| Senators Continue Heated Debate On Atomic Energy Proposals By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON (#—Senators con- tinued into the dawn: hours today a heated debate on administration atomic energy proposals after vot- ing to uphold President Eisenhow- er’s order for a new private power . plant in the Tennessee Valley. Rumpled and weary from a/by the House. marathon session which started at 10 a.m. yesterday, the senators stuek to their desks on the floor or snatched short naps on cots in side rooms. A few who had gone home were routed out during the night when objection was made that not enough were on hand to transact business. This longest Senate session of the year, coming on top of other overtime meetings during the past week, frayed tempers. There were several sharp exchanges. But Republican Leader Know- land of California-called for an around-the-clock schedule, until the bill is passed, to break what he termed a filibuster against the Ei- senhower legislative program. He is aiming for adjournment of Con- gress a week from Saturday.

No one claimed to ‘now when a vote would come on the bill, | whieh has not yet been considered | There were objections that the bill would lead to a monopoly by a few firms in the atomic power field. Sen. Edwin C. Jehnson (D- Colo) proposed to authorize the AEC to produee commercial pow- er. The bill would permit AEC to sell only power which was a by- product of research plants. Knowland, the GOP leader, said the debate now in its ninth day had turned into a “filibuster by the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to sabotage the President’s whole legislative program.” He called it. “pure obstructionism.” Sen.

A group of Democratic senators, with the support of Sens. Cooper (R-Ky), Langer (R-ND) and Morse (Ind-Ore), assailed the proposal as costly and as a move to under- mine TVA. Administration backers called it the cheapest way to ob- tain power needed in the area. Eisenhower told his news con- ference yesterday that anyone who says he is séeking to destroy TVA is in error—to put it mildly.

Today gave Clancy the proudest moment in his 46 years of living. He was at the helm of the ‘Miss Liberty,” a new 460-ton excursion steamer, as she made her maiden trip through New York harbor. The three-deck vessel, which will carry 750 passengers, was added to its fleet by the Circle Line company because of the growing popularity of the Statue of Liberty as a tour- ist mecca, Francis J. Barry, general man- ager of the Circle Line, said the $400,000 “Miss Liberty” is the first excursion steamer of its type de- signed and built in the United States in the last 25 years. “TI can’t see how they could im- prove on her,” said Clancy, pat- ting the wheel as if it were a living Clancy, a chipper little blue-eyed skipper (5-feet-5, weight 140), may be harbor-bound now, but he has quite a career to look back on. He was born in Fitchburg, Mass., and went to sea at 16. “I’ve had 11 years of deep water experience,” he recalled. “I’ve been around the world three times, and hit about every country on the globe. I’ve sailed, under four flags —American, Norwegian, British and Honduran.” Clancy served with the Army Transport Service during the war. He also spent four years traveling with the Ringling circus as a side- show magician and animal trainer. “T had 14 bears,” he remarked, and let the matter drop, 4s if that alone were enough to explain why he returned to the sea. “Now I’m all settled down and married and get home at nights,” he said.

Sometimes they cry. It stirs up old memories.” Captain Clancy says his nine daily trips never get monotonous, and he doesn’t feel rut-bound. “You're too busy,”’ he said. “This is the busiest harbor in the world, and you’re crossing all the hig liners going in and out. You don’t have time to think of anything else.” No impish Irish impulse to by- Pass the Statue of Liberty and chug his boatload of sighteers on down to Florida ever tempts the stout stern mind of Clancy.
