Durham Pleased With ,German Agreement, Scores Political Use CongrjTssittSh Carl T. Durham termed the controversial Dixon. Yates contract as ''ridiculous' arid" ♦predicted the current world sit uation between forces espousing the Democratic and Communist ideals Will remain about as at present “for a good many years” if we keep up our defenses as we have since*shortly after the mnd i f the war in an address before the Hillsboro Lions Club Tuesday night. ! He described the recent agree ment to. bring Western Germany mto...ide . fold . of Western Euro asset to the stability^ of Western Europe.”. He generally avoided the dis-, cussior. of partisan polities other than to deplore the attempt of the President and his group to capitalize on the West German agreement in a political way. Congressman Durham traced tpe development of atomic ener gy from 1935 when a group or, seven men obtained a patent (for vvhieh they were paid $300,000 by the government) for their theory of splitting the aton>r- "They.did pioneer work,” he said, “but, there is no clear-cut claim as to who should be credited with the de velopment of atomic weapons— sc many had a hand in the proj ect.” 1 “We knew more than 10 years > • .• » ■ ■ ago that the hydrogen bomb could be developed,” he said, "and the charged.made in some quarters that the'hydrogen bonVb ■ was two years behind schedule is utterly without foundation.” j ■Today the armed services are! spending $1,^00,000,000 in re-' search, and “the Atomic Energy Commission alone has 2,300 con tacts with various institutions and organizations. One difficulty, is that the government supervises: and controls these projects,., the1 congressman said. » -I .Tie described. ' ut cellent.” One purpose of the act, | h< said;'Was to get atomic energy back in the hands of civilians. Stressing the importance of atomic energy for peacetime uses, he said that during the next 10 years ‘we are going to see atomic energy produce more and more for peacetime uses. We have al. ready witnessed the amazing ap plication of atomic energy to air planes, submarines and other means of transportation, and we expect to see it used soon in rail reads and stedfripships. “Today unlimited-vistas are be medicine, industry and agriculture ing opened up in the fields of through thg applicationof atomic j energy. There is scarcely a facet of our complex civilization that the atom does nut touch.” I Light Voting Predicted For Democrats Are Opposed For Next /Tuesday, November 2, is •Motion day in Orange” County The day will climax a brief flurry of political activity which got underway in earnest this week after a lapse of several»months since the June second primary.
