The Soviet Union vetoed the
British-French program in the Se

Mollet Faces Criticism
On His Algerian Policy
PARIS, Oct. 17 UP) —Premier
• Guy Mollet boldly faced criticism
'in the National Assembly today
on his Algerian policy.
The Assembly’s leftists are
against the Mollet government’s
strong use of force to put down
the Algerian Nationalist rebellion.
And although Mollet and his min
isters were put in office with the
help of Communist votes, they
now-seem certain of getting a vote
of confidence without leftist sup
port.
Mollet Rebukes Communists
_ Mollett himself took the offen
sive against the Communists in
the Assembly by rebuking the
wife of party boss Maurice Thorez,
Jeannette Vermeersch, a member
®f the Assembly. She defended a
French officer candidate who went
ever to the rebels. Mollet told her:
“The Assembly is always toler
ant, but it is impossible to apolo-

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
ference the President reached the
decision early this morning, and
that the statement of the admini
stration’s views will be released in
Washington next week.
Adlai Would Halt Tests
Stevenson, in the Democratic
campaign for the presidency, re
peatedly has called for a halt in
the testing of superbombs. Mon
day night in Chicago, he said “if
elected president. I would count it
in the first order of business” to
consult with Great Britain and
Kussia on how the atomic tests
could be stopped.
Eisenhower told a news confer
ence in Washington last week that
he had spoken his “last word”
both on the H-bomb and on the
military draft.
But Stevenson’s speech Monday
night changed the President’s
mind.
President Challenges
“The President feels,” Hagerty
said, “that since Mr. Stevenson
has rasied this again, and in his
speech made what we believe to
be extraordinary statements, we
have asked our people in Wash
ington to prepare a qomplete his
tory in this field.”
Later, in answering a question,
Hagerty said because of what he
called “these incorrect statements,
we decided to set the record
straight.” At no time would Hag
erty say what statements the
President considered “extraordi
nary” or “incorrect.”
3 Top Men to Report
Hagerty said Atomic Energy
Commission Chairman Lewis
Strauss, Secretary of Defense Wil
son and Secretary of State Dulles
would draft the report, and that
it would be issued as a “govern
ment paper.”
And would this paper then be
come the last word, a reporter
asked?
“I wouldn’t know,” Hagerty
said with a grin.
gize for a French officer turned
traitor. Apology for treason is in
conceivable.”
The Premier was applauded on
this by all but the Communist
deputies.
Vole of Confidence
The vote on Mollet’s demand for
confidence next week will cover
not only his Algerian policy, but
his government's course in the
Suez crisis and many domestic is
sues.
The day’s debate, however, was
confined to policies and operations
in Algeria.
Most of the Premier’s critics
were right wingers demanding not
only use of even stronger force
against the rebels but also action
against what they called defeatist
newspapers in France.

Israel's Premier
Reaffirms Policy
On Jordan Issue
JERUSALEM, Oct. 17 (IP)—Pre
mier David Ben-Gurion today re
affirmed Israel’s “freedom of ac
tion” if Iraqian troops move into
Jordan. Signs increased of a tense
tug-of-war over the future of that
desert kingdom.
Friend of Nasser Speaks
In Cairo, a friend of Egyptian
President Nasser accused Iraqian
Premier Nuri Said of “engineer
ing a plot” to extend the pro-
Western, anti-Communist Bagh
dad Pact to Jordan and Syria and
eventually to overthrow the
Egyptian government.
The English-Language Jerusa
lem Post, which often reflects the
thinking of the Israeli govern
ment, said the chances of survival
of Jordan as an independent king
dom were “very slender.”
Premature Optimism Seen
Ben-Gurion, summing up a two
day foreign policy debate in Par
liament, said Iraq’s decision to
postpone sending army forces in
to Jordan and other developments
along the tense Jordan-Israeli
border the last two days were
favorable. But he warned against
what he called premature opti
mism, and said Nasser, “the Fas
cist dictator of Egypt,” was Is
rael’s most dangerous enemy.
Britain Warns Jordan
. Britain warned Jordan,* her
partner in a 20-year alliance, that
the British would not be dragged
automatically into war with Is
rael. A London Foreign Office
spokesman said Britain would
have to satisfy berself Jordan was
the innocent victim of aggression
before carrying out the terms cf
the alliance, and that the deci
sion would be made by the gov
ernment in London, not by local
British commanders in Jordan.
Potassium Stirs
Cancer Growth
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 17 (tP) —Dr.
Max A. Goldzreher of New York
said today that potassium, a
chemical ingredient allegedly
used in pills of the Hoxsey can
cer treatment method, is “bound
to stimulate cancer growth.”
The body chemistry expert test
ified as a government witness at
a Federal Court trial in which the
government seeks permission to
destroy a half million pills seized
at the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic at
Portage, Pa.

