comes forward this week in
a speech before the infant
American Nucfear Society to
issue what he calls "a third
round of proposals" in another
effort to get private industry
to participate more widely in
the peacetime atomic power
program. He offered all sorts
OF new inducements, some at
taxpayers expense, and with
plenty of time. There is no
early time limit, as before.
Construction would have to be
completed by June 30, 1862,
nearly six years hence.
The specifications mean
nothing to a layman, but what
he said next does, to wit:
"The commission would give
industry the first opportunity
to undertake the construction
OF the power reactors. How

specified types within q reason
able period of time. the COM
mission would take prompt
and positive steps to build
these reactors on its own
initiative"
So the Government would
build them after all, as Sena-
tor Gore was proposing sew
eral months ago, if private i'm
dustry does not come through.
1t should come through, with
all the special inducements the
chairman offers-but past ex-
perience does not guarantee
that. Industry can go on
strike and hold out for more
Just as labor does--we learned
that in the Second World War
and since.
1t ell inspires some philos-
ophizing--to the effect that we
are likely to wake up some
years hence and find the pro-
duction of atomic power con-
trolled by a few big corpora
tions, a monopoly encouraged
and fostered by our Govern
ment. supposed to represent
us, and financed in large part
by our money. our taxpayer
money. Already, you know,
the Government has spent $14
billion Of our taxpayer money
in developing atomic energy,
including the bomb. So it all
really belongs to us-but you
can be sure we'll lose it.
We should have had our eyes
opened with our experience
with the private electric utili-
ties which we finally had to
move in upon and try to regu-
late during the 1930S after
their speculative spree which
cost investors and consumers
so heavily. This time, with
this new source Of power, we
had a chance to start fresh
and develop it with proper
safeguards. But we seem never
to learn. The giants of our
industrial hierarchy are getting
their clutches on the politi-
clans again. just as happened
in the case of the private
electric and gas utilities.

THOMAS |. STOKES

Elections do bring some re-
suits.
This particular story takes
us back to the waning days
of the last session of Congress,
back in July. Senator Albert
Gore, Democrat of Tennessee,
got his bill through the Senate
over the opposition of the
Eisenhower administration-to
authorize the Atomic Energy
Commission to build three
prototype reactors for pro-
duction of atomic power at
Acc installations.
The Tennessee Senator had
initiated this Government
project because of the tagging
development of atomic power
for peacetime uses. Great
Britain and Russia were forg-
ing ahead of us. Two years
previously, in the 1854 Atomic
Energy Act, Congress had
granted all sorts of concessions
to private enterprise to get
them to participate, comforting
upon private industry what
Senator Gore called a "mon-
nopoly." In a Senate speech
this last March, the Tennes-
sean said that despite these
concessions. mot one license
has been granted, not one con-
struction permit has been
issued. and none is in i'm
mediate prospect"
That's why he pushed his
bill for Government construc-
ton of reactors which, he said,
could develop the best methods
OF producing atomic power and
thus facilitate the effective
and early entrance of private
enterprise into the field"
His bill barely skinned
through the Senate, with Re-
publicans voting solidly against
it. The private electric COM
panies got busy through their
lobby here. So did the Essen
hover administration. The
bill then died in the House.
Now we come to the cam

founded. The internal situa-
ton in the USSR and particu-
larry among its satellites is
such that the men in the
Kremlin may not hesitate to
plunge the world into another
war to save their own necks.
Despite the difficulties of
obtaining positive intelligence
from the Soviet republics, suf-
f1cient information has come
to the outside world to point
out the increasing difficulties
of the Russian leaders.
Reliable intelligence is avail
able from the satellite coun-
tries, where the number of
people willing to talk is in
creasing steadily. Much in
formation from the southeast
ern part of the Soviet empire
seeps through into Turkey and
Iran. And this dovetails in
showing that the rule of the
Kremlin has become brittle.
This does not mean, however,
according to civilizations Of our
military. that the military
potential of the USSR has
diminished in any way.

VIENNA - NC)-A commun-

clamped down on recent student
demands in that country for more
academi" freedom. There will be
more widespread teaching of the
doctrines of Marx and Lenin in
stead.
1t was learned here that Fran
tisek Kahuda, CZechoslovakia' s
Minister of Education, had told
university teachers they will be
expected to "win over" students
who have strayed from commun.
ist doctrines. The Czechoslovak
officials outline of stricter ed
ucation policy is reported to have
appeared in literary magazine
in CZechoslovakia.
The students staged a demon
stration recently demanding a
decrease in the teaching of Marx
ism and Leninism in the univer-
sites, an independent press, and
the right of political parties to
work without interference by the
Reds.

Catholic Men
Enter Politics

NOIRE DAME, Ind. - (NC)-
The time has come for young, in
telligent, representative Catholic
men ito show the real power of
our Faith for dedicated public
service" and good government,
Bishop John King Mussio Of Steu-
benville, Ohio, has declared.
At the same time, the pre-.
late criticized severely chose
Catholic in name who have ex.
plotted the field of political
service for their own profit
and advantage"
1T is imperative, thtn, that ex-
emplary Catholic young men of
exceptional intellectual and spir-
itual qualities aspire to the work
of the politician" Bishop Mussio
said. Their training in Christian
morality, in the Catholic phiIoso-
ply of government equips them,
in a very special manner, to full
fill the duties of political office.
Service to people is fulfilled in a
right sense only by those who
have a deep sense of their re-
sponsibility to the common good" "
Scoring the corrupt Catholic
politician" Bishop Mussio de-
clared: 'In the true sense of the
words, he is neither Catholic nor
a politician. Speaking bluntly, he
is cheap crook who uses the
Faith as another "gimmick" to
help him get into the lush field
of easy pickings. He is what he
is precisely because he is not a
real Catholic nor a true public
servant"
