The Nations first commercial
supply Of electricity from an
ATOMIC reactor viii be ready for
sale lac this summer.
Atomic Energy Commission Of
ficials confirmed yesterday they
are looking for a buyer for the
power. to be produced at West
Milton. N. Y. The generators
which produce it viii be powered
by land based experimental
copy of an atomic. engine de-
signed for the submarine Sea
Wolf.
The quantity will be COM
paratively small. perhaps enough
to supply a city of 10000 people.
Because the reactor is expert
mental. the Acc said it cannot
guarantee any specific quantity.
Barring a possible slip in
plans, an Acc spokesman said
the power to be produced at
West Milton undoubtedly will
be the first COMMERCIAL electric
power from a nuclear plant"

sit would not affect a Mary
land lawyer who might be max
ing 100000 a year in the Dis
trict, but it would hit the three
or four other lawyers he might
hire on a salary basis"
One possible course for the
committee would be to suggest
an earnings tax which, unlike a
payroll tax. would not be COL
lected at the source.
While District taxpayers might
be permitted to deduct such
payments from their District
income tax payments, Maryland
and Virginia residents working
in Washington could be billed
for their taxes. The bills would
be based on reports made to the
District by their employers.
Could Attach Property.
If the Maryland and Virginia
residents refused to pay, their
automobiles, coats or other
property could be attached while
they were at work in Wash
ington.
Another source of revenue
could be provided by lowering
the starting levels under the Dis
trict income tax. At present the
District charges 21a per cent on
the first $4,000 of taxable income.
If this were lowered to $4,000,
as is common in most States. it
would produce So million more
revenue for the District.
Another tax long urged by Mr..
Martin is one on unincorporated
businesses. such as partnerships
and doctors and lawyers offices.
This has been estimated to yield
as much as SIPS million a year.

Survey Made on Feasibility

Half the $4,000 survey cost

Maryland and Virginia each will
pay a third of the remaining
$500. This is the arrangement
set up in 1913 for a joint study
of area problems by the Metro

braska avenue, Constitution ave.
nue., Reaches Run and Jones
Point.
The Smith firm, in a separate
but current study for the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. recently estimated the
present 217.000 daily Potomac
River crossings might jump to
as many as $4,000 daily trips
by 1870. The report said this
would require "a minimum" OF
IA new bridge lanes.
Study Begun Year Ago.
The beginning Of the toll
study goes back to March OF
last year. Then. the Planning
Commission asked its sister
agency, the National Capital
Regional Planning Council. to
study methods of financing and
distributing costs Of the new
bridges.
Last fall, the council Spon-
sored conferences between the
State and District highway Of
ficials and the Federal Roads
Commissioner. Out of these
meetings grew the toll study.
The original Planning Com
mission action was taken be-
cause of financing problems
which arises with each new
bridge proposal.
The most recent instance was
last year, when Congress author
lied the Jones Point bridge to
be built at Federal expense and
the Constitution avenue span at
District expense. At that time,
several members Of Congress
made it plain they felt Virginia
should play a bigger part in
meeting such project costs.
Arlington Memorial Bridge
was a 100 per cent Federal prof.
ect. But for the most part, Po-
tomac bridges have been paid
for by the District. using its al
located share of Federal aid.
The Smith report on tolls orig
inally was to have been dis
cussed at last weeks's Planning
Commission meeting. Maryland
and Virginia officials, in fact.
were on hand for it. The subject
was stricken from, the agenda,
however, in orders to have the
first presentation made to the
authorities who ordered the
study and will pay for it.

