Atomic Power for Submarines

The pleasure evidenced by the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Atomic Energy over
the progress being made on atomic power plants
for submarines indicates that revolutionary de-
velopments in undersea warfare may not be far
away Although Chairman Mcmahon declined
to give any details the project, he made it
plain to reporters that the Navy had made an
optimistic progress report" to the committee.
There have been other recent indications that
the Navy Atomic Energy Commission combined
effort to design prototype atomic engine is ap-
preaching a climax. It is reported, for example,
that more naval submarine experts have been
assigned to the project, on which General Elec-
trio and Westinghouse engineers are co-operat-
ing.
With an atomic power plant and atomic
weapons, submarine would become more dread
full than its creators ever dreamed of. Atomic
power would enable it to travel great distances
without refueling and without resurfacing.
Diesel engines, with their high consumption of
fuel oil and their fumes and battery powered
electric power plants would be rendered obsolete.
While the atomic engines probably would be
bulky, because of the shielding required to pro-
tect the crew against harmful radations, no
large fuel tanks or storage batteries would be
Involved 1t has been said that a spoonful of
atomic fuel would equal several million times
that quantity of gasoline or OIL and would supply
power for long periods.
If an atomic engine for submarines proves
successful, it should be readily adaptable for
larger vessels Thus, the studies now going for

patients In hospital must be gotten up
after an operation as soon as possible.
This is because lack of motion does all
sorts of things to the human body.
The eyes also suffer. They are close
to the brain. one part of them being
veritable prolongation of it.
Eyes also have muscles. 1t is these
muscles which must encounter some
thing in bed rest they seldom meet any
place else.
This is because mostly the eyes look
down at the feet while one is in bed
It is a perfectly unnatural thing for q
human being to do.
The only way the sick person can over
come this tendency is to look at the
ceiling, and this is not very entertaining.
There is one other way he can counter
act it and that is by reading But here
he finds himself on the horns of the
famous dilemma, for he should not read,
except for very short periods.
If he is getting along in years, he will
not miss too much.
He has read great deal, as it is,
sometimes too much, he may think.
He can solace himself with the recol-
lection of all the good stories he read
in bed in the past. There was tremen-
dous pile of the old BLACK Mask" detec-
tive magazines. How wonderful he thought
wonderful. Many Of today's shining,
whodunits in their hard covers are
pretty shoddy Jobs by comparison.

He will recall that the magazine had
many advantages for reading in bed.
II it got crumpled, it did not make much
difference.
One bed-read book he recalls with
affection is Rider Haggards Swallow"
This was story of high adventure in
Africa by the old master 1t was good
then, it would be good now Haggards
,"She" Is better known but it is no
better story.
If the modern sick person insists on
reading, he should make sure he has a
very good light.
Pillows should be adjusted properly, 30
that the neck is not thrust forward.
It is scarcely necessary to add that
getting foods or medicines on ones book
is no nicer in bed than elsewhere.
To read or not to read is not even
the question. We have decided that
already. The older person will stead
fastly stick to this. The younger patient
may do as he pleases. It is one of the
privileges Of youth to do foolish things
Even the young person should beware
Of too heavy book Gadgets for hold
ing books in bed usually are not very
effective. The heavy book just will push
into the chest or wherever one holds the
book. After a time this can become
nuisance. Wherefore if one must read
In bed he should be careful to select q
light volume In physical sense.

Why 18-Yeur-OIds?

There is much discussion in Congress
and elsewhere of the question of draft
ing 18-year-olds for the armed forces.
The Defense Department contends they
make the best soldiers, but records do
not substantiate this. 1t would seem
that, because they cannot vote even
though they are considered mature
enough to fight and die for their coun-
try, they cannot protest even when their
lives are needlessly sacrificed, as has been
the case in Korea.
And why should the mothers of young
boys be willing to give their sons to
military organization which does not
have men at the top with enough fore
sight to make sure they will have proper
clothing and equipment when sent into
combat? Or do they care at all about
the welfare of the enlisted man?
And why should older boys in college
be deferred while the younger ones are
taken instead? 1t does not benefit the
country, as was proved by the refusal of
those deferred and educated by the Gov
ernment in the recent war, to serve when
needed. It serves only to create privi-
legged class.
1t is my feeling that the life of single
man means as much to him and to his
family as that of married man, and
that in war like this every man and
woman should sacrifice and serve in some
way. The burden should not be borne
by one group alone.

