The policemen kicked in the front door in an attempt to enter, but were driven back by a sheet of flame. Elleft was slightly burned.

Both officers lost their hats, gloves and a flashlight in the excitement. A St. Bernard dog in the barn was later rescued cold, but unhurt, by firemen. Moulin arrived home while the firemen were trying to save the barn. Only one wall of the house was standing when firefighters arrived.

Moulin said his wife and daughter were visiting friends in Maine.

The installation, Argonne Na tional Laboratory's experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR), supplies most of the lab's daily power needs. In the first year of operatiorv, a spokesman said, the pioneer nuclear reactor produced kilowatts of electricity without mishap.

Hlt, Arguments Moody said it cannot be argued that atomic power is needed because reserves of other fuels are dwindling. He said coal supplies alone will last about 2,000 years at the present rate of consumption. The coal spokesman also hit at arguments of those who "say we must develop this power for the benefit of our allies who are not so fortunate in supplies of coal Iia mm4 Ail UI A mntrt 4hlt 11 kas anu uu.
