Backers Of Military
On Atom Bomb Control
Plan Last-Ditch Fiqht
BY the Assoeioted Press

Backers of a direct military hand
in control of atomic energy develop
ments planned a last-ditch fight in
the House today.
Their goal is to upset the Senate
House conference recommendation
that all five members of the project
ed f1ve-member control commission
be civilians.
Along with this victory for
the administrations Endorsed original
Senate bill, the conference commit
tee also decided that the strongly
worded patents section of the Sen
ate measure should be retained In
the final act
Given high priority on today's
House docket, the bill does, however
represent victories for each cham
ber, both of which must approve its
present form before it can be sent
to the White House.
The House had insisted that at
least one of the five control COM
miSsioners be member of the
armed forces. The Senate held out
successfully for all civilians.
But the Senate conferees yielded
to the Houses inSistence that the
director of the division of military
application be a member of the
armed forces The division is one
of four that will operate under
commission supervision
On the patents section. the House
conferees backed down completely
They agreed to accept the Senate's
provision that inventions and dis
coveries in the field of atomic en-
ergy and fashionable materials shall
not be patentable.
The House had rewritten the pro-
vision to allow the issuance OF
patents, but to permit the commits
sion to acquire them by purchase OF
condemna ton, with the understand
ing the patents eventually would re-
vert to their original owners.
Representative Thomas, Republi-
can. of New Jersey, one of the House
conferees, did not sign the confer
ence recommendation and said he
would ask the House to reject 1t.

to making, but did not actually
make, the dishonesty" charge.
He said the President used a
method of calculation (which obvi-
ously was handed to him by mind
more clever than honest"
1t was natural to assume that
some White House advisor had pro-
duced the data, and in all likelihood,
that some literary aide had written
the veto message. Indeed, one Of
the columnists consistently an
nounced at the time that it was
the work of Judge Rosenman.
AS matter of fact, I can state
with absolute certainty that that
was one of the few speeches which
President Roosevelt, who was good
and mad because congress had re-
fused to give him the tax bill he
wanted, wrote himself, inditing
the entire philippe with his own
hand.
Whether Senator Barley would
have replied with greater or less
vigor had he known the actual au-
thorship, do not know. The fact
remains, however, that he said what
he meant and meant what he said.
Nowhere did he call the President
dishonest. He did establish his
own independence, and that of con-
gress, and probably did the Presi-
dent favor by warning him against
allowing his emotions to get the bet
ter of him.
In Barkley's delivery of the
speech, and his nomination of Pres
ident Roosevelt less than six months
later, there was nothing inconsist-
ent. Certainly nothing which, when
understood, should shake the pub
lies faith in the public man.

Reads Right Meaning Into
Barkley's Break Will FDR
BY BAUKHAGE
Neics Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, 1916 Eye Street, NV,
Washington, D. C.

letter from a listener lamentlng
what she called lone of our greatest
troubles today"-lack of faith in our
leaders.
She then described her "conster-
nation" when she heard Senator
Barkley's gushing and flowery
talk" nominating Franklin Roose-
welt for President in 1914, after
hearing the senator's famous ere
volt" speech sharply criticizing the
Presidents veto message in the tax
bill the previous February.
To Washington, there was nothing
inconsistent in those two perform
ances at all. What happened was
this: two persons who had worked
together in common cause fell out.
Amends were made, and still loyal
to that cause, the man who had been
affronted registered his complaint,
and then, feeling that the virtue of
his position had been recognized,
took up his labors in the common
cause again.
Perhaps that explanation would
satisfy my disillusioned listener, had
it not been for the fact that she not
only misinterpreted the significance
of Senator Barkley's speech, but
actually put into his mouth words
that he didn't use.
She said that Barley had said
that the President was dishonest,
and that he (Mr Roosevelt) knew
he was dishonest.
Now, by interesting coincidence,
something had recalled that speech
of Mr.. Barkleys to my attention only
a day or so before I received the let
ter.
A loyal toiler in the Democratic
party had remarked to me that the
senator from Kentucky, having
served as majority leader longer
than any man who has held that job
in the senate, had increased ire
mendously in stature in the eyes of
supporters and opponents. And, my
friend explained, it was his ire
volt" of February %, 1914, which
marked the moment when Barley
began to wax in the favor of OPP
ponent and supporter alike
AS a result of the coincidence
the letter and the remarks of my
friend-I reread the revolt speech.
Nowhere in it did Senator Bark
ley accuse the President of being
dishonest. But it is easy to see
how listener might have missed
the shades of meaning in the speak,
er's words. However, those words,
correctly interpreted, I feel GER
tain, reflected precisely the feeling
of the senator. Had he wished to
60 further, he could easily have
done so.

