NUCLEAR POWER
FOR OIL TANKERS
IS CONSIDERED

Nuclear power - petro-

may soon be used to run
an oil tanker.
Robert B. Hood. MARI

the Washington Sertoma
Club today the agency is
considering such a ship and
added:
Ironically. nuclear pow
er, which will become PEE
troleum'S biggest COMPETE
tor, is at this time best
suited for the propulsion
of tankers. This is due in
part to the fact that the
most efficient use of a nu-
clear engine is obtained if
it is allowed to run contin-
uouSly or with minimum
shutdowns - tankers take
little time in loading and
unloading and can be kept
in almost continuous serv-
ice.

Then at dawn a telephone
call from Premier Pflimlin, just

confirm the powers given Gen.
Salan.
This incident in Algiers was
serious but only local in char
acter. But it was to become the
starting point of a real revolu-
tion-a revolution carried out
with Joy and enthusiasm.
Next morning the city was
filled with groups acclaiming
Gen. de Gaulle and the army.
The role of the executive COM
mittee was defined: 1t was to be
a consultative body providing
liaison between the people and
government authorities.
Then the people, wanting to
demonstrate against the Paris
government, turned against its
civilian representatives - pre-
fects and subprefects who are
top administrative officials for
Algerian departments and who
are directly under the Paris
government. These men were
ordered to submit to the revo-
lutionary movement or resign.
Most of them left their jobs
and left Algeria.
Committees of Public Safety
were created all over Algeria.
