FAST TAX WRITE-OFFS will dry up soon. Senate Finance Committee approved measure to end write-offs altogether by Dec. 31, 1959, and to limit them until then to radically new or specialized production or research facilities for military services and AEC...
...PUBLIC-POWER DRIVE for harnessing atom will be pressed by Democrats in Congress. They want AEC to build and run $210 million worth of atomic power projects, thus set precedent for Government operation of atom plants for consumers. If program is blocked, Democrats threaten to stop some appropriations for AEC, hold up confirmation of newly named AECommissioners John Graham and John Floberg...
Clean Bombs. At his weekly news conference the President made two unexpected gestures of good will. Two weeks ago, he recalled, AEC Chairman Strauss and three top U.S. scientists had reported that U.S. H-bomb fallout has been reduced by 96%, and that, given more time and testing opportunities, they could be made 100% clean (TIME, July 8).
