tee.
The bill, sponsored by Senator
Tydings, Democrat, OF Maryland
and Chairman Bilbo was approved
by a 5-to-4 vote last Thursday
Two of those who had not voted in
the Affirmative made an inspection
of the site and later notified the
committee they had no objection to
the favorable report.
Some members Of the committee
however, have notified Chairman
Bilbo they reserved the right to vote
against the bill when it is called uI
in the Senate. Senator ODaniel

declared there was no need for him
to inspect the site since he believed

The editorial. which the Flat Hat

the realization that this cannot
and should not be done today, or
tomorrow, but perhaps the next day.
Neither they nor we are ready for
