NAVY SEEKS ATOM POWER

The navy is experimenting with
atomic power for warships, Admiral
w. H. P. Blandy, commander of the
Atlantic Fleet, said this week. Sue
cess would mean that ships could
go great distances without refuel-
ing, as the materials for atom
power take far less space than
oil or coal.

Continued from page u

The building of "Kosmos" III
has been followed with keen in
terest in Scandinavian shipping
circles, not only because of the
size of the ship but also because
it has involved a race for time.
According to international regu-
lations. the whale hunting season
starts on December and ends on
April s, and the ship had there
fore to be ready in time before
the aforementioned date if the
owner and his hundreds of work
ers were not to lose the income of
an entire season. Moreover, Nor
way and the world would lose the
much needed addition of vital food
products which such a ship is cap
able of producing.
The Gotaverken shipyard was
working against rather heavy
odds. The launching, which took
place on April 9, 1947, was de-
layed owing to the severe cold
last winter, and the scarcity of
material and man power, partly
caused by the fact that the yard
was engaged on several other big
tasks such as the building of the
passenger liner stockholm" and
the cruiser Tire Kronor" as we'll
as many tankers and cargo liners.
However, thanks to the coopera-
ton on the part of all concerned
the shipyard,. the sub-deliverers in
Sweden and Norway as we'll as
the authorities = the Gotaverken
managed to deliver the ship on
time. In the later phase of the
work the yard received most val
liable assistance from about $50
Norwegian workers, who were
placed at its disposal, and a con-
siderable number of whom belong
to the crew that are now sailing
with the ship in the Antarctic.
The loading capacity of the YES
sci is 800 tons on a draft of 81
TT, LIS inches. If the vessel, which
between the whaling seasons car
be used as a tanker, had beer
built as an ordinary tankship. its
loading capacity would have beer
about 27,50O tons DIV. The hui

been specially strengthened fol

considerable part of the welding
especially on the decks, has beer

At the suggestion of the Atomic

After the delivery trip, which
was attended by a large number

Scandinavian countries, the ship
proceeded to Sandefjord in Nor
way to complete her stores and
crew, and from there she headed

Ford Production Lines
Watched for Effect
.0f Foremen' 5 Strike
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, May %. Production
lines at three big factories OF the
Ford Motor Co., being watched fol-
any signs OF faltering. rolled on
today under the handicap OF a fore
mems strike.
AS the walkout OF approximately
$500 organized supervisory men
headed into second day, its ulti-
mate effect on production for a
car hungry America remained spec
ulatiYe.
It was conceded, however, that
serious results were inevitable II
the strike continues for long
Immediately affected were Ford's
three Detroit area plants employ
ing 1880 production workers who
with the employees of General Mo-
tors and Chrysler, produce the bulk
of the nations automobiles.
Wages Not Involved.
Members of the Foremen's Asso-
ciation of America, independent
| union, walked out at the Ford
Rouge, Highland Park and Lincoln
plants in mid-morning yesterday
Their complaint, in general, was
over accumulated grievances-but
not basic wages.
At the same time the company
refused to bulge from its position
that the foremen were members OF
management and therefore not en-
TITLED to strike.
The Ford -FAA contract, until
| terminated recently by mutual con-
sent, had been in force since 1914
although the company challenged
the desirability Of unionization OF
Supervisory men.
The FAA called its strike in the
face OF intervention by Henry
Ford II, company president, with a
plea that nothing would be gained"
/ oy a walkouts
Ford Proposal Rejected.
Ford had sought futiiey to ward
off a strike with an offer to renew
the contract. The FAA rejected the
proposal.
The FAA, as the strike began,
said Ford's assembly lines would
cease operating within "a day and
Ia half to two days" The company
declined to estimate effects but
instructed plant managers to "oper-
ate so long as materials and per-
sonnel are available"
With the end of yesterdays day
shift, the company reported its steel
operations satisfactory" and said
the Rouge plant, employing $1,000
production men, had turned out "a
few cars over schedule"
While the strike was still in the
threatening stage, the company had
warned the FAA that a walkout at
this time would cause 'immeasu-
lrable harm"

I'VE know such things are done,

are extrsfnely cautious in shoulder

patients life. I am not ashamed
ito say that ] have done so. And
I know medical friends of mine OF
the most transparent honesty who
have confessed to me that they had
to give way to patient crying for
mercy.
/ TT is we, the general practition-
ers, who know, who are willing to
accept the heaviest responsibility
the taking of life-and risking our
status as doctors and risking our

toward what he hopes will be a
new Washington link with the
Pennsylvania turnpike to strengthen
transportation for national defense.
The Senator asked Maj. Gen.

projects feasibility.
In letter made public by the
Senator, he asked:
What interstate arrangements
would be necessary to make toward
that objective and what might be
q rough estimate as to costs and
financing?"
The Senator said he fells that
such a major highway link with the
Pennsylvania turnpike from the
National Capital would prove an
invaluable self-sustaining project
"and would provide transportation
facilities In and out of the Capital
in event of an attack on the

Board today denied applications fol
licenses to operate liquor stores II
three Washington locations.
The board denied an application
of Morris Hickman for operation o1
a store at 5104 Macarthur boulevard

were inappropriate for a liquor store
and that it would be contrary to
the wishes of home owners anG
residents of the area. The proposed
location was within 400 feet of q

found.
Other applications were denied
Dean Liquors, Inc, seeking a license
for a store at 1913 Kenilworth ave-
nue. NE, and Gardner Spring White

developments. Majority of owners
and residents Of one development
protested the store, it was said
and the corporation owning the
other development objected.
The majority of residents and
property owners In the neighbor-
hood Of the proposed Pennsylvania
avenue store also opposed its license,
the findings said.
The board this morning dismissed
charges Of violating liquor advertise
ing regulations which had been
placed against Comet Liquors, Inc,
