teacher, who charges she was re-
quired to relinquish her bus seat
to a white passenger and move to

radioactive isotopes for. use in
medicine. agriculture and indus
trial applications, can be made
hotter and smaller" than in any
other reactor. That is. superior
holiness" can be produced in
smaller quantities of material.
Doubts Held by Many.
DR.. w. Bennett Lewis, director
of research at Canada's Chalk
River atomic plant. said in an
other interview:
"A lot of people had doubts
about heavy water and everyone
will now admit that not enough
attention was paid to it."
He did not say whom he meant
by those who had doubts"
Canada's first heavy water re-
actor-a purely experimental de-
vice of low power called the
"Zeep" didn't go into operation
until shortly after the Americans
had perfected. and dropped. their
first atomic bombs on Japan.
The Dominion's second. and
much larger, reactor-called
"NRX" for national research
council experimental"-didn' t
start operating until 1947.
But Canadian scientists say that
one aspect of the pay-off on their
wartime side-bet is the finding
that plutonium can be produced
faster from a given amount of
uranium in a heavy water reactor
than in a graphite device.
Larger Reactor Planned.
The United States has a small
heavy water research reactor that
Ipre-dates Canadas original one.
And the United States Atomic
Energy Commission told me that
a second one is under construc-
ton that will have a higher in
tensity of atomic rays per unit
area than Canada's present
"NRx," although it will be less
powerful in that line than a new
reactor which Canada now is
building.
The projected American reactor
will be smaller than Canada S
present "NRX." It will be de-
signed entirely as a research de-
Ivice-not as producer of radio
active isotopes for which Canada S
device is used to a large degree.
But the Acc says that the pro-
iected reactor could" be used for
Iisotopes production.

Home Builders Head
Calls Defense Rules
Key TO 81 HOUSING

The course defense-inspired
Government regulations take will
be the key to home building ac-
tivity in 1852, Alvin L. Aubinoe,
president of the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan Wash
ington, said today.
In a year-end statement for
The Stars real estate section, Mr..
Aubinoe pointed out that in spite
Of drop in housing construction
this year, the decline was not as
great as for the country as a
whole.
He explained that more than
1900 dwellings had been put
under construction despite Regu-
lation x. a very tight mortgage
money market, metal shortages
and "other restrictive Govern
ment regulations, especially in the
GI housing field"
Halls Builders Foresight"
Reason for the better record
here than in other parts of the
country, he said, was the builders
foresight in obtaining -financ-
ing commitments prior to inaugu-
ration OF Regulation X.
The commitments that were
obtained then, no longer exist ex-
cept in a few very rare cases., he
said.
Mr.. Aubinoe hailed the recent
appointment of Raymond M.
Foley. the present national hous-
ing administrator, as assistant
director of defense mobilization
for housing and community facili-
ties.
1T is most gratifying to have
Mr.. Foley in this important posi-
tion, because we believe he takes
a realistic view of the home build
ing situation" Mr.. Aubinoe said.
"On several recent occasions,
Mr.. Foley has indicated his con-
viction that housing volume
should not go below a reasonable
level-that the inflationary as
pect Of construction at this time
Is less serious than the imitation
which will follow a period of Sc
we're housing shortage" Mr.. Au-
binoe said.
Top-Level Coordination.
Moreover. Mr.. Foley's new posi-
tion will result in a far better top
level coordination between civil
ian defense and military housing.
TO date, there have been 90
defense areas designated, and
there is a graf deal of talk that
this might reach $50.
What is ahead in 1852 on steel
and aluminium?
I'VE have been informed by the
Administrator of the Defense Pro-
duction Administration that steel
production will increase next year
about 20 per cent over postwar
production. We have also learned
that aluminium production will go
up about 80 per cent next year.
"The outlook for copper is any,
thing but good, and this metal will
undoubtedly be the key to house
construction for some time to
come.
According to governmental ex-
perts and large operative builders
who work at these problems from
a national viewpoint, the last six
months of 1852 will be a difficult
time to obtain all types of pipe
wiring devices, flashing. reinforc-
ing steel, fittings and appliances.
However, the $50 members of
the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Washington face the
coming year with hope and a firm
resolution to produce as many
houses for the metropolitan mar
ket as the material situation, the
mortgage picture and the restric-
tions from Government bureaus

