The power failure apparently was a cumulative thing. —

For five straight days, New York had been sweltering. A¢ air conditioners and other electrical equipment were utilized against the heat, demands on Consoli- dated Edison Company's power fatilities mounted

Big Step Seen In Atom’s Use

WASHINGTON (AP) US. Navy scientists Tuesday claimed a-major step toward harnessing the H-bob reaction for peace- time power.

But one of them said it would be 20 to 40 years before such power would be obtained on a practical, economic scale.

The navy amplified on a re- port made Monday night by one of its scientists concerning some new developments in the field of controlled thermonuclear, or fu-

a statement:

“An important milestone has; been reached in the process of obtaining useful power from the almost unlimited supply of energy locked in the nuclei of deuterium, the ‘most abundant form of ‘heavy’ hydrogen. Deuteriumis available in all the waters of the world.”

The statement was issued at a press conference held by Dr. Robert Page, director of re- search, Dr. C. V. Strain, super- intendent of the radiation divi- sion, and Dr.:W. R. Faust—all of the naval research laboratory.

The scientists said they be. lieved experiments conducted by Dr. Alan Kolb of their laborator- ies have achieved the long-sought laboratory version of a controlled thermonuclear reaction.