English Open First
Atomic Power Plant
CALDER HALL, England, Oct. 17 (/P) Britain today
switched on atomic power to cook the family supper—and
launched the second industrial revolution.
“We are present at the making of history,” said Queen
Elizabeth II as she moved a lever at the world’s first full
scale atomic power plant.
Scientists and ambassadors
from many lands witnessed the
event.
Auditors Named
For 'Pike' Books
HARRISBURG. Oct. 17 (#)— j
Price Waterhouse and Company'

ed to make the independent
'thorough” audit of books of the
Pennsylvania Turnpike Commis

Leader.
In addition, Chairman G. Frank
lin McSorley said the internation
ally known firm of accountants
will “recommend a complete re
vision, over haul and moderniza
tion of tne entire internal account
ing system” of the agency.
Last month Gov. Leader urged
the commission to have the check
made because of charges con
tained in a Justice Department
request for a grand jury investi
gation of the operation of the com
mission under former Republi
can control.
McSorley said the commission
set aside $50,000 to cover the cost
cf the audit but that “the job will
cost less.”
PRR Denies Any
'Anti-truck' Action
In Federal Court
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 17 (JP)—
A former president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad denied on the
witness stand today that any PRR
officials engaged in “anti-truck ac
tivities” and insisted that he, him
self, was “probably the best friend
trucks ever had.”
Martin Clement headed Amer
ica’s biggest railroad for 13 years
until 1949 and was chairman of'
the PRR board until 1952. j
He testified in U.S. District!
Court during the civil trial of]
anti-trust counter damage suits’
totalling 370 million dollars
brought by trucking interests and
eastern railroads against one an
other.
Clement, questioned by Harold
E. Kohn. trucker attorney, said
“I do not object to trucks. I never 1
have ...”
Earlier, Clement testified that
the Eastern Railroad Presidents
Conference had no authority over,
the railroads that belonged to it.

The housewife in England’s
north could not note the differ
ence. But many a workman came
home tonight to supper cooked
with electricity generated by
uranium fuel rods at Calder Hall.
Atom Producing Steam
The atom, with its awesome
meaning in war, now was tamely
producing steam which drove a
turbine generating electricity.
Calder Hall took its place as an
other feeding station for the
country’s electricity network.
The contribution to the network
was not large.
Calder Hall’s production was
46,000 kilowatts of the nation’s
20.300,000 kilowatts. By next
March, when the second half of
the power station here is com
pleted, the continuous output will
be 90,000 kilowatts.
Atom to Replace Coal. Oil
Scientists forecast, however,
that by 1975 all new power sta
tions in Britain will be of the
atomir type instead of those using
coal and oil.
Calder Hall is a 47Vz-million
dollar project located on a bleak
spot in Cumberland. It takes a
page in history as the first big
nation-wide project of its kind.
The Russians claim to have an
atomic power plant, but it is not
connected to the Soviet national
network.
Pennsylvania. Site of U.S. Plant
The first full-scale atomic elec
tric plant of the United States
is nearing completion at Ship
pingport, Pa. The U.S. Atomic
Energy Comimssion is spending
forty fillion dollars and the -Du
quesne Light Co. five million on
a pressurized-water reactor there
to generate 60,000 kilowatts of
electricity for the company's
Greater Pittsburgh power sys
tem.
Queen Elizabeth said of the
Calder Hall project:
“It may well prove to have
been among .the greatest of our
contributions to human welfare
that we led the way in demon
strating the peaceful uses of this
new source of power.”
