Although final terms of the con

Charles H. Weaver, head of West
inghousr’s newly-formed atomic
power division, said work on the
atomic engine would start “wi bin
he next few months.”
The compjetion date, however,
was a matter of conjecture—
“maybe two years, or it might be
five or six”—Weaver said.
Co a .-‘.ruction of the nuclear re

said, “marks the beginning of the
development of atomic energy in
the transportation field. Our ef

toward putting the reactor in a
ship. We’re trying to build a ship’s
power plant that will burn urani

According to an official of the
atomic energy commission in
Washington, the ship propulsion
project will not be the first non
weapon development of atomic
power undertaken.

1'8-Year Old Hikes
Five Days On
Alaska Highway
FAIRBANKS, W) — William S.
Street, 18-year-old son of the
President of Seattle’s Frederick
and Nelson department store, is in
serious condition after a five-day
trek in sub-zero weather in an ef
fort to get home for Christmas.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
lian S. Street of Medina, a Seattle
suburb, flew north yesterday with
special medicine for treatment of
frostbite. The youth is in St. Jo
seph’s hospital here.
Dr. Arthur J. Schaible said
young Street may loose two of
four badly frozen toes and tha;
the infection is causing a “danger
ously high temperature.”
Street told this story from his
hospital bed:
He decided to try to hike 70
miles to Scotty Creek Lodge on the
Alaska Highway from Chisna in
the rugged White River country
near the Canadian border, after
the plane he was expecting on
Dec. 17 failed to arrive.
He planned to make his way
, over the highway to Fairbanks or
1 Whitehorse and catch a plane in
| :;me to spend Christmas at home.
He made the first 25 miles to the
i Indian settlement of King City. A
■ guide led him eight miles toward
Scotty Creek and then drew a
map, gave Street snowshoes and
turned back. Street became lost
but eventually got back to King
City, though his feet were frozen.
He started out again, this time
with a sled, three dogs and an In
dian driver. The dogs gave out
ond Street and the driver contin
ued toward Scotty Creek, an Indi
an v illage four miles from Scotty
Creek Lodge.
Street said he fainted twive try
ing to keep up with the Indian.
They spent one night at a cabin.
When hey got • near the village,
the driver went ahead and sent
another Indian back with a dog
sled, which took Street to Scotty
Creek Lodge.
From there an Alaska Highway
patrol car brought tlie youth to
Fai banks.
A Stanford Universi v student,
Street said he . pent the season at
"hisana trapping with a 54-year
old sourdough “for experience.”
He intended to return to school
for the spring semester.
G. L. Trowbridge and Norman
Johnson arrived today for the
C.A.A., where they will be em
ployed as communicators for the!
local station. |
