A fresh drive opened today for
speedy congressional action on
the Nations future atomic en-
ergy policy, and Immediately
aroused discordant notes.
The move was assailed by Repre-
sentative Holifield, Democrat, of
California, who asserted in a state
ment that the current Canadian
Russian spy scare hysteria" provides
no grounds for an attempt to re
juvenate" atomic legislation pro-
posed by Chairman May of the
House Military Affairs Committee
1t was the Military Committee
which launched the new drive, spe-
officially with the aim of getting en-
actment of the May bill which it ap-
proved last November. The meas
ure has been stalled since then. for
House leaders have been waiting on
the Senate Atomic Energy Commit
tee. That group, however, has yet
to decide what legislation it favors.
Meantime, the existing atomic
policy came under sharp attack by a
ranking Government scientist who
asserted that because of the A-bomb
the Nations scientific men ARE be-
ing held very strictly under military
domination.
DR.. Edward U. Condor, director of
the National Bureau of Standards,
declared in a speech last night that
science simply will not go forward
under military domination" He said
this country should welcome Rus
sian scientists to its laboratories,
land extend the base of scientific
cooperation with this great people"
Il only mention Russia" he add
ed, because she is right now the
target of attack by those irresponsi-
bles who think she would be a suit

the floor by instructing Chairman

Patterson Advises

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 6.-Secretary
of War Patterson last night advised
that suicidal war" lies ahead IF we
in this country are scornful or half
hearted in world organization for
peace and if at the same time we
throw away our weapons while the
others remain armed"
Mr.. Patterson in an address be-
fore the Paris of Grace Church,
contended that I'VE will be doing
the cause of world peace no good if
We rush to throw away our arms
Weakness has never kept us out
of war;" he said. 1T never will"
The United Nations plan is a
going concern, with more assets
than liabilities the Secretary said
The plan is more promising than
that of Is years ago because our
own people are committed this time.
and it is more practical because it
makes provision for the use of mill
tary force to put down aggression. -"

Once on Same Side.
During several weeks of hearings.
Mr.. Pauley has been criticized for
his part in advocating an Oil con-
servation law in California in 1889,
for trying to get a contract through
the State Department early in the
war to build a high-octane plant in
Mexico and for opposing Federal
title to tidelands.
During two hours of cross-ex-
animation this morning, Senator
Tydings brought out that:
Mr.. Ickes, as well as President
Roosevelt, were on the same side
with Mr.. Pauley in the fight for the
Atkinson oil production control bill
in the California Legislature in 1899.
Mr.. Ickes said he and Mr.. Roosevelt
favored the bill as an oil conserva-
ton measure.

TT is beginning to look like the

May told newsmen. This is such
an important matter that it should
be decided upon at once or the Ma
tons welfare will suffer"
Some other committee members,
who asked not to be named, said
in interviews they are anxious for
a showdown because of growing
tenseness in international relations
between nations.
I'VE ought to get our minds made
up and start following some policy
before it is too late" one of them
said.
However. Mr.. Holifleld sharply
criticized the committee-approved
measure as dangerous and militar-
istic."
Apparently" he said, the mill
tary clique who wrote this bill is
trying to bring it back to life"

Douglas, Democrat, of California
also spoke out against the commit
tee action, asserting it might have

The committee measure would set
up a part-time, but permanent,
Federal commission to control use
and development of atomic energy.
The commission would be given
broad powers to impose secrecy and
other rigid controls.
Opponents have argued 1t would
give the Army too much authority,
since many of its Offices would serve
as advisers to civilian commission
members. Supporters have argued
that wide power for the commission
is needed in order to protect the

ports, that the Federal Government
did not own the tidelands.
Il frankly changed my mind
said Mr.. Ickes, explaining that as
time went on he became more con-
scious of the wasteful methods by
which the country's oil supply was
being used up. He said he decided
the Supreme Court should be asked
to decide whether the States or the
Federal Government own title to
the natural resources under the
tidelands. Such a suit was filed
last year and Is still awaiting de-
cision.
Mr.. Pauley has denied that he
ever linked campaign Embarrassing
with a discussion of the tidelands
issue, or that he ever took a con-
trlbution on a contingent basis.
Plant Finally Built.
When Mr.. Ickes said the high
octane gas plant would have been
built as war project several years
sooner if it had not been 'sabotaged'
in the State Department, Senator
Tydings asked him who he thought
held it up.
L think, in view of recent de-
velopments, 1t was Mr.. Thornburg, >
Mr.. Ickes replied.
He was referring to Max w
Thornburg, former oil adviser In
the State Department, who testified
early in the hearings that Mr.
Pauley threatened to have his jot
"lquioated' If he did not approve
Mr.. Pauley's plan for building the
Mexican Oil project.
Senator Tydings observed that the
net result of the incident is that
Mr.. Thornburg's opposition did not
prevent the building of the plant
but made it necessary to build ii
with Government instead of private
funds, and that it was not completed
in time to produce aviation gasoline
for the war.
