On some oocuio it has op- peared that people "in the know" have made slips in public. But most discussion has concerned formal statements which one o;- another lawmaker thinks should have been kept secret.

Some peopla take the view that. beyond‘ the necessary exchange of "information betlween A m 8r 1 0 B- Y1 scientists and technicians. nothing "should be published. Their view is ‘that you can never tell what bit of ‘information may provide a missing ilink in the research of possible 19118111185.

‘ others fear the "atlomic age" will be slowed unless all possible Information is made available to leseamhers everywhere. ‘there is also some argument for publication of atomic progress as notice of the strength of the United States for me benefit of anyone who ought be cuntoznplating war. 'I‘llill‘:dlly's report on an airplane engine pro- ject might fall into this class. Howard Blakeslee, science editor of the.

Several recent announce- ments have been criticized. ‘ One involved atomic breeder pow- ior plants. These are plants which the scientists hope will produce lmore atom-splitting fuel than they bum.

The possible military angle hero '13 that unless breeding succeeds the atomic age may be limited by ‘the amount of natural atomic metal available. I

Before that Dr. Bachcr had an- nounced some new metals. which may be the building materials of the future.

Dr. Escher did not name the metals.

The Atomic Plnergy Commission's tfifrhrsemi-annual r9190“ in Jam!- rary said that. methods have been developed for testing the metal zirconium to see whether it ans- wers some of these atomic pile problems.
