Suggestions On Atomic Energy
Control Stream Into Capital
BY FRANCIS ]. KELLY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-(R-|
From scientists, schoolgirls and
other Americans, suggestions on
atomic energy control are stream
ing by every mail delivery into 4
little room in the basement OF. the
capitol.
Some are typed on cooperation
letterheads Some are scrawled in
pencil on ruled pulp-paper.. Others
bear the crests of fashionable New
England girls schools.
But every one received by the
special Senate committee on atomic
energy is studied carefully. Even
those Of doubtful merit are shunt-
ed to DR.. Edward U. Condor, the
committees scientific adviser, or
to James r. Newman, his assistant.
You never know-it could hap.
pen that one of us 40, 900, 600 citi-
.zens might be inspired with the
answer sought so earnestly.
The letters are uniform in one
respectively one. All the writer's
are convinced of the grave chal-
lenge to civilization posed by the
fantastic power of nuclear fission.
j, A letter from Harvard suggested
that the United States and other
nations not only renounce the atom
ic bomb but bury all existing speci-
mems and data on how it is made
in a sort of thine capsule" vault
which would be under continuous
military guard.
Members of a labor union local
in Connecticut urged that atomic
energy be kept from monopolistic
development. BY making its bene-
fits widely available, the writers
declared, farmers could blanket
their fields year-round with rays
which would keep weather from
DANA ging their crops, and the polar
regions could be turned into tropics,

the government provide atomic
energy to all public and private
enterprises at half the cost Of coal
or oil, and that this price be con-
tinued until the entire United
States national debt is paid" After
the budget was in perfect balance,
he recommended that the energy
be dispensed at the cost Of pro-
dEction.
