Chamber AdeScores
Federal Development
OF Atomic Power
By the Associafas1 Rrass

A spokesman for the. United
States Chamber of Commerce
told Congress today that private
industry should be allowed to
develop peacetime atomic power
with the Federal Government
remaining out of the field.
Wilson M. Compton, former
president of Washington State
College, also told the Senate
House Atomic Energy Commit
tee that the chamber indorses
proposals now under consldera-
ton to exchange more atomic
weapons and power information
with foreign nations.
In a statement prepared for
committee hearings on an
omnibus atomic energy bill, Mr..
Compton said:
"The production Of electric
power from nuclear fission
should be financed, developed
and operated by private in
dustry.
"The Federal Government
should not enter directly into
commercial exploitation Of the
use Of atomic energy and should
engage in the production of
electric energy only as a by
product in the production" of
plutonium and other atomic raw
materials.
He said the chamber, whose
membership includes 3,10O bus
mess organizations, ''is opti-
mistic about the future appli-
cations Of atomic power to in
dustrial and commercial use."
The committee today opened
its second week Of hearings on
one phase of the bill which
would lower present barriers
against private operation of
atomic facilities.
The congressman have not
yet been told in current hear
ings whether private industry
is ready to finance the multi
million-dollar equipment that
would be necessary.
The Atomic Energy Commis-
sion has authorized conStruc-
tion of the first plant to produce,
electric from atomic energy,
underwriting the project with
Federal Funds.
Mr.. Compton said the cham
ber feels the present near-ban
on sharing atomic information
with allies "is no longer appli-
cable under present conditions"
He suggested that proposed
provisions lifting the ban be
amended to permit emergency
sharing of atomic information
even in the absence of formal
treaties.

Two sisters of the 34-year-old

Hicks denied and was indignant
about published reports she gave
police at the time of the smash
up, still officially listed as an
accident.
Mrs. Hicks told police just af-
ter the crash that the specially
fitted 1850 Lincoln sedan left a
sharp curve on Simms Landing
road near McConchie, roared
across their front lawn and into
the front of a white -shingled
bungalow.
