SALT LAKE CITY, Utah There are two reasons that the United States flaunts only 16 com pleted atomic reactors. One is be cause the government cannot spare precious uranium for would-be private experiments. The other is because the reac tors themselves are so infernally expensive to construct and install. Two years ago, however, North Carolina State College broke through the first barrier. With $300,000 building capital and a supply of uranium salts fuel loan ed by the Atomic Energy Com mission with its blessing, the col lege began work on the world's first privately owned and operat- if If p.

Pot Build Atomic Reactor 'Nuclear Tech' Class tackle design problems and tackle ed atomic pile, and expects to complete it by. next summer. Last week, the University of Utah announced that it had over come the second obstacle. Utah, too received AEC permision to buil,d a collegiate reactor. But its baby would require no third of a million dollars to build and install. Instead it would cost a piddling $50,000 no more than the price of constructing a good four-bedroom house. To cut construction costs, chief planner Lyle B. Borst decided to recruit brains and labor from the campus itself. Graduate students electing his uniquely practical "Nuclear Technology" course will Spivalz s ' Willi Ploy Charlie Spivak, the man who furnished music for Raleigh's re cent Debutante Ball will bring his orchestra here on November 7 for the Fall Germans. The group will give a concert in Memorial Hall in the after noon and play for the Woollen Gym dance later that evening. "With the Virginia game the next day, plus the fact that it's also Homecoming day, this should give us the biggest and best week end of the quarter," German Club President Bryant Hair said yester day in announcing the event. Spivak, whose publicity terms him as playing the "sweetest trumpet in the world", is one of the few name bandleaders who Grants For TV May Be Made To Carolina The University Communications Center may soon receive funds to enable it to expand its present fa cilities. It is now under considera tion as a key station for the "pro duction programs designed to dis seminate liberal education among the masses. The Communications Center was visited yesterday by Mrs. Ann Spinney .executive associate of the Fund For Adult Education. The fund was established in April, 1951, by the Ford Foundation as a medium for studying the extent of present liberal education in the United States. The Ford Foundation this sum mer appropriated about $5,000 000 to the fund. This money is being used to enlarge on the ac tivity already underway. Mrs. Spinney said the fund carries on most of its work and research through other institutions. Should Carolina be selected as one of the key stations sites, the Communications Center will re ceive finances which it may use to - buy the capital equipment needed in the production of the programs.

There is no charge. the actual construction itself. It will be part of a year-long class project. To physicists and ambitious ed ucators alike, the university's schemes seemed a triumph of hu man ingenuity over the facts of life. Like its North Carolina relative, the Utah reactor will be a small water-boiler model fashioned af ter the $25,000,000 installation at Los Alamos. But unlike North Carolina's, the new "hot pot" will not steam along in specially constructed $2000,000 quarters. Instead it will be embedded in a 15-by 10-foot concrete shield and housed in an abandoned campus movie house. IP Sweetest For Fall CHARLIE SPIVAK T M5T N BRIE PITTSBURGH Secretary of State Dean Acheson said yester day there are signs Russia is junking its policy of "pressure" and "open aggression" in favor of one aimed at dividing .the United, States and its allies through "in sidious . . . boring from within." Speaking before the CIO Inter national Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, Acheson de clared there must not be the "slightest relaxation" in the Allied defense drive even though the world would naturally "welcome" any step by the Soviets that would reduce the danger of hostility.

I7 r? fT p p yjj JJJ $850,000 Will Be Spent On Structure Building Location Planned For Behind Carolina Theater By Bob Slough The big new $850,000 Wil liam H. Ackland Memorial Art building moved a step closer to completion yesterday afternoon. This new development came after Controller William D. Carmichael Jr. suggested to Chancellor Robert B. House that plans for the proposed art mus eum be accelerated. The University was designated as the site for the art building in 1948 when the United States Cir cuit Court of Appeals reversed an earlier decision of the lower courts to give the $1,500,000 Ack land bequest to Rollins College of Florida. Originally drawn up in 1938, the will left the money to Duke University, but the bequest was subsequently refused. An earlier will designated that the money be left to either Duke University, the University of North Carolina or Rollins College. The money was invested in 1948 and has been drawing inter est since that time. "It seems to me we should im mediately reach some decision as to the exact size and location of this building together with a de termination of the size and loca tion of the future Playmakers' Theatre," Carmichael said in a memorandum to the Building Committee. "It now looks as though $850, 000 to $900,000 will be available for the Ackland Building," Car michael said. "The remaining funds, under the terms of Mr. Ackland's will remains in trust." These funds will be expanded for art purchases and teaching ac tivities calculated to broaden the understanding and appreciation of the fine arts throughout this section of the country, he added. Site for the proposed building probably will be on Columbia St. behind the Carolina Theatre. The Playmakers' Theatre will be lo cated nearby. Gray Will Direct Freedom Crusade Gordon Gray, president of the Consolidated University, has ac cepted appointment as state chairman of the 1952 Crusade for Freedom campaign in North Car olina.

The 1952 campaign will take place from November 11 to Dec ember 15. It will also support Ra dio Free Asia, as well as give Americans the chance to person ally participate in the struggle against Communism by enabling them to send "Freedom-gram" messages behind the Iron Curtain.
