directed picture Of 1855, giving
him an inside track to an acad-

in little more than clearer real
ization of the difficulties.
Complicated Process
Before the fusion reaction in
which energy is released can
take place. the report points out
1t Is necessary to heat some nu-
clear material such as plutonium
to a temperature Of several hun.
dred million degrees, essentially
that of the interior of the sun
The only way this could be done
is through the energy of atomic
flssion. The great hurdle is to
get enough energy out of the fu-
sion process to pay for the enor-
nous amount required to pro-
duce the heat.
Many years Of intensive the
and experimental effort
will be required before the first
prototype of an operating ther-
machine Is devel-
oped." the report says.
Even more remote, the report
indicates, is the possibility OF
using the newly discovered anti
proton. or negatron. to produce
power either harnessed or for
uncontrolled destruction. Theo-
retically were one of these
negatrons brought in contact
with a protron or neutron-the
fundamental units of the nuclei
of al atoms known to exist in
the solar system the result
would be instantaneous and COM

Events leading up to the mid
night walkout this time offered
no promise of early agreement
on a new contract which caused
it. Representatives of both the
company and the transport
workers union left a last ditch
meeting at City Hall last night
saying the claims of the other
were unjustified.
The union was asking IS cents
an hour more for its 1000 driv-
,ers and maintenance workers
whose base pay was $3.50 under
the contract which expired Sat-
'urday. 1t also asked for other
improvements in its working
conditions and better pensions.
Arbitration Declined
The company, which called in
former Judge 10 90 us negO-
tiating last week after rejecting
union proposals to arbitrate,
never made a public counter
offer.
Mayor Thomas d'Alesandro
hammered at both sides to put
off the strike until they said

ParIeys Begin
Between Eden
And President
Agreement Sought
On Methods of
Maintaining Peace
By JAMES E. ROPER

British Prime Minister Sir An
thony Eden and President Eisen-
hover today opened a series of
conferences aimed at solidifying
Anglo-American friendship and
maintaining world peace, espe-
cially in the Middle East.
Sir Anthony, upon arriving at
National Airport today, declared !:
i am quite sure that we can
make serious and positive con-
tribution to peace by understand
ing between ourselves"
Secretary of State Dulles. in
greeting Sir Anthony, said he
too, was confident that the meet
ing will lead to making both
freedom and a just peace more
secure"
Sir Anthony and British For
eign Minister Selwyn Lloyd
reached New York this morning
aboard the Queen Elizabeth.
After shipboard ceremonies. they
flew to Washington aboard Mr..
Eisenhower"s plane, the Column
bine III. They arrived at the
Military Air Transport Terminal
at National Airport at 11:l8 am.
today
Lunch at White House
Sir Anthony and Mr.. Lloyd
went to Blair House and then to
the White House for a luncheon
with Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr.
Dulles. This was the first of the
working conferences which will
continue for three days.
Mr.. Dulles, senior diplomats
stationed in Washington, and
Ambassadors from the British
Commonwealth greeted Sir An
thony and Mr.. Lloyd. A drizzling
rain failed to spoil the cere-
monies.
A Marine detachment marched
to planeside bearing the Stars
and Stripes and the Union Jack.
Mr.. Dulles and Sir Anthony,
their faces flecked with rain
drops, smiled broadly as they
went through their handshaking
ceremonies.
In welcoming the British
party, Mr.. Dulles recalled that
Mr.. Eisenhower and himself
were guests of the then Brit
ish Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and Sir Anthony, then
Foreign Secretary, in 1914, at
a time when, through an ex-I
ample of almost unprecedented
courage, the island of the United
Kingdom had been held as a .
base from which the forces Of
despotism had been rolled back. ~
Background of Friendship
"We meet here" Mr.. Dulles
continued. with a background
a tradition-of having worked
together for freedom and for a
just peace and the talks which
will begin in few minutes now
will proceed from that premise
and, I am confident, will lead to

BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-The

These researches at the Uni

says. that the anti-proton does
not exist in nature-at least In

that the anti-proton is stable SO

industrial and military power
Four types of reactors now are
under construction and three are
expected to be completed this

The Commerce Department re-
ports that the Nations personal
income remained stable in Feb

The annual rate in February
was about SIS billion higher
than the average in the final
three months Of 1855. and ii
was $40 billion higher than the
income flow to the public in
February, 1855.
The report said wage ano
