Power-Hungry. With the money it raises, TVA has ambitious plans to supply extra power for its rapidly developing area. This week it opened bids on two proposed 800,000 kw.-capacity steam generators for a new plant in Tennessee. (TVA began to build steam generators in the 1940s after it had heavily developed the hydro power of the rivers, now uses two-thirds steam.) Part of the first $50 million will be used for two new power units at Melton Hill Dam, Tenn., scheduled to be completed in 1963. Other funds will go to a new steam plant...
...week went to work on the foundations of a radically new type of nuclear power plant for California's giant Pacific Gas & Electric Co. The reactor will be underground, thus eliminating the need for the expensive protective dome; it will incorporate new advances in design to produce more steam, thus increasing capacity. By 1964, when the second fuel core has been phased in, the reactor's generating capacity will reach about 60,000 kw. When it does, the plant is expected to break the cost barrier, become the world's first nuclear power station to produce electricity...
After this lavish warm-up, Kennedy turned on all his political steam: he said he had come to New York "without an escort" and quipped that Tom Dewey was out in California "giving Dick Nixon some last-minute advice on strategy." "You all know the elephants in the circus--little imagination and long memory--how each hangs on to the tail of the one in front.

...there comes a time when every committee must interrupt the harmless progress of its research with a report, and here the White House kettle once again obscures the windows with a heavy cloud of steam. The recommendations of the Draper report, many of which were very sound, were apparently never considered, for there is no reflection of them in the President's foreign aid programs. Everybody knows what happened to the Gaither Report; it was locked away for fear, in Herblock's words, that people who read it might "die of happiness." Vice-President Nixon's report, a frankly partisan...
