Atom Plane Blueprint
Finished as Acc Plans
New Colorado Plant
By John A. Giles


The Government has announced
a new step looking toward the
early development of atomic
powered airplanes.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion's disclosure last night that a
contract would be negotiated "for
the further development of a nu-
clear reactor for aircraft" followed
by a few hours an announcement
that a $45-million plant for a
major secret-type of production
would be built northwest of Den
yer.
The plant, small in size COM
pared to Hanford, Wash, and Oak
Ridge, Tenn, will be started late
next month and completed next
lyear. There was speculation that
the secret operation may involve
a new process for making bomb
materials-or at least an improve
lment over old ones.
GE to Get Engine Contract.
The Acc said the atom aircraft
contract would be negotiated with
the General Electric Co.'S aircraft
gas turbines division. A gas tur-
bine engine uses Superheated
gases to Whirl a turbine which
turns the aircraft's propellors. 1t
was assumed, therefore. that ways
would be sought to use heat from
a nuclear reactor to heat air or
other gas for a turbine engine.
Some turbine engines also use
the superheated gas as a jet after
it has passed through the turbine
to give the motor additional
power.
While Air Force officials have
said atomic engines for aircraft
were entirely feasible, it is ex-
pected that it will be at least
several years before one is actually
produced. The theoretical phase
mathematical computations
has been completed.
New Plant Is production" Type.
Some scientists have estimated
that a single pound of uranium
235 could drive a B-36 intercon-
.tinental bombardment plane-the
plane to which the air arm looks
to deliver the atomic bomb itself
to distant targets-80 times
around the world.
The speculation that the new
Colorado plant-nestled in barren
land against the foothills of the
Rockies-would make new bomb
materials was based on the Aces
own description of the acreage of
the new site, the number of per-
sonnet and power requirements.
In at least one of these points.
and in some instances all three,
the Colorado plant will differ
from other plants. Acc de-
Scribed the new installation as a
production" plant.
The Aces other four plants
Hanford, Oak Ridge and projected
ones in South Carolina and Ken
lucky - also are production
plants, but they are much larger.
Colorado Layout Is Small.
The Colorado plant will occupy
$500 acres, employ only 1000 and
have only moderate water, gas
and electric requirements"
In contrast. Hanford-whose
plutonium is produced for bombs
spreads over 100000 acres, en-
ployes $500 and requires fairly
large" amounts of electric power
and water. Oak Ridge, where fis-
sionable uranium 235 is separated
from uranium as it occurs in ma
ture, 10000 are employed, $1,000
acres of land are required and
fairly large" amounts of electric
power are used.
A spokesman said the Colorado
plant would not produce atomic
weapons "as SUCH" but he refused
to say what would be produced.

diagnosis cannot be made if thi
is the case.
Please send the entire head O
the animal, FRESHLY packed i

health department or to your 10
cal veterinarian, SO it can be for
warded to the laboratory in de

Korean Situation Is
Discussed ByCIark

An interesting talk on world
affairs was heard Tuesday at the
Lexington Rotary Club given by
Rotarian Hayes Clark, pastor of
the Presbyterian churches Of
Lexington and Tchula.
The Rev. Mr.. Clark discussed
the Korean situation and gave
some background f a cts which
pointed up the development of
the present situation.
He pointed out that at tn e
Cairo Conference the promise
was made that Korea would be
free and independent; but in
spite of American promises the
country was divided and W e
were a party to the division.
The speaker said that Korea
as not important geographically
or politically but it is important
because it is normal question
of America holding to her word.
Korea represents, Mr.. Clark
said, "the vanguard movement
of the containment of Russia and
Russian ideology."
America is walking today to-
ward the brink of the abyss, the
Rev. Mr.. Clark said, unless there
is a reawakening to moral and
spiritual values, a regaining of
the concept of moral values that
has made our country great.
