Drastic Amendments
Made Before House
Passes Atomic Bill
McMuhon PIun Laden
With Changes; Conference
Next Step on Measure
By the Assoeiuted Press

Loaded with amendments. the
Senate's Mcmahon atomic en-
ergy control bill passed the
House yesterday.
Far from the shape in which
President Truman indorsed it after
unanimous Senate passage early last
month, it headed into a Senate
ences between the two branches
House conference for adjustment
of differences between the two
branches.
The major differences are over
the voice the military shall have
in control of atomic energy develop
ment and the stiffness of penalties
for violations.
Planned Civilian Control.
The Senate proposed a five-mem-
Der civilian control commission; the
House ordered that at least one and
not more than two members be from
the armed forces.
The Senate provided for a civilian
director of the military application
division: the House insisted that
the director be a member of the
armed forces.
The Senate approved top penalties
for 20 years imprisonment and a
$4,000 fine, the House voted the
death penalty for major 'offenses

Gromyko Declares
Russion Says Some Motions
Are Sensitive on Point
Of Releasing information
BY Froncis W. Carpenter

NEW YORK, July 20.-Andrei
A. Gromyko, Soviet member of
the United Nations atomic en-
ergy commission, today declared
that full cooperation in the ex-
change of information on pro-
duction and use of atomic energy
for peaceful purposes is essen
tial to the commissions work.
Without such cooperation, he told
this correspondent, the work of the
commission cannot be entirely sue
cessful.
The Soviet delegate did not name
any states, but he did say that rep
resentatives of some countries are
very sensitive on the point of ex-
changing information.
Stresses Peaceful Purposes
He emphasized that the Soviet
proposals advanced in statements to
the commission provide for the full
est possible exchange of scientific
information on the production of
atomic energy and its use for peace
full purposes" He gestured en-
phatically when he said peaceful
purposes"

Economic Unity Plan
For Reich Given Allied
Council by McNarney
General Acts to Break
long-Stonding Deadlock
On Orders From U. S.
BY the Assoc;oted Press

BERLIN, July 20.-The United
States bluntly advised the three
other occupying powers in Ger
many today to join their zones
in a single economic unit or face
a steady growth of creeping eco-
nomic paralysis"
Acting on instructions from Wash
ington, Gen. Joseph T. McNarney
American commander in Europe,
placed the proposal for a single eco
nomic Germany before the four
power Allied Control Council III an
attempt to break the long standing
deadlock on the Reicf's economic
future.
But he warned that the United
States would find merger with any
one zone preferable to the present
system OF four air-tight colnpart-
ments and its concomitant trade
barriers.
Reiterating the offer made by
Secretary of State Byrnes to the
Paris Foreign Ministers Conference,
Gen. McNarney proposed to join his
zone with any or all of the Others -
French, Russian or British-to form
an economic whole
Council in Session.
Than ~, on ,,pprooa5aotaa -@,n
the United States military govern
ment made Gen. McNarney's state
ment public immediately-even
while the control council, closed to
the press, still was in session.
An American spokesman said
after the brief meeting that the
three other delegations said they
would refer the proposal to their
respective governments.
THE United States Government
proposes this arrangement, Gen
McNarney told the council in
the 400-word statement, because
OF its belief that Germany can no
longer be administered in four air
tight compartments without free
economic interchange, unless eco
nomic paralysis is to result.
The United States Government
is unwilling to permit Creeping
economic paralysis TO grow if it Is
possible to attain economic unity
between its zone and any other
zone in Germany as a prelude to
economic unity for all Germany.
"The United States representative
would be glad to receive the views
of his colleagues
Gen. McNarney pointed out re-
peatedly that the administration
of Germany as an economic entity
was a clear provision of the Pots

u. ). Workers Loyalty
Urged by House Unit
Majority Report Finds
individual Bureaus
Unable to Do Job
By Joseph Youna

The possibility of concentrat-
ing authority to weed out Com
munists and other subversive
employees in the Government in
an agency like the F'BI or Secret
Service was suggested yesterday
by the Special House Subcom-
mittee investigating subversive
activities in the Government.
Declaring that the Nations secur-
ity is threatened by the presence
of persons Of questioned loyalty on
Federal payrolls," the subcommittee
suggested that it might be wise to
let single agency conduct loyalty
Investigations rather than to leave
it up to individual agencies and the
Civil Service Commission.
1t was pointed out by the COM
mittee, however, that it was only
Offering suggestions in this respect
and that special commission should
be created to study the problem
more thoroughly. The House grour
spent about three weeks investigat-
ing the situation.
Red Batting Avoided.
In report marked by the absence
of any seInblance of "red-baiting, u
the committee recommended that
the commission be appointed to
study the problems raised by this
report" The report calls for the
commission to present to the next
Congress a complete and unified
program to prevent Communists
and other subversive individuals
from getting Government jobs, or, if
these persons did obtain jobs, for
them to be dismissed from the Fed
eral service.
Only two members of the three
man committee signed the report,
Representative Rees. Republican, of
Kansas, filing separate report. Mr..
Rees said he had no specific obiec-
tions to the majority report, but
that he felt that 1T did not 60 far
enough" Mr.. Rees' report placed
a heavy share of blame on the Civil
Service Commission for the virtual
collapse of loyalty and character in
vestigations of Federal job appli-
cants, while the majority report
blamed Congress and the Budget
Bureau for failure to provide the
commission with adequate funds to
conduct the investigation. The ma
Jority report was signed by Repre-
Sentatives Combs, Democrat, of
Texas, chairman of the group, and
Fallon, Democrat, of Maryland.
Action Doubtful This Session.
1t remained doubtful whether the
House Civil Service Committee
would take any action on the report
of its subcommittee at this session
of Congress. However, members OF
the subcommittee declared that
under existing statutes President
Truman has the right to appoint
the special commission to study the
entire problem and make specific
recommendations to Congress.
The commission would be COM
posed of an official of the State
Treasury. Justice, War and Navy
Departments and the Civil Service
Commission. These departments
were selected because the commit
tee felt that they have the most
adequate and experienced investi-
gative staffs.

