SENATORS WEARILY CONTINUE DEBATE ON ATOMIC MEASURE By DONALD SANDERS WASHINGTON «® — Weary, @rawn-faced senators talked | to- ward their third day of round- the-clock debate on the Eisenhow- ef administration’s atomic energy bill early today after what looked like a whistling-in-the-dark move by GOP leaders to shut off argu- ment. The marathon session which be- gan at 10 a.m. Wednesday morn- ing broke off briefly during the wee hours. But 25 minutes later the orators were at it again, with no end yet in sight. On the other side of the Capitol, House leaders gave up waiting on the Senate and scheduled a ses- sion of their own today on the } omnibus measure which would re- vamp the basic 1946 atomic en- ergy law. Debate in that body | could be as bitter as the Senate’s, | but hot as drawn out, for House | debate-limiting rules are strict. | The Senate effort to curb dis- | cussion came shortly after mid- | night when Sen. Knowland of Cal- | ifornia, the Republican leader, ) filed a petition to invoke cloture. The petition was signed by 38 sen- + ators, all Republicans. No test can come on it before \ Sunday morning, and Knowland _ said he didn’t expect one before | Monday. Knowland conceded the move > was a last resort. Sen. Humphrey | (D-Minn) accused the Californian | of coming armed with “atomic po- | litical bombs” and said “he’s go- | ing to drop one too many.” Hum- | phrey, an opponent of many fea- » tures of the bill, said progress was » being made, yet “now we have the + final weapon used against us.” _ Knowland has accused “Liberal “| Democrats” of conducting a fili- | buster against the measure ar ‘ of | tactics of “pure obstructionism” _ against the uncompleted portions of President Eisenhower's legislative | Program. Most opponents of the | bill have disputed that, saying. the , debate has been confined largely to the issues. | Generally, the bill would allow | the United States to share with its » Allies some limited information, on atomic weapons, and would open the way for private industry to develop peaceful atomic power. Sixty-four senators must vote for ) cloture before the Senate’s rule of unlimited debate can be set aside. That is two-thirds of the full | 96 members. Cloture never has | been imposed under present Sen- | ate rules. And with the Senate ‘almost evenly divided between Republi- | ans and Democrats, Knowland’s chances of succeeding in his de- batelimit move seemed slim. Humphrey commented it would be “tough” to get the 64 votes. day. There was no break all Wednesday night, and none until 1:35 a.m. today. In the early morning hours, only half a dozen senators were on the floor most of the time as Sen. Eastland (D-Miss) delivered a long speech covering a number of seer not related to the atomic There were a few persons in the galleries, as on the previous night. Even in the unlikely event that cloture should be imposed, ‘that would not automatically shut off all talk. Debate would continue, but under strict limits. One of the GOP leader's actions which led Humphrey to accuse him of employing “atomic political bombs” was a move which dis- Posed of a Humphrey proposal to set up in the AEC civilian and military divisions on application of atomic energy. After several attempts to get a debate - curbing agreement had failed, Knowland moved to table | Humphrey’s amendment. A motion | to table—or kill—is not debatable. For that reason, it is rarely used, since senators are jealous of their right to talk before they vote. Humphrey protested, but a num- | ber of GOP senators shouted “vote, | vote,” and on the roll call, Know- | land’s motion carried 47-49 with few Democrats in the chamber at the time. The amendment on which admin- istration forces suffered their big- gest setback thus far was offered by Sen. Edwin C. Johnson (D- | byproduct of its research opera- Colo). As originally drawn by the | Senate-House Atomic Energy Com- | mittee, the measure would have permitted the AEC to sell only electrical energy developed as a tions. Sen. Hickenlooper (R - Iowa), | floor manager for the bill, argued in vain that the AEC and the ad- ministration had no desire to get into the commercial atomic power field. But Johnson’s amendment, which would authorize AEC and some other federal agencies to build! plants capable of producing com- mercial quantities of power, car- ried 45-41. Voting for it were 38} Democrats, 6 Republicans and 1 Independent. Voting ‘‘no”. were 35 Republicans and 6 Demograts. N.Y.Builder | IsCalledTo Housing Probe By ROWLAND EVANS JR. ALA.

First conquered by the French in the 17th century, they were ex- panded into broad inland holdings. Then they were lost to the Brit- ish, retaken, lost and restored once more as tiny enclaves in British India. For nearly a century and a half, ; sleepy, primitive towns of French India remained French by sufferance of the British Empire. Their main industry reputedly was | smuggling. Now only two of the five original colonies, Pondichery and Karikal, are still under French control. They cover about 165 square miles, with a total population of no more than 300,000 amidst the hundreds. of millions of the great Indian sub- continent. Both are on the east coast of India’s Madras Province. In the past five weeks, the French have moved out of Mahe and Yanaon, two smaller posts, under pressure from enthusiastic Indian Nationalists. Chandernagor, a suburb of Calcutta, was taken over by India in 1950 after a refer- endum. ' Similar votes in the other areas | have been delayed.

Holifield (D-Calif) who said in an interview he and other Democrats intend to make a fight on some of the same issues which have kept the Senate tied up for 10 days. Holifield said an attempt would | be made in the House to kill the President’s directive to the Atom- ice Ener gyCommisce sntaoorntiot ic Energy Commission to contract » with a private power combine in the Tennessee Valley area. That was the issue which spurred most of the Senate debate so far. Opponents of the presidential or- der lost their fight when the Sen- ate voted approval of the plan Wednesday night, 56-35. Holifield said he and Rep. Price (D-Ill) also propose to attach to the bill in the House the same commercial power amendment which the Senate accepted last night. Knowland, reiterating his intent to keep the Senate in session un- til the bill has been disposed of there, meanwhile told his col- leagues early today there are now “gome doubts” that the Senate will have cleaned up its docket in time to permit adjournment by a week from tomorrow, the GOP leader- ship’s target. Knowland made repeated efforts to get some kind of agreement to curb debate on the bill—all of them futile. Shortly after 2 a.m. this morning, he invited the Democrat- ie side to make suggestions for a debate curb, but nothing satisfac- tory to both sides resulted. Prospects that the Senate might | set a modern record for a contin- Uous session went by the boards at 1:35 a.m. when the Senate re- cessed, at Knowland’s suggestion, for 25 minutes. The longest continuous session in recent years was in 1948, when the Senate sat for 44 hours and 14 minutes. Back in 1915 a session Yan for 54 hours and 10 minutes.
