ton is sought.
These lethal waste materials,

Ions. John F. Newell Acc sanitary
engineer. has estimated that by the
year 1000. high-level waste produc-
ton will reach 10 million gallons a
year. The life Of these tanks, which
so far have cost $40 million, is
measured in terms Of decades.
whereas the high radioactivity Of
their contents is measured in terms
Of centuries.
Tonks Moy Be Uneconomicol
Unless these materials can be put
to profitable uses in the future as
new ways are found to make the
radioactive isotopes work for man,
some permanent trash heap-safely
insulated from man, his water sup
ply and his food supply-must be
discovered. The costs as well as the
physical limitations would seem to
rule out tanks as a permanent
solution.
Many suggestions have been made.
The more visionary experts have
proposed that the wastes may be
sent to the moon by rockets. that
they be sealed in q man-made
moon" to travel endlessly in space
around the earth. or that they be
placed in tremendous containers
and shot into outer space to travel
a solar orbit like that Of planetoid.
1t also has been suggested that
the atomic waste be placed in deep
salt wells three to five miles below
the earth's surface and far below
ground water tables. other ideas
have included pumping 1t into
abandoned mines, caves and oil
wells three deep pits dug into i'm
pervious shale at Oak Ridge. Tenn.
now hold about 1 million gallons Of
low-level waste.
The ocean offers the most tempt
ing possibility as permanent nu-
clear garbage dump. But the risks Of
communicating this primary source
Of mans food supply are great
Walton A. Rodger Of the Argonne
National Laboratory has estimated
that the maximum plausible reactor
construction by the year 1000 could
result in wastes containing IS
thousand million CURES Of deadly
strontium-90. This amount would
require for dilution to the point Of
harmlesSness rs billion cubic miles
Of water. or about 5 per cent OF all
ocean waters. according to Mr..
Rodger.
Many scientists maintain that II
the high-level wastes are deposited
in the sea. the packaging of them
will be so complex as to be eco
nomically prohihitive If the contain
ers are to hold up under erosive
ocean-botton mud flows which actu.
ally may have carved out some Of
the miles-deep submarine canyons.
The Acc hopes that oceanogra-
phic data produced by the Inter-
national Geophysical Year will help
provide part Of the answer.
So far. however, oceanographers
have insisted that 1t would be bet
ter to dispose Of the wastes on land,
while the biologists maintain that
the ocean, not the land. offers the
only hope OF a solution. And It is
just such expert differences Of opin-
ion that add TO the magnitude Of
the problem.

One Of the least publicized but
most pressing problems presented
by the Atomic Age is what TO do
with the deadly wastes that remain
after the harnessed atom has done
its work.
Some leading nuclear scientists
maintain that any widespread
beneficial application Of nuclear
technology viii have to wait until
an economic and safe way is found
to dispose Of wastes from the peace
full atom. Says DR.. Hoyt Whipple
Of the University Of Rochester:
I'm the current wave of en-
thusiasm for nuclear power. the
management Of wastes has the
position Of q stepchild. One risks
being branded q Cassandra If he
points out. as I am doing. that
waste problems may make or break
the nuclear power business. 1t
may not be fashionable to ponder
these problems, but 1t is nonethe-
less important to do so while there
is still time to avoid serious
mistakes"
A Health Problem
What. specifically, is the problem.
and how is 1t being handled today?
AS far as ordinary citizens are
concerned. the problem is one Of
public health. But attempts to solve
1t call for the combined knowledge
Of chemists, health physicists. n.y.
biologists. geographers. biologists,
oceanographers and meteorologists.
The effects Of radioactive poisons
are sometimes as subtle as they are
lethal. They can be brought into the
body by the food we eat, the water
we drink, or the air we breathe. And
the first symptoms may appear in
later years, long after help is pos
sible.
The wastes which occur in liu-
uid. solid and gaseous form, result
from every phase Of the nuclear
industry, from the initial mining
Of uranium ores on through the

operation Of reactors, the processing
Of spent fuels. and in research. Ad-
ditional poisons may result even In
some methods Of disposing Of the
original wastes. The laundering of
clothes worn in atomic work creates
waste in the form Of contaminated.

