Senator Magnuson. Democrat
Of Washington. said today "we're
well on our way toward getting
something started" on: research
for an atomic powered cargo
ship for the United States Mer-
chant Marine.
Senator Magnuson, chairman
Of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, told a reporter "the
Atomic Energy Commission has
conferred with the Maritime
Administration" con cernin g
feasibility Of the project. II
think we're we'll on our way to-
ward getting something started, /"
he added.
The Senator said the CONVEX
sations relate to experiments to
develop a cargo carrying ship,
distinct from the atomic mer-
chant ship President Eisenhower
already has proposed. Senator
Magnuson declined to elaborate.
The Presidents plan for con-
struction of a special vessel to
cruise around the world in a
demonstration of the peaceful
uses of atomic energy has met
criticism from some Senate and
House members. including Mag
nuSon.
Question Practically
They have questioned wheth-
er such a ship would be too
costly to be practicable and
whether it would advance the
time when nuclear powered car
60 ships might be practical.

man Of the House Commerce
Committee. announced yesterday
he Is introducing a bill to au-
thorize construction Of q second
atomic ship, distinct from the
one Mr.. Eisenhower proposed.
Mr.. Bonner said it should be an
economically feasible vessel for
service as cargo carrier.
Senator Magnuson contends
the Maritime Administration al
ready has authority to build such
a ship and would merely have to
ask Congress for enough money
for the project. But he said he
would welcome new legislation or
anything else to get the project
under way.
Similar to Nautilus
DR.. w. Kenneth Davis, direc-
tor of the Aces reactor divi-
sion. told the House committee
at a hearing yesterday that the
atomic ship Mr.. Eisenhower pro-
posed would have a power plant
almost the same as the one al
ready developed for the atomic
submarine Nautilus and would
be "far too costly to build and
operate for merchant ships"
DR.. Davis figured it might take
two years or so to build the
ship Mr.. Eisenhower proposes
and 5 to 10 years to develop a
commercially feasible one.
Commenting on that esti-
mate, Senator Magnuson said,
Whatever time it takes, we
should get started. We can't

Love is indeed a many

worthy of every poets pen,
whether it be the love of the

Whenever I read of some

World.
Mr.. Hatch'S suggestion that
the Salem Settlers should have
learned to live off the land
like the Indians is naive. Even
the best lands are not always
productive, and Massachusetts,
at best was inadequate. The
ory and practice are often
poles apart.
Actually, the Crown wo0Id
not let the Settlers live like
Indians, except where sa-
vagery served some royal pur-
pose! The Indians were Free!
When the crops failed, or the
hunting was poor, or the ele-
ments were unkind, the IN
dians simply took off to other
pastures.
The Salem Settlers were
Prisoners of the Crown, con-
fined to their settlements by
Charter, and commanded to 60
nowhere, except on orders
from England. The Indians
could run away from disaster,
but the Colonists were for
ever chained to it!
Presumably, the Colon
lists were supposed to live
on love when supplies ran
out, and there was no re-
plenishing of stocks. l am
no authority ON colonial
history, but it requires no
Superman to know why
official historians give
the COlonists a Bad Name.
Salem'S First Settlers were
no more "shiftless" or "im-
provident" than any other
Enslaved People anywhere on
