ADDRESS SURVEY $600,000, 50 Residences To Ease Moa b Growth rt This statement, made by David Shea Teeple, in his book Atomic Energy: A Constructive Proposal, is one that is in for a lot of discussion in the near future. Sheas reasons for expressing this need are based on several facts. First says the author, the Atomic Energy Commission, a civilian division, is spending more money annually than the State Department or the Department of Agriculture. The AEC has 142,000 employees more than any executive branch of the government except the post office and National Defense. The AEC vitally affects the national defense and security, Shea says, adding Never before in the history of the world has the military been forced to turn to a civilian commission for weapons. In Foreign relations the AEC plays a vital role in lining up countries from which to get uranium and other important atomic materials. The AEC, which will soon use more electrical energy than the combined capacity of the New England states, according to Shea, has a vast influence on public power policy. This is the skeleton of thought behind Mr. Sheas plea for a separate department. Considering the vast influence of the AEC, Shea concludes that it is logical and necessary that this agency' be made an executive department. Consider these aspects and the innumerable other views. This may be a question the American citizen may be asked to vote on one day soon.
