...will show its first practical results." Four atomic power plants have been completed this year and are delivering civilian power; the Shippingport plant will be No. 5. One of these plants has been financed entirely by private capital, and seven other full-scale plants likewise are scheduled to be built by private capital without any direct Government financial contribution. Fifteen other atomic power plants, for civilian use, are presently under actual construction, or contracts have been entered into and design work is under way. All this has come about in 4½ years...

Through industry and acumen, round-faced, open-handed Frank Gannett also built one of the nation's biggest and most profitable newspaper empires. When he died last week in Rochester at 81, long-ailing Frank Gannett not only owned the 125-year-old Democrat & Chronicle (circ. 125,405), but 21 other papers as well-more than any other U.S. publisher...
