Strauss Sees Atom
Changing Way ofLife
Within Few Years

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Lewis
L. Strauss, chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, pre-
diets that industry will have
electrical power from atomic
furnaces in five to Is years.
"Our children will enjoy in
their homes electrical energy too
cheap to meter" he adds.
This time scale can be short
ened if research is pushed suf-
flciently, he said last night in
addressing the National Associ-
alton of Science Writers.
Great Things Envisioned.
Discussing the Nations So bill
lion atomic program, he said:
'Transmutation of the ele-
ments. unlimited power. ability
to investigate the workings of
living cells by tracer atoms, the
secret of photosynthesis about
to be uncovered, these and a host
of other results, all in Is short
years.
"It is not too much to expect
that our children will know of
great periodic regional famines
in the world only as matters of
history, will travel effortlessly
over the seas and under them
and through the air with a mini
mum of danger and at great
speeds, and will experience a life
span for longer than ours. as
disease yields and man comes to
understand what causes him to
age"
Mr.. Strauss said public pre-
occupation with wartime rather
than peacetime uses. of atomic
energy makes the United States
in easier target for Soviet propa-
ganda.
Emphasis on Peace.
He urged the science writer's
to help the public understand
that the Acc conducts peace
able as well as military research,
and that it is not true that the
Acc is stubbornly holding Sc
cret a lot of information that
could be divulged. He drew at
tention to voluminous publica-
tion of unclassified material from
AFC-approved scientists.

peaceable applications of atomic

Stoy-ot-Honne Voters Hold Kew
The Sit-t-Out Vote Is Much More Vexine Problem
For the Republicans Thon for the Demoerots
Duvid Lawrence

Names election figures show
that, whereas the total vote for
members of Congress this year
was approximately the same as
two years ago. the stay-at-
home vote is still much more
OF a Republican than a Demo.
cratic problem in America.
Only 64.2 per cent of the en-
tire population of the United
States above 81 years of age
voted in the presidential elec-
tion two years ago, which
means that for the Nation as a
whole there are more than 25
million persons eligible to vote
who didn't do so. This huge
stay-at-home vote can play
vital part in the outcome of the
congressional elections in No.
vember.
1t is even more perplexing
that millions of persons who
vote for President do not vote
for members of Congress.
Thus. there were $4,000 Re-
publican votes in Maine for
Dwight Eisenhower which were
not cast this time for Senator
Margaret Chase Smith, who
has just been reelected and
who has been one of the ia
vorite Eisenhower Republicans
in CongresS-a liberal in the
modern sense and severe
critic of Senator Mccarthy.
Mrs. Smith indeed got 49,
900 fewer Republican votes
than she won in 1948. yet the
Democratic nominee for Sen
ator increased the Democratic
vote from $4,000 in 1948 to
100000 in 1854. The defeated
Democratic nominee thus
gained $4,000 votes over 1948
as his opponent was losing 49,
900 Republican votes. In fact,
the Democratic vote of 100000
for Senator this time was only
$1,000 behind the Stevenson
vote of 10000 in. 1852. The
closing of this gap shows that
the Democrats made substan-
tial inroads into the presi-
Dental voters who didn't vote
for members of Congress in
1852, while the Republicans in

ne Democrats

Maine have scarcely made a
dent in the group Of Repub-
licans who voted for Ike but
didn't vote for a Senator two
years ago.
Why do voters stay at home?
Some of them are discouraged
by what they see as similar
ity between the two major
parties. What difference does
it make. asks many a Repub-
lican conservative. whether we
have Republican New Dealers
or Democratic New Dealers in
Congress?
Likewise. the man whose
economic situation is satisfac-
tory and who has no grievances
is likely to forget that many
another voter who has griev-
ances will vote in protest to
remove from power the ad-
ministration or party which
may have been at least partly
responsible for some of the
economic contentment of the
man who doesn't vote. So the
stay-at-home citizen, by his
indifference, may be voting
actually to put out Of Office
the very party that he wants
to see stay in.
This is a task for organiza-
ton at the precinct level. It
will do no good for the Re-
publican workers, for example,
to spend too much time trying
to convert those farmers who
are rebellious this year. They
might better concentrate on
those farmers whose incomes
are good but who haven't been
voting for members of Con-
gress at all. Similarly. for ev-
cry unemployed citizen who
votes in protest. the Republi-
cans have to get at least two
Republican stay-at-homes of
1852 who have jobs and are
satisfied with the administra-
tion's record.
1t is not the vote that
switches back and forth, there

OF World Churches
BY ths Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 15.-At
least 16 delegates from Com
muniSt countries will be admitted
to the United States to attend
the Assembly Of the World Coun-
Gil Of Churches at Evanston, H..
August Is to 81.
The Governments plan to adj
NIT at least 16-and perhaps as
many as 20-delegates from Iron
Curtain nations became known
yesterday.
Council officials said, however,
they had no information that the
Government had made a de-
ciSion on delegates from behind
the Iron Curtain.
A spokesman for the State De-
partment said in Washington
that visaS have been issued "a
number" Of Iron Curtain church
delegates by United States con-
suls abroad, and the cases Of sew
eral others still are under study.
Some churchmen of Western
European countries previously
had expressed concern that dele
gates from behind the Iron Cur
tain might be barred from the
assembly at Evanston, the first
gathering Of the World Council
of Churches to be held in this
country.
The State Department spokes-
man said visas for delegates from
Poland, Hungary, Eastern Ger
many and YugoSlavia were still
being considered. He did not
mention the six Czechoslovak
delegates, and this suggested
that visas already had been is
sued to them.
There are five Hungarian del
egates. Two have been named
in Poland and six or seven in
Eastern Germany. The three
Yugos1av delegates were not
counted among the score sched-
uled to represent Iron Curtain
countries.
