Should this be the first power

ate it? Or should simple" power
plants be built first?
Could Be in Operation by 1854.
Mr.. Jackson says, IF we make
the decision now, such a reactor
could be operating by the end
of 1854"
He says. Il am told that one
typical model might we'll be con-
|structed for $50 to $40. This same
model, it is said, could supply at
commercial attractive prices -
taking into account the plutonium
also produced-all the electricity
needed Tor a city OF 100000"
Mr.. jackson says that atomic
power could not replace cheap
hydroelectric power, such as exists
in his home State of Washington,
but "in the forseeable future it
would be useful only in areas
where the price of electricity from
convential sources is high"
1t won't be our grandchildren
who will first enter the peaceful

within two to five years. How we
enter it will be hot issue before

brown after they are peeled be-
cause OF a complex chemical re-

The public power issue is in
the headlines between Gen. Els

but strangely overlooked in Amer

all likelihood, will be passed upon
by the Congress soon to be
elected. That is atomic power.
Representative Jackson Demo

campaigner who has yet ap-
preached the subject, and even
he did not answer the hottest
question confronting the atomic
industry.
Who should develop atomic
power? The Government? Pri-
vate industry? A combination Of
both?
The question will be a hot po-
litical issue within the next two
years, for atomic power is on the

was thought possible a few years
ago.
Fear Government Monopoly
So far no private companies
have built reactors with their
own money, but some say that
they would like to-if only they
could be assured that their in
ventions and developments would
not be monopolized by the Gov
ernment. but would result in an
honest profit for themselves
Meanwhile, some labor and sci
entiflc groups have expressed
themselves in favor of the Gov
ernment itself developing this

atomic secrets we will not have

Representative Jackson, whose
non-political speech was made be-
fore the University of Michigan
Law School. pointed out that the
Joint Committee on Atomic En-.
ergy of which he is a member
had itself displayed considerable
private enterprise" 1t is an oper
secret that Acc officials once felt
that it was so costly to find ano
refine uranium that one never
could expect to have thousands o1
atomic bombs.
Thousands Of Atomic Bombs
The joint committee members
refused to take that for an an

uranium program. Now. as Mr.
Jackson says, 1t Is possible tt

Currently some members of the
congressional committee, Mr.
Jackson among them, are prod

the nuclear-chain reactor al

an experimental basis. The ACC
is now considering the proposals
of private companies to build
atomic power reactors on a partly

only make power, they would
produce plutonium as an inevi-
