U. s. Seeks World Over For Atomic Energy Minerals

SEATTLE (P)-Atomic director David E. Lilienthal declared here Friday night that the nations atomic program involves "a fan tastic exploration for ore the world over"
 In discussing the peace-time program, the atomic energy com mission chairman said one of the primary functions certainly is' 10 make weapons and improve them, land this is being done rather well in terms of progress. But the real function is much broader than that: to foster knowledge.
 Just how that knowledge will be applied, only a fool would be too sure about. We cay say, however, with assurance that fl will affect the whole complex of life, agriculture, nutrition, educa- tion, international relations, in dustry, peace and war"
 Lilienthal described the nations program for developing atomic knowledge as "very extensive"
 ''It is to be found pretty much all over the World," he declared, from the heart of the Belgian Congo on across the Continental United States, 10 EniWetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It in wolves universities, hospitals, a fantastic exploration for ore the world over, industrial develop ment on a large scale, industrial production, medicine and a great many other fields
 He cautioned a University of Washington audience against the myth of the atom bomb.' He said tha. myth was that atomic ener- gy'S only important use is as a weapon; that talk about peaceful uSeSe is nonsense.
 Nothing he admoni h e could be farther from the truth"
 Speaking ahead of Lilienthal, Rep. Henry Jackson D.-WashD, declared t would take "an Ameri- can iron curtain, police state methods and total imitation of Russia" to keep all atomic secrets intact. lie said it was not feasible.

 See that the ceiling and walls the stove prop ery insulated with asbestos other noncombustible material, leaving at least inch of air-space.
 Clean the chimney checking for cracks through which heat mg ght escape.

II o'clock last night. Neither side
issued any report on what pro-
gress has been made.
Observers here believed the
JAW hopes to get company
financed pension settlement be-
fore the steel workers are sched-
uled to walk out.
Philip Murray. head Of the steel
workers, and Walter Reuther,
UAW chief, have been working
closely together in attempting to
win new economic benefits for
their members. Union sources here
voiced belief the steel workers
would have a strong bargaining
point if Ford granted the UAW a
contract along the lines recon-
mended by the Presidents steel
panel.
Postponement yesterday Of the
steel strike deadline to October ]
has put it two days behind the
limit set on the Ford talks. The
UAW has given Ford a September
20 strike notice.
A Ford settlement at the last
minute would give the steel work.
