Atom Rockets
GENEVA, UP> — The United
States this fall will conduct tests
aimed at developing atom-pow
ered space rockets and airplines,
an American scientist reported
Saturday.
The tests will be made with
small atomic reactors which hold
promise of being fitted into rock
ets and planes, said Dr. H. L. Rey
nolds of the University of Cali
fornia.
Small reactors have been devel
oped with uranium cores less than
a foot in diameter, Dr. Reynolds
told the Atoms-for-Pcace con
ference.
The next step is to generate
more power from them, which
could, for example, heat hydrogen
or other gases to supply the
thrust for a rocket.
Tests of this nature are sched
uled in Nevada this fall on a
reactor developed at the Los Ala
mos, N. M., scientific laboratory.
Other tests will be made on a
reactor developed at the radia
tion laboratory at Livermore,
Calif., he said.
Dr. Reynolds indicated a prac
tical power plant is some time
off. He said the present reactors
are not prototypes.

secretary for mission work in
Alaska, served notice yesterday
as he arrived for a conference of
home mission leaders of the United
Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.
“Where may I find a doctor?”
he asked as he arrived.
“Are yoii ill?” inquired Dr. J.
Hoytt Boies, greeting the visitor
as a Texas synod executive.
“No,” grinned the Alaskan. “I’m
suffering from claustrophobia.”
Jackman was in Nome in July,
with a group of Presbyterians.
