t r ID TAKE ATOMIC PLANT

WASHINGTON, June 5, -(P)- A major step was taken to put the atom to work for humanity when the War Department an- nounced a contract with General Electric Company for extensive research program" in atomic en- ergy.
 Under the contract General FL ectric will take over from E. I. Dupont de Nemours, the opera ton of the governments $347, ,000- 900, plant at Hanford, Washing ton, about September lst.
 Tt was the urgent request of the government in time of the national emergency for the Du- pont Company to undertake and design of the Hanford works" it was announced, ''the work was undertaken with the understand ing that the company would with draw from the program as soon after hostilities were over as con- sistent with the governments plans.
 This decision is based on the fact that this program in peace time aspects lies primarily in the field of power gerenatiOn and only to a limited extent in the chem 1 ical field which Dupont normally works. The Dupont company has worked at the request of the army and the contract was to run to Dec. 31, 1946, but can be termin- ated earlier"
 ! The statement was made by Charles E. Wilson, president of , General Electric, and he added The company accepts the respon- sibility because of its tremendous ! importance to our national inter est, that we maintain and develop still further our country's pre- eminence in the field of atomic energy, having in mind both mil itary applications as power source, and other beneficial ap- plications.
