To date six have been signed
into law by the Governor, % have
been killed by House action of
one kind or another, and SO arc
in the Senate for their concur
renee. One House bill was killed
in the Senate. This leaves over
four hundred House bills, plus
whatever Senate bills survive, to
be considered in the next 80
days or so.

Education committee especially
IN -aresting and I hope that I

Recreation Leader
Annual Banquet
Speaker Here

Williston Recreation Director,
Charles Stone, gave a very in
formative address at the Sidney
Recreation Annual Banquet. His
address covered the recreational
activities sponsored by the Willis
ton Recreation Department and
the organization setup of the de-
partment. Their Recreation Board
is appointed by the School Board
which also levies the tax for the
support Of the department.
II functions comparatively with
the city and school in its pro-
gram. A great deal of the activi-
ties normally sponsored by the
schools is under the operation of
the. Recreation Department. Mr..
Stone said that he operates on the
thesis that a recreation depart
ment shall provide leisure time
activity for all. He emphasized
that his department was not re-
.spr nsigle for The reduction cf
delinquency as many people think
it should be, although he though
that good recreation is one Of the
many things that would help re-
ducc delinquency.
The Williston Recreation De-
partment has a very vigorous
program 20 offer the citizens q
that city.
In addition to this address, re-
ports were given by Milton An
derson, Ed Thogerson and Rich
ARD Buehler. Mr.. Buehler ex-
planned the organization of the
Sidney Recreation Department
and how it differed from the
Williston department, and how
it was necessary to have a CO.
operative effort of every organ
ization in Sidney in sponsoring
activities. Because of the lack Of
financial ability to support a
complete program, the city spon-
sors only those activities for
which it has the money and
leadership.

Great Britain is scheduled to

a brdeeder reactor in 1858. The

Spokesman for the PRDC.
Which is a non-profit corpora
ton formed by 81 companies
including Detroit-Edison Co.,
pointed out that the hearing
is concerned only with the con-
tinuation of permit to con-
struct its plant and not over a
license to own. use or operate a
nuclear reactor. The question
of a license will come up in 1860
when the $43.5 million plant is
ready.
Special Staff Set Up
The unions will not present
their testimony until some time
IN February. They will have 10
days now to object to points in
the PRDC presentation and then
Examiner Kyle will hold oral ar
guments and make his rulings
another 10 days later.
The Acc has set up a special
staff for the hearing and will
present direct evidence on it's
own and ross-examine witnesses
from both the company and the
unions.
Union attorneys told reporters
today that their only objection
is on the matter of safety and
called suggestions that the unions
were trying to build a case for
new pay rises or a special "haz-
ardous" pay utterly ridiculous.

the Judiciary Committee. These
have attracted more than ordi-
nary attention because of the
prospective fight over civil rights
legislation in this Congress.
Senator's in each party on both
sides of the civil rights question
have applied for the committee.
However. Senator Hruska. Re-
publican of Nebraska appears to
be a possibility on the G. o. P.
side, while Senator Erwin, Demo-
crat of North Carolina, a former
State Supreme Court judge, may
win the Democratic seat.
Others Interested
Others repeatedly interested in
this committee include Senators
Clifford Case. Republican of New
Jersey; Javits, Republican of
New York: Talmadge. Democrat
of Georgia, and Carroll, Demo-
crat of Colorado, but the last
three-all elected last November
6-appear to have little chance
because of seniority.
The Republicans also have a
vacancy on the Finance Commit
tee. This seems likely to go
to Senator Jenner, Republican
of Indiana. Senators Kuchel,
Republican of California, Cotton,
Republican of New Hampshire,
and Curtis, Republican of Ne
braska, also are seeking it.
There are two G. o. P. OPEN
ings on the Armed Services
Committee. Senator Kuchel
might get one of these: Clifford
Case also repeatedly is interested
in one.
Considerable interest also CEN
tiers on the assignments that
will be found for the two new
Republican Senators from Ken
lucky, Cooper and Morton. Both
are foreign affairs experts. but
there is no Republican vacancy
on this group.

The biennial scramble for
committee assignments is on in
the Senate with Senators Ke-

and Pastore. Democrat of Rhode
Island, apparently in line for
two choice openings.
Senator Kefauver, appears
likely to achieve his long defer

on the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, replacing the vet
eran former Senator George,
Democrat of Georgia.
There had been a report that
Senator Holland. Democrat of
Florida, who has more seniority,
that the Tennesseean, might
seek Foreign Relations. But an
aide to Senator Holland said
today that the Florida Senator
was well satisfied with his places
on Appropriations and Agricul-
ture. Each Senator can be on
only two major Senate COM
'mittees.
Senator Pastore seems to be
in line for the seat on the DOW

tor Clements, Democrat of Ken.

Gore May Achieve Goal
If the Rhode Island Senator
gets this post. Senator Gore,
Democrat of Tennessee may win
his long sought goal of member
ship on the Finance Committee.
Senator Pastore also has ex-
pressed an interest in this and
outranks Senator Gore in senior
lily; but he would not get both
Finance and Appropriations.
Senator Georges departure
also creates the vacancy on FL

The issue in the case is wheth-
err the Power Reactor Co. a
Michigan corporation, should be
permitted to continue construc-
ton of the first commercial
breeder-type nuclear power re-
actor in the United States at
Laguna Beach. Mich.
Undue Danger Charged
Three labor unions, the United
Auto Workers, United Paper
Workers and the International
Union of Electrical Workers are
contending that the PRDC is
not able to build the reactor
without undue danger to the
health and safety of a densely
populated area. Lagoona Beach
is about 35 miles from Detroit
on the shores of Lake Erie.
At today's hearings the power
company presented some $50
pages of testimony, much of it
having to do with safety features
planned for the new reactor and
expert opinion on the subject.
DR.. Hans A. Bethe, a Cornell
University physicist and a con-
sultant to PRDC, said that the
possibility of any radiation dan
ger from the reactor is less likely
than the most freakish accident.
He added there is no pos
sibility whatsoever of there
being an explosion like that
of an atomic bomb.
DramatiZeS Use
Edward Reed, an attorney for
the power company. said in an
statement that the
hearing "dramatizes the fact
that the days of pure military
use of atomic energy are past. I"
He contended that the breeder

from the fact that it produces
more atomic fuel than it con-
sumes, is the most economically