New Force Proposed
To Guard u. ). From
Attacks
Billion Moy Be Needed
Annually for Research,
Survey Board Reports
By Gornett D. Horner

Creation of a new branch of
the armed forces to deal with
long-range weapons like rocket
atom bombs was urged in a re-
port to President Truman by a
board of civilian experts last
night.
The proposed new force, to rank
equally with the Army and Navy
under a unified command, would
have the superior of defending
America against attacks launched
through the air from far away and
of directing strategic offense By air.
The report to the President,
drafted by the United States Strate-
glc Bombing Survey after apprais-
ing the role of air power in defeat
ing Germany and Japan, also sug-
geSted that it may be necessary for
national security" to spend s1,oOO,-
100000 year for research and de-
velopment of new weapons and
tactics
Necessity Is Stressed.
Declaring it is essential to keep
ahead of any potential aggressor'
in this field, the report stressed "the
necessity for the continued strength
of the United States as a force for
peace"
Control of the air is essential to
victory in modern war, the report
pointed out. 1t emphasized, how
ever, that air power means much
more than just planes and pilots,
involving "teamplay" of ground, sea
and air forces fully backed up by
the home front.
While the atom bomb has in
creased the destructive power of a
single bomber by from so to $50
times, the civilian experts said,
atomic weapons have not eliminat-
ed the need for ground troops, sur
lace vessels or air weapons and
full coordination among them.''

equipment, training and tactics"
Roosevelt Ordered Study.
The survey group, headed by
Franklin D'Olier, former national
commander of the American Le-
gion, was set up on November 3,
1914, by the late President Roose-
velt to study the effects of air war
fare and establish a basis "for
planning the future development
of the United States armed forces"
1t has reported previously on the
bombing of Germany, the atom
bombing of Japan and japanese
realization of defeat months before
final surrender. The report made
public by the White House last
night covered detailed study of
the air warfare against Japan and
recommendations based upon les
sons drawn from all the survey
studies.

Plans for a 10-story addition
to provide $50 more beds, prin-
cipally for moderate e-income pa
tients, at a cost of $1,500,000,
were announced yesterday by
Doctors Hospital.
The addition will double the bed

at the level fixed by the OPA.
Poultry. eggs and tobacco would
remain free of ceilings until the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
proposed new decontrol board agree
that controls on them should be re-
stored. Petroleum also remains free
of controls until the decontrol board
and the OPA administrator agree to
restore ceilings on it.
Ceilings to be Decided.
Whether the ceilings would be
those in existence on last June 80,
when OPA expired, or whether they
would be fixed at some other level
would be- up to the price administra-
tor to determine, Senator Barkley
said.
The conferees agreed also that
the administrator, in establishing
maximum prices for WHOLESALERS or
retailers, should permit the current
cost of purchase to them plus the
percentage mark-up or discount in
effect on March 81, 1896 That rep
resented a change in the date, from
June 90.
Standards set up for the decontrol
board would let it restore controls if:
/. The price of food item has
risen unreasonably above the CELL
ing price in effect June 80, plus the
amount per unit of any subsidy
paid prior to June 30
2. The commodity concerned Is
scarce and recontrol is practicable
and enforceable"
3. The public interest will be
served by such recontrol.
House to Get Compromise.
The compromise version of the
bill will go first to the House for
its consideration, probably on Tues
day Previously the House had
voted 20-day extension of the
OPA authority, which expired July l
with President Truman's veto Of
an extension bill.
The conferees also made a minor
change in a pricing provision the
Senate had inserted in the bill as
a substitute for the amendment by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
which Mr.. Truman had criticized
as the most damaging" of the
sections of the original extension
bill he vetoed June %.
AS it came out of the conference,
this provision still contained dis
cretionary authority for the OPA
against which Senator Taft had
protested vigorously in the Senate.
Under it, the agency could make
reasonable adjustments" to meet
abnormal production. In cases where
ceilings were high enough to cover
costs. it could refuse to raise them
If this would not boost production
or would reduce production of other
necessary items.
Agreement Not Unanimous.
Senator Taft told reporters the
conferees' agreement on the final
terms of the measure was by no
means unanimous.
He said he doubted that Repub-
ican members of the House group
would sign the report and that he
thought Senator Millikin, Repub-
lican of Colorado. might also dis
