...this project is vague and undefined, and the government has not thrown its full weight behind it. Nor is there assurance that businessmen will go along; significantly, Wirtschaftsdienst, the influential organ of industry, recently complained that Germany's own internal expansion requires all the spare cash available. But, although Konrad Adenauer would be able to protest that another election is coming up, it looked as if the Germans might be hooked for at least some contribution. Reporting the impending Dillon-Anderson visit, Hamburg's Die Welt commented gloomily: "The Federal Government is disturbed . . . giving up money seems inevitable...
Month after month in Washington, Touré's negotiators bickered and quibbled over each paragraph in the proposed agreement, demanding in effect that the U.S. just hand over the cash and be done with it. Although aware that Toure was under pressure from the Communists to cut off his Western dealings altogether, the U.S. negotiators, partially hemmed in by U.S. laws, insisted that Guinea follow the rules if it wanted the aid.

He never saw an atomic explosion, and may never see one. Moreover, as he said last week of his AEC experience, "There was constant strain and tension there...
...breakthrough into the era of the economical use of atomic power is here-or if it isn't, it is so close that we practically have to count on it." Quickening the Pace. The Humboldt Bay project is only one of P.G. & E.'s new undertakings. Although it is already the West Coast's biggest public utility company, P.G. & E. has to run to keep up with California's burgeoning population, which has been increasing at the rate of 3.6% a year (v. a 1.7% annual increase for the rest of the U.S.).
