House Fight Expected
Today on Plans for
Atom Energy Control
First Test Due on Move
To Place Military Mon
On Five-Member Boord
BY the kssocioisd Press

Atomic energy legislation
reaches a vote in the House
today, with some of it's most
ardent supporters conceding
trouble" ahead.
While there seems to be only a
slim chance that the legislation will
be killed outright, a fight over the
issue of civilian versus military con-
troll continued undated.
The first test comes on a House
Military Affairs Committee recon-
mendation that at least one of the
five members of the proposed atomic
energy control commission be a
representative Of the armed forces,
and that The director of military
uses Of the new energy also be a
military man.
Overrides Senate Bill.
In making that recommendation
the committee oyerrode provisions
of Senate bill-indorsed by Presi-
dent Truman-setting up a FIVE.
member civilian control commission
and topping the military application
division with a civilian.
Administration leaders said they
would fight all the committee
amendments and try to push
through the legislation in the exact
form it passed the Senate.
An equally intense but less noisy
controversy has developed over a
section giving the Government vir-
tual monopoly over inventions in the
atomic energy field.
This section has been attacked as
stride toward Socialism and Sow
ietism. It's supporters contend it Is
necessary to prevent leaks" that
might endanger national security.
Communist Issue Raised.
Overshadowing debate on actual
provisions of the bill are claims OF
opponents of all-civilian control
that Communists are interested in
having the measure passed as it went
through the Senate.
Representative Thomas, Republi-
can, Of New Jersey, told the House
yesterday that Andrei Gromyko

Security Council, couldn't have

And Representative Rankin, Dem

With Bread Rationing
Despite Bakers Revolt

Issue in Commons
By the Associated Press

LONDON, July 18.-The gov
ernment was reported today to
have decided to follow through
with plans to ration bread de-
spite a threatened revolt OF
bakers.
The decision was reported to have
been made at special cabinet meet
ing this morning attended by John
Strachey, Minister of Food.
While the Food Minister was
closeted with other government
leaders, delegate waited to pre-
sent him with a resolution announc-
ing the Master Bakers Association S

rationing scheme which becomes
effective next week. ...
Backed By Conservatives.
Conservative members of Parlia-
ment were ready to back the bakers.
After so minutes at the cabinet
session, Mr.. Strachey met the
bakers delegation for scheduled
half hour conference which lasted
more than two hours. A spokesman
for the bakers who emerged was
tightlipped.
London streets and billboards were
plastered today with placards prom

plan to ration bread turned an
equally critical eye today on the

Former Prime Minister Winston
Churchill was scheduled to lead
Conservative opposition to rationing
in parliamentary debate later to-
day.
Representatives Of nearly half of
the nations bakers refused point

Jail rather than do the extra book
work entailed in rationing. Ap-
proximately 1900 delegates to a

BY the Associoted Press

CINCINNATI, Mar. 4.-The Union
of American Hebrew Congregations
must boldly and forthrightly dis
associate itself from dogmatic anti
Zionism," DR.. Maurice N. Eisendrath,
director of the union, asserted yes
terday.
Pleading for "an all-inclusive Ju-
daism for America" in his report
to the opening session of the unions
39th biennial council, DR.. Eisendrath
declared:
Neither the acceptance nor the
rejection of the Zionist philosophy
OK program can be considered trea-
sonable to liberal Judaism"
Other recommendations by Dr.
Eisendrath included:
Ultimate merger of the two theo-
logical seminaries, the Hebrew Union
College and the Jewish Institute OF
Religion
Establishment of "a score or more
labor synagogues throughout the
thronging Jewish district of our land
as an effective action by which we
can demonstrate by our deeds that
we are something more than an
upper and middle-class movement" "
