First Atomic Reactor Pile
Nears Completion in Idaho
By HOWARD W. 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

The commission announced that
the breeder would be completed by
, the end of this year, but has given
no specific dates since. 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.

breeder will try to correct showed

‘Defense Tax’
Suggested By
Big Business
Washington, Nov. 21—
(A P) — Organized business
suggested today that a “de
fense tax” on top of corpor
ate income levies be substit
uted for the administration’s ex
cess profits tax proposal.
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.

A&M Film Society
Sees Second Show
Approximately 225 members of
the A&M Film Society saw the

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

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.
He’s done it all by remote con
trol.

entry blanks. In 15 minutes the
job was complete. Entry Blanks,
some 966 of them lay strewn on
The Battalion floor.
The search was over and only
three contestants stood a chance of
winning.
The ballot of the first contestant,
that of Jack Welch, an employee of
the A&M Print Shop, proved to be
72 points off the actual score.
Welch was winner of a contest
earlier in the season.
Paul Cardeihae, junior veteri

peared on the entry blank num
ber two. His guess was 41 points
off. While still off, it was close
enough for him to win the sec
ond place pipe set.
The remaining ballot was that
of J. G. McNeely, member of the
Ag. Eco. department. His guess
came within 22 points, of the actual
score and netted him two tickets
to the “Turkey Day Classic!”
