Peaceful Atomic Energy
Harmful, Churchman Says
Peaceful uses of atomic energy are not necessarily harm
less uses of atomic energy, acording to Dr. Elf an Rees of the
Commission of the Churches on International Affairs.
"It is our generation tha
death of future generations,"
1500 worshippers at Sunday Chap
el set vice.
lie described as an escape me
chanism the widespread thinking
about peaceful uses of nuclear
energy as an alternative to war.
But he said such peaceful uses
cannot be harmless until man is
shielded from all radiation.
"Scientists have warned that
in genetics there is no such
thing as a safe dose of radia
tion," he said.
Dr Rees, ordained into the min
istry of the Congregational
Chinch in 1930, is permanent rep
resentative in Europe of the Com
mission of the Churches on Inter
national Affairs. Every year since
1950 he has attended sessions of
the UN General Assembly as a
representative of the commission.
Concerning nuclear war, Dr.
Rees called fear of the conse
quences much more a deterrent
to war today than is the hope
of world peace.
He said: "To the Christian, war
has only ever been justifiable as /
the lesser of two evils . . . (But)

mittee charged with laying out
specific details for a general long
range plan already approved by
the Board of Trustees.
Among the possibilities for
new instructional programs Wy
and mentioned nuclear physics,
biophysics, veterinary medicine
and public administration.
Places are already being con
sidered for the sites for new
centers, he said. '
"All of these matters are being
given formal consideration by au
thorized University agencies and
committees," Wyand said. "The
committee has been instructed to
catalyze such activities and do
what it can to coordinate the
findings for President Walker's
consideration."
Wyand's committee was for
merly the long-range committee
which made the generalized plans
for University expansion.
"Our first concern," he said,
"is to make certain that exist
ing resources are being used to
optimum advantage. Budgetary
pressures are such that the on
ly way the University will be
able to raise salaries, maintain
standards and perform its grow
ing task is to start with a deck
cleared for action."
Wyand said that faculty and
staff cooperation in this task is
very important
is playing with the genetic
Dr. Rees told approximately
future war can never be the lesser
of two evils . . . Our dilemma is
to strive for peace and . freedom
without destroying them in the
search."
In this sense, he said, the church
has not realized its task as "the
only non-political arena" where
these goals may be promoted.
"The temptation of our age is
that we have power nuclear
power—and might use it." Dr.
Rees said. "We know enough to
know that atomic warfare can
involve world suicide."
He described the atomic age as
an age of fear. "I don't think
that there ever has been before
so many frightened p e o p 1 e, so
many frightened governments, so
many frightened politicians," he
said.
Dr. Rees called Christians woe
fully ill-informed on problems
facing the world. He said, "We
have a grave Christian responsi
bility to know and say where we
stand—on atomic warfare, on
atomic tests and even on the
peaceful use of atomic energy."

Russians Lead U.S.
In Language Studies
There are one thousand times as many Russians studying
English as there are Americans studying Russian, Dr. Carroll
D. Champlin, emeritus professor of education, said yesterday.
Speaking at the Faculty Luncheon Club meeting, Champ
lain gave 20 million as the number of Russians who study
English and 20,000 as the number
of Americans studying Russian.
In the last five years, he said,
Russia has spent $4OO million on
the University of Moscow alone.
He compared this figure with the
$l7O million spent on the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania and Temple
University combined. In addition,
Russia proposes -to spend $1 bil
lion on education, in the next 15
years, he said.
The number of volumes in the
library of the University of Len
ingrad has been increased to four
million, Champlin said. He com
pared this number to the com
bined total of three million vol
umes in the University library,

the libraries of Temple Univer
sity, the University of Pennsyl
vania, and the University of Pitts
burgh.
Champlin also discussed the
difficulties we have in dealing
with other countries. He blamed
this in part on the differences in
standards of living, ,customs and
traditions among other things.
"It is difficult for us to under
stand enough to keep friendly re
lations with other countries," he
said. From his own experiences
he said he has found that there
is a lot to know even about the
English whose language and cus
toms are•so similar to our own.
