First Atomic Engine
For Airp|anes 10 Be
Started by GE Soon
By John A. Giles

The United States now is ready
to begin actual construction of the
worlds first known atom powered
aircraft engine.
This was disclosed late yester-
day, with Air Force permission. by
the General Electric Co. shortly
after the arrival here OF an Eng
lish-made Canberra jet bomber
which streaked across the Atlantic
Wednesday in four hours and 40
minutes. 1t landed at Andrews Air
Force Base after Ia 450-mile-a
hour flight from Gander, New
foundland, for demonstration
before top Air Force officials.
The Air Force also disclosed that
one of its BAT Stratojet bombers
flew the Pacific to Honolulu
Thursday in less than six hours
for an average speed above 400
miles an hour.
Negotiations Under Way.
The GE spokesman said con-
tractual negotiations for the
nuclear power plant "are under
way" Actual production OF
atomic-powered engines is ex-
pected to take several years.
officials say that an atom-pow-
cred plane would have almost un-
limited range and speed. They
observed there are designs for
aircraft able to travel $500 miles
an hour. And a pound of U-235
used in producing nuclear power
is calculated to do the work of
6 million gallons of gasoline.
GE said it expected to work on

Jet Production to Rise.
While pushing it's program for

This was disclosed last night
by Defense Mobilizer Charles E..
Wilson in a Nationwide radio talk.
He said:

ton capacity of $4,000 tanks

In winging here from the end
of its record breaking fight from
Ireland to Newfoundland, the
British Canberra covered 1925
miles in three hours and 10 min
utes. Its pilot said its air speed
averaged between $50 and 500
miles an hour.
Longest Jet Flight of Kind.
The BATS 2,400-mile nonstop
flight from Sacramento. Calf, to
Honolulu gave an indication of
the progress being made in in
creasing the striking range of jet
bombers. The swept wing
plane, designed to carry atomic
bombs, completed the longest
flight of it's kind for jets in the
Pacific hop.

The board makes the final de-
cisions on types of planes to be
bought. After Mondays show,
the Canberra will go to Wright

technical study. If the Air Force
decides to buy the type, plans call
for its construction at the Glenn

Not 30 long ago. there appeared
In the papers a report of a Hawaii

mission into Australia on the
grounds that he was an Oriental.
Australia has a poncy the

and aims at keeping It's people from
being contaminated" by Japanese,
Chinese, and Filipinos, ana other
Asiatics.
Asiatics have been smarting UNI
der the policy for years, and regard
1t as a barefaced proclamation by
Aussies to the world that they are
racially superior to Orientals.
At the same time they look upon
1t as an indication of Aussie fear
fear of Orientals as an economic
threat as well as a menace to their
social standards.
The White Australia" policy is
as out of place in this enlightened
era as the horse and buggy.
This is the age of the United Ma
lions, when countries are attempt
ing to tear down racial BARRIERS and
equalize opportunities among all
peoples, regardless of race or color
or creed.
Australia's SNUG policy is a
shameful contradiction of the prin-
ciples which they avowedly espouse.
On the one hand, Australia sits
on the council of the United Ma
lions siding with those nations stri-
wing to establish a free world.
Yet, at the same time it practices
the most fragrant and disgraceful
form of racial discrimination ina
ginable.
It's bad enough for Aussies to in
woke this policy at home, but it be-
comes utterly foul and unforgivable
for them to enforce it elsewhere, as
they did IN Japan.
In Japan the set up was such that
American and Australian occupa-
tion forces could stay at each others

The Aussies were stationed in
Japan after the war for the same
reasons that the American forces
were-to maintain peace and at the
same time to show the Japanese
how democracy works.
How the Aussies hoped to teach
democracy to the Japanese through
the enforcement Of such discrimina-
tory measure against Nisei was
something :. which perhaps only a
CONSTRUCTED Australian mind could
perceive.
What the Aussies seemed to for
get was that at one time Nisei were
quite welcome in Australia. That
was In the dark days Of 1912 when
the Japanese hordes were sweeping

Nisei intelligence men played a

and as important cogs in the psy-

checking the Japanese advance and
in throwing them back island by IS
land.
The thanks the Nisei got for all
that was a door slammed in their
faces when they tried to register at
Australian-operated hotels in Japan.
Well, some day the Aussies may
wake up to the fact they are living
in the twentieth century. Let's hope
that happens soon.

For Extra Acc Funds

President Truman asked Con.

preparation of $51.3 million for the
Atomic Energy Commission fol
the current fiscal year.
There was no explanation of the
specific uses to which the money
will be put.
At the same time, he suggested
changes in the budget for the
fiscal year starting July l which
will produce a net decrease OF
$5,317,000 in the figures originally
submitted in January.
The cut came In the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, where the
President said the original bulge
tary estimate could be reduced by
$6,117,000, due largely to cut in
the projects program of the Air

for Soldiers Home employees;

the Reds usually waited on their

Swift Defense
Action Urged
BY Eisenhower
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, April 2.-Gen. Eisen-
hover said today that any delay
in congressional action on defense
measures would delay the whole
preparation" of defense of West
Iern Europe.
The statement was made in re-
sponse to a question at a news
conference, the first one he has
given since he took over COM
mand of the defense of Europe
Actually and technically he took
command of the organization of
Western European defense at one
minute after midnight today. Re-
spending to the question about
any possible delay in congress
sional action on pending defense
legislation, Gen. Eisenhower said:
Anything done which would
indicate reluctance on the part of
any country to get into this pool
of cold water would delay the
whole preparation of defense.
my concern is that each ma
ton should show it's full readiness
to cooperate"
Significance in Order.
Gen. Eisenhower said taking
over command was simply a for
mality in keeping with old military
tradition that a new commander
should issue an order No. / an
nouncing that he had taken COM
mand.
Nevertheless to most Europeans
it had a special significance. As
of the moment he took over, all
European divisions and naval
units which have been turned ovel
to the North Atlantic Theaty Or
ganization defense were taken
under his guiding wing. This in
cludes not only their operations in
defense, but their training and
supply.
Gen. EISENHOWER set out at once
to explain section of his testi-
mony earlier in the year before
a congressional committee by as
serting that he had no intention
of retiring to the 'Brest PENN
sula" as a means of defending
Europe. He said such quota
