Smokes. At Oak Ridge, site of
the A-bomb development, there
is an engrossing display telling
the story of the atom. It is called
the American Museum of Atomic
Energy and is operated by, the
Atomic Energy Commission as a
service to the public. The mu-
scum, which has become one of
Tennessee'S most popular attrac-
tons, shows peacetime applica-
tons of atomic energy: movies
of the A-bomb tests. scale model
of a uranium mine, and other
aspects of the atomic age.
In Southeastern Tennessee.
Chattanooga is made attractive
to visitors primarily by the ring
of surrounding mountains and
by the visible flavor of Civil War
history.
Chickamauga and Chattanoo-
ga National Military Park is the
oldest and largest-and by all
means one of the most worth
visiting-of national military
park areas.
It is a striking sight in driv-
ing up Lookout Mountain to
view the gun emplacements
exactly as they were many years
ago.
RoiIwoy to Top
The most direct route to the
top of Lookout Mountain is not
by car, but by incline railway.
The incline track ascends the
face of the mountain for nine
tenths of a mile and at one
point the grade is 70 degrees,
steepest of any passenger in
cline in the world. At the top
OF the mountain, at such attrac-
tions as Rock City Gardens, there
is rich floral growth from spring
through fall, with expanses of
wild flowers and shrubs directly
up the mountain edge.
A high point in the new travel
story of Tennessee is the develop
ment of recreational resources
of the. IVA. Thought of more
in terms of hydroelectric power
and irrigation, the lands and
lakes of the IVA are among the
finest Fairgrounds of the East.
There are 10000 miles of water
front around iva lakes and no
less than II State parks-in-
Guiding seven in Tennessee.
One of these, Paris Landing
State Park, displays a new hotel
so modern in design it is called
"The Little Shamrock" Ac-
commodations here overlook the
lake and surrounding hills, with
twin-bedded rooms at So. 1.-THE
price is so moderate for the ac-
commodations in this area" one
tourist official said recently "that
persons making inquiries just
don't believe it possible"
There are many other tourist
developments associated with the
IVA. Fontana Village, high in
the Smokes on the Tennessee
Carolina border, is one Of the
most widely known. The iva
lakes generally are gaining a
reputation for fishing and boat
ing.

HAZARD, KY, Oct. 27.-Ii
handshaking and fervent speech
making can win elections, Re-
publican Senator John Sherman
Cooper stands a chance of being
returned to the Senate by Ken
lucky voters next Tuesday.
The 53-year-old Republican,
making his fourth Senate cam
paign In eight years, is conduct
ing a personal sort of campaign
here against the veteran Alben
w. Barkley.
Whether it will pay off or not
remains to be seen. But the
serious-minded Senator Cooper
believes he has made more
speeches and has shaken more
hands than any other candidate
who ever ran for the Senate.
Riding from one county seat
to another in this coal produc-
ing area, Senator Cooper said.
"I've made 100 speeches, and
only the Lord knows how many
persons I've shaken hands with" &"
Two Refuse Him.
The Senator grinned and
added:
"Only two persons have re-
fused to shake hands with me.
One told me he'd just got a
grass-cutting job with the Dem
'ocratic State Highway Depart
ment, and was scared to death. "
Senator Cooper, in this drive
through Eastern Kentucky. as
he has done elsewhere, has been
preaching the evangelism of the
Eisenhower administration and
what it has done to bring peace
in the world.
Down here where unemploy-
ment in the coal fields is high,
he is also defending the Eisen-
hover domestic policies and
contending with all the fervor
at his command. asking: who
would change today for two
years ago and Korea?"
Senator Cooper is unabashed
by Mr.. Barkley's charges that
he has taken a mortgage on
President Eisenhower's coat
tails and is trying to ride back
into Office on them.
He keeps on talking about
peace, about what the Eisen-
hover administration is doing
to bring about a sound pros
perity ungeared to war. and
what he, Senator Cooper, has
done for Kentucky.
Coal Problem.
The coal problem is one thing
he is hitting hard in this part
Of the State. He stresses his
efforts and those of the Eisen-
hover administration to find
new markets for coal. He adds
that Mr.. Barkley is now ad-
vocating a national coal policy
but did nothing about it in 40
years in Congress.
With his well-known hardness,
Senator Cooper was behind
schedule at most of his speaking
places during the day. But
crowds ranging from 200 to 500
were on hand to hear him. and
