Dirty Air. With atomic-energy plants mushrooming upriver in Ohio's Pike County and downstream at Paducah, and the first atomic-power plant scheduled for the Pittsburgh area, the control of radioactive waste waters will be a gigantic problem. Lessons learned along the Ohio will be applied to the AEC's Savannah River plant and others on the West Coast. Radioactivity in the Columbia River below the AEC's Hanford plant has not reached an alarming level, the health engineers report, and though fish pick up some, most of it settles in such inedible parts as bone...
...Government? Last week TVA Chairman Gordon R. Clapp, in a University of Chicago lecture, answered with a flat no. As evidence, he pointed to the "race" between TVA and Electric Energy, Inc., a combine of five privately owned utility firms, to supply power for Atomic Energy Commission installations at Paducah, Ky.

...past few years, utility men have also displayed a new aggressive spirit in pooling their resources to meet the challenge of atomic power. When the Atomic Energy Commission wanted a 900,000 kw. plant to supply its Paducah, Ky. works, five utilities combined to do the job at Joppa, Ill.; last year 15 companies joined to put up the two biggest private-power plants in the U.S. (total capacity: 2.2 billion kw.) to supply power to AEC's Portsmouth, Ohio atomic plant. Utility men have not forgotten that their own future may lie in atomic energy. For the past...
...Louisville, Ky., Vice President Alben Berkley helped observe National Newspaper Week by helping his great-nephew Johnny Dyson, 13, deliver the Paducah Sun Democrat to a few houses. Said Barkley to one housewife: ". . . I'm taking subscriptions in advance." Told she was paid up until January, the Veep replied: "That's fine. I'll be back; I'm going to be out of a job the first of the year anyway...
