Stevenson is a roorback specialist. The roorback hibernates during political off-years and roars back to life during national presidential campaigns. Ex-President Truman is a well-known breeder of roorbacks; occasionally they turn on him. His latest encounter with a roorback was well nigh fatal...
...Munich there was a butcher named Strauss who bought poultry from a breeder named Heinrich Himmler. Opposite the Strauss butchershop, at No. 50 Schellingstrasse, Heinrich Hoffmann owned a photographic shop; a frequent visitor was a pale man with a wispy mustache named Adolf Hitler, who wore a trench coat and nervously slapped his boots with a dog whip. A goggle-eyed witness of the spectacular rise of Hitler, Himmler & Co. was the butcher's stocky son, Franz Josef. Catching his son distributing Nazi propaganda one day, Butcher Strauss, a staunch Catholic, gave the boy a thrashing right there...
ATOM-POWER FIGHT, starring public-v. private-power champions, will have a showdown at AEC public hearings next month. Argument will center on safety of "fast-breeder" reactor plant being built by Detroit Edison-led private combine near Monroe, Mich. Public-power proponents want AEC to halt "unsafe" Monroe project, favor government development of "fast breeder," which is reactor type with most economic promise...
FIRST BIG U.S. REACTOR to manufacture more nuclear fuel than it consumes will be built near Monroe, Mich, by Detroit's Power Reactor Development Corp., a group of 26 industrial firms and private utilities. Power generated by the $40.5 million, 100,000-kw., "fast neutron breeder plant" will be distributed by Detroit Edison Co. AEC, which has made only small-scale fast breeders, stipulated that the company must show its plant is safe before getting operating permit...
There are today at least eight feasible techniques for generating reactor heat convertible into electricity, e.g., pressurized water, sodium-graphite, boiling water, fast breeder. Britain, in sore need of power, is concentrating on one proved but cumbersome method (using a gas coolant), which is fast becoming obsolescent; Russia plans seven reactors; the U.S.. however, is actively planning to build and operate all eight types, in addition is considering at least two others. This means that the U.S. will lag in actual atomic-power output; it should also mean that the U.S. will emerge with the best method. A recent...
