Sudden Easing During that time Immediately following President Eisenhower's heart attack and a resulting wave of business uncertainty the board, which until then had been squeezing on credit supplies, aud-denly eased up.

It pumped pearly half a tllion dollars of new reserve money into the markets by pur chases of government This prevented the annual peak business demand for credit in October from resulting in in-ci eased tightness of the money supply. With the first of this month, however, there was in- creasinfr evidence, in the form of rising stock market prices and growing supply shortages reflected in rising commodity prices, that a new wave of confidence had spread through the business community. The demand for credit increased strongly 'in the last three weeks. Boosting the discount rate is expected to slow down, credit expansion by increasing the cost of borrowing by banks and, therefore, by the clients of the banks. For Stones.

March Air Force base at Riverside, said that it had information on the crash but that for security reasons, it could not release any. This gave rise to speculation that the plane, believed to be a four-engine C-54, may have been carrying scientists or classified equipment to the AEC test site. However, an AEC spokesman at Albuquerque, N.M., said that any embargo on information about the crash "is not for AEC security reasons." The spokesman added that the AEC had no knowledge of the missing plane.

W- President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles explored for 85 minutes Thursday the failure of East and West tp solve vital differences at the Geneva conferences. What conclusions they may havel leachei on where America and the We.tern Allies go from here In their quest for a just world peace was secret they shared only with Undersecretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr But there were grounds for believing that Dulles was not entirely pessimistic; that he informed the President he still thinks Russia may consent to unifying Germany oi terms agreeable to the West, Report.

To People Possibly he may say as much publicly Friday-night in a report to Uie American people on the Big Four foreign ministers conference Geneva. But he also is likely to hang squarely en the Russians the failurept Geneva to jigree on conditions for a unified Germany, for achieving European security, for disarmament and for increasing East-West contacts: The secretary outlined to Eisen hower what he has in mind for his radio-TV report, then closeted himself with aids in the Gettysburg hotel to start drafting it. The President and Dulles will go over the drafts of the address to the nation in another conference Friday morning. Limousine The vo top men in the State Department arrived here at 05 p.m. CST, hopped into a White House imousine, and Were driven directly to the President's study from 3:25 until 4:45.

Hoovr flew back to Washington Thursday night after the conversations broke up. The Dulles flight across the Atlantic, to Bermuda, Washington and Gettysburg was something of an adventure for the secretary. Eisenhower had sent his personal plane, ihe fourengined Columbine III, to Genev a to bring Dulles home.

Open tvery day 7 a p.m.--Adv. i 1 -4 4 Sec. Bulks Gives Uiq Is II nydrogen domo. AEC member Thomas E. Murray prersei the dramatic proposal in a speech Thursday night in New York, saying the demonstration blast would be a "declaration of American power" and would spur the quest for world peace.

He proposed that representatives of sll nations be convened at the Eniwetok atomic proving grounds in the Pacific for "a meeting at the atomic summit" a meeting to be featured by a demonstration blast of a large thermonuclear weapon. 7 For one he this would disabuse Soviet Russia and its rlly Red China of any idea that the Soviets have caught up with the United States in developing the awesome power of the atom. Reject But Thursday night the other four members of the commission issued a statement rejecting the proposal of Murray, a holdover from the Truman administration. Thay indicated a belief that, instead of persuading Russia to 'an effective system" for atomic arms controls, it might spur the Russians on to press their atomic program. Chairman Lewis L.

Straus and Commissioners Willard F. Libby, John Von Neumann and Harold S. Vance said: "The recommendation which Mr. Hurray makes as the major theme of his address is one he has long advocated. A number of months ago, the commission by formal action rejected Commissioner Murray's motion to invite foreign observers, among them Communist observers to witness tests of nuclear weapons in the Pacific.

The commission has never changed its position on this matter. Mr. 'Murray proposal, therefore is contrary to the judgment of the Atomic Energy Commission. 'Spurred It should be noted that Russian and other foreien observers were invited to the tests at Bikini in 1946 wber.e.lh.ey. witnessed atomic of previously unimaginable destructive force.

This demonstration, however, did not persuade the Soviet government of the need to jnin with us and other nations in an effective system for the international control of atomic energy ir, all its forms. On the contrary, it appears to have spurred them in their nuclear weapons program, a tact which is underlined by the recent series of test explosions in Soviet territory.

While the Nebraskans were noncommittal on details, Jones said, "We considered the conference completely satisfactory and our progress well within our timetable." Interest In the.

arrival of an atomic plant continued high in the Lincoln Beatrice area which early reports say is the preferred plant site. As Consumer officials at Chicago moved closer to a final okay iot the Midwest's first atomic plant, Rep, Phil Weaver, of the First Nebraska Congressional District, broadcasting over ft Beatrice radio station, told southeast Nebraskans that the location of art atomic power plant in the area would result in an "almost continuous town between Beatrice and Lincoln," and that small towns in the area would "eventually become big towns." The plant, he added, will "have a tremendous economic impact" upon the state of Nebraska. Noting that Nebraska is the only all public power state in the cation, he said Nebraskans would have "equal opportunity to prove our abiliites to be efficient and in production of power in that we have the opportunity" cf entering a new and competitive field. In this connection, he paid tribute, to Nathan Gold of Lincoln, chairman of the Nebraska Resources Division for helping obtain fur Nebraska the plant, which will be constructed by the Consumers rublic Power District. 7 A Msgr.

R. ROTHENBERGER Star Staff Writer Emerson Jones, nuclear consultant for the Consumers Public Power District, said Thursday that federal law requiring government ownership of residues resulting from the operation of nuclear piles would not interfere with Nebraska's plans for by-products development in connection with the district's operation of its proposed atomic-powered electric generating plant. "It is true," laid Jones, "that the Atomic Energy Commission is not permitted to give up title and ultimate control of spent fuel elements. But the ash or residues are useful for the type of by-products we are envisioning while still hot that Is to say, intensely radioactive. There is no barrier to using radioactivity expanded during the cooling off process.

"It Is a matter of timing," Jones explained, "The atomic residues, will be useful to Nebraska while cooling off. They will not be desired by the AEC until they have cooled off," Treatment In Plant Jones added that in addition industrial and scientific use of the cooling radioactivity other products caa be treat.
