The bill, which ignited one of the hottest congressional fights of the year, overhauls the 1946 Atomic Energy Act. One of the changes permits the government, under certain security safeguards, to give nuclear information to America’s allies, * The new ‘egislation also, for the first time, opens the door for de- velopment of a private atomic power industry within the United States. Eisenhower, in a statement, took note of the warm debate in Con- gress over these provisions. % He said he feels “some misun- derstandings” were revealed dur- ing the debate, and added: Relief Seen “I want our people to know that these provisions are designed even- tually to relieve the taxpayer of the enormous cost of the commer- cial aspects of the enterprise, while fully protecting the public in- terest in atomic energy. “In fact, these provisions carry into effect the 1946 policy declara- tion of the original Atomic Energy Act, that free competition in pri- vate enterprise should be strength- ened.” " ~ OBSESSION’ Fox News , Cartoon Box Office Open: 1:45 - 9:00 P.M.

BARNARD SAN ANTONIO, Tex. # — An attorney for Cpl. Claude J. Bat- chelor said he will tell a general court-martial here today that the Army “promised Batchelor im- munity and then went back on its promise.”” Batchelor’s trial opens today in a sheet-metal building at Ft. Sam Houston, _ Defense Atty. Joel Westbrook of San Atnonio said: “He is eager to clear himself with the American Deople.”” p Batchelor, 22, of Kermit, Tex., is charged with collaborating with the enemy and informing on his buddies during his 31 months as a prisoner of war in North Korea. He was one of 23 American pris- oners who decided to stay with the Communists after the Korean ar- mistice. But he changed his mind and came back to the Allied side last Jan. 1. The only other American of the 23 who came back was Cpl. Ed- ward §S. Dickenson of Big Stone Gap, Va. He was convicted by a court - martial last May 4 on charges similar to those brought against Batchelor. Of the other 21, one has been reported dead by the Chinese Reds, Penn State Has First Triplets Ever Enrolled TODAY'S _ STOCK MARKET NEW YORK #—A slight tend- ency to decline was noted today rs the stock market in early deal- gs.
