THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Congress Okay On Exchange Of Atomic Info Is Expected By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON — Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY) predicted to- day that Congress will approve President Eisenhower's proposals to exchange more atomic informa- tion with allies and to give private industry a go-ahead in developing " peacetime power. Cole, chairman of the Senate- House Atomic Energy Committee, said in an interview he has heard of no strong opposition to a com- prehensive bill now before Con- gress carrying out the President’s program. Cole added a belief there is time for action during this session. The measure also would tighten restrictions on dissemination of restricted atomic information with new clauses which Cole said could mean criminal prosecution of newsmen for reporting data they believe to be restricted, regard- less of who gave them the infor- mation. ‘The committee opens public hearings today on sections of the bill to allow private operation of nuclear facilities as a means of encouraging the development of peacetime power. J.D. Luntz, editor of Nucleonics magazine, was listed as the leadoff witness. The magazine recently concluded a survey of industries interested in peacetime power. Other witnesses called today in- cluded E. B. Stason, dean of the University of Michigan Law School testifying for the American Bar of the Detroit Edison Co.; and representatives of Babcock and Wilcox Co., Dow Chemical Co. and the Ford Motor Co.

The committee-written bill would do away with the present govern- ment monopoly on all atomic ac- tivities by permitting private oper- ation of some government-owned Plants. Patent rights would be granted for new developments in peacetime power. Scientists have testified that electricity from nuclear power could be economically competitive with present methods within 10 years. The measure would also provide: 1, Authority for the Atomic En- ergy Commission to exchange in- formation with U.S. allies abroad on the uses and performance of nuclear weapons, and on peace- time power. 2. New restrictions designed to impose what Cole termed “abso- lute liability” on officials divulging restricted information and on any- one, including newsmen, who knowingly transmits it to unau: thorized persons, If, for example, an AEC official divulged restricted information in a speech and a newsman reported it, with doubts of his privilege to do so, Cole expressed belief both men would be subject to a $2,500 fine if this bill becomes law. Cole said the data could be cleared only by AEC action, ROAD PATROL (Continued from Page One) courts in 1953.

Na San Evacuation The French evacuated Na San Aug. 11, 1953 and the Vietminh quickly moved in to it as a base for pursuing their conquest of the pro-French Thai Peoples country and the eventual attack upon Dien Bien Phu. - The French’ high command re- Ported today that warplanes had cut the road’ bétween Tuan Giao *Jand Na San in 10 places. Vietminh troops and convoys were reported moving two ways today: Into and out of the Thai country of northwestern Indochina. Those going in may be for rein- forcing Vietminh positions in Thai capital of Lai Chau, 200 miles northwest of Hanoi, which the _Viet- minh occupied after the French pulled out Dec 11, 1953. They also may be intended to take over oc- cupation of Dien Bien Phu sector from the battleworn rebels who spearheaded and survived the 57 days of assaults upon the French Union fortress. Dien Bien Phu, on a road lead- ing southward to the royal Laotian capital of Luang Prabang, might be used as a takeoff base by the Vietminh for a fresh. invasion of the little mountain kingdom.

McCarthy (R-Wis) and high Pentagon officials: The basic charges — Secrétary of the Army Stevens and Army Counsellor John G. Adams have accused McCarthy and two sub- committee aides, Roy M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr, of using im- proper pressures to win favored treatment for Pvt. G.. David Schine. Schine was a subcommit- teé consultant before being drafted last November. McCarthy’s side in tufn has ac- cused Stevens and Adams of using Schine as a “hostage” in attempt- ing to get McCarthy to halt or di- vert an investigation of alleged subversives in the Army, particu- lazly at Ft. Monmouth, N. J. They named also H. Struve Hensel, as- sistant secretary of defense. Pertinent past. testimony — Stevens has denied’ trying to halt McCarthy’s probe, but said the sendtor’s methods subjected Army to “hammering headlines” giving an untrue picture of alleged subversion. He has said the FBI has praised the cooperation it has received from the Army. Stevens siid McCarthy’s aides subjected him to threats of an “exceedingly serious” nature in efforts to win favored treatment for Schine, and that he felt the implication was that the more he did for Schine, the easier McCarthy would be on the Army. McCarthy, who has testified un- er oath thus far on only one side issue, has said during his ques- tioning that the afiswer to chargés of pressure in Schine’s behalf is the |dicts Congress will approve the CONGRESS HIGHLIGHTS WASHINGTON @ — The fen- ate Investigations subcommittee reaches a crossroads in its in- quiry into the MeCarthy-Amy row after a weekend of activity hy Republican members who aim to cut short the publie hearings.

