LONDON. Aux. S-(OM-Brit- ons have their fingers crossed, hoping that Prime Minister Attlee will pull the rabbit of economic salvation out of the ha; 1n we House of Commons this week.

If he does lt'will be the best political achievement of the cen- tury. Observers say.

The state of the country is to he debated in the Commons Wednes-

day and Thursday. The Govern- ment will explain what steps it proposes for averting hardships

already in prospect when the Un- ited states and Canadian loans run out before the year's end.

Look to Dominions

There is a feeling among Brit- ons that both the commonwealth self-governing and colonial terri- tories are moat likely to provide the emergency assistance Britain must have to maintain even her reduced rations until the Marshall plan or United States assistance in some other form is available- and until the general world stp- ply position eases.

1f the Dominions can ship more from their this year's harvests snd livestock production. the stern is- tlonlng and heightened prodde- tron methods Britain will employ at least will ease the situaztur. The Food Ministry has hopes that Europe soon will be able to sell more food for which Britain can pay in soft currency.

The Predictions

Outside the inner ring of sec- recy, well-informed circles predict-- ed a return of wartime labor con- trol. supervised allocation of raw materials up channel manpower and favor export over home pro- duction, relentless sclssorlng of canned food imports (possibly linked with rationing of meals in restaurants). a big cut in the oriv- ate gasoline ration, acceleration of armed forces demobilization to the peacetime level and pressure on a request to the United States to pay for a larger share of imports needed to feed western Germany.

These and other measures. such as a reduction in the value of ra- tion coupons for clothing and a slowing down of the housing pro- gram. were said to be most closely in line with Government inten-

tions. ____-_-—- OPEN LAND T0 SETTLERB

OAK RIDGE, Temp. Aug. 3- (AP)- “Great achievements" in medicine, biology and industry have already been made with peacetime products of the United states atomic energy program, a reportlssued by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission declared to- day.

The report gave the first sum- mary of progress in research con- ducted in institutions throughout the country since a year ago to- day. That was when “radioisotopes” produced at this important site in A-bomb development first were re- leased for sale and distribution to outside investigators.

“Radioisotope? are Judie-active. or “ruff-emitting. forms of com- mon and rare elements. They are produced in the same kind of uranium chain-reacting oven that can produce plutonium for atomic bombs.

They can be used as atomic "labels" or “tracers" for the study of many chemical. physical. bio- logical and industrial processes important to man. In some cases they serve as means of furnishing direct radiation in the treatment of certain diseases. As “tracer" materials. their presence can be detected by delicate instruments.

The report:

l. Tells of development of a new aid for the study of can- cer production; and of new possibilities for directing rays against cancerous tissue in specific areas of the body.

2. Describes use of certain radlolsotopes in treating forms of chronic leukemia (a disease in which there is an excess of white cells in the blood): Hodgklns’ disease (a malady characterized by enlargement
