into the Atomic Energy Committee debates without knowing all that had gone before and came up with an amendment which threatened to hamstrtng future scientific experimentation
 However when vandenberg sat down with the scientists he was the first to realize his mistake and since then has taken the lead in trying to write bill which will give scientific research ample scope yet also safeguard the military secrets of the USA.
 At one time the Atomic Bill contained clauses very close to thought control whereby the exchange of any kind of atomic Knowledge, even ncn-miitary, could be a criminal ofense This restriction could hae affected use of atomic energy for cician plr- poses such as running automobiles or power pro jects.
 The Atomic Bill also provided for the most far reaching censorship ever seen in the United States, so that the acquisition" of atomic knowledge even if not published, could be criminal ottense, These provisions have now been modified, The rewritten bill is by no means perfect, but atomic energy is new field and the job of governing 1t is dihicuit
 The National Association of Manufacturers has been spending thousands of dollars to put the OPA out of business But Sunday baseball game almost did the trick Chester Bowles, catcher was hit by wild ball pitched by Paul Porter who, in turn, sprained his ankle. Housing Czar Wilson Wyatt, on the same team, spraped his back Other players, all oPA-tes, are still stiff and sore If Attorney General Tom Clark doesn't pull James M McInery out of the hair of Senators he will undo all the eX- celent goodwill Clark has built up ExGover- nor George Earle of Pennsylvania, recently dis charged from the Navy and newly married in Fur key to Belgian l9-year-old, is planning a nation wide speaking tour to urge that we get busy right away for war with Russia Harold Ickes pays his respects to the colunnists in this months Pag cant. His remarks are pungent.
 HOOKING WAR VETERANS
 If Housing Czar Wilson wyatt ever gets spare minute he might use 1t to crack down on racket-selltng apartments to war veterans
 This practice has sprung up on an increasing scale It gives wealthy vets sharp advantage, also penalizes the young fellows just starting out in life who haven't several thousand odllars in ready cash. Here's how it works
 Spectators have been approaching apartment house owners, urging them to divide their houses up and sell shares one share being equal to one apart ment. Once the apartment is sold, the present pant can be diSpoSseSsed Then the veteran must either beg, borrow steal the cash sometimes ming to much as $8O00 to keep his apartment Or if he buys apartment, he must then help manage the apartment house-no mean feat for amateur non-realtors Otherwise it is necessary to appoint management firm at high fee to run the house for them. Either way the veteran gets it in the neck
 Note-On the other hand, some veterans go to the extreme of not paying their rent and refusing to live up to apartment house regulations Since 1t is almost impossible to get court order dispossessing veteran for non-payment of rent or an infraction of the rules, some landlords prefer to sell out
