Cole Cites Benefits
OF Atomic Medicine
By The As.oeio,ed Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. I3.-Rep-
resentative w. Sterling Cole, Re-
publican of New York, says the
time lis rapidly nearing when
medical applications Of the atom
will annually save more lives
than were lost in the combined
bombings of Hiroshima and Mag
aSaki.'
Mr.. Cole. outgoing chairman
of the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Atomic Energy. said
yesterday that as p diagnostic
tool atomic energy t'already has
proved the greatest boon to
medicine since the invention of
the microscope 500 years ago."
The list of medical applica-
tions of the atom already is "iIn-
pressive," Mr.. Cole said, naming
the Brookhaven National Lab
oratory in Upton, N. r.. as a
place where encouraging work
Is now underway in treating cam
Ger Of the brain through atomic
radiation" s
Mr.. Cole told a session of the
New York City Board of Educa-
tion's course for science educa-
tion teachers that atomic energy
can also bring power to the eco
nonically UNDER developed ma
tions "at a fraction of the cost
Of conventionally derived elec-
tricity."

he could rewrite the script in
any way he saw fit. For yes

Mr.. Mumford and Joseph
Blickensderfer. another Library

round table discussion.
After the broadcast. Mr..
Mumford said. I'VE had q very
amicable day."
Mr.. Smith conceded that may
be Censorship" had been too
strong a word to use in his
original blast. He said maybe
what really bothered him had
been "the putting Of ideas into
"a mans head"
He indicated that the Library
might change its ways In the

after this. Mr.. Mumford said.
however, that he foresaw no
such change.

Very Good Year for
Aggressive Retailers

NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-Phiiip
M. Talbot of Washington. new
president Of the National Retail
Dry Goods Association. believes
1855 will be "a very good year"
for merchants who sell aggres-
sively and keep their stores up
to-date.
Sure it will be good year z
Mr.. Talbot said after his elec-
ton yesterday as head Of the
organization
Sales should be up az to 81
per cent overall. But retailers
will have to get out and really
promote. They'll have TO keep
their physical facilities very
modern - and that goes for
downtown stores as well as for
suburban shopping centers.
No Stand on Fair Trade.
Mr.. Talbot. vice president Of
the Woodward 81 Lothrop de-
partment store. insisted In an
interview that the NRDGA has
taken no official stand on fair
trade. But he declared he has
"a great deal of confidence in
the associations Vendor Rela-
tions Committee, which last year
denounced discount merchants
as "'bootleggers."
Irwin d. Wolf of Kaufman
Department Stores and Pitts.
burgh chairman of the NRDGA's
Executive Committee, chimed In
to say that there are all kinds
of discount houses. The discount
house is legitimate in many
States, so you couldn't call them
bootleggers there. but there are
places where they have engaged
In shady and nefarious prac-
tees"
Retailers should oppose dis
counters wherever it can be
done legally, /" he added.
Opposes Halfway Measure"
The discount house problem
was spotlighted elsewhere at the
four-day NRDGA convention.
Craig Shaeffer, chairman of
Sheaffer Pen Co. told an after
noon session that national brand
manufacturers and retailers who
want to do business on a fair
trade basis must fight discount
selling without compromise Of
any kind" Fair trading, he said,
cannot be a halfway measure"
William I. Ellison, general
merchandise manager of Hoch-
schild, Kohn & CO., Baltimore.
Md, urged retailers to take a
new look" at traded, nation
ally advertised. brand name"
products.
National brands will continue
