her to Key bridge, about three
miles away. She was to meet some
friends there, she said, who would
be in an automobile bearing New
York license plates.
Hit Front Seat
The a never appeared, and
Collins took his fare across thu
bridge to the Virginia side. On the
return trip, he heard the rear door
being opened and slammed on the
brakes so hard that Comdr. Boncr
was thrown against the front seat.
She jumped out, with Collins
after her. He grabbed her arm, but
the Wave broke away, leaped to the
parapet and vas gone. Collins
drove quickly to the nearest police
station and reported.
The policemen in the rowboat ex-
pected to find nothing when they

HOUSE ONE UP
Conferees Bar Military
Men From Atomic Board

WASHINGTON, July Is -(Pe
Advocates of civilian control OF
atomic energy won a victory
Thursday when a Senate-House
Conference committee agreed to
exclude military men from a
control commission.
The House had voted to put al
least one, and possibly two, mill
tary men on the five-man commits
sion which would rule over atomic
energy in the domestic field. The
Senate had voted for an all-civil-
ian body.
Some Dissatisfied
Some of the House conferees ex-
pressed dis satisfaction with the
decision, and indicated they would
fight when the conference report
comes up for ratification in the
House. 1t is subject to Senate ap-
proval also.
The House won a point on an
other provision dealing with mill
tary representation. The conferees
agreed that the director of the di-
vision of military application of
amomic energy be a member Of
the armed forces.
Senate Defeated
The Senate had voted to put a
civilian at the head of this divi-
sion, n of four that would work
under commission direction.
The conferees were still in dis
agreement over patent provisions
Of the bill. The House completely
rewrote these provisions as pass
ed by the Senate.
