A UK OR US REACTOR?

Fight Between Authorities & Industrialists

By YUKO NAKAMIKADO

Tokyo, June 16.

Acuto behind-the-scenes competition has developed here between Japanese authorities and industrialists who are advocating that Japan's first commercial atomic energy power plant should come from Britain rather than from the United States.

A travelling commission, which should have been making the final decision early this year, has been delayed month-by-month as the debate con- tinues.

Purchase of a British reactor | and material Imported from the of the same type as that work- United States. ing at Calder Hall, has been officially recommended. But powerful Japanese business In- terests are allled with United States companies which offer industrial agreements.

They have blocked or delayed the decision to "Buy-British" but are in turn embarramed by Japanese criticism of the United Stales Government's condition concerning the use of reactors

"We have refused all sorts of commercial tie-ups," he declared, Prices

"As Mayflower moved up the American coast Last weeks, journalists and the vanguard of tourists coming to Plymouth found that prices were higher than usual.

On arrival, car parks near the waterfront were charging $2.50: Concessions sprang up seiling everything from replicas of pil- grime custom to one-square- inch tracts of land overlooking Plymouth Rock for one dollar.

MANY EXPENSES STILL NOT PAID

FOR IN BRITAIN

London, June 18.

The Lendon Bunday Express claimed today that many persons connected with the Mayflower II expedition to America were worried about being paid for their services.

(Promoters of the expedition in Plymouth, Massachusetts, denied that they were reneging on payments, They ald that all payments would be made upon final settlement of accounts in London.)

The Sunday Express ran a front-page story headlined; "Mayflower Men Say: "Our Buts Aren't Pald."

'I Am Worrying'

The newspaper quoted Ernie Lister, skipper of the tug Penloo which handled the MayRower here, as saying the project still owed him money.

Harold Bridge. who made the sails, was quoted as saying he was all owed £500 and "now I am worrying if I shall rel my money,"

The Express reported that Perey Upham, senior director of the shipyard which built Mayflower, said: "We let the Mayflower II leave for America on trust and in good faith, They owe us a lot of money. It we are not paid, we shall be in a very difficult position.”

An Express dispatch from Plymouth said the Mayflower had been a flop as a tourist attrition.

'Grossly Inaccurate'

(Promoter John Lowe said in Plymouth that criticism of the expedition which had sppeared in "certain newspapers" was grossly inaccurate and unfoundedL."

(As to reports that Mayflower salled from England leaving unpaid hills, Mr Lowe sald. Stuart Upham, the ship- builder, who is in Plymouth, had confirmed to the press that his final account was being considered by his firm's account.. anla and that securities were deposited in London that were considered adequate.

(Mr Lowe Raid “funds for more than adequate” to meet olber Nabilities were available in London and the liabilities would be settled without delay.)—United Press,