Water Policy Confusion Costly

The latest report of the Presidents Water
Resources Policy Commission provides Congress
with additional evidence of the need for gen.
eral overhaul of the Governments program for
conservation and development of the Nations
water resources Much evidence as to the short
comings OF present policies and procedures was
contained in the Hoover Commissions report on
the same subject.
The new report shows that most of todays
difficulties have arisen because of the haphazard
way in which Congress, over the years, has
tackled recurrent problems of flood control,
power, navigation and irrigation. Law after law
has been passed without proper consideration of
overlapping authority or the effects on already
established river development programs. Thus,
eight different Federal agencies have legal
authority to collect information on stream flow
and related matters. AS many as four agencies
have conducted surveys of drainage basins, the
studies often duplicating the work of other
agencies. Both the Army Engineers and the
Bureau of Reclamation prepared comprehensive
plans for development of the Missouri River
Basin. The Hoover Commission summed it up
this way: Rival Federal agencies compete for
taxpayers money in what often appear to be
premature and unsound river development
projects duplicating each others surveys and
bidding against each other for local support,
at national expense"
Both commissions agree that Congress should
study this problem on broad scale and effect
a better coordination of laws and programs.
The Presidents Commission does not 60 as far
as the Hoover Commission did in recommending
overall consolidation of competing agencies"
But any coordination of conflicting laws in
evitably would involve some coordination of
agencies, If not their consolidation. Congress
should not overlook this fertile field for i'm
proving governmental efficiency. ..>.s.ss=...ss,

The Old System Was Better

The frightened loyalty program recommended
by the Loyalty Review Board would involve no
new, untried principles in the field of internal
security. It would merely revive World War II
policy that was more effective than the modified
postwar loyalty program has proved to be.
The 1912 executive order required that the
Government be given the benefit of any reason
able doubt" as to the loyalty of suspected Fed
eral employe The 1947 executive order shifted
the balance in favor of the employe-an under
standable modification in view of the peacetme
relaxation of security standards. Had the old
order been in effect when the Remington case de-
veloped, the Loyalty Review Board presumably
would have supported the regional board in its
efforts to fire Remington But the board inter-
preted the 1947 order as requiring proof that
Remington was disloyal at the time his case
was under study and the majority of the board
felt that definite proof was lacking. Neverthe-
less, 1t is reliably reported that majority of the
board had reasonable doubts about his loyalty.
Hiram Bingham, new head of the board, is
right in contending that the Government should
be given the benefit of any reasonable doubt"
when Communists are trying to exploit every
opportunity to infltrate Federal departments
In general and defense agencies in particular.
AS Admiral Nimitz, head of the new Internal
Security Commission, points out, the basic
principle must be the paramount right of our
Nation to survive.
At the same time if such broadened powers
are restored to loyalty officials, great should
be exercised to avoid injustice to the innosent.
Mr.. Bingham indicated that the board would
follow Judge Medina's concept of reasonable
doubt" as expounded at the trial of the II Com
rnunist headers in New York last year. Judge
Medina advised the jury that reasonable doubt
must be based on reasoning and not on prejudice,
whim or preconceived notions If the Loyalty
Review Board adheres to that principle, there
will be little cause to fear the effects of
revival of the wartime loyalty policy.

SeIf-Incriminotion

Attorney General McGratfs statement that
he intends to ask Congress for authority to grant
immunity from prosecution to some witnesses
before grand juries and congressional committees
has much to commend it.
The Constitution provides that no person
can be compelled to give testimony against him
self in any criminal proceeding. Under the pro-
lection OF this clause an increasing number of
witnesses have been refusing to answer questions
before grand juries and committees of Congress,
pleading standardization Several have been
subsequently tried for contempt.
In the case of grand jury witnesses the
Supreme Court has interpreted the constitutional
provision broadly. Without grant of immunity
from prosecution, it seems doubtful that much
in the way of investigation can be accomplished
through the grand jury procedure.
The case with congressional committees is
q little different. These have not ordinarily
been thought of as criminal proceedings Last
week, however, District Court Judge Let's threw
out contempt case against man who had re-
fused to answer many questions asked by the
Senate crime investigating committee The wit
ness claimed that the questions were self in
criminatory, and Judge Let's sustained him.
AS result, the effectiveness of congressional
Investigations, even though they may not be
pointed toward criminal proceedings, has been
impaired If a witness, upon a plea of self
incrimination, can successfully refuse to testify
before congressional committee many a sordid
mess is apt to go unexplored and unexposed
And in this event. 1t might well be better as Mr..
McGrath suggests, to grant immunity to some
lesser culprts, if thereby the truth as to the
activities of major offenders can be established.
