omic front.
The group visualizes the first
nuclear power plants as develop
ment in character and, even
though completely successful in
producing power, not the techni-
cal or economic equal of later
plants.
Mr.. Sporn explained that the
five companies desire, not only
to pool their resources in ex-
ploring the potentialities of
economical atomic power, but
also to perpetuate the electric
utility industry's long-establish-
ed practice of freely exchanging
information, to the extent that
security permits, in the interest
of rendering the best possible
electric service at the lowest
practical cost. Previous studies
by these companies, all of which
have been active in various
phases of the Acc industrial
study program, have confirmed
the technical feasibility of pro-
ducing electric energy from
nuclear sources.
Mr.. Sporn, who also is presi-
dent of the American Gas and
Electric Company and its subsid-
iary here, The Ohio Power Co.,
said that AGES participation in
the project of Nuclear Power
Group is the elimination of sew
eral years active participation
in the field of atomic power.
This work includes past and con-
tinuing study by the company's
staff, as well as close working
relations with the Acc and its
staff. Along this line, several
members of the AGE organiza-
ton have been assigned as
technicians on atomic projects
The AGE Service Corporation
also formed an active Nuclear
Power Section in it's Mechanical
Engineering Division in 1852.

Home Rule Group
Sees Best Chances

Chances for taking the first

last night.
The statement pointed out
that when Ulysses S. Grant was

in 1873, Washington citizens
could elect a legislative assembly
to govern their own affairs and
had delegate in the House.
But in 1878. Congress passed
the act aboliShing local suffrage
and representation for the Dis
trict. it noted.
"As President Dwight Eisen-
hover leads his own Inaugural

on Tuesday, voteless Washing
tonians will be looking at him
and to his administration to
carry out the Republican 1852
platform pledge. We favor self

Hartman Alarmed
Over Cey|on Rubber
Deal With Peipinq
BY the Assoeioted Press

Averell Hartman, retiring for
eign aid chief, expressed critical
concern" yesterday over a deal
by Ceylon to ship $50, 900 tons Of
strategic rubber to Communist
China over the next five years.
In a farewell report to Con-
gress, Mr.. Hartman said the
Ceylon government concluded the
deal with the Reds after spurn-
ing a United States offer to buy
the rubber at existing world
market prices.
Ceylon preferred to negotiate a
five-year rubber deal with Pei
ping, he said. because the Com
lnunists consented to pay 40 per
cent higher than market prices.
Asked $50 Million Aid, Too.
Mr.. Hartman told the legis-
lators the Ceylon government
had insisted on a $50 million
economic aid program from the
United States over the next five
years as part of its condition
for selling the rubber to the
American Government.
The United States could make
no such promise and so Ceylon
signed with the Communists,
Mr.. Hartman said. despite the
fact that it has an anti-Com-
munist government" Ceylon, an
island in the Indian Ocean. is a
self-governing dominion of the
British Commonwealth.
Mr.. Hartman cited the Ceylon
rubber shipments in an 89-page
report telling of the problems
involved in blocking shipments
of strategic materials to the
Communist world.
He said the Ceylon deal is
important in itself" because that
country is the only non-Com-
munlSt nation now shipping rub
ber to MoScow-dominated areas.
Critical Concern to U. S.
"The solution of Ceylon's new
relationship with Communist
China must remain a matter of
critical concern to the United
States" Mr.. Hartman said, add
ing:
Communist China has ap-
parently entered into this agree
ment not only in order to obtain
the rubber which it needs for
but also for the sake of the
political propaganda value which
the trade agreement bears in
Southeast Asia"

that appear unreasonably de-
layed."
The worst offender" he said,
"is the Eastern District of
Michigan. The original report
from that Office listed some 500
cases and complaints on which
no action had been taken for
periods ranging from l to 10
years. A request for an eX-
planation of the delay in these
cases has not brought any
response"
Staff Increase Needed.
The United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of Mich
igan is Philip A. Hart. He told
the Associated Press in New
York that he will have to have
a substantial increase" in staff
to handle the work load.
The report of the Southern
District of New York. Mr.. Nc
Granery said, contained a num-
Der of apparently delinquent
matters which were explained as
postponed due to more pressing
matters. A large number were
similarly listed in the report
from the Southern District Of
California.
The United States Attorney for
Southern New York is Myles j..
Lane; for Southern California,
Walter S. Bin11s.
In New York, Mr.. Lane said
The did not believe Mr.. McGran-
.ery's report implied any criti-
cism of himself and his assist
ants, since the shortage of Fed
eral judges in his district was
we'll known and had been the
subject of bill in Congress last
year.
We've kept the criminal
judges busy with constant
stream of cases." Mr.. Lane said.
We've worked the judges to
their maximum capacity"
Mr.. Lane also noted that the
district handles about one third
of the Federal prosecution work
of the entire country, and that
pressing matters" like the Com
muniSt trials and the John David
Provoo treason case had occu-
pied Federal judges here for
many months.
In Los Angeles, Mr.. Binns said,
sit is hard to convince the rest
of the Nation that Southern Cal
ifornia is growing as fast as it is
it has been quite a few years
since we have had an increase in
staff
Mr. McGranery got little posi-
tive evidence in reply to a queS-
ton about organized crime.
Nearly all those reporting on
this point stated that any OIL
ganized crime in the district was
in violation of State and local
laws rather than Federal laws" :"
