House Unit Approves
Oman Body 10 Rule
Atomic Development
Py the Associated Press. .

Ry the Associated Press.
The House Military Affairs Com
mite today pushed along President
Truman's proposals for atomic
energy controls by approving legis-
llation creating nine-man commits
sion to supervise domestic develop
ment of the new power.
The legislation, written by an
interim committee of scientists and
Government leaders, would permit
scientists to experiment freely in
the field of atomic energy, provided
their operations are not ION a scale
which would constitute a national
hazard"
The bill may reach the House
floor next week.
Sharp Restrictions Modified.
Originally proposed sharp re-
strictions on scientific research were
vastly modified by the committee
at the request of scientists and
with the acquiescence of the War
Department.
The proposed commission would
have general supervision over all
activities in the field of atomic
energy, would be empowered to ac-
quire and mine deposits and other
properties used in it's development
of atomic energy. 1t could not.
however, deal with foreign interests
or individuals without presidential
approval
Committee members said the leg
islation was approved, II to 10, on a
roll call vote.
Members of the atomic commits
sion would be appointed by the
President and be subject to Senate
confirmation. They would be paid
$50 a day for the days they are re-
quired to work.
| Most of the commissions duties
would be handled largely by a SIS
000-a-year administrator and $12,-
000-a-year deputy appointed by the
commission. However, neither the
administrator nor his deputy could
take any major action without COM
mission approval.
The committees action was a ma
| jor victory for scientists. who had
complained that the original legisla-
! ton was too restrictive and would
discourage research.
The committee scaled down the
penalties originally proposed for vio-
lations of commission regulations or
safety laws. 1t struck out a pro-
vision for 30-oay jail sentence for
| inadvertent violations of security
regulations and cut from 10 years
imprisonment and 100000 fine to
! 5 years and $4,000 the maximum
penalty for violations of security
regulations through willfulness or
gross negligence.
| Nations Poli~, Defined.
1t left UNCLAIMED penalty of 80
years imprisor .nent and a $500 ,0O0
fine for willfully dealing with any
one with the intent to jeopardize
the interests of the United States.
The legislation defines this as the
Nations policy:
TO develop fully the new strength
the national life that can come from
knowledge and practical use of this
newly tapped source of energy.
ITO encourage free research in the
field of nuclear energy and In other
scientific fields employing the re-
suits or methods of research in that
field and to further the practical
application of such research: and
in the interest of the Nation and
world peace, to control the substan-
tial sources of atomic energy, and
such activities concerned with the
release and utilization of atomic
energy as are on scale which would
constitute national hazard, or
which would be of military or in
dustrial value"

 Then the broadcast, to be carried by ali major networks, will shift back to the Missouri where the pub lie will probably hear the voices of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Fleet Admiral Chester w. Nimitz.
 The president presumably will designate tomorrow Sunday as V-J Day-the day the nation celebrates it's hard-won victory over the Jap- aneSe war machine. Actually the people did most of their big cele- brating when MT. Truman an- n0unced the Japanese acceptance of Allied surrender demands and the end of hostilities on the evening of Aug. l4.
 There may even be a mild renewal of the Aug. l4 celebration, aided by the two-day Labor Day holiday.
 It Is quite likely the president will ask the nation to observe this Sunday as a sort of second Thanks giving Sunday, with prayers of gratitude for the end of the cen- tury's second tragic conflict and with resolves to carry through to success the newly-wrought plans to make it last.

Jap Torturers WEI Meet Same Fate As WiLL Nazis

Petain case was typical of that Eu- ropeaY1 procedure with the court clearly convinced of the aged mar shal's guilt when the trial opened.
 During IS months spent in Ger man prison camps in mid-war, ] learned that the greatest party in- fluence, in the latter part of the war, was in reality exercised by men who hid their power well Three of the most influential party are named far down the list of the leaders in the last year of the war first batch of 24 for Nuernberg-Dr. Albert Speer, Fritz Sauckel and Martin Bormann.
 Only one German In ten had ever heard of Martin Bormann and yet, among the Nazis and Gestapo who were our chief contacts in the prison camps, he was universally named as "Nazi No. l." He delib- erately hid his identity but to all others in the party he was the only one who dared to and did chal- lenge Heinrich Himmler for the place at Hitler's side. From Stal- ingrad until the final collapse in Berlin, Bormann was the one who exercised the greatest influence of all Nazis on Hitler.
 Opposed Surrender
 In the final days, he was on the radio all day long shouting orders. rallying detectives and bowling threats in the name of Hitler. He was the one who took charge of the Hitler youth and tried to con- vert them into werewolves. He dreamed up the idea of the last re- doubt in the Alps. He opposed with all his strength the idea of sufren- der.
 Fritz Sauckel was the NaSi who was directly responsible for recruit ing foreign slave labor. He held the title of labor gauleiter outside of Germany; Robert Ley, chief of the German labor front kept his title, mactively, inside of Germany.
 It was Sauckel, who held the minor function of eauleiter of Fran. corlia. who went to France, for ex- ample, in April l942, and negotiated the Sauckel-Laval accord whereby France mobilized her youth and sent them to Germany as labor volun- teers." Tn reality they were slave labor and 8 high proportion never returned.
 Sauckel was therefore the gaulei- ter responsible for those e,6O0, 900 foreign labor slaves who were re- cruited by force or Embellishments and so many of whom died in the extermination or slave c-mps.
