returned that press freedom
requires professional secrecy.
Their resolution said:
Noting that recently prose-
cutiorS have been instituted
and that sentences have been
pronounced against journalists
who refused TO reveal the
sources OF their information,
the Fourth World Congress re-
afiirms that journalists should
observe professional secrecy re-
garding the sources OF infor-
nation obtained In confidence:
"Reafiirms that the liberty OF
the press requires the, observ-
ance OF professional secrecy,
saluteS those colleagues who
have been sentenced for adher-
ing TO this code and trusts that
national organizations OF Jour-
nalistS will endeavor to secure
recognition Of professional
secrecy in their country"
The federation is made UP OF
working newsmen in 10 coun-
tries. Representatives OF Aus
tria, Belgium. Denmark. Fin
land, France. Germany, Luxem-
bourg. Norway. Sweden. Swift
zerland. Holland and the United
States are attending the Lon
don congress.
The federation was formed
in 1852 after Western journal
lists pulled out Of the old in
ternational organization OF
journalists because Communist
members were using 1t as a
propaganda sounding board.

Moments later Mr.. Yancey
emerged from the well. the body
of little Kathy in his arms.
Mr.. Yancey died yesterday,
much in the same manner
underground. and barely a mile
from the Fiscus tragedy.
Mr.. Yancey. a 47-year-old
contractor. went into an 8-foot
sewer ditch yesterday with the
same disregard for danger that
he displayed when he toiled
two days below ground trying TO
save Kathy. A man had been
sent for timbers to shore the
ditch. but Yancey didn't wait.
He said he'd be all right

to move some equipment, and
when I looked around, the eartl,

Others dug desperately u

Firemen administered oxygen,
But Mr. Yancey was dead, his

National figures show that $4,000

Supplies of uranium and thorium,
the two elements used most frequent

times higher than estimates made at

in Geneva three years ago.
Grahl reported also that progress
has been made in controlled atomic
fusion research since the 1855 con-
ference. Among the nations working
on problems of controlled fusion are
the United States, Russia, Britain,
France and Sweden.
While the United States impressed
the conference with its vast and eff
fective research program, the British
the practical design and construction
of large atomic power stations, Grahl
thought. He said Russian progress ap-
pears to be extensive, but that the
status of projects was not thoroughly
reported by the USSR scientists.
RUSSIAN LEADER REPORTS
V. S. Emelyanov, the principal Rus
sian delegate to the conference, de-
clared that atomic energy gradually
will occupy more prominent place in
the total energy balance of his coun-
try for three principal reasons: (D |
fossil fuel and hydro resources are
limited in some areas of European |
Russia; (2) in remote areas atomic
reactors viii be important "in the
future, especially in the
north; and (3) fossil fuels, which
are the raw materials for much of the
rapidly developing chemical industry,
will be needed for ,other than fuel
purposes.
The first USSR station of 5000
XIV capacity has been operating re-
iably for four years, he said, and has
proved rather simple and convenient.
The largest power producing reactor
low operating anywhere in the world,
le reported, is producing power in an
part of Siberia. It's initial
apacity is 100,00O-KW; but construc-
ion of five additional reactors with

program of development to large anC
small power reactors of considerable
variety. In commenting on this pro.
gram Krahl said:
"The Russian program is difficult
to pin down. Although the Russians
have reported great deal of detailed
technical data, they have been ambig-
uous on program schedules, and will
not state when the plants described
in their reports are expected to be
completed Their general reaction to
questions has been when they are
completed, you will know about it. :"
U. S. AROUSES SUSPICION
The United States delegation did
not make good impression upon the
conference with it's recommendation
for developing practical uses of atom
ic explosions. 1t suggested explosions
for such purposes as digging harbors
and producing subterranean heat for
power. Scientists from other countries
did not believe these were practical
ideas, and some felt they would en-
danger efforts to agree on stopping
atomic bomb tests.
Of special interest to rural CO.
operatives, and others requiring small
generating stations, was Cuba's an
of contract with Brit
ish and U. S. engineering concerns
for a 22,000-KW boiling water re-
actor to be built for $500 per kilo-
watt of capacity. This compares with
cost for coal fired plants of this size
of about 5000 per kilowatt of capac-
lty. 1t is estimated that comparatively |
low fuel costs will enable it to produce
electricity at IL to IL mills per kilo-
figure economical for
areas where fuel costs of coal and oil
ire higher than those for atomic fuels.
