Gordon Dean
Predicts New Era
Of Atom Power
GROTON, Conn., (/P) — Gordon
Dean, chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission, appeared
along with the chief executive at
the formal start of construction
on the Nautilus, specially de
signed to operate with nuclear
fission power.
Dean asserted in his prepared
speech that “this submarine is
going to work.
“And when it does work it is
going to be the forerunner of a
new era, not only in naval war
fare, but in the history of man
kind,” he added.
He emphasized that this is the
first practical utilization of atom
ic power in such manner and he
said the implications for defense
and human welfare “are enor
mous.”
Truman, talking somewhat the
the same angle, asserted:
“The power plant that will go
into this atomic powered submar
ine is not just being planned on
paper. The Atomic Energy Com
mission and the Navy have actu
ally gone out and built a sub
marine hull on dry land at Arco,
Idaho.
“They are putting into it a full
size, working engine, complete in
all respects—the same kind of
engine that will be used in this
ship.
“That engine on dry land is
almost complete right now. Soon
they will start it running and give
it the most thorough tests. And,
believe it or not, when they are
through working with that model
it will be perfectly possible to
hitch it up to turn out electricity
like any other dry land power
plant.”

Truman Hits Talk Of
$40 Billion Tax Cut
GROTON, Conn., </P) — Presi
dent Truman disclosed Saturday
that a “full-size, working” atomic
engine for submarines is almost
completed for test runs.
The President gave out the
news in an address prepared for
delivery at the ceremonies here
in connection with the laying of
the keel for the nation’s first
atomic powered submersible, the
Nautilus.
At the same time he hit out
hard at what he called dangerous
efforts to* sell the American peo
ple on the idea that there is “some
cut-rate, bargain-counter route”
to national security.
And he swung a punch at Gen.
Eisenhower, He said he had heard
the other* day that “somebody”
was talking about a 40-billion
dollar tax cut. That was an ob
vious reference to* a statement
attributed to the general.
In reference to the 40-billion
dollar tax cut idea he said:
“That would leave us with only
about half enough money to sup
port our forces even if we didn’t
spend a penny for anything else.”
“E” is by far the most-used
English letter, one count show
ing the proportion of 126 “Es”
to 90 “Ts,” the next most-used
letter.
Eisenhower to Reject
Written Speeches,
Will Speak Off the Cuff
DETROIT, </P>— Gen. Eisen
hower declared Saturday that his
“basic concern for and love of
America” is the sole basis for his
quest of the Republican Presi^
dential nomination.
The five-star general of the
armies told a breakfast rally of
supporters that “if this honest de
cent approach is not enough —
that is all I can do.”
Eisenhower said he has torn up
drafts of speeches his advisers
had helped him prepare.
“I am not a medicine man and
I have no panacea for all our ills,”
he declared. “But I have a basic
concern for and love of America.
If I make blunders, I hope my
friends will excuse them. Such
as I have is America’s.”
The dramatic decision of the
general to speak off the cuff was
indicating he is restive about con
forming to the usual political
forming to the usual policical
practices in campaigning.
Ordinarily, major speeches
would be prepared long in ad
vance and texts of them furnished
to reporters.
If the water in the Great Lakes
were regarded as idiots and killed.
United States, it would be 10 to
18 feet deep.
U.S. MILITARY POLICE
BREAK UP P.O.W. COMPOUND
KOJE ISLAND, Korea, (#) —
U.S. military police drove 900 de
fiant North Korean prisoners of
war out of a compound with tear
gas Saturday, hauled away 15
leaders and liberated 273 prison
ers who said they were anti
communists.
It was the third time during
the day guards had thrown tear
gas grenades into new, smaller
compounds to quickly quell Red
defiance.
Brig. Gen. Hay don L. Boatner’s
headquarters dismissed the inci
dents as minor. No casualties
were reported.
Although the Alaskan fur seal
spends much of its life in the
water, it must learn to swim.
