Try for Atom
Control Plan

Washington, Oct. 22-AP-Con.
gress moved today to solve its in
ternal squabbles over handling
legislation on the domestic use and
control OF atomic energy.
The Senate arranged to take up
the proposal of Senator Mcmahon
(D-Conn.) to create a special COM
mittee of five Democrats and four
Republicans to consider all atomic
legislation.
It's approval would end the argu.
ment among the Senate's military,
foreign relations and other com.
mittees all wanting tbs assignment.
The argument has delayed progress
In formulating atomic policy and
there was every indication the Nc
Mahon bill would pass.
Meanwhile. Congress had a new
proposal on the international as
pect of the awesome atomic. force.
Rep, voorhis fD'Calif.) suggested
the United States share it's knowl-
edge with any nations willing to
share their own weapon secrets.
"The agreement would be that
every nation entering into II would
open up every nook and Granny OF
its land" Voorhis said in state
ment to the House military COM
mittee, ito an international body OF
scientists and others commission
ed by all the nations to perform
the task of preventing mankind
from plunging itself into destruc.
ton"
There has been lively interest
shown by various senators in the
chance of sitting on such an histor-
ic committee as wauld pass on mo-
mentous matters ushered in by the
atomic age.
Both the House and Senate mill
tary committees have bills to create
an atomic energy commission, an
agency with all-embracing powers
over the control, use and develop
ment of atomic energy within the
United States
The Senate bill never has gotten
anywhere due to the argument
there over which committee shouTi
handle II.
The House military committee
now is considering it's own in Sc
cret but in earlier open sessions
there was some objection TO the
far-reaching extent OF the commits.
sion's powers. The objection came
from some groups of scientists who
worked on the atom bomb project.
They asked for temporary confirm.
alton Of atomic work as II was done
during the war. with new and ex-
tende% hearings on a wholly new
bill.
Secretary of War Patterson said
Saturday that scientists. as citi-
zens, may join fully in the discus
sions over atomic power but must
do so without disclosing technical
secrets still under military security.
There scientists, educators and
generals have testified that in Gre
ating the atomic bomb, America
created terrible new weapon that
can be used against, as well as by,
its maker.

Red Feather

Used in previous campaigns in
nearly 100 cities, the Red Feather
symbol has been adopted by the
national organization Of commun-
ity Chests as a device to call at
tention to the campaign.
History records many uses OF the
Red Feather as badge Of courage
and chiValry. Back In the Crusade
days OF the 10th and nth centuries
the Black Prince awarded the Red
Feather for unusual acts Of Valor.
Legend also has II that Robin
Hood bestowed the Red Feather up
on his men for outstanding cour-
age, courtesy and generosity. And
II Is a we'll known fact that the
American Indians decorated their
fearless braves with great eagle
feathers, dyed red.
II Is natural enough, then. that
community chests throughout the
country should revive the early
traditions OF the Red Feather as a
symbol OF our faith in man, our
willingness to share what we have
with others, our desire to bring
health. happiness and opportunity
to all the people in our community
