But against such appeals for

How much easing is approved by

Atomic power you hear about to-
day is nothing mysterious. It's sub
stitute for coal or oil or gas. AL |
most three-fourths of the nations
power is generated in steam plants. |
Coal or oil or gas is burned to pro-
duce heat to turn water into steam.
The steam turns turbines that 9p-
crate generators that produce kilo-
watts. In the atomic power plant, the
neat to develop steam comes from an
atomic furnace, or reactor.

If atomic power now can't COM l.;
pete with other fuels, and if less {
than $3.50 of the cost of electricity t
is involved anyway, why are power S
companies so interested in it? There /
are two answers.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1953-05-15

First, there's desire to "get in
on the ground floor" 1t may be a
very practical method of generating
electricity 10 years from now, de-
spite today's discouraging economics.
This is not only understandable but
downright progressive for an industry
that didn't think it would pay 20
bring power to farm people.
Second, there's a possibility of
quick profits.
Today's atomic reactors produce
heat as by-product. What most of
them really make is % plutonium
for atomic bombs and (2) radioactive
materials with undreamed of poten-
tialities in medicine and other
sciences. That is why Acc has re-
actors of various shapes and sizes. A
couple of these atom furnaces have
been rugged up with power units to
burn few light bulbs in the build
ing where the reactor is.
What power companies have in
mind is that the government should
build reactors to supply large amounts
VI AOctI IO1 IHS COHNGHllOHdI SIedIl
plants. Or the companies would build |
the reactors and sell the government
plutonium or other products at |
price large enough to pay for the
reactor.
Either way, atomic power would
prove very economical for the COM
Panies-with Uncle Sam footing
the bill. This is the deal that has
private power company officials
talking about rushing out to build
atomic plants as soon as the McMa-
hon-Douglas act is liberalized' to
let private industry push ahead"
Unfortunately, neither sponsor of

E. Y. Floyd Discusses Peanut
Referendum Set For August 29

f. Y. Floyd, Director of Plant
Food Institute. explained TO a
number of Columbus County pea
nut growers the coming Peanut
Referendum which will be held on
Saturday. August %. Mr.. Floyd
Reviewed the peanut situation as
il is today and stated that the Stor-
age situation for Virginia type
peanuts as of July /, of this year
was that the Commodity Credit
Corporation holds 42,235 tons of
farmer stock peanuts from the
1851 crop. The designated corpor-
ativcS i'll the peanut area hold
1902 tons from the 1852 crop.
1888 tons were stored on farms
or held under purchase agree
mentS which adds up to approXi-
mately 10000 tons of peanuts Stor-
ed by the government or it's agen-
cieS. This equals to %, of the
crop of 1852 or 272.0O0 tons. In
addition to this the shelters and
professors held approximately 81
600 tons of farm stock peanuts
and $1,000 tons of shell peanuts.
Therefore the total stock at the
present time has approximately
100000 tons of peanuts.
Mr.. Floyd stated that in review
ing this situation something must
be done so that the Virginia type
peanuts can move more readily in
trade channels otherwise farmers
can expect a price drop and there
is question as to whether the
government will continue to sup
port peanuts at the present level.
AS Mr.. Floyd explained the
purpose of the Referendum of
August % is for the North Caro-
lima peanut growers to decide
whether or not farmers are willing

peanuts sold. This money being

One of the Nations top con-
fidence men who has operated in
Washington at various times
and perpetrated his hoaxes
as high as the United States
Senate has been arrested, the
Justice Department announced
yesterday.
Joseph Levy. Sc, was caught
yesterday at the Churchill
Downs racetrack in Louisville,
KY. after apparently being a
sucker himself for the rackets
of others. He was arrested by
FBI agents as he gave a race
track tout $40 for a tip on a
horse. He was on the list of ten
most-wanted men.
HOaxed a Senator.
Levy, who had used 80 aliases
since his first arrest in 1914 on
false pretense charges. showed
up on May 4, 1948, at the Office
of an unidentified Senator and
posed as the assistant warden
of a State penitentiary.
The swindler was received
cordially and conducted on a
courtesy tour of the Capital. He
used his contact with the Sena-
tor as a means of Identification
to float a bad check before he
skipped.
Recently. according to the
FBI, he had been able to patron
lie the $50 bet windows at the
races with a novel check CASH
ing racket.
He would purchase" expen-
sive gifts with orders that they
be sent to various well-known
governmental personages here.
The check he proffered in pay
ment was for a larger amount
than necessary. The f1attered
merchant would give him the
cash for the difference. OF
course, the check was bad. Some
Washington residents are still
receiving the gifts" from diff
ferent parts of the country.
Bad Checks TOta1ed $4,000.
The FBI said Levy has been
sought since March, 1851, in
connection with the casling of
fraudulent checks totalling $34,-
900 during that period.

with his swindles.
In April, 1851, he used his
charm on widow he met at q

vouched for the authenticity OF
a 1928 check he drew on an Illi-
nois bank. He accepted her
hospitality and in gratitude pre-
sented her with $1,000 check.
It was only after he disappeared
that she learned both checks
were equally bad.
The following year, Levy had
another widow in tow. He gave
her an $4,000 check as pay
ment on a house with the i'm
piled understanding that it was
a wedding present for their
forthcoming nuptials. Shortly
afterward he requested her to
cash a $500 personal check for
him. There followed the usual
sudden departure and the equal
ly sudden discovery that both
checks were phoney.
MarrieS Widow.
In 1852 he married another
widow. They opened a Joint
bank account in California. Levy
contributed a worthless $4,000
check. He then drew $500 from
the account and left the day
after the wedding. Other women
were victimized the same way,
with one of them giving him
her $4,000 ring that he might

shortcomings by a good vocabu-
