Progress is slow on atomic power, Lilienthal warns
Detroit October 8 AP David E Lilienthal said the atomic power industry is far from ready for practical use and will supplement rather than replace existing energy, with demonstration power within 12 to 24 months but no large scale commercial plants soon. He warned against delaying sound expansion of the electrical industry and dismissed hopes of Europe solving fuel problems with atomic secrets.

About 27 500 people attended the final day at Danbury Fair grounds, boosting this year’s nine day crowd past 160 000, similar to last year.
