Such good will paid off. Into Hospitality House, to mix with Westinghouse's Vice President for Atomics Charles Weaver and its top-drawer salesmen, swarmed representatives of 26 nations. Every prospect who looked good or even hopeful got a handsomely bound prospectus with pictures and detailed sketches of the reactor. When the time came to close the first sale, Scientist Weaver and Salesman de Cubas met with Fiat President Vittorio Valletta and signed...
Hell & High Water. The U.S., which controls Rhee's supplies of gasoline and ammunition, had little fear that Rhee would order his army to march north, but it was thoroughly alarmed at the prospect of a South Korean attack on the neutral commission. In Washington, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles warned the South Koreans that the principle of "nonviolence," which the U.S. is trying to get the Red Chinese to accept, applies equally to U.S. allies. Meanwhile, General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, the U.S. and U.N. supreme commander in the Far East, flew to Seoul and told Rhee...
Gentler Triggers. Although Bhabha was the first topflight scientist to predict the coming of H-power, the prospect has intrigued his brethren everywhere (TIME, July 25). Present atomic reactors all use the fission process: splitting nuclei of the heavier atoms, e.g., uranium or plutonium, to produce a controllable reaction. But fusion, used solely in the H-bomb, involves binding the nuclei of far more plentiful, lighter atoms (deuterium, lithium, etc.) under tremendous heat to produce an explosion...
Back of NADA's straight talk is its concern that the Government might restore wartime Regulation W, which set auto sale terms at one-third down and no more than 18 months to pay. Though no such regulation is in prospect now, the Federal Reserve Board last week summoned to Washington representatives of G.M.A.C., C.I.T. Financial Corp., and other auto-finance companies to find out how auto credit can be tightened...
Bennett professed not to know whether Washington's cutback plans were caused by an ample supply of uranium in the U.S. or by the prospect of some workable new process that could make uranium obsolete as a nuclear fuel. If the latter was the case, Canada was obviously unaware of it. Almost simultaneously with Howe's policy statement, the government revealed the details of Canada's first atomic power station, an $11 million plant that was described as a model for many more in the future. The plant will be fueled exclusively with Canadian uranium...
