BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor Idaho Falls, Idaho, Nov. 21—(A 1 ) —The first atomic reactor- on the vast, new Snake River plains site of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com mission is nearing completion. On this new oven depend the main hopes for atomic power and possibly most of the heralded bless ings of an atomic age. This reactor, called a breeder pile, is designed for a brilliant, daring and still somewhat doubt ful scientific venture, namely to create fuel. At. present there is not enough atomic fuel in the entire world for more than trans itory power. This new work is strictly peace, and it has been rapid. The Snake River site is only a year old. It is an undulating, treeless, 400,000- acre expanse of sage brush and ancient lava, with no volcanoes among the bordering mountains. Two otheF reactors already are started, for naval power and test ing materials. The trio are all but COFFCC CtMIAtlM: right this minute...roaster-ffesh/ tkxuiiK upr You'll exam more •tudy ioto each night jenion by taking time oat Oust sec onds!) fox the quick “lift” of Nescafe*.

The size is a secret. However, the breeder’s an nounced cost, $3,300,000 marks it as a small brother in a family of giants. The other two are costing respectively $26,000,000 and $18,000,000. The spectre of defeat which the breeder will try to correct showed up in the great Hanford Works plants in Washington.

The suggestion came from Char les R. Sligh, Jr., Holland, Michigan, representing the National Associa tion of Manufacturers. Despite a committee ban against discussion of anything except an excess profits tax, the NAM got its alternative proposal into the House ways and means committee record. What Sligh did was to advise the committee its records contained an inaccurate description of the NAM proposal. He then explained the inaccuracy and quoted the As sociations’ tax program. Knights of Columbus Plan Thursday Meeting The Knights of Columbus will hold an open meeting Thursday, at 7:30 p. m. in the basement of St. Mary's Chapel. All Catholic men interested in becoming a member or would like information about KC activities are requested to attend, announced S. M. McCarthy, reporter. Plans for a membership drive for a first degree class on January 14, will be discussed, he added. reat reserva- | split to convert ordinary uranium 1 into plutonium, which is new atomic fuel. The spectre is the fact that the uranium-235 at Hanford creates less plutonium than the amount of 235 which splits. There isn’t much uranium-235, not enough to keep up this losing- race. Somehow the uraniuin-235; before it is all gone, has to be forced to breed like animals— where one sire produces two off spring. In this case, one atom must breed more than one. If that is done, it will be possible to convert ali the world’s ordinary uranium into plutonium, and there is enough for power almost indefi nitely. When solved, plutonium will do the breeding, probably even bet ter than uranium. This breeder will produce some power. It has several new techni cal features, exciting to scientists, such as using the same kind of high-speed neutrons that explode atomic bombs, and molten metal as the firebox to make steam. Enli*y Box Overflows A&M Film Society Sees Second Show Approximately 225 members of the A&M Film Society saw the second program in a series of eight, offered by the organization this year. Movies featured in the program were “Civilization” and “Last of the Line.” The two films, produced by Tho mas Ince, a pioneer movie maker, showed their age only too well, Herman Gollob, president of the organization this year, said last night. Both were released immed iately prior to World War I.

QB Club Contest Judging Strenous By ROGER COSLETT Entry blanks—hundreds and hun dreds of entry blanks. And just two tickets on the 50-yard line for the A&M-TU football game. At the 5 p.m. Friday deadline of the Quarterback Club Contest last week the entry box was over flowing. The job of judging the contest seemed to be superhuman. Everyone of the entries seemed to be a sure winner. The judges visualized themselves bending over adding and calculat ing machines determining the win ner of the two ducats. That was Friday night. Saturday night the story was en tirely different. The seemingly im possible had happened. A&M lost. A quick glance at the first 30 en tries made the job seem quite sim ple. Thirty out of the first 30 had picked A&M to win. Monday night the judges hur riedly scanned through what seemed to be an endless flow of Vesper Service Series Underway The Baptist Student Union will continue vesper services tonight, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights at the Baptist Student Cen ter, Eddie Apel, vesper chairman, said yesterday. The services will be held from 7:15 until 7:45 p.m. except on yell practice nights. On those nights they will start immediately after the yell practice. Arthur M. Smith, professor of bible, will conduct a bible study on Monday evenings, while the Tues day night programs will be plan ned, prepared, and presented by students. David K. Alexander, director of the BSU, will lead a seminar on “Vital Christian Issues” Thursday evenings. Pastors of Bryan and College Station area churches will speak on Friday evenings. Christmas -■ (Continued from Page 2) sets have been sent already. With one went this message: “Just a tribute to your cooking, darling.” Another soldier asked that his card read: “Here’s that China you always wanted, mom.” Troops are remembering each other through “Operation Santa Claus” too. Two buddies had the same idea for each other—candy. One directed this message: “This will sure taste good wherever you are.” The other said: “Merry Christmas, pal. Try this with your beans and sausage.” Even in Japan—where men can do their own shopping—the serv ices of “Operation Santa Claus” are in demand. One young soldier nervously cleared his throat and asked a shopper’s advice in getting paja mas “for a girl just about your size, the way I figure.” Anyway, if you receive a Christ mas present from your man in Korea along with a card written in feminine hand, don’t he alarmed.
