By LYLE DOWNING A proverbial Pandora's box tilled with startling scientific facts was thrown open at a Klamath Falls Knife and Fork Club dinner Thurs- day evening in the Willard Hotel by Dr. Gerald Wendt, who, among other things, is recognized as one of the nation's top authorities on atomic energy. Dr. Wendt, who acted as inter preter of scientific information for 900 newspaper and radio corres pondents at the Geneva Atoms for Peace Conference, said that within the next 25 years there is a pos- sibility that hydro-electric power plants may be supplanted in thei racmc Northwest by atomic pow er. "I wouldn't advise building any water power plants that can't be paid lor in 25 years, the scien- tist added. "I believe by that time in this area we can produce atom ic power cheaper than water pow MAKE WAY FOR YANKS 1 NEW YORK (UP)-A group of businesswomen yelled foul ball when a hotel here switched their meeting to a smaller room to make way for a New York victory celebration. Dr. Wendt also pointed out that England and Russia are ahead of the United States in the produc tion of atomic power for commer cial uses. "Iff many foreign countries." he continued, "heat is the big prob lem. 1 paid S62 a ton for coal in France. The 'coal mines of Great Britain are almost worked out. In France, perfume is actually cheaper than hot water. Industry in both France and England is suffering from the high cost of coal. Both those countries are working frantically to produce atomic power for heating purposes as well as to fuel their industries. Dr. Wendt said he had no fear of an atomic war. "Only a madman would start such a conflict," he declared. "If an atomic war started and both sides exploded all the bombs now stockpiled, it would mean the end of mankind. Nothing Vould live on this earth for hundreds of years. Both sides know this."

Nina had been missing since Aug. 30 wnen she originally was due to appear in court. Warrant was issued for her arrest when she failed to appear. She is believed to have taken refuge in the So viet embassy, which has diplo matic immunity. The hefty 27-year-old Russian athlete entered her plea after the store detective who arrested her had testified. Nina's counsel sought to show that Nina bought the five hats worth less than $5 and had them placed in a shopping bag from another store from which she had purchased two berets. The store detective, Miss Margaret Bolsen, insisted Nina had not paid for the hats. ' Nina was arrested Aug. 29 on the shoplifting charge. The Rus sians immediately charged the British with a "dirty provoca tion" and withdrew their team from a British-Soviet track meet Nina had come to compete in.
