system. Any system can be defeated by a great enough fool. The real danger occurs when a false sense of secur ity causes a relaxation of caution." It can be predicted theoretically up to a point but practical experi ence is the best guide and the only way to gain this experience is to iet a reactor expiod.-. to 3:30 Fridoy 9 to 9 So. Cth Phont 5188 This test was made by the Ar gonne National LaUoratmy. A small experimental reactor built in a remote location was deliberately sacrificed by inject ing a control rod, the Job of winch is to "cool" olf the reactor by absorbing the excess radioactivity. THE EXPERIMENT In less than one-lifth of a second the uranium fuel melted, the sur rounding water vaporied and the whole structure blew up. scatter ing fragments and radioactive deb ris over a 350-foot circle. From this experiment and other calculations another American group including Teller submitted a study suggesting what might hap pen if a big reator blew Its top. First there would be a loud ex plosion, destroying the reactor and killing or maiming the staff of the plant. Then a cloud of radioactive dirt would rise into the air and. according to the state of the wind, would drift over the surrounding landscspe. Communities In Its track might have to be evacuated and water supplies might become unusable for days or weeks, until the radio activity radiated Itself away to a safe level. 0 Famous Coldspot Refrigerators 11.9 Cubic Foot WAS 269.95!