Arson Probed Tn $225,000 Factory Fire SAN FRANCISCO (#—A raging four alarm fire gutted a photo- mount factory last night and fire officials. said they belived a 12- year-old boy set the $225,000 flaze deliberately. More than 200 firemen and 42 pieces of. equipment battled the flames, Two civil defense workers and 24 firemen were hurt, none seri- ously. Paul Lukaszevig, a bartender, who turned in the first alarm, said he saw a boy run from the build- ing and almost right behind him the flames began pouring out of the building. Lt. George L. Kelley, head of the arson squad, said it appeared the fire had been set deliberately. . The two-story wood and iron building of the California Card- board Mfg. Co., was filled with paper, cardboard, dies and printing machines valued by the company’s Edgar J. Sherman, at Fire Chief Frank Kelly estimated thé total loss, including the build- ing, at $225,000. TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK (#—The stock mar- ket staged a restrained rise today in early dealings. The advance took prices up ma- jor fractions occasionally, but Most gains were small. Almost every section of the list was dotted with minus signs. Higher on balance were the rail- roads, steels, motors, and aircrafts. The chemicals were mostly lower as were the coppers. Otherwise, the market was steady to mixed. Chrysler, Friday’s most active issue with a gain of 1%, opened today on a block of 2,000 shares up % at 61%. Among higher stocks were New York Central, Missouri Pacific pre- ferred, American Smelting, Mathie- son Chemical, U.S. Steel, General Motors, Boeing, Republic Aviation, and Radio Corp.

Nearly $70,000 of this rep- resents raises given to workers in the lower brackets who I do not believe could live on salaries of $160 a month or less. “The rest represents workers who are needed because we are building roads in contrast to the do-nothing policy of the Dick Simp- son board I had to fire. In the 10 other state departments under di- rect jurisdiction of the governor the payroll has risen only $5,800. “The total incréase since Sep- tember 1953 in the 11 departments under the governor is less than $140,000, not $452,000 as charged by the senator from Leon County.” REDS OPPOSE (Continued from Page One) munist Vietminh regime agreed ‘to a meeting of field commanders in Indochina to arrange evacuation of wounded. Such a meeting had been asked by the French three weeks ago. The Vietminh move today prompted French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault to remark: “Bet- ter late than never.” The Vietminh representative 2nd A short time later, an official French spokesman also said the Vietminh delegate opposed the armistice plan advanced by French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault at Saturday’s opening ses- sion on Indochina. Today’s meeting got off with a wrangle as the Viet Nam delegate and Bidault accused Soviet For- eign Minister V. M. Molotov of holding back a Viet Nam letter and allowing, instead, the Viet- minh delegate to speak. Molotov is today’s conference chairman. The sequence of events, as re- ported by official French sources, ‘was: The Viet Nam delegation handed a letter to Molotov, suggesting something be done to evacuate seriously wounded French Union prisoners. Instead of reading the letter at the beginning of the meeting, Molotov recognized the delegate from the Communist-led Vietminh. The delegate then proposed the badly wounded be returned by ar- Tangement between the field com- manders. When he finished, the Viet Nam spokesman said he regretted Molo- tov had not seen fit to read his letter. The French source quoted Molo- tov as saying he was sorry but the letter reached him after he had recognized the Vietminh delegate. He said it took some time to translate the proposal. The Soviet foreign minister also said he fa- vored the Vietminh proposal. Bidault then deplored the fact ter at the beginning of the meet- ing. He added what France was interested in was getting treat- state Commerce Commission, es- eaped with minor injuries when an guto in which he was riding Johnson and Horace G.

Welch that this would “do vio- lence to justice and equity” and a suggestion from Sen. Syming- ton (D-Mo) that it was an effort to sweep the charges “under the rug.” Symington said he for one in- sisted the inquiry be held in a “goldfish bowl.” Sen. Potter (R.Mich) retorted there was no effort to sweep the matter under the rug but there was no point in “hearing the same story told 10 times in 10 different ways.” Chairman Mundt, indicating. he would go along with the Army, said he felt no procedure should jbe imposed over objections from principals. Mundt said if the hearings con- tinue as originally scheduled, it would take at least “three or four weeks more.” Cohn Asks Questions Once the argument over trimming down the hearings was laid aside, Roy M. Cohn, general counsel to McCarthy’s subcommit- tee, began questioning Stevens— now in his 13th day on the witness stand. Cohn demanded that Stevens give the committee the names of officials named in an inspector general’s report as having had a hand in thé promotion and honor- able discharge for Peress. Peress, a New York dentist, was honorably discharged from the Army last winter after refusing to answer questions from McCarthy as to whether he had had Commu- nist affiliations. Ray H.
