countries . . .
WASHINGTON—Sanford H. Bolz, Washington representative
of the American Jewish Congress, appearing before the House
of Representatives judiciary subcommittee, said that there should
be no great surprise at recent synagogue bombings in the South
because resistance to Federal law by state officials invites "a
complete breakdown of law and order" . . . Only eight per cent
complaints charging discrimination were received from Jews by
the President's Committee on Government Employment Policy
during the period from May 1956 to January 1958 . . .

neutrons with the accepted
atomic fuel, uranium or pluto-
nium.
Control is maintained by the
mechanical and manual opera-
tion of rods which under actual
conditions are made of mate-
rials which absorb some of the
neutrons. By moving these rods
in and out of the reactor the
level of nuclear energy being
generated may be controlled.
The simulator, already in
operation, demonstrates the
various degrees by which an
actual reactor, under similar
conditions, can release desired
amounts. of energy.
The more complex problems
of temperature control, heat
energy transfer and the actual
electrical power production
cannot be studied by this sim-
ulator. This would require a
very complex and expensive
simulator, or a reactor itself.
The department of nuclear
sciences, Israel's only source
for training atomic engineers,
is headed by Prof. Nathan
Rosen.
