GENEVA/ Aug. 6 OP). —A :
United States official sought to- j
day to de-emphasize "trade fair”;,
aspects of the Atoms-for-Peace
Conference which opens here
Monday.
Dr. George L. Weil, technical;
director for the American dele- ;
gation to , the United Nations <
meeting, told a news conference: ;
"We are here to sell an idea—
peaceful uses of atomic energy— ?
not Geiger counters.”
Mr. Weil, an official of the
Atomic Energy Commission, went
on to say the trade exhibition
sponsored by private business at
Geneva’s mammoth exposition
palace “is not the'main idea.” 1
"We’re not here competing for
business,” he said. «•

some scientists have been irked
by the publicity given the “trade!
fair,” as it Ik called. There have
been numerous news stories
about it and published state
ments that British firms plan
an all-out effort to capture a
major share of the world’s boom
ing atomic industrial business.
The industrial exhibit Is being
sponsored by 140 private firms
from 8 countries, including 28
from the United States. Each
company has high officials, tech
nicians and tons of heavy equip
ment here. The Soviet Union
is the only large atomic power
not taking part in the exhibit
Russia, however, along with
the United States and a half
dozen other countries has a gov
ernment exhibit in the Palace
of Nations, European headquar
ters of the United Nations, where
the atomic conference will be
held.
American scientists visited the
Russian exhibit this morning.
They described it as “very fine”
but declined to say whether it
contained anything new or start
ling. The Russians made a sim
ilar visit yesterday to the United
States atomic reactor which has
been installed on the palace
; grounds as part of the American
; exhibit.
The conference will get down
to business Monday with 12 days
of discussions—morning, after
noon and evening—on all phases
of atomic development.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Most Agencies to Pay
New sl2 Travel Rate
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Most Federal agencies will pay the new sl2-a-day travel
expense rate to employes who previously received the 89
maximum.
However, those agencies which formerly did not allow the top
$9-a-day rate will not, in most :
cases, authorize the new sl2 i
maximum recently approved by
Congress and signed into law by
President Eisenhower. In these
cases employes probably will get
a maximum of $lO or sll a day.
Under the law, agencies are
authorized to pay up to sl2 a day 1
in travel expenses, but can pay, 1
less.
CSC Practice Cited
For example, the Civil Service-,
Commission has set the maxi-!
mum travel rate at $lO a day
for its employes, but provides
that up to sl2 may be paid if j
approved by the official who
is authorizing travel.
The AFL American Federation ;)
of Government Employes, which
surveyed agency plans on travel 1
expenses, found that the greatest
variations from agency to agencyj
is on automobile mileage allow-;
ance rates.
The new law raised the old
7 cent mileage maximum to 10
cents for Federal employes who
use their cars in official out-of
town trips. However, many de
partments and agencies have no
plans for increasing the 7 cent
mileage allowance.
The Defense and Agriculture
Departments and the General
Accounting Office are sticking to
the 7-cent limit. Three agencies
have settled on a compromise
8-cent mileage rate. These are
the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare, the Civil
Service Commission and the La
bor Deoartment. In another de
' partment—Commerce—authority
to set rates for employes wasj
delegated to its various bureaus
Justice Department employes
using their cars will get the max
imum 10-cent rate. Several other!
agencies. Including Veterans Ad-
