It involved the atom bomb. Hard-hitting Representatives Chet Holifield of Los Angeles and John Sparkman of Huntsville, Ala., had managed during the previous week to win committee approval for several amendments liberalizing the Atpm-Control Bill. One provided that administrative power over the bomb should rest with the atomic commission, rather than with an Army-controlled administration. Proposed but not adopted was another amendment to cut the size of the ‘commission from nine to seven and make each member a full-time atomic energy commis- sioner instead of a $l-a-year man Jwhose chief loyalties would be to the . private company paying his salary hairman May limited secret debate on the latter amend- ment to half an hour, during which Spa:¥m and Holifield did their best—even though facing a solid line-up <1 Republicans. In ad three Democrats also oppcsed the amendment—Carl Dur- bam of North Carolina, Cliff Davis of Tennessee, and Bob Sikes of Florida. They were fearful that a $15,000 job as commissioner would not attract the best possible men Durham, incidentally, is sold on the idea of having men prominent in private industry or education serve the government in consulta- tive capacities. * * $1-A-YEAR MEN i 4 “You set this up as a full-time commission with a $15,000 salary and every lame-duck in Washing- ton will be coming around trying to get an appointment. This com- mission is too important for po- litical appointees,” he said. But Alabama’s Sparkman slood pat. “What you will get,” he warned, “is a commission of members who fly in from New York or Chicago once or twice a month to sign a pile of papers the administration has drawn up for them.

Sparkman answered Elston’s fur ther charge that a new bureau-| cracy would be created by pointing out that if the committee were to vote for a single administrator it would create one of the most powerful bureaucratic jobs in all Washington But his arguments were of no avail; the vote against his amend- ment was 12 to 6. . e le ARMY HOARDS DOCTORS While civilian areas are crying for doctors, Gen. Norman Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army, con- tinues to keep doctors and nurses doing next to nothing. Here are the facts regarding a Seventh Army evacuation hospital in Germany: Though it has a capacity of 400 patients, the hospital averages only 64 patients daily. But it keeps 276 doctors, nurses, and enlisted men hanging around to care for these | 64 patients. | “One of the finest and most re-; spected men we had in Washington throughout the war period,” Dur- ham argued, “is Dr. Frank Graham president of the Universit North Carolina. Dr. Graham would not have come here for a full- time job on the War Labor Board or anywhere else, and we would have lost his extremely valuable services.” Sparkman pointed out that university had called Graham to North Carolina, but Durham stuck to his guns. “Por the length of time he was able to serve here, the government benefited,” he replied. “If it had not been for the part-time ar- For each 10 patients there are four doctors, five nurses, and 32 enlisted men—all getting into each other's way. | Average cost of these 64 patients is $45471.21 a month.
