Cost Of Atom Age
The atomic age" for world In
dustry is feasible but at costs
comparable only with the
amounts spent in major wars.
This was stressed before The
association TO-DAY by DR.. Walker
L. Cisler. president of the De-
troit Edison Co., one Of the ma
jor industrial developers in this
country. From broad view
point, he pointed out, fission OF
the atom promises a relatively
cheap easily transportable source
of power which could be used
to make the most of undeveloped
parts of the world now handi-
capped by lack o. power.
But this, he emphasized, is
only part of the picture. There
is involved that much more ex-
pensive job of building plants
and machinery to be operated by
the new power.
In round figures" he said.
I'VE might regard an atomic
power plant producing 100000
kilowatts of electricity as costing
SIS million. We know from ex-
perience that to put TO use thai
amount of power we must spend
from 4 to : ) times as much for
the equipment. the motors, the
distribution systems.
Economic Puzzle
1.-THE economics Of the transit
ton Of some of the leS7 developed
areas into the atomic age be-
come puzzling. indeed, when we
realize it can cost up to a third
of a billion to establish 100000
kilowatt plant and make use of
the power. Thus we can see that
the dream of worldwide plenty
through the use of atomic power
is distant vision.
Meanwhile, he said, some o.
the most hampering technical
problems involved in the actual
use of atomic energy are being
solved. A major difficulty from
the first has been that of getting
rid Of excess heat in an atomic
reactor. This heat otherwise
would soon rise to the point
where it would melt the reactor
itself.
But, he said, by extremely
complex physical calculations it
now has been possible to design
core for one type of atomic
furnace which will expand in
such a way as to stop the chain

rises 70 a certain danger point

Senators Charge Reds
Paid Motusow to Lie
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON

"SteW art Alsop," the Subcom-
mittee report stated, was Sc.
llected by the Communist con-
spirators as the man to break
the story of the forthcoming
book.
"Alsop announced the publ
cation of False Witness IN his
nationally syndicated column or
January %. He described tnt
book as Inherently credible, and
added that legal lying by such
professional ex-CommuniSt in
formers a. Matusow has beer
tolerated by all three branches
of the American Government.
In writing his astonishing con-
fession, Matusow may more thar
compensate for the harm he has
done"
! Senator Eastland said in re-
leasing me report:
THE subcommittee has every
reason to believe that Matusov
had been telling the truth ip hi
testimony all along until he fel
into the hands of Communist
last October $3.50 and. for sc
pieces of silver-that is, for q
little money and notoriety-be-
trayed his own country TO The
Communist conspiracy"
The Eastland group refused to
believe Matusow's statements
that he was telling the truth and
relieving his conscience by re-
pudiating his earlier testimony
against 244 persons.
Publications of the book, the
Senators said, was an "audacious
attempt TO throw a monkey
wrench into the machinery OF
the Department of Justice in
Communist cases."
Tricks Of Dodging"
The report said that when
Matusow appeared at last spring:
hearing to defend his new story
he employed tricks of lodging
side stepping. bluffing, evadine
and failure of memory hi,
agility at evading the truth was
amazing"
| 1t was clear beyond any
doubt" the report said, thai
Matusow had told the truth
when he testified against the
244 people, and that his repudi.
alton was "a lie."
The Matusow turnabout. tn,

scheme concocted by Albert E
Kahn, co-owner of a New York

December. The latter view seemed
to be the most favored one.
Meanwhile, Pope Plus submitted
to special treatment at the hands
of DR.. Paul Niehans, the Swiss
specialist who attended him after
his relapse of December 2 last. The
treatment had seemingly helped
when first employed.
The Pope was reported to have
gained ground and to be able to
move around and spend several
hours daily at his desk. However,
informed persons say he appears
to be impatient over his slow rate
OF recovery. They state that the
Holy Father is anxious to work
more intensely than he is permit
ed at present.
II is reported that the Ponfiff
is planning TO deliver in person
his annual message TO fhe Lenten
preachers of Rome. This will not
take place for a couple of weeks.
The delay would be explained by
the Holy Fathers desire to &C.

appeared at the window to bless
several thousand people gathered
in the square. He remained at the
window two minutes. His voice was

the square were French doctors
and tourists from the United States,
