Richland Plant
ToBe Center Of
Atomic Research

Prediction that the State Of
Washington would be the center
Of atomic research and that the
Richland plant would become in
creasingly important" was the
highlieht of q jackson Day adj
dress by Senator Hugh Mitchell
in Spokane Saturday plight.
Democrats gathered in all parts
of the state to hear prominent
party members in the annual OBJ
servance. Assistant State Attor-
ney General Ted Little was the
featured speaker for the Benton
Franklin meeting in Richland.
Senator Mitchell warned that
the problems of human welfare
posed by atomic energy are new
and complex" In indicating his
thoughts that atomic research
might center in Washington state
he said "The new erd is symbol
lied for us in Washington State
by the atomic energy plant. I
would like to see Richland, be-
come a center of research on
atomic energy"
From my study Of information
available" the Senator continued
81 am confident in saying that In
the Richland plutonium plant lies
the future of atomic research and
development. Even in this infant
but fast moving development, we
in the Pacific Northwest can say,
as we say in many other fields,
that we look forward-not back
ward"
Stressing- that monopoly was q
problem Of Jaclson's day as it Is
in ours, Senator Mitchell said:
Jackson fought the Bank Of the
United States and the monopoly
power of corporations. He fought
them, not because he hated bank
ing and business, but because he
hated the misuse Of the general
powers Of government for the
special purpose Of a privileged
few"

mat Is the terSe statement
turned in this week by the Red
Cross drive committee. A balance
OF 1882 must be raised within
the next few days If Kennewick
is to meet its obligation to SER
vice men and to the thousands
who regularly require aid in var
ious ways from the Red Cross.
Contributions may be left at
the Fyfe Agency. The committee
urges anyone who has not been
contacted or any who wish to
give an additional amount to
bring such contributions in i'm
mediately. Mrs. II. G.. Fyfe is
general chairman for the drive.
Benton county IS responding
to the needs Of the American Red
Cross in meeting its local and
national quota in. a most COM
mendable manner" said Miss
Dorothy E, Brown, general field
representative who visited in
Richland on Friday and Saturday
Of last week. Although the cam
paign throughout the country has
been somewhat slowed up be-
cause many have assumed the
need to be less urgent with the
end Of the war, the public has
responded generously 4 when the
continuing need for service In
hospitals, overseas and at home
has been recalled to attention.
Miss Brown stated that on &C.
casion during the campaign there
had been criticism Of Red Cross
for charges made in service clubs
overseas. 1T should be known -
she said, "that Red Cross offic-
ials have explained that the War
Department requested that Red
Cross make a small charge for
food and lodging, since the Amer
lean servicemen neither needed
or wanted charity. BY making
this charge, which only covered
actual food costs, Red Cross was
able to serve more men, more
places, more food"
Benton county chapter of the
American Red Cross has an ac-
tive program in many Of the Red
SAOSS SSAV4OSS SuSA do 1AOOOSkAO44,
First Aid, Water Safety and 9th
ers. Home Service work in the
chapter has increased in the last
year and beginning the first of
April an Office especially for FILL
ing requests for this service will
be established in Kennewick.
Other Red Cross programs will
also be coordinated in the Kenne-
wick Office.
Relatives Of service men, ex-
service men and those interested
should be advised that your Ben
ton county chapter is equipped to
give service on veteran and ser
vicemen problems and that there
is twenty-four hour coverage on
emergency problems.