1888 Virginia Study Cited.
The Wilbur Smith firm. in a
1858 Washington area study
for the State of Virginia, took
an extremely dim view of toll
prospects here.
Citing administrative and po-
litical obstacles" the 1858 re-
port said there appeared to be
little hope unless a plan can be
devised whereby tolls could be
imposed on all Of the river cross
ingS." It also said the inter-
jurisdictioral problems would be
so complex they would likely
be unavoidable"
In previous toll discussions, the
problem of imposing tolls on
some spans and leaving others
free and easily available prob
ably has been the most discour-
aging factor.
Some toll proposals affecting
major bridges here. it is felt,
would be certain to raise a storm
of controversy. One argument
likely to be raised. for example.
is whether tourists should have
to pay to get access to the Ma
tons Capital. Any suggestion
of tolls affecting Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge also would be a
red-hot issue.
No Congressional Position.
While Congress might oppose
many toll proposals. one official
said. 1.-THE fact is that Congress
never has taken a position on
the question.
1t was repeatedly for this rea-
son that officials of all the juris-
dictions felt the possibilities
should ut least be explored.
Aside from policy. some Of
f1cials are worried about space
considerations. They question
whether existing spans, partic-
ularly, would have sufficient
space for installation of toll
gates. Two or three lanes of
gate space are needed for each
lane of bridge space, these
officials said.
Others, however, point to the
obvious economic advantages of
toll facilities-if they are &C
ceptable-to help offset costs of
bridges of the future.

Screening Nearly Complete.
In his letter to the President,
Attorney General Brownell re-
vealed that the tremendous job

has almost been accomplished.
He said that the re-examina-
ton of the files of employees sub
ject to a fulfilled investigation

along and can, with dill
gence, be brought to substantial
completion shortly"
Mr.. Brownell pointed out that
then the cases of applicants and
probationary new employees will
be the principal concern of the
security program.
In this connection, some JUS
tice officials are known to feel
that the program will almost
run itself" when the major effort
will be the less controversial task
of keeping undesirables out of
Government employment. They
feel, too, that criticisms of the
program will then all but cease.
The Attorney General advised
the President that the Justice
Department was expanding its
regular conferences of security
officers of the larger agencies so
that all agencies will be repre-
sented.

concluded:
'In cooperation with the Civil

ferences will be utilized to bring
about better coordination of all
agencies and departments in
carrying out more efficiently the
purposes OF Executive Order

The President. in his men,
orandum approving the changes,
asked the Attorney General to
circulate his letter and the pres
idential endorsement to the head
of each Governmental depart
ment and agency.
First reaction from Democratic
critics was that the Attorney
General did not 60 far enough
in his recommendations. Both
Senators Jackson of Washington
and Monroney of Oklahoms
voiced this opinion and said that
a new independent governmental
agency should be created to take

When tractors are operating
near farm buildings these precau-
tions may prevent explosion and
fires that will spread to the barns
and cribs near which the tractor
is operating.
Never refuel a tractor while the
motor is running or extremely hot.
Check fuel lines frequently for
leaky connections.
Store the tractor fuel in an un-
derground tank if possible. IF
gasoline is stored in an overhead
tank, locate the tank at least 40
feet from buildings or combusti-
BILE materials. Overhead tanks
need to be watched for leaks in
the tank itself or in the valves
and hose connections.
Carry gasoline into buildings
only in plainly labelled contain
er or approved safety type and
holding not more than one gallon.
Put kerosene into a container of
different color and shape than the
container used for gasoline.

Some Cotton Must
Be Dry Cleaned

!. 1t is not always desirable to
wash cotton, according to Alma
Tapscott, professor of clothing and
textiles at Ohio State University.
Although it is the most washable
of fibers, dressmaking details of
some fashions, particularly dark
colors for fan and more tailored
garments, make dry cleaning nee
esSary.
This introduces the problem of
colors u5ed on cotton which are
solvent soluble or come out when
the garment is dry cleaned. Some
pinks and reds are notorious for
this characteristic. Usually these
shades are fast to light and wash
ing, but not to dry cleaning.
Since dry cleaning of cotton is
becoming more common, it is i'm
portant that manufacturers use
colorfast dyes. Whenever loss of
color occurs, homemakers should
return this merchandise so that the
lack of colorfastness can be
brought to the attention of the
manufacturer.