the wastes is short-lived, disappear

tive equivalent Of more than 1000
tons of radium. Less than six
pounds OF radium has been pro-

Gus injury Of hundreds Of persons.
OF the three forms Of nuclear
waste. that which is gaseous or
otherwise airborne seems to present
the fewest problems. Filtering has
been successful in removing dan
gerous material. If air is used as a
coolant for reactor, it is prefiltered
to remove minute particles that
would later become radioactive.
Glass. kraft paper and asbestos are
used as filter material. For filter
ing large amounts of air thick sand
beds are used.
The short-lived radioactive gases
can be released into the atmosphere
through a tall smokestack when
atmospheric conditions permit.

Gen. Nuwar returned to Jordan
and obtained quick agreement from
Premier Nabulsi that the time had
come to press for diplomatic rela-
tons with the Soviet Union. Gen.
Nuwar was to handle the arms
deal himself.
But the King refused to author
lie either recognition Of the Soviet
Union or the arms deal. Instead
he demanded that Mr.. Nabulsi re-
form his cabinet.
Mr.. Nabulsi stalled. Apparently
without authorization, he an

At the same time the King an
nounced he had asked the cabinet

The Civil Rights Bill and Trial by jury
No Right Is Denied

rights Of individuals, including safe
guards for witnesses and accused
persons, were written into our Con-
stitution with its Bill of Rights by
the founding fathers of our Nation
following the American Revolution.
AS a consequence. trial by jury is
constitutionally guaranteed in GRIM
inal prosecutions and preserved in
common law actions where the
value in controversy exceeds $40.
But since there had been no right
to jury trials in equity proceedings,
or contempt Of court proceedings.
no such right was written into the
Constitution.
A Classic Method
A contempt proceeding is the
classic method used by a court
for obtaining compliance with its
orders, injunctions. and DEGREES.
punishment, regulated by rules and
statutes, may be imposed for willful
violations Of court orders. Or a
court. continuing to seek COM
plance, may detain a person in
custody until he complies. Obvi-
ously, then. compliance with court
orders, rather than punishment Of
wrong -doers, Is to be desired in
connection with injunctions to pro-
tect constitutional rights.
In all these cases, violators of
court orders and injunctions have
the right TO appeal to higher courts.
The pending legislation would
give the United States civil reme-
dies similar to those now provided
in over 80 Federal laws covering
other areas Of activity; for exam
pie. Atomic Energy Act. antitrust
and monopoly, bridges over navi-
gable waters. etc. These laws au-
thorize the United States to obtain
MISUNDERSTANDING the perform
ance OF certain acts, or prohibiting
the commission of certain acts
and do not require that criminal
prosecutions must also be instituted.
The pending legislation would be in
keeping with these laws.
Opponents want to legislate a
right to jury trials in proceedings
for injunctions and contempts of
court. 1t might be suspected that
they see such provision as a device
for rendering the legislation itself
meaningless.
They argue that Congress once
granted such right in labor dis
pute cases but they fail to point
out that that provision has become
a nullity for all practical purposes
sine enactment Of the Taft
Hartley Act.
Congress has. with almost no ex-
ception. refused to grant jury trials
when the United States is a plain
till in the original proceedings. The
pending legislation leaves the law
as 1t is today and does not make
any exceptions.
In conclusion: All Of the talk about
a denial Of the right to trial by
jury" is q pure smokescreen thrown
up by those who want to defeat or
nullify this legislation. There is no
necessity for changing our estab-
lished legal system by granting ex-
ira protection to those persons who
would try to prevent the exercise by
others Of the right to vote. Since
compliance with the law and not
punishment is our goal, the courts
should not be hamstrung with pro-
cedures out Of keeping with their
assigned duties.