Brakes SuUe
President Truman

Very little publicity was given to
something that almost happened the
day Secretary of State Byrnes de-
parted for the foreign ministers con-
ference in Paris. Something which
might have given us a new Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Truman, in order to empha-
size the importance of the mission,
rode with Mr.. Byrnes to the airport
to see the delegation off. There was
no motorcycle escort, and while the
car was moving along Constitution
avenue at fair speed, there came
very near to being re enacted an
accident similar to that which cost
General Patton his life. A truck
dashed out of a side street toward
the official automobile. Fortunate
ly the brakes of the Presidential
car held. The party had a bad
shake-up, but that was all.
1t might have been otherwise. The
newly appointed and not over popu-
lar Secretary of the Treasury Sny-
der might have had to move next
door. After the secretary of state,
who shared the near-miss with the
President, the secretary of the
treasury is next in line of success
sion.
This is not the first time Mr.. Tru-
man has taken risks. But he is by
no means the only President who
has worried Secret Service men to
whose care the lives of the Chief
Executives are entrusted under the
law.
Three times, neWsmen, trying to
keep up with Presidents, have been
in serious automobile accidents.
A certain amount of speed is de-
sired at times when a presidential
party is passing through strange
territory but, as a rule, the White
House chautfeurs who are specially
picked men, LOANED" by the army,
if left by themselves, lean to the
safe and not the sorry side.
AT least one President was forced
to change his automobile habits.
President Hoover had a fishing
lodge at Rapidan in Virginia, some
IS miles from the Capital. Hoover
believed that time was money. He
was always a hard worker, and
when he'd finished fishing, he want
ed to get away from there and back
to his desk. 1t was job for the
Secret Service men and newsmen
to keep up and keep on the road.
Those mad chases were the SUBJ
ject of considerable conversation by
the correspondents and also their
wives. 1t was not considered a
choice assignment. Finally there
was bad accident that sent one
reporter to the hospital.
After that, the presidential car
proceeded at more normal pace.
The Alexander Hamilton institute
says savings during 1916 will be
considerably lower than last years.
Fine, if it reduces imitation pres
sures; but if it goes too far and the
consumer doesn't consume, the pro-
Queer can't produce, and we are
back to 1929 once more.

Coins Must Pass 8 Tests
Through Vending Machines

In modern candy and cigarette
vending machines, the mechanism
subjects each nickel and dime to
eight separate tests in one and a
half seconds, says Golfers.
These tests determine whether
the coin contains metals not used
in genuine five-and ten-cent pieces,
and whether it is of the proper
diameter, thickness and weight,
and has no holes.

Resent Personal
Slap at Congress

There were two especially sharp
passages in Barkley's talk. The
President had charged in his mes
sage (vetoing the tax bilD that 1T
is squarely tie fault of the congress
of the United States in using Ian
guage in drafting the law which not
even dictionary or a thesaurus
can make clear"
There was a biting, personal fla
vor in that sentence which congress
as whole, and Barley individually
and as majority leader, could not
help resenting.
Barley said: eff it (the above
statemenD was made by anybody
who ever sat in a tax committee
meeting, it was a deliberate and
unjustified mis-statement in order to
place upon congress the blame for
universal dissatisfaction with tax
complexities and in order to pro-
duce the illusion that the executive
departments have in vain protested
against this completely"
Here one can see that Barley is
defending the integrity of the con-
gress. He did not spare his anger
at the affront. But, since he knew
FDR had never sat in a tax COM
nittee meeting, he wasn't placing
the onus entirely on the President.
There was one other sharp riposte
in which Barley came still nearer

trained in a hard school. He rolled
Jordan over and got his hand almost
on his throat, then suddenly they
both went over the ledge. Below it,
Jane had planted poppies. The two
men fell together, struck and un-
clenched. Jordan leaped up and ran.
His antagonist had struck his head
on stone, and there was an instant
in which he saw stars and heard the
shouts from the house; Jane had
reused the vacqueros!
He rose dizzily to his feet, brushed
his hand across his eyes, and tried
to discern the fleeing figure. The
moon was just rising behind the
mountains; the sky was silver with
it, but the earth was dark, like the
bottom Of cup. He ran forward,
stumbling now and then on strange
ground, but, as the sky frightened,
he made out the dark figure ahead
Of him, still running. He did not
know where they were going. Behind
them was confusion of sounds, in
front he began to hear the cattle in
the corrals, but he kept on.
A fame shot out ahead OF him.
He made out the STOPPING figure of
man; something like torch shot
up in the air, hurtled forward and
fell blazing. AS it fell he saw that
the gates were open and things were
moving. He heard bellows of terror,
saw horns flash in the light of
blazing torch, and the very earth
shook under his feet. A flood of
dark, seething, writhing shapes
poured out. Another torch blazed
on the other side, another herd broke
loose, the gates caught fire, the night
was ablaze with flame and smoke,
and believing animals were rushing
together in a great stampede. One
herd rushed at the blaze, another
trampled over it, with pounding
hoofs and whirling horns; believing
with terror, the cattle stampeded.
In the nick of time, the young man
sprang behind huge old tree trunk
and the red stream parted and
flowed past him. Dust blinded him,
but he heard the trampling of horses
and the shouts of the vacqueros;
they were riding down from the
house and he caught wild cry from
the man whom Mac had called
"Pete."
"By gosh, he's let loose the year
ings; the gates are afirel"
Not only the gates, but some piled
brushwood had caught. The flames
leaped up ten feet in the wind and
sent out long black streamers over
the believing herd and the wild fig
ures of the riders. The vacqueros
shouted and whirled their quirts, try
ing to stem the tide, but the year
Ings were wild. Some of them were
splashing and f1oundering in the
creek, some headed straight for the
canyons, but a few plunged into the
flames and came out smoking and
mad. Believing with pain and fury,
they charged at the shouting herd
ers. Here horse was gored,
there a rider went down and the
horse bolted for the stables. The
Frightening sky was streaked with

A precious one from us has gone
The voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our hearts
Which never can be filled.
God gave us a wonderful mother.
She was one who never grew old.
He made her smile as the sunshine
He made her heart pure gold.
God saw the road was getting
rough
The hill was hard to climb
He gently closed her eyes
And whispered, "Peace be thine.
We miss you dear sweet mother
More than hearts can tell
But we know you sleep in heavenly
peace
In the land where we all will dwell.
No one can take your place, dear
mother,
You were so good to us all.
