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.”

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.
Sincerely,
Strom Thurmond '

An average of from six to eight weeks. Extreme
cases may take longer, many are relieved in a few
days.
How Much Will It Cost?
That depends on each case. The cost is nominal
when compared with conventional methods. There
is no charge for CONSULTATIQN } -
