Labor leaders, who grudgingly accepted Secretary Mitchell's program in December as the most lenient they could hope for, crossed their fingers last week and hoped that the nation's preoccupation with defense might take off the heat.

Both Britain and the U.S. use complex machines that work in about the same way toward the same simple purpose: to heat gaseous deuterium (heavy hydrogen) as hot as possible and confine it in a small space as long as possible. When deuterium atoms get hot enough, they hit each other so hard that they "fuse," forming helium 3 (and a neutron) or tritium (and a proton), and give off energy. This process happens explosively in H-bombs, but to control the reaction, the deuterium must be confined. Since ordinary, solid walls cannot hold the gas at the necessary temperature...

There may be discrimination, he agreed, but tax laws cannot be written to take into account every individual's situation." To study the situation further, the governors set up a tristate committee of tax experts...
