COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS u*TLs ii.z avo'i jii-j.i t 'mu i'* * j No method has been developed to date for the conversion of atomic energy directly into electrical energy. The only method of harnessing atomic energy known today is to use it as a fuel to produce heat which can be converted to mechanical energy in a steam or gas turbine and then to electrical energy in a generator. •> The atomic energy plant is therefore the same as the coal fired steam-electric power plant except that instead of a ,coal fired furnace there is a nuclear furnace or a reactor in which the heat is produced by nuclear fission or the splitting of the atoms. The use of electric energy has been doubling every 10 years; It is expected that by 1975 our population will go up another 40%, but the total energy use is expected to al- jnost , double and the use .of electric energy is expected to be 3% times the 1955 demand. We who enjoy the world’s highest standard of living, have the highest per capital en ergy consumption. , >o , > The expected acceleration in the demand for energy dur ing the next;40-50 years makes it necessary to take inven tory of available reserves of sources of energy. And since we have the world’s largest energy appetite let us first take stock of bur own reserves. First, let us consider coal which, up to 1935, was our major source of energy. Beginning with 8 million tons in 1950 the output climbed to a peak of over 500 million tons in 1920. During the last 36 years the use of coal has not shown any steady gains due to competition of oil and nat ural gas. These two fuels have captured the home heating market and oil has replaced the coal burning locomotives with Diesels. However, the slack has been taken up by the electric utilities,, which, in 1956, used about 150 million tons or 30% of the total coal production. It is estimated that in 1975 the electric utility industry will use over 400 mil lion tons of coal or about one-half of the total coal output of about 800 million tons during that year. With the ever inreasing demands of our dynamic and expanding economy this coal reserve will not last much more than one century and as the reserves dwindle the cost of cbal i^ould start climbing. At higher cost levels more coal reserves would become economically available. Higher costs of coat would make it impossible to maintain the policy of low cost electric energy which has contributed so much to our industrial development and to our individual comfort. Next, let uS consider the oil situation. Beginning with an Insignificant use in 1900, our consumption of oil has jumped to 3.0 billion bbls. in 1955.' It is estimated that by 1975 our consumption of oil will mount to 5.3 billion bbls. Natural gas, our 3rd major source of energy, has had the most spectacular increase in demand, most of it since World War II. As of the end of 1956 the indicated reserves were 22 times the 1956 production. The last important source of energy, that from water power, supplied about 20% of our electric energy produc tion and only 4 % of our total energy use during 1955. It is expected that by 1975 the capacity and output of water power will be more than doubled but water power will con tinue to be a small portion to the total energy supply. - The importance of this new source of energy is both in its abundance 4nd in its widespread distribution. To a nation blessed With comparative abundance of convention fu^te, 4uch as the United States nuclear fuels offer, for the future, protection from higher energy costs.” Strom j Wrmond TTrrrr During the past week, hearings have been held by the Aviation Subcommittee of the Senate Com merce Committee on a bill I in troduced to prevent the serving and drinking of alcholic beverages on airplanes. It is strange sometimes to see the extent to which people will go in an effort to continue a dangerous practice. One of the major airlines paid the expenses of a group of their hostesses and had them sign a petition in op position to my bill, S. -4. Those girls actually testified that they preferred to work on airplanes on which alcohol is served. Under questioning, it was brought out that some of the airlines give hostesses or stewardesses extra compensation for serving alcoholic drinks sold on their planes. PILOTS, STEWARDESSES AGAINST ALCOHOL ON PLANES The pilots and stewardesses as^- sociations, which testified against drinking on airplanes, exhibited courage in doing that because they knew their employers pre ferred for them to remain quiet. The vice chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board testified again st my bill. When I asked him for any good reason why alcohol should be served on airplanes, he was unable to give one. To 'me .this was sufficient evidence that the profit motive is the main reason any of the airlines want to serve alcohol. There is no excuse why non drinkers should be subjected to the possibility of unpleasantness on an airplane, much less the real dangers which might arise if an intoxicated person interferes, or attempts to interfere, with operat ion of a plane or disrupts the crew in performance of its duties CHILDREN ON PLANES MUST BE CONSIDERED There is an additional object ion to drinking on airplanes when children are among the passengers. In such restricted space '‘as that on a plane, it is virtually im possible to prevent children from being in a flying bar, in effect if alcohol is being' served. Children are prohibited from entering saloons on the ground. I see no reason why they should not be given the same protection in the air. must make his own choh-e about While I believe eve) rerson drinking alcoholic bev -s, I do not believe he should per mitted to do so if the !. m or comfort of other persons Iso involved. That’s where t ne should be drawn both by rs and non-drinkers. AIRLINES SHOULD F\) OTHER WAYS OF MAK NC MONEY If the airlines need mon ^ c bad they have to serve a to get greater profits^ they s. aid find other ways of securing rao., revenue or of cutting expense Financial profit should not 11 permitted to endanger or caur, discopifort to innocent people. I have many friends among * Y: airline people, but the public In terest and the public safety c t- weigh any other considers J .' n with me. I hope my bill will se approved. CIVIL RIGHTS BILL EXTENDS CONGRESSIONAL SESSION This session of the Congress has already run longer than was expected because of the so-called civil rights bill. In view of the fact that Senate debate on that bill took approximately five weeks, it is understandable that the session has run longer that usual. As of now it is still impossible to predict when session will end because what the House of Re presentatives will do with the bill is still in doubt since the House did not immediately agree to the Senate amendments. Possibly some agreement will be worked out among House lead ers which would be acceptable to a majority of the Senate. On the other hand, it is entirely possible that no agreement can be reached and the result is like ly to be a long\ stalemate. FOREIGN AID BILL TO BE FACED In addition to the so-called civil rights bill, we still face the prob lem of the foreign aid appropriat ions bill. The President has stated he might call a special session of Congress if he does not con sider the appropriations for fore ign aid sufficient to meet the needs as he visualizes them . So, with these two bills pend ing, one person’s guess is as good an another’s when it comes to predicting the date of adjournment of the Congress. Some members are optimistic and predict that everything will soon be worked out,- but others still believe the session could run much longer.

Street corner set-ups will also be available on Saturdays for anyone missed on the door to door canvass during the week. This program is aimed at wip ing out all undiscovered cases of syphilis in the county by locating %nd bringing each one to medical attention. All persons between the ages of 12 and 60 are urged to take advantage of this free service. Results are confidential and all persons needing treatment will have the choice of taking it from their own physician or from the County Health Department. Moore Teaches At Lutheridge Dr. Milton W.
