McMahon Ses Atom Energy
 As War Brake

Washington, July 23-Adequate utilization of atomic energy, under proper safeguards, would be "one of the greatest preventatives of war United States Senator Brien McMahon tD.-Conn.), declared in a broadcast originating here tonight. Congressman Herman P. Kopple- mann, of Hartford, also spoke on the broadcast, carried by the Con necticut State network.
 Congressman Kopplemann asked Senator MeMahon whether he felt that the oppositin to the MeMahon bill for control of atomic energy were justified in stating that it's passage would mean sharing the atomic bomb with the world.
 There was a great deal of talk that by passage of my bill We were executing quit claim on atomic energy" Senator McMahon replied. That is pure balderdash. It sim ply was not sensible. In this bill We provided that as soon as effec- tive international controls are worked out by international agree ments, we would give to the world only the peaceful benefits of atomic energy. That would be one of the greatest preVentives of war that could be devised.
 That is idealistic, but let me re- mlnd you that the great progress of the world has been accomplished by practical idealists, and not by ma terlallsts and the so-called more practical men
 In agreeing with Senator McMa- hons views on the issues of atomic energy development, Congressman kopplemann added:
 T feel as you do that the govern ment should retain control over fu- ture development and decide how atomic energy should be applied, that the decisions regarding the control and application should be the responsibility of civilians. and that the control over patents and future inventions and research should rest in the hands of govern ment. That issue occupied most of the time of the House last week and the debate got pretty furious at times"
 Commenting on the patent provi- slons of the Senate bill, Senator McMahon said: "The Senate sought to protect and serve the peoples in- terestS. :"
 It would be unfair to the people. ne pointed out, to issue a patent Tor exclusive manufacture of an atomic automobile to one firm after the public had spent 5000 ,Ooo, ,ooC on the development of the fission- able materials which had to be used to propel it.

Risdon exercised it's rights under the option and &C., quired the property on May 2l, making it possible for the SAG. stockholders finally to conclude the activities of a corporation that came into being just about IT years ago come Aug. 10. On that date in 1869 four men filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State which established the firm of Smith & GriggS. The articles set forth that it was their purpose to manufacture and sell buckles and fancy goods made of brass, iron and steel.
 The founders were John E. Smith and Henry c. Griggs of Waterbury, Elizur D. Griggs, New Rochelle, N. Y. and c. E. L. Holmes, New York City.

 Maybe there won't be any firing on platts' Mills such as on Fort Sumter, and the chances are there won't be any formation of con tederaey', but last night eleven res- ldents of the Bristol Terrace section said in letter to the Waterbury board of aldermen they will appeal to the next session of the legislature to permit them to "seeede" from Waterbury to Naugatucs,
 The move Is designed In protest Go what they term to be the unfair revaluation of property in that area and the failure of the city to afford proper facilities in the area.
 The section, bordering on the Naugatuck- Waterbury line, near Platts Mills, is said to have been recipient of valuations "three times those of the houses along the Naug- atuck line" and yet little or no facilities are present there"
 It is claimed also by the "seces- stonists" that the average valuation of $l50 on the Waterbury side is matched by one of $50 or $75 on the Naugatuck side. It is also pointed out that the children must travel far to school and pay their own fees. ''No Waterbury policeman has ever been seen in the area" the pro- testants argue.
