Progress Report on the Atom

The Atomic Energy Commissions nth
Semiannual report to Congress is reasSur-
ing in all particulars. OF course, as far as
the hydrogen bomb and A-weaponS are con-
cerned, 1t displays the agency's character
iStic and necessary reticence, but 1t says
enough to make clear that significant prog
reSS continues In terms of both variety OF
design and volume of production. AS for
norl-military developments, the Aces new
est account Of its stewardship leaves no
room for doubt that the Nation, together
with the world at large, has good reason to
be encouraged by the steady gains being
achieved in the benign uses Of the atom.
In fact, according to the report, the
event of greatest significance to the Aces
program during the past six months was
baSically non-lnilitary In character
namely, adoption by Congress of the Atomic
Energy Act Of 1854 This measure, replac-
ing the outmoded original law Of 1946, has
not altered the agency's paramount objec-
tive, which is ito make the maximum con-
tribution to the common defense and Sc
curity' But it has put added emphasis,
to very large and important degree, on
the development of nuclear energy for be-
neficent purposes. And to promote such
development here at home, 1t has provided
for much wider participation by private
enterprise, and at the same time, to speed
up progress abroad, it has paved the way
for far more international cooperation than
ever before cooperation of sort that can
accomplish wonders with projects like Pres
ident Eisenhower's atoms-f for-peace plan.
One has only to read the Aces latest
report to visualize what some Of these Won
ders can be-tremendous new discoveries in
pure physical research and an abundance
of nuclear energy for industry, for the eco
nomic betterment Of man everywhere, for
immense gains on farms and in cities, for
great victories in the war against disease,
and for numerous other blessings that were
once only wild dreams but are now within
the worlds reach. Given peace, an endur-
ing peace, this promise can be fulfilled in
such a way as to remove all fear about what
the atom can do when it is harnessed for
evil.

ciation in l94S, 1t has been the aim OF
its members not only TO benefit their
own through educational advancement
and unity. but also to be OF some
civic worth to Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties which they represent.
In the past. the latter has been accom-
plished by supporting such drives as
the March of Dimes. Community Chest,
American Red Cross and. individually.
such other drives as the Rotary. Kiwa-
mis-, Lions Optimists and other service
clubs may choose to support.
Now we have come to the realization
that we have miserably failed the laity
of our counties. We, as chiropractors,
are equipped to perform great service
for Others The dentists have free dem
tai examinations, local optometrists
give free eye examinations, the Tuber-
culosis Association free chest X-rays: all
for which they are properly equipped.

Bonn and the Kremlin's Latest

In formally ending the state Of war
between itself and Germany, the Soviet
Union has finally got around to emulating
the example set more than three years ago
by France, Britain and the United States.
The purpose OF the action is obvious: Far
from being move to promote unif1cation
of the partitioned country, 1t is merely
another stroke In the Kremlins stepped-up
propaganda offensive to stampede the free
Germans into defeating ratification Of the
Paris agreements to arm them as sovereign
partners in the Western European Union
and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Chancellor Adenauer's West German
cabinet has been quick to respond to this
latest maneuver with a pointed and thor
oughly realistic statement declaring that
what is needed now are Soviet deeds. not
Just Soviet words. That is to say, the proc
lamation ending the state OF war can mean
nothing unless and until the Kremlin agrees
to genuinely free elections for the whole
of Germany elections that would establish
a single overall government under which
the now divided country would be reunited
In keeping with peace treaty to be me-
gotiated between that government and
Germany's former enemies.
Looked at in any Hight, this position IS
completely reasonable In terms OF both
international law and the plain realities
that require West Germany and the Atlantic
community as whole to work together for
mutual security against the threat Of Red
aggression. still, there are many free Ger
nlans-led by the Social Democrats who
tend to be bernused by the Soviet propa-
ganda, who fear Moscow's threat to keep
their country permanently partitioned If
the Paris accords are approved. and who
therefore favor the idea Of suspending
action on those accords while the Big Four
stage another full-dress conference In an
effort to achieve a German settlement.
This viewpoint. Of course. Is sorely lacking
In realism, but it is none the less widespread,
and the Kremlin's newest move has been
shrewdly timed to bolster it. Accordingly,
the Adenauer government viii need al the
support 1t can get-at home and abrOad--
to insure that the Bonn Parliament win
vote for ratification by D good margin and
without serious delay.

solution to the problem.
Let the symphony offer five monthly

These five concerts, with minimum

Since the orchestra is on yearly con-

market. Prior to this latest offering, the
biggest step In this direction was taken In
early 1858 when 30-year 3A per cent bond
was issued. Long-term bonds generally are
considered to have q defiationary effect, II
the interest rate is relatively high. and the
1888 issue did have that impact. To lesser
degree this latest long-term offering may
have some Of the same effect, but there is
an important difference in the two formulas.
The 1858 bond was open to cash SUBJ
scriptions, and certain amount of invest
ment money-that might otherwise have
gone into mortgages, corporate securities
or other channels-was drawn into the 3A
per cent issue. In the present case. how
ever, no cash subscriptions are invited and
the offering is simply for an exchange Of
Government Indebtedness already outstand-
ing. Furthermore, the 8 per cent rate set
for the 40-year bond Is. to use Treasury
phrase, right on the market" high enough
to command attention but not so high that
it should greatly disturb the current money
market.
This 40-year bond is the longest term
issue Of the Treasury since the offering Of
a 50-year per cent bond in 1911 to help
pay for the building of the Panama Canal.
The British Treasury, incidentally, goes
even further In some of its financing by
issuing ''consols. !" which are interest -bearing
certificates Of permanent Indebtedness. a
device that eliminates the necessity Of any
refinancing for that portion of the public
debt. Interest rates on these have varied
from 2ls per cent to slightly higher.
