first nuclear reactor has oper-
ated at a power level more than

ually cut the cost Of atomic
power.
The Acc announcement also
said the maximum power level
Of its boiling water reactor al

tory. Lemont. Ill, may be still
higher than was achieved.
A commission statement said
the experimental reactor was
successfully operated on De-
cember % at a power level Of
$4,000 kilowatts of heat. The
reactor was designed to pro-
duce 10000 kilowatts Of heat.
Actual electrical output OF
the Argonne power plant was
increased in last weeks ex-
pertinent to $3.50 kilowatts
compared with the planned out.
put of 5000 kilowatts.
Electrical output couldn't be
increased as much as heat out
put. the announcement said
because the reactor's turbine
generator section can't handle
more than $3.50 kilowatts.
The Acc said that since the
doubled heat output was
achieved without adding fuel
to the reactor core. a resulting
increase in electrical output
would theoretically make pos
sible a cut in the cost Of re-
actor produced electricity.

Visa Loopho|e

BERLIN, Dec. 30 (R.-The
Soviet Union today opened q
loophole for Western diplomats
in the new travel restrictions
requiring East German visas
for civilians travelling to and
from isolated West Berlin.
An announcement yesterday
by the German puppet regime
said that beginning January I
civilian travellers must have
East German instead of Soviet
visas to enter the Russian sat
elite. The rule threatened to
touch of a crisis in Russian
relations with the United
States. Britain and France
which refuse to have diplo-
matte relations with the East
German government on the
ground it was never elected.
A Russian spokesman said
today. however the visa re-
quirement would not apply to
diplomats attached to allied
military missions in West Ber.
lin who wished to travel on the
main highway and rail link TO
West Germany.
Members of the military
missions will be able to travel
as before" a spokesman of the
Soviet Embassy in East Berlin
said in reply to a newsman's
question.
But the spokesman added
that diplomats and other allied
civilians not attached to the
West Berlin military commands
will have to obtain visas from
the East Germans before pro-
ceeding overland to West Ber-
lin.
Without a loophole, the new
regulations would force West

year. 10 cents an hour in 1859
and 10 cents an hour in 1860.
They also asked for q boost Of
seven cents an hour in health,

Current base pay for drivers
involved is $2.27 an hour. In
