VND, Wuh.—Ttw Vnltrd atomic energy commission
Itiated a construction pro-f new community facilities, process plant*, research

operations will be made public.
The General Electric company has the contract for process development, design, and construction. Negotiations with sub-contractors have started, and work will get under way as soon as possible.
A major part of the program will be the installation of chemical processing plants, for which considerable development work remains to be done following research work performed at the Ar-gonne National laboratory, Chi-
cago, subsequent to the construction of the Hanford works. Other work in the manufacturing areas is based on studies of operations begun by DuPont, which operated the War Department’s Manhattan project. These studies were announced last September, when the operation of the Hanford Engineer works was transferred to General Electric.
The town of Richland, residential area of the 630-square mile reservation, will be substantially
affected by the addition of new homes, new schools, hospitals, commercial buildings, and other community services. The construction program also Includes shops, utilities, water, water treatment and pumping systems, and other service structures. . ..
Construction activity at Hanford mants one of the first steps in the atomic energy commission’s long-range plan of developing atomic energy for military and peace-time applications. The plan
fof the work was appioved by th< general advisory commiuee, nine-man scientific and technical consultant group, established in tht atomic energy act. and is undertaken with concurrence of the military liaison committee, statutory liaison apency between the commission and the armed forces. Principal details of the program were outlined to the members of the Joint congressional committee on atomic energy In a meeting at the atomic energy commission offices in June, 1947.

Hurwitz forsakes ‘flatfoot’ roles

Diplomatic emergency seen in Greek - Albanian flare-up
Forewarning that the United Nations Security Council may soon be faced with its greatest test, Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, and Dr. Ross Berkes, assistant professor of international relations, yesterday contended that the Greek, Albania flare-up has “drastically" heightened the Balkan crisis and may well be the prologue to a serious diplomatic emergency.
Basis for their contentions was,-»-

jitudenW failing In 10-week Irses must drop them before ly IS to avoid *u F for the
late dispatches from the “tinder-box" Balkans yesterday that Greek government forces were battling an army of 2500 guerrillas,
“The situation is or the greatest seriousness,” said Dr. Harley, “and it is up to the great powers of the world, especially the United States and Russia, to carefully appraise their policies lest they not only fail to calm Greece’s political strife but also cripple the UN by non-use and neglect.”
Dr. Harley emphasised that the greatest need of the moment was to arrest the tendency to take important decisions outside the framework of the UN security council and to cultivate the habit of utilizing the machinery of the UN for as many international problems as possible.
Both Dr. Harley and Dr. Berkes hesitated to attribute the blame for the present “clash” in the Balkans to any one power or sphere of influence, however, but the latter did advance his belief that the problem is an age-old one resulting from the many ideological conflicts previous to and following World War II.
“There is no outstanding evidence present in tlie Balkan picture that points directly to any one culprit nation,” Dr. Berkes said. “However, the Balkan commission of the UN recently reported Its investigations of the turmoil in Greece to the security council, and the resulting vote overwhelmingly confirmed its thesis of outside intervention
“The steadfast opposition of Russia to acceptance of the commission’s findings,” Dr. Berkes continued, “will be a critical test of the UN organisation."
CAI continues twin atom film showings
The great mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki will burst with all their fury from the screen of 309 Bridge as the Council on Atomic Implications continues its showings of “Tale of Two Cities” and “Seeds of Destiny,” prize-winning films, at 2:30 each afternoon during
the week.
Lecturer to give third history talk
Dr. Enrique S. de Lozada, a member of the United Nations secretariat, will give the third in a series of lectures sponsored by the department of history and by the Los Angeles University of International Relations Thursday at 3:15 p.m. in the art and lecture room of University library. His lecture is entitled “Internationalism and Regionalism.”
Dr. de Lozada, who is teaching in the SC Summer Session during a leave of absence from the UN, has a career behind him which includes 14 years in the diplomatic service and advisory service under Nelson A. Rockefeller, coordinator of inter-American affairs.
He will weave his talk around the “Pan-American system as an extension of religionalism and the way in wliich that system fits into a pattern of world internationalism.’*
Jim Roberts, secretary-general of the CAI, has announced that the showings will be open to all interested students, as well as to present members of the council.
Both films have been sent to SC by the war department. “Tale of Two Cities'’ is a documentary closeup of the complete destruction wrought on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, while “Seeds” is an exposition of the effects of the after-! math of war on the children and civilians of Europe. The latter lilm won the Academy award as the finest documentary film of 1946.
“Both these films,” said Roberts, “give a graphic picture of what a past war lias done. Magnified thousands of times, they give a small idea of what another war might do to humanity. All students interested in the trend of world affairs should see the films, for both an eyeopener and a sense of the immediacy of the situation.”
The series of showings will end following the session on Friday.
Previous to this opportunity,
Hurwitz was the perennial repre-
string of theatrical productions from Broadway to Hollywood. In the New York production of “The Red Mill” he was seen as Pran, the sheriff. This characterization led to his assignment as detective Olson in the stage presentaUon of Vera Caspary's best-seller novel, “Laura.”
Army Films
During his three years in the services, Hurwitfc appeared in a number of training films, notably “Three Cadets,” designed to harass GI’s into behavior conducive to the maintenance of good health.
Now enrolled in several summer session classes, Hurwitz will not confine his activities to campus productions. He recently completed a three-minute .bit in the unreleased Mickey Rooney film, “Killer McCoy.” Hurwitz spends his nights as business manager of the new Tent theater in Hollywood, and when he finds he hasn’t enough to do in that capacity, essays a bit part. He was recently seen In the Tent production of “Dream Girl.” He played the sheriff.
Ulcerous Father
Supporting Hurwitz in the Russian comedy will be Madgel Wolfard as the argumentative object of his affections, and Harold Salisbury as her ulcerous father. This will be a new characterization for Miss Wolfard who, in contrast to Hurwitz, has easily avoided being typed. Since her arrival at SC last semester, Miss Wolfard has been seen as the vivacious Louka In “Arms and the Man,” as Saint Margaret in “Joan of Lorraine,” and as the disillusioned suicide in “The Bridge.” She is scheduled to appear later this term as the (Continued on Page Four)
