WHO WILL GET BENEFIT OF
ATOMIC INVESTMENT?

think | need not tell you that
the next major development in the
technology of the electric industry
will be the increasing use of atomic
fission as a source of heat energy
to be converted into electric energy.
At present the American people have
some SIS billion invested in the atom
ic energy program. and one of the
major political problems we must face
in the very near future is the ques-
ton of who is going to get the bene-
fit from that investment.
The other great chronological
change in the industry has been under
way for several decades. and it can
be described as the Giant Power con-
cept. which Clifford Pinchot tried to
harness to the public welfare when
he was Governor of Pennsylvania in
1925. Giant Power is the system of
great super-high voltage region-wide
