regulation proposed by Representa-
tive George Dondero, R., Mich.
Dondero's amendment would re-
quire the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation to make a loyalty
check on all persons associated
with or employed by the atomic
control commission.
Another amendment in the
House bill would forbid the COM
mission to make contracts or is
sue licenses until the FBI had
certified that the action would not
jeopardize national security.
The dispute over a military voice
in atomic energy control was ex
pected to produce a sharp conflic
between House and Senate con
ferees. A senate majority voted
against giving the armed forces
a share in the supreme control
body. Instead it vested broad pow.
ers in an all-civilian commission
of five members.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the Army's Manhattan District,
which developed the atomic bomb,
had authorized the establishment
of three research laboratories to
develope atomic energy for civilian
uses. One of the laboratories would
be in the northeast, one at Chica-
go and the third on the West
coast.
