Big Reoctor
To Be Built
In Maryland
BY the Associated Press

The Bureau of Standards
said yesterday it plans to build
one of the Nations largest
nuclear research reactors at
its new Germantown (Md.)
headquarters.
Bureau officials said the re-
actor, which they hope to have
in operation by 1868, will cost
between SIS and $40 million
with an initial power output
OF 10 megawattS.
DR.. Carl o. Muehlhause, chief
Of the bureaus reactor group,
said it would be used for basic
research into the composition
of matter and how radiation
affects the basic properties of
materials"
Construction is scheduled to
start next year on the new
Bureau of Standards building
on Maryland highway 240,
north of Gaithersburg.
DR.. Muehlhause said the new
reactor would be used on a
pooled basis by other Govern
ment research installations.
New reactors are also being
built by the University of Mary
land, the Bethesda Naval Med
ical Center and the Diamond
Ordnance Fuse Laboratory.

Suits challenging the con-

Senate deadlocked over the

Statement Quoted
Gov. Tawes asked the James
committee, a standing fiscal
study group of the Legislative
Council, to explore the problem
between sessions. He noted in
his statement today that the
committee has now reported
and its recommendations have
been adopted by the council.
"On the basis of fiscal in
formation now available to me,
I believe that these recon-
mendations are financially
sound and prudent and will
assure fiscal stability and solv-
ency without the necessity Of
levying additional taxes" the
Governor said.

members-David L. Cahoon,
Mrs. Stella B. Werner and
Stanley B. Frosh-favored some
form of modernization of the
land-acquisition procedure.
Pending a final determina- =

changes, the council authorized
Mr.. Reese to re-study the ques-

In a memorandum submitted

policy of prolonged negotia-
tons" to obtain the dedication
of all land required for road
projects in rural areas was
attacked as undesirable" and
unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Reese also declared that
the present procedure has re-
suited in:
THE creation of inequities
when payments are made to a
small minority of property
owners after the great major
ity of owners have dedicated
the necessary property"
ReviSiOns Asked
The manager recommended
a sweeping revision of current
practices. The proposed pro-
gram would involve professional
appraisalS of benefits accruing
to properties as the result of
road improvements.
After benefits and road costs
per foot are estimated, the
manager said, agreements with

The OUTLOOK
BY Pastor Stephens
WHAT Is MAN LIKE?

MAN is more than an animal.
AVA He is more than an educat-
ed animal. He is a child of God
In fact, he is not an animal at
all. Even if it could be proved
that he came from a fish or
some animal species, his similar
ity would be only physical, al
most. He is not simply a highly
developed stage of animal life
but something totally different.
Just as he is not higher de
gree of animal, he is not
lesser degree of God. When
some each that God is Spirit
and man is spirit and the diff
ference is not one of kind, but
degree, he is absolutely wrong
Mans fellowship with God is
so wonderful not because man
finally becomes God and enjoys
therefore, fellowship as ar
equal. It is so wonderful because
the merciful and loving Goo
permits man to have Fellowship
with Him, even though man is
totally different from God by
nature. He is Gods greatest
creation. Yet he is still a crea-
ton.
Man is a marvellous creation
| often think God, how wonder
fully You have made this man.
He is indeed "a little lower than
the angels and crowned with
glory and honor"
Jesus tells us also that We are

wonderful creatures. We were
made to live eternally. To ac-
complish that end God was will
ing to pay the great price of
the cross for our redemption.
Jesus Himself became man in
every respect. That alone makes
us creatures of extreme worth.
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1959-05-23

Occasionally I begin to feel
that I am worthless or that
there is nothing to live for any
more, or that there is nothing
important any more. Then a
