On All Atomic Power
BY the Assoeioied Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 19.-
Representative Cole, Republican,
of New York, chairman of the
House-Senate Atomic Energy
Committee, said today any pri-
vate production of atomic en-
ergy always will entail measure
of Government control.
There can be no atomic give
away and no private atomic mo-
nopoly allowed to grow" he said
in a speech prepared for the
conference on industrial use of
atomic energy called by the New
York State Department of Com
merce.
Mr.. Cole said first considera-
ton in atomic matters must al
ways be given to national de-
fense and national security.
But he also stressed the de-
STABILITY Of atomic developments
in the nonweapon f1eld-such as
the 60,000-watt generator plant
recently ordered built by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
1--WE need the broader benefits
from atomic energy which are
too diverse, too closely woven
into the industrial fabric of our
Nation to permit their develop
ment solely at taxpayer expense"
Mr.. Cole said.
But he added that "it isn't
going to be easy" to change
the atomic energy law which for
bids private concerns to own or
use atomic materials. He said
he will sponsor legislation next
year to open the way for pri-

gram. A leasing ARRANGEMENT
might be more satisfactory, he
said.
