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.

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.

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

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.-.

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.
