 FOR ARMY
Social, Other Distinctions Between Officers, En-
 listed Men Narrowed

< WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Army launched a military new or der" experiment today by narrow ing social and other distinctions be- tween officers and enlisted men without wiping them out.

 l. Abolition of saluting except on military posts, in overseas oc- cupied areas and on ceremonial oc- casions.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Atomic energy will probably affect the Nation more than any other modern de- yelopment, yet when the House Military Affairs Committee debated its control, many Democratic mem bers did not even bother to be present. Furthermore, the Com mittee debate was held in strict secrecy. The American people, whose lives will be affected. had no chance to know what was going on.
 However, this column is able to publish a few of the details of what happened behind closed doors.
 Congressmen who led the drive to reinstate brass hats on the Atomic Energy Control Board were: Republicans Charles H. FL ston of Cincinnati, O., J. Parnell Thomas of Northern New Jersey, Forest A. Harness of Kokomo, Ind, Leslie c. Arends of the Illinois corn belt, with some support from Democratic Militarist Robert R. ssykes of West Florida.
 \ The Senate, after weeks of debate laild careful scrutiny, had barred military men from the Atomic Control Board. The White House and the War Department agreed. But the above gentlemen with sub rosa encouragement from the Army ruled that at least two Army men be on the Board which will rule on the future fate of atomic energy.

TEMpERS GET
 HOT DURING 0pADEDATING

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Sena- tor Wherry tR-NebD cried out to- day that another year of price con- trol would produce actual violence in this country" as Senate tempers grew hot in the midst of a show down debate on extension of OPA
 His face flushed in anger, Wherry shouted across the floor to Sena- tor Guffey D-Pa)
 You're rubber stamp"
 His assertion came during noisy session during which Guffey and other Senatofs were ordered by the Senate's presiding officer either to end their audible floor huddle or leave the chamber.
 Wherry declared that Guffey had never voted against an adminis- tration measure.
 As Wherry continued his argu- ment for stripping the OPA of even more controls than those recom- mended by a joint Congressional committee, Senator Bridges R-NH) chimed in, too.
 Bridges said we've reached a pretty low level when you have to violate a law in order to buy a loaf of bread"
 The time of a vote on the ex- tension legislation was uncertain.
 Wherry's efforts were directed at overthrowing the joint committees compromise recommendations and forcing new get-together between representatives of the House and Senate on the final form of the OPA bill.

Mike looked at Jimmy and shrug-
ged. They had been going at it ham,

far Jimmy had just laughed. Give
up a gal like Dronda for Sally?
Nuts. And I'm not insulting her
when | say she doesn't hold candle
to Dronda, either, Mike. So why not
shut up and let me do my packing
in peace?"
Mike sighed and started the whole
dreary business over again. The news
of the impending marriage had rat
tied him for minute; then his quick
brain had seen a way to use the news
to his and Sally's advantage.
Peace? What peace will you ever
have from now on? Look, Jimmy

you. Yes, and freedom, too. And

about you, remembering the swell kit

Mike didn't get chance to say
that he did mind. The phone rang

look at Jimmy his face was wrapped
in thought. Now what in the name

her sleeve? Maybe he should keep

Thrills And Money

Philadelphia, June 6 - Five young
men and three giggling girls, de-
scribed by police as apparently out
for thrills as well as money, engi-
neered four holdups early Monday.
Two young men searched victims

put a knife to his neck while they
robbed him, adding:
