She said another basic reason for being uninformed is that many persons feel they are already edu cated just because they have a degree. In urging the AAUW to be in formed on current affairs, Miss Gross cautioned that the citizen of the future "is going to be less informed unless he looks for in formation.

Thum, editor of “Metals Progress,” last Tuesday pointed out to a meeting of the American Society for Metals the problems which must be solved in order to build reactors capa ble of efficiently producing atom ic energy. Thum, who is also chairman of a working committee of the Atomic Energy commission, said that the possibilities of atomic power are important and he ex pects that reactors necessary for its utilization will be in opera tion within ten to 15 years. He also said that while atomic power plants will not replace steam power plants for the gen eration of electricity in regions where coal is cheap, it will be of immense value for areas where coal is scarce and for power plants on submarines, warships, and long range bombers.
