European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 16, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Monday May 16, 1977 the stars and stripes Page 5 lab claims clean Coa breakthrough Tuua homa Tenn. Api scientists at the University of Tennessee s space Institute say they be achieved a break through in Energy technology burning High Fulfur Coal to produce pollution free . John Dicks said tests run Friday showed the world s Only Coal fired Magnetohydrodynamics Mhd Plant can oper ate on plentiful High Fulfur Coal catching 95 per cent or More of the Fulfur without using a costly  said an Mhd Plant could produce so per cent More Power from a ton of Coal than a conventional Plant. And he said the process could be commercially available by 1985 or 1990."this could run everything else out of the midterm Power production  said the director of  s Energy conver Sion division.uts1 researchers will report their find Ings at a scientific convention this week at the University of Pittsburgh Magnetohydrodynamics is a process discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. It has not been considered feasible until recently because of formidable engineering obstacles like containing combustion temperatures up to 5.000 degrees. This is much simpler and More efficient than the conventional Plant that Burns Coal produces heat boils water creates steam and uses it to drive a Turbine said Dicks. Instead crushed Coal treated with potassium flows into a combustion chamber and bums at High temperatures. The expanding Gas. Ionized by the potassium is forced at the Speed of a Bullet Down a pipe and through a magnetic  creates electricity and conducting tubes Pluck it from the flowing Gas. Then the steam flows into a conventional tur Bine. This Plant operates at about 55 per cent efficiency with a theoretical upper limit of about 75 per cent although that could take years to achieve. Dicks said. By comparison a Normal Coal fired Power Plant with scrubbers operates at about 35 per cent  is handled As the potassium combines with Fulfur and Coats the Fly  whole mess can easily be caught in an Mother and child reunion four year old Chad Mcmasters is reunited with Bis Mother in Denver after the arrest of her former husband Dave Goodwin for the kidnapping of the child in Tennessee.

Michael Mcmasters left. Do Nelle s present husband joined in the reunion. A push academic achievement other device using centrifugal Force and the potassium can be recycled. Nature has been very kind to us said Dicks. It was strictly an Accident thai the potassium we dumped in to make Coal Gas an electric conductor also served to Knock out practically All the , the . Energy research and development administration announced this month that the soviets have operated an Mhd Plant fuelled by natural Gas for 250 consecutive  Plant based on the  Model in a joint program Between the two coun tries produced 10 million Watts of electricity. A huge commercial Model is expected to fuel Moscow by 1985. Our calculations show that by 1985. We will begin running out of everything Oil natural Gas and uranium said Dicks. It looks As though about All we will have left is  Industry figures show the .

Tells Schlesinger it will halt reactor work if curbs Aren t ended Washington Natl the general electric co. Has told the Federal govern ment at the highest level that if present Legal and policy restrictions continue in the nuclear technology Field it will eventually Stop manufacturing nuclear reactors. The warning from the giant company one of the world s two largest suppliers of reactors was Given during a meeting on March 10 Between James Schlesinger the Carter administration s top Energy offi Cial and Edward Hood or. And George Sta thais two High . Executives. According to . S last annual report the company s nuclear division did not show a profit during 1976 and is expected in operate at a loss for several More years. Details of the meeting which became known last week were provided by both . And a spokesman for Schlesinger. Reports on the session have emerged at a time when both the proponents and opponents of nuclear Power Are engaged in in tense lobbying campaigns aimed a modifying the Carter administration s nuclear policies. They made a very pessimistic Case about Thi future of nuclear Energy. They came in with a very dark  said James Bishop Schlesinger s spokesman in response to an inquiry. Stathakis said he and Hood had told sch Csinger there had been a net de crease in the number of reactor orders . During the last three years. We said that unless the Legal political and regulatory climate is turned around the Industry is in a bad  he said. We can t go on forever without  the nuclear division of . Employs about 7,000 people mostly in plants at Sar Jose. Calif. Wilmington. N c. And Memphis. The division has a backlog of orders totalling $0 billion. $2.5 billion for delivers after 1981. Nearly half of the backlog is Foi nuclear fuel rather than  10 per cent of All elect Cal Power in the us. Now is generated a nuclear reactors. While the Carter administration has said it is opposed to an advanced kind of reactor called the liquid Metal fast breeder reactor it sees growth in Coal fired generators and conventional reactors like the . Product us  said to and Hood who is vice president in charge of g a s Power generation group had presented our View of the Energy Supply and demand situation in the United states for the near term and nut to the year 2.000." even with a substantial amount of conservation we believe there is going to be a need for a substantial amount of nuclear Power in the coming decades. We cannot ignore the nuclear  he  he said that for the Carter administration to bring the nuclear option into the picture there have to be some big improvements on the regulatory and Legisla Tive  Blacks told to fight inferior Label of time Washington up solicitor Gen eral Wade Mccree said saturday that american Blacks must finally disprove the incessant racist insinuation that Blacks Are mentally inferior to whiles. Only through vastly improved academic achievement he said will Blacks win the full racial Equality they have been striving for since world War ii. Mccree. Himself a Black urged Howard University graduates to help slay the ultimate dragon of self doubt by promoting respect for intellectual achievement and a command of Standard English among Jive talking ghetto youngsters. The incessant racist insinuation Over the years that Black people Are not the intellectual Peers of White people has con Vinced Many of us that we Are defective in this respect he said in a commencement speech at the Black University. And the expectation that we will not measure up has become a self fulfilling prophecy manifested by comparative col lege and professional school admission test scores and by civil service and Pri vate sector employment examination re  said the poor performance of Blacks in such tests fuels the preach ments of a Small group of scientists that Black people Are genetically less Well endowed for certain so called higher forms of mental activity than Are White  noting that the Black is Beautiful movement of the 1960s has resulted in our acceptance of our physical characters  Mccree called for a similar drive to cast off the psychological shackles forged by inferior academic and professional achievement. We must not tolerate lackadaisical performance in  he said. We must insist upon measuring up to the High est Standard. We must reject the condescending perpetuation of second class status that results from teaching our Chil Dren Black English civil service examinations and College and professional school admission tests Are Given in Standard English " Mccree third ranking official in the Justice department received Howard s honorary doctor of Laws degree.
