Atomic Energy Crisis
Expected in 10 10 70
Years, Hearing Is Told
Lonemuir Says Russio

Bomb in Three Years
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The crisis in atomic energy
development can be expected in
10 to 20 years, the Senate Com
mittee on Atomic Energy was
told today by DR.. Irving Lang
muir, associate research director
of the General Electric Co.
If satisfactory international
control is set up in the meantime,
he said. the United States should be
willing, in the interests of world
security, to scrap all its atomic fis-
sure plants, bombs and material to
relieve fears of other peoples.
DR.. Langmuir disagreed strongly
with statements that, if secrecy is
preserved. the United States can
continue to keep ahead in an atomic
energy race. He predicted that
Russia, for example. can have its
first atomic bomb in three years
and be on a par with the United
States in about Is years.
Russian Advantage Seen.
If Russia decided to enter such a
race, he said, it would have great
advantages because of the great
numbers and discipline of its work

Merchants May Ask
Truman 10 Terminate
Teamsters' Strike
Situation Compared
To Transit WoIkout
In Relation to Public

The Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association may appeal to
President Truman to end the
six-week-old teamsters' strike
here, which has tied up freight
shipments into the District, it
was learned today.
Edward Shaw, secretary of the as
isociation, which is composed of the
city's leading businessmen, said the
group is seriously considering" ask
ing President Truman to take the
same action he took in the Capital
Transit strike.
1.-THE public's welfare is just as
much at stake in this strike as it
was in the Capital Transit situa-
tion,' Mr.. Shaw asserted.
Not only is there a serious short
age of Christmas merchandise, Mr.
Shaw said. but equipment essential
to public health also is tied up by
the strike. The strike has forced
railroads to cease shipping freight
into the city because of the hun
dreds of railroad cars in yards here,
which cannot be unloaded because
of the teamsters' strike.
Mr.. Shaw said surgical equipment
and drugs needed by hospitals are
among the items tied up in the rail-
road yards. Department stores have
estimated Is to 20 per cent Short
age of Christmas merchandise and
seasonal goods because of the strike
The District Commissioners dis
cussed with Federal Labor Concilia-
tor r. w. Goodrich today "a definite
plan" to speed settlement of the
strike but agreed not to take any
action until the conciliator calls
them later today.
No details of the plan for settle
ment of the strike were disclosed.
The conference with Mr.. Goodrich
was arranged last night after the
Commissioners were asked to offer
their services by the District Fed
Grafton of Businessmen's Associa-
tions. The request came in a tele-
gram from J. NJ Heiser, president,
and this morning IL more kilograms,
mostly from local and 10 cent
stores, were received.
Officials of Local 500, international
Brotherhood of Teamsters (AFL)
and representatives of. the II strike
bound trucking firms said they would
agree to further attempts at con-
ciliation. They emphasized, how
ever that they were holding to their
respective stands.

Budget Aides Take Up
Army Plan for Enlisted
Terminal Leave PAY
Confer With Services on
Giving Up to go Days
To Officers and Men
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

The Budget Bureau is now
carrying on conversations" with
the War and Navy Departments
on the possibility of granting
terminal leave to enlisted men
following a War Department
Recommendation that both Off
GERS and enlisted men be given
up to 80 days pay in accrued
leave, it was learned today.
The War Departments proposal
subject of the present debate
would put 90-day maximum on
the amount of terminal leave in
stead of giving officers up to 12C
days and giving enlisted men moth
ing, it was learned at the War De-
partment.
The terminal leave pay would in
clude base pay and longevity, but
not allowances, such as are now
given officers, and would be in addi-
ton to mastering pay.
