Douglas explained.

ESTATE OF FDR

WASHINGTON, Sept. %.-R-
Control of the late President Roose
velt's Hyde Park este is expected
ia mass to the government as soor
as family waivers to occupancy
Of the big house on the Hudson are
completed.
This was learned from family
friends and government officials
today. They said legal transfer OF
the estate is expected to be made
soon to the National Park Service
of the Interior Department. The
property was decided to the gov
eminent subject to certain family
occupancy rights.
Along with the rambling stone
stucco house and forested acres,
the Interior Department will
receive the responsibility for
protecting the late President S
grave, which is in the rose garden
between the home and the Roose-
welt Memorial Library. This is
now an army job. The library and
70 acres around it are already gov
eminent property with the Ma
tional Archives having jurisdiction.
Park service officials said that
after family occupancy waivers
are completed an appropriation
will have to be approved by Con-
gress before the government can
begin to operate the property as
a memorial.
The Roosevelt grave is still be-
ing guarded by part of the 240th
Military Police Battalion which was

protecting the President while at
Hyde Park.
The War Department said today
that after the death of Mr.. Roose-
welt last April u the Secret Serv-
ice suggested that a full battalion
was no longer needed, but asked
that small detachment be left
at Hyde Park until the Interior
Department could take over. This
was described in one quarter today
as a courtesy arrangement"
The Army completed with the
suggestion. On May 16 the bat
talon, with the exception of two
officers and 80 men, was trans
ferred from the old Rogers estate

The interesting possibility thai
atomic energy may some day be
utilized for industrial purposes has
attracted attention of Businessmen
Warren Bell, president Of the Tide
Water Power Company, revealed
at the Rotary Club meeting, Tues
day noon at the Friendly cafe
terra.
Mr.. Bell, introduced by Program
Chairman Howard A. Penton,
chose ELECTRICITY" as his topic,
beginning with an outline of his
torical developments in use OF
electrical power since its discovery
Nv Thomas A. Edison, and his in
vention of the incandescent lamp.
On a recent visit to New York.
MIR. Bell interviewed officials and
scientists there to inquire about
the probability of this future use
for atomic energy, he said, and
suggested to them that the mighty
power may some day be used for
generating electricity. These men
thought the subject a matter OF
mere conjecture at the present
time, but that such a use might
develope within 10 to Is years,
if the secret of atomic power is
released by the government.
Numerous changes in trans
mission of electrical power have
been effected since Edison's day.
Mr.. Bell pointed out, and the ex-
tension of electrical service all
ove-- the country has even influenc-
ed population trends. Since popu-
lation shifts have a direct effect
on the volume OF business in any
commercial area, these develop
ments are of keen importance to
merchants, manufacturers and all
other business concerns, he pointed
out.
Development of agricultural in-
terests here is the best prospect
for re-couping any possible losses
in population, Mr.. Bell suggested,
and he pointed out that Industrial
