T>o commremorate t h e anal.- versary, President Kennedy bas scecbdiled a. White Hlouse cere- îmony this manth for soma 30 members off tbe orig-inal Fermi feani (Fermi b.iiself died off cancer in 1954). Tbe Atemie Energy Commission plans cela- bratians arcound the country-. in Chicago, s o re off Fernii's Col- leagues are gatherie>g to plan a. permanent miemori-al to the Ital- ïnn-bore physicist. The triumph f i ýh a f Decemrber day, undar tise stands off fhe University off Chlcago's S f a g 9 Y'ield, wvas only part off a f our- yenr, $2.2 billion effort to b)uild the ffirst atoamic bonib. The ffrst chair, reaction prodcued a bare laalf a watt off power, and, due to wvartime secrecy, there was nio announcement. E v e n Fermni'g ,wife did nat know off ber bus- band's achievenrent uintil 194,9. Moreover, fa many off the ob- servers pres ent tba.t day, tbe, event was almost nnticlimnactic, This in part was due to Ferm's own genius. Pbysicîst George We*il, the mnan who pulled ouf the' control rod, expressed the consensus recently whee be re- ininisced: "I had very littie d1oubt that everytbing wol work eut. I bad sean how Fer- mi's predictions worked... There just wnsn't anybedy whoi could camne close ta hlm from a theorefical p o i n t off view." Fermi's teammates a 1 s e knew fbheffirst chain reactionws just fthe beginninig. Weil remnembers tisat bis elation was "tempered by the concern that the* Gar- mans may have bean ahead off 'us." In the twanty years since thaf first cisain reaction, nuclear wea- pans bave se changed thse mili- fary, and political facts off ife that if is difficult tà conceive Off the world beffore The Bomb. Yet man bas had only imited suc- cess in harnessing tisa atenii fer peacefful uses. More than $2 bil- lion has been invested in, re- searcb, but A-energy stili cani- net compete economically with plenfiful fossil fuels, Last montis the U.S. Atomic Energy Com- mission, in a special report ta President Kennedy, predicted that atemic-power costs will net match tisose off conventional fuels e v e n in such iigi-cosf areas as New Eegland and Cali- fornia until 1968, Nuclear elac- fritity will not niake a signifi- cant dent in the averageý home- owiler's elect rie b i11l unfil thec Despite the setbacks, long- range prospects are bright. Tbe AEC's report foresees that by 1990 Amnericans ceuIri be saving $2 billion a year in po-wer costs. BENEATH THE PALMS - President Kennedy and Prime Ministçr Macmillun chat in a gorden prior to their first offi- ciai con)ference et Naissau, Baihamas. Schooner Reveals Ocean Secrets Lika an ex,ýplorer's ship off aId, Columbia UnÈversity's researchs vessel, tise Vemna, bas returned fron itis longest voyage ladcc witis news off fresis discaveries about a litt-le-known world on earth -- the oceans and seas. The Vema is tise saa-going re- searcis laboratory off Columbia's Lamant Geological Observnfory at Palisades, N.Y., about 20 muiles up the Hudson River frai the univarsity campus. The ship bas complata a 15-moni, 56,000- mile voyage fisat scient ists al- raady rnnk witistise grant oceanc explorations. On fiis crulse, ils l8tis, the Venin iad about a dozani scientifie object 'ives and pursued fhem in tise North and Souths Atlantic de'eans, tise Indian and Pacifie Oceans, and fisc Gulf off Mexico. Essenflnlly, if circumnnavignted the Soufiser I Hemispisere. Ifs broad goal was furtiser knowl- cdge off the structure off the aartis. Mucis off fiscncw knowledge off fbe oceans obtaned in tise past dacade has ' come frai voyages off fise Verma, fthe 202-foot, fisree- masfed schooner. Oc1 previaus voyages, tise Vema devaloped nrew techniques for sfudying tise ocean, tecluding the use off seismie refraction and re- flaction nieasuremerft, and dater- mrined bow gravîty can be mnea- sý,ured on surface vessais.

If obtnined more complefa measurements off sedinient layers under fise sur- face off oceans and, f or tise first fime, inade continueus gravity readiares around tise Soufisern miay change knowlecdge of how andc when sedimnent.s were de- posited below ocean floors. Dr Drake snid there is not complet. agreement on this, "but we think the oceanl floor is part off tise orig- inal crust off tise cartis, going back billions off years. If this is true, if is important ta know wbnt the mat erial now covered by sedil- went looks like. 'If may -well be like fthe sur- face off tise moon," he declared. ' Another problem. is fisat sedi- ment found by fise Vemna bas neyer bacc older fisan the Cref a- ceeus, or 100,000,000 years. If tise oceans bave been bere since tise dia begîenings off time, wisy isn't tise sediment older?" >'Tirougi tise prpofiler and by dnting sucb phenomeca as sub- marine volcanoes if wil1 be pas- sible ta determine bow miuch sediment has been deposifed' in a more or less fixed unit -off fume," he said. "Knowing fisis, anea ca either say: bere is the sedimen- fary colume for tise wisole off geologicnl time, or I can say this cousin represents a short period off turre, and prier ta tise deposi,- tien off the discovery, sedimren- fary conditions mnust bave been vastly different. "Another thing: "If you ex- amine rocks oni land," Dr. Drakre Continued, "you are struck by thse ffc t tiat they were Mriginally under the surface off the ocean. Therefore, if you want ta study the processes by whici tisese rocks were emplaced and ta l.ook into the formation off mou-ntain systenis and land areas, ane must study ocean sedimnents anld the rock below it. "Wi-tis fie profiler, we bave a powerfful new tool for doing tisis, and tisis is what we bave been doing on the Venin. If adds up ta almost as grant a ravolution iii ocean gaolegy as the development off the Echo sounder, for deter- mining ocean deptis," Dr. Drake concluded. On tise Vemn.'s gravity werk tisis finie eut, Dr. Maurice Ewicg, director off fie Lamnqnt Geological Obsrvatory, said fisat "if bas long been tise dream off geopisysi-. cists ta obtain gravify measure- rnints aroundic the -world, particu- lnrly tentise Indian and Pacifie Oceanis."
