"It is appropriate that Iowa should be among the leaders in giving the country this fine demonstration of a community education project in atomic energy, for the chairman of the crucial joint committee on atomic energy of the congress is a former governor and now a U.S. senator from your state, and in a position of notable leadership and responsibility in this whole field."
   Lilienthal referred to Sen. B.B. Hickenlooper whose comments on atomic energy week were published in Wednesday's Hawk-Eye Gazette.
   Next Saturday, shoppers in the central business district will not be able to get far without being reminded that that are living in the atomic age.
