For the White Flame

Thomas E. Murray, 63, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, in a speech last week warned that Soviet Russia might soon create nuclear power plants for power-starved lands, and called on the U.S. for an all-out competitive effort "to put atomic power plants into operation, both here and abroad." For the first grant of a nuclear power reactor, Commissioner Murray suggested Japan--"the only land which has been engulfed in the white flame of the atom. Now, while the memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains so vivid, construction of such a power plant in . . . Japan would be a dramatic and Christian gesture . . . a lasting monument to our technology and our good will. We would demonstrate to a grim, skeptical and divided world that our interest in nuclear energy is not confined to weapons."
