Blueprint Of Nuc|ear
Ship PropeIIing
Machinery Soon Ready

STOCKHOLM. = The blueprint
of a ship-propelling machinery
powered by an atomic reactor will
be ready this summer at the Foun-
dation for Shipbuilding Research
in Gotenburg, an agency of the
Swedish shipyards. The reactor is
is planned for machinery with
10000 horsepower shaft effect,
and it will use low-content ura-
mum. 1t will be able to function
twenty-one months without re-
plenishing. Ore carriers and tank
ers of up to $4,000 tons with
atompowered machinery are ex-
pected to become common in the
future, and the Swedish yards be-
lieve that if they are not to lose
out in international competition,
they will have to start building
such ships within ten years.
The new material-testing re-
actor which the semipublic Atom
energi Company has decided to put
up south of Stockholm will be
purchased from the United States.
1t will be ready in 1859 and will
then be used for the testing of
materials, especially in connec-
ton with the building, near Vas
teras, west of Stockholm, of a
heat-producing reactor with an
effect of 10000 kilowatt.
The first Swedish heat reactors
will, according to present calcu-
lations. begin operating in about
five years, and this should result
in some reduction in the need of
imported fuels. If it should be
possible to change over to nuclear
power for the heating of homes in
cities of at least 10000 inhabi-
tants. a saving corresponding to
about 100000 tons of oil would
be achieved annually.

the same as for textile imports.
There has also been a marked
shift in the source of supply. While
in 1916 North and South America
accounted for 90.1 per cent of
Sweden's total oil imports, their
share has dropped to 1856 per cent
in 1855. The Near East, either
directly or through refineries in
Western Europe, has sinultane-
ously increased it's share from
80 to 900 per cent. The country's
total consumption has risen so
steeply that in spite of a heavy
expansion of the domestic refin-
ing industry only just under quar-
ter of total imports are refined in
Sweden.

Letters To Editor
Your Duty To

Editor. The Herald:
Until political greatness and Wis
dom meet in one, cities will never
have rest from their evils. no. nor
the human race" Socrates once
said.
The importance of voting today
far exceeds its Importance in other,
less critical days. Why have we
come to believe that democracy is
free ride without the need of earn
ing our way. Probably the great
est single cause for delinquency in
citizenship can be traced to our de-
Ginning sense of responsibility in
the fome, the school. and the COM
munity in which we live.
Over 1000 years ago. Socrates re-
minded lis of our need of leaders
who can weld political power. and
at the same time contribute to the
happiness Of their fellowmen.
Today, the program of the Re
publican administration is as lib
eral'' as the Democratic Fair Deal
This neutralizes the political char
acser and effectiveness of Republi.
cans and organizations who oppose
the liberal movement.
The tragedy is that we cannot
turn Our social. economic and po-
litical problems around for each
other to see all sides. at a time
when We are haunted by doubts
and Questions about social prob
LENS and tile possibility of atomic
war and trying to decide what
course to take If We expect to find
the right answers to the grave
problems We face today. we must
give our minds a chance by ex-
posing them to all valid points.
Indifference is absurd and dan
gerous We will have gone a long
way toward curing our confusion if
each Of us viii pause moment to
consider what makes our way Of
life work. Like many others to-
day. the ultimate responsibility lies
not with the government, but with
you and me assuming our RESPONSE
bility to,eour community. state, and
opr country Above all. We need to
realize that We must assume our
responsibilities and dedicate our
hearts, minds and spirits to the
search for truth. We need to realize
that material freedom and true de.
mocracy can only come when minds
are free to seek the truth.
Democracy is not just a free

and apparently slowed up attacks on
American patrol aircraft.
However, this was no reason to let patrol
planes fly near the Chinese coast without
adequate fighter protection once again.
Certainly events in the last five years
prove our patrol planes may need this pro-
lection on very short notice in a sudden
emergency.
Fighter planes can't penetrate all the
areas in which long range patrols operate.
However, they can cover a patrol craft only
100 miles north of Formosa, where the
latest incident occurred and we wonder
why the big Navy plane with the sixteen
occupants was not under escort, if admit
teddy it was only 80 miles off the China
coast. Someone in the military should pro-
vide an answer to that question.

This is not the first time the Communists
have shot down an American patrol plane
and killed the occupants. Although it is
the first time in recent months, it would
seem there was not much excuse for the
loss of life in this incident.
After several similar incidents in this

MANY CAR MANUFACTURERS are al
ready switching over to 1867 models.
One line of 1857 models is already rolling
off the production lines, and possibly
others.
SO much has been written about the
revolutionary changes in 1857 models that
some prospective buyers of 1857 auto
mobiles may be disappointed with the new
cars. Changes are certainly greater than
in 1856. though two widely rumored
changes are not to be adopted by all manu-
facturers
For example, the widely-expected four
teen-inch wheel will not be found on many
1878 models 1t is reported that Buick,
Studebaker, Rambler. and the more ex-
pensive Cadillac, Lincoln, and Continental,
will not follow the trend toward smaller
wheels. Also, fuel injection. which was

your time wisely. Get all you can out of it.
Actually your time is what concerns you
Time does not die and fade away-time is
infinity, But YOU and die and pass from
the scene
So our portion Of time is priceless
possession. 1t is the one thing you can't
increase in this life. You only have as much
tomorrow as you had today. That's pretty
good argument to do something worthwhile
today. It's worth thought.

But think about it for minute. What

and never return--and your supply of

If time is your most priceless possession,
it stands to reason that you should use
the always shortening supply of it we'll. A
presidential candidate used good phrase
the other month in speech. He spoke of

description. The minute or hour once gone,
