Atomic Plant
Success Hailed
BY the Associated Press

Success of the Nations first
large-scale atomic power plant
at Shippingport, Pa, has boost
ed United States world prestige
the Senate-H House Atomic En-
ergy Committee has been told
John W. Simpson, an en-
gineer who worked on develop
ment of the plant, testified
yesterday that it not only sue
cesSfully has produced eiectri-
city but also has provided in
valuable experimental data as
an atomic power laboratory
Mr.. Simpson is general man
ager of the Belts Laboratory
at Pittsburgh, operated by the
Westinghouse Corp. for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
First Power in 81
The $4,000 kilowatt Ship
pingport plant produced its
first power for the lines of the
Duquesne Light Co. in Deem
Der, 1857.
AS the first United States
demonstration of a large-scale
nuclear plant, Mr.. Simpson
said, Its successful operation
has promoted United States
scientific and technical prestige
in the world"
Mr.. Simpson was one of a
number of witnesses testifying
before the committee in its an
nual series of hearings on
peaceful uses of atomic energy.
John J. Winterbottom, a vice
president of ESQ Standard Oil
Co., said his concern had pro-
posed to the Governments
Maritime Administration that
one of EsSo's new 47,000-ton
tankerS be provided with nu-
clear propulsion.
Mr.. Winterbottom said his
company would undertake the
project if the Government
would agree to pay the addi-
tional costs Of the nuclear pow
er plant over conventional
propulsion, the added fuel
costs, and the cost of needed
extra insurance.
S13 Million Cost
Under questioning, he said
that the construction cost to
the Government under such a
plan would be about $l3 mil
lion, or almost as much as the
S13.5 million ESQ pays for a
conventional tanker.
Eisenhower administrat i o n
officials recently told a House
committee they were not plan
ming to put any Federal funds
at this time into an atomic
tanker.

Several Democrats are build
ing a protest bonfire under
President Eisenhower's nomi'
nation of Lewis L. Strauss al
Secretary of Commerce.
Mr.. Strauss, one of Wash.
ingtonS more controversial
figures, appears likely to gel
eventual confirmation if only
because the Senate seldom ir
modern times has rejected
cabinet appointment.
But Senators Kefauver, Dem
ocrat of Tennessee, Johnston
Democrat Of South Carolina
and some other Democrats are
expected to direct a hot fire
against the former chairman
of the Atomic Energy Com
mission before the appointment
is acted on by the Senate
Commerce Committee.
The committee postponed
consideration of the nomina-
ton, scheduled today, after
Senator Kefauver asked for a
delay pending a Justice De-
! partment report on Mr.. Strauss
role in the Dixon-Yates con-
troversy.
Rogers Replies
Attorney General Rogers
meanwhile. made public a let
ter to Senator Kefauver say
ing there is no such investiga-
ton pending.
There have been no findings
in the Department of Justice
which reflect adversely on Mr.
Strauss, Mr.. Rogers said.
He added it would be inap-
propriate for him to comment
further because the Govern
ment is still being sued for
nearly 50 million by Dixon
Yates interests over cancella-
ton of the power contract.
Chairman Magnuson, Demo-
crat of Washington, said the
Commerce Committee may call
public hearings in about two
weeks.
Senator Monroney, Demo-
crat of Oklahoma, a commit
tee member, said there will be
more than curSory hearings, {"
with a number of people to be
heard.
Dirksen to Defend Strauss
Told by a reporter of Sena-
tor Kefauver's reference to
Dixon Yates, Senator Dirksen
of Illinois, the Senate Repub-
lican leader, exclaimed:
"Oh, my, are they going to
bring that up again? Well, I'll
be on hama to help defend
Admiral Strauss"
Senator Kefauver contended
in statement yesterday Mr..
Strauss arranged for a presi-
dental directive requiring the
Acc to contract with the
Dixon-Yates utilities combine
to build a power plant at West
Memphis, Ark. to supply sup
Elemental power to the Ten
neSSee Valley Authority.
The contract was Cancelled
by presidential order after
testimony before congressional
committee showed Adolphe
Wenzell, New York financier,
served as an adviser both to
the Budget Bureau and to the
utilities interests.
The city of Memphis. Tenn,
then served by IVA, had de-
cided in the meantime to build
its own power plant.

to greet Mr.. Eisenhower on ar
rival Wednesday and he was
welcomed warmly everywhere
he went. More than a million
Indians maSsed to pay homage
to him last night.
officials said there was no
formal Sendoff with bands and
ceremonies because of the early
hour.
Indian President Rejendra
Prasad accompanied Mr.. Eisen-
hover to Palam Airport outside
New Delhi. Prime Minister
Nehru arrived five minutes ear
lier to be on hand for the
farewell.
Mr.. Eisenhower, in enthusi-
astic spirits at the informal
airport sendoff. told Mr.. Nehru:
Frankly. I think I've learned
a little more here than I ever
thought would have in a coun-
try in such a short time"
In the windup of his public
appearances last night, another
huge throng heard Mr.. Eisen-
hpwer's message on peace and
freedom for mankind.
Largest Audience
At the giant gathering Mr..
Nehru told Mr.. Eisenhower he
was leaving with "a piece of
our heart"
Sixty acres Of solidly packed
humanity. stretching as far as
the eye could see, paid the final
mass tribute to the President.
Mr.. Nehru said it was the great
est civic reception he has ever
seen at the sprawling Ram Lila
Park between Old and New
Delhi. 1t was the largest crowd
Mr.. Eisenhower has ever faced.
We believe that freedom
will be won everywhere" Mr..
Eisenhower told the crowd.
The hunger for it is far too
deep-Seated to be put of by
a contrived definition or a
man-made philosophy"
After his speech, Mr.. Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Nehru met for
a last talk over the dinner
table, then issued a COM
munique expressing deep sat
isfaction at friendly United
StateS-Indian relations.
Mr.. Eisenhower repeatedly
invoked the narle Of Mohandas
K. Gandhi. leader of India's in
dependence movement, to show
that the United States and
India are bound together by
the same dedication to free
dom.
Sees Gandhi Approval
He also hinted that Gandhi,
foremost disciple of passive re-
Sistance, would have approved
the right of free peoples to join
in mutual defense alliances to
protect their freedom.
Americas right to maintain
respectable establishment for
defense-or duty to join in
company with like-thinking
peoples for mutual self-defense
would. I am sure, be recog-
nized and upheld by the most
sanity Of men," he said.
In a farewell statement pre-
pared for broadcast to Indians

Eisenhower said his visit has
been one of the most moving
experiences of my life"

Health Conditions
Limit II Million
By the Associated Press

Chronic health conditions
limit the normal activity of an
estimated II million Americans.
the Public Health Service said
yesterday.
These II million persons
about 10 per cent of the United
States population-are limited
in their ability to work, keep
house. or pursue outdoor &C
tivities.
OF this group. an estimated
4.859,000 persons have trouble
moving about or cannot move
about without help. About 1
million Of these are completely
confined to their homes.
These interviews showed
that about Al per cent of the
population, or about 70 mil
lionlion persons, reported one
or more chronic conditions.
The figures do not include
military personnel or people in
long-term institutions.
Activity limitations were re-
ported most frequently among
low-income families and Older
people.
