Widow of Tom Mcciy
Dies In San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, </P) — Mrs.
Rena Ellen Moody, the music
teacher widow of militant union
ist Tom Moody who fought for
23 years to get him released from
prison after the 1916 San Fran
cisco Preparedness Day bombing,
died Monday. She was 74.
Mrs. Mooney, who along with
her husband was catapulted into
international notice after Mooney
was convicted of murder, died in
virtual obscurity. Her body was
found near an ironing board by a
roomer in her San Francisco
home.
From the day of the bombing,
July 22, 1916, until her husband
was pardoned and released, Jon.
7, 1939, she led numerous move
ments against what she consid
ered a gross injustice.
When Mooney was freed, he
asked for a divorce but she re
fused, saying “we’ve gone through
too much together.” They lived
apart until his death in March,
J942.

$1,200,000,000 Atomic
Plant To Be Built
To Produce U-235
WASHINGTON, <JP) — The
Atomic Energy Commission an
nounced Tuesday it will build a
giant new atomic plant in south
ern Ohio to step up this nation’s
supply of strategic U-235.
The plant, which will cost $1,
200,000,000 will be situated in
Pike County, the Ohio River Val
ley, about 20 miles north of Ports
mouth.
U-235 will be separated from
uranium ore at the plant through
the gaseous diffusion process.
Highly fissionable U-235 is a key
•product in atomic bombs and at
omic engines.
The Ohio plant is to be part
of a 3 billion dollar expansion
of AEC facilities at Hanford,
Wash.; Oak Ridge, Tenn.; and
Savannah Aiver, S.C.
<
AEC chairman Gordon Dean
has said the new program, of
which the Ohio plant is a part,
will “gain precious time” by;
reaching minimum defense goals
which would not be reached at
present rates of production.

Plentiful Suppli es
Of Food In Store
For Year Ahead
WASHINGTON, </P)—Plentiful
supplies of food appear to be in
store during the year aliead de
spite last month’s crop damaging
drought in the south and north
east.
In its latest measurement of
production prospects, the Agricul
ture Department predicted Mon
day that the combined volume of
all crops this year will be larger
than in any year except 1948 and
1949.
Although the indicated output
is larger than last year, it will
be less evenly distributed because
of heavy losses — particularly in
feed supplies for meat and dairy
animals—in southern states.
The nation is harvesting its sec
ond largest wheat crop on record
—a crop far in excess of expected
needs. Only in the case of pota
toes and sweet potatoes are sup
plies likely to become tight be
fore new crops are harvested in
1953.