CHALK RIVER, Ont, Dec. 90
Canada had the chief stakes in a
kind of safety side-bet made in the
great wartime gamble which pro-
duced the first American atomic
bomb.
And it's now paying off in es-
tablished and potential benefits to
Lost Of Series
industry, agriculture and medi-
cine.
The side-bet was Canada S
atomic project. established in
1943. to investigate the feasibility
of producing plutonium-a poten-
tial bomb material-by a process
differing from the one chosen by
the United States.
The idea was, Canadian scien-
fists told me, that it the method
chosen by the Americans didn't
pan out, the Canadian project
might provide a backstop.
Choice Of Material.
The problem involved a choice
of material to slow down neutrons
in a pile of uranium and thus
sustain a chain-reaction resulting
in the production of plutonium.
The Americans chose graphite,
a form of carbon. because it was
more plentiful and readily avail
able than the principal alternative
substance-"heavy water"
Britain. Canada and the United
States agreed on concentrating
the heavy water research project
in Canada.
The United States furnished
some of its scientists. and also
supplied the heavy water-an un-
disclosed amount, but Canadian
scientists told me it was all that
was available to the Allies at the
time.
But DR.. c. ]. Mackenzie, scien-
tif1c head of Canada's project i'm
piled that Americas participation
in the project was reduced after
the war.
DR.. Mackenzie. referring to the
alternatives presented during the
war. declared:
"As it turned out. graphite did
click, but the heavy water project
has also clicked in many different
ways, some of them spectacular" "
He was referring in part to the
fact that in Canada's reactor,

trolls allocations from lead firms

channeled from abroad through
lead suppliers in this country
would come under the ALLEGATION.

Since the cutback, PAD spokes-
man said, tetraethyl manufac-

Scrap Lead Scarce.
Scrap lead has become almost
n-existent. Dealers, PAD said,
are reluctant to sell lead scrap at
the present ceiling prices. This is
one of the efforts being made by
|NPA-to get more scrap lead flow
ing back to the processing mills.
In a talk at Atlantic City, c. E.

vision of NPA, told members of

ton:
After sufficient tetraethyl is
provided for military aviation gas
and other essential Government
requirements, it would be neces-

Two Government agencies are
making a last-ditch battle to keep
the knocks out OF Washington
automobile engines.
But. prospects for victory ap-
pear dim at the moment and it
may not be long before inferior
gasoline begins showing up here.
Nobody will hazard guess on
when this will happen.
Tetraethyl lead. the compound
that helps boost the octane num-
ber of gasoline and keep carbon
out of motors. threatens to be
short in supply.
The metallic lead needed for
the compound already has been
cut 40 per cent this month to the
tetraethyl lead manufacturers. and
the situation is growing steadily
worse, Government spokesmen
said today.
Making Every Effort
The National Production Ad-
ministration, which ordered the
cut. has told the Petroleum Ad-
ministration for Defense. which
must carry the bad news to the
gasoline manufacturers. that 1t
is making every effort" to re-
store the lead supply to an even
keel.
But NPA has given no indica-
ton that it intends to cut into
it's Stockpile of lead, or into its
stockpiling program, to give the
requested relief.
The PAD has appealed to NPA
for restoration of former lead al
locations to tetraethyl manufac-
turers. That appeal, based on a
statement that tetraethyl is vital
in maintaining the civilian econ
omy, and that a relatively small
amount of metallic lead is re-
quired, now is under considera-
ton.
The men who make tetraethyl
use about 10 per cent of the indus
trial metallic lead in the country.
Three Equal Sources.
This comes from three sources
lead produced in the United
States, imported lead, and reproc-
essed lead from scrap dealers. All
three sources supply about an
equal amount.
The 40 per cent cut was ordered
for all lead users. NPA said, be-
cause imports had declined. The
drop in imports was blamed on
ceiling prices. Imports are bought

Navy Opens School
For Dental Technicians
BY the Associated Press

BAINBRIDGE, Sept. 15.-The
Navy today formally opened a
school here for the training of
technicians to help its dentists at
shore stations and on fighting
ships throughout the world.
Rear Admiral S. o. Claytor, as
sistant chief of its dental section,
was guest of honor at the cere-
monies.
He was reviewing officer for the
formal graduating parade of the
18th class of the Recruit Training
Command, the main activity at

octane number reduction on an
average basis across the board" /"
"Octane number" is based on an
arbitrary laboratory measurement
of 100-octane count.
In the Washington area, regu-
lar gasoline has an octane number
of 83.5. and premium gasoline,
90.5.
How Longs the Question.
PAD spokesmen said how long
until the octane number has to be
reduced in gasoline for civilian
consumption depends on how long

and imported lead.
The manufacturers say that 100
per cent of what they asked for
lis necessary to keep production at
capacity, and to keep quality up.
The reduction in octane number
would begin to show up almost as
soon as reduced shipments of
tetraethyl lead reached the re-
flneries, PAD pointed out, since it
is mixed virtually on delivery.
But unless more lead can be
found, Washington motorists are
going to find increasing knocks
in proportion.
