Citing instances they have en-
countered, the more experienced and
understanding travellers from the
United States have pointed out from
time to time that Americans tour
ing foreign lands thoughtlessly have
spread for their countrymen a
reputation for boorish manners.
There is a likelihood such cautions
and criticisms will be revived when
the worlds travel lanes open up
again, and will inspire an attempt
by Americans to show themselves in
a more favorable light.
Some years ago, when inaugura-
ton of the good neighbor policy
turned attention of travellers to
Latin America, there was noted a
disposition to start with clean slate
in this newly y-discovered" realm Of

raveIer's Notebook
By Jacques FutreIIe, Jr.
The Sfor's Trovei Editor

Americans were anxious to learn the
customs and taboos so as not to
offend. Specific and detailed dos
and don'ts were requested.
The tendency reached such pro-
portions that it became question
of policy in how far to go in advising
them. Government agencies and
other groups interested in neigh
borly relations were asked to submit
suggestions, and reams of typewrit-
ten injunctions poured in. Out of
it grew. not a complicated series OF
instructions for each country, but

so framed that they can guide the
American in all parts of the world.
The commandments" can, of
course, be supplemented to advan-
tage by reading of the countries to
be visited, but the trainers of the 10
suggestions contend observance of
these principles will carry the tour
lists from any country through any
country with genuine wish to see
them come back with their friends.

not do at home or wish others to do

Wider Atom Control
Voted for Army
BY the Associoted Press

The House Military Affairs Com
mittee today voted to strengthen the
Army's control over atomic bomb
production by giving it power, under
certain conditions, to make it's own
atomic weapons.
The committee wrote into Senate
legislation authority for the Presi-
dent to direct the proposed Atomic
Energy Commission to allow the
armed forces to manufacture. pro-
duce or acquire any equipment or
device utilizing fashionable materials
or atomic energy as military
weapon"
That authority was not contained
in the Senate measure, and House
committee members expressed fear
that the Atomic Energy Commission
could, under the Senate proposal,
refuse to allow the Army to manu-
facture atom bombs.
In effect, members said, the
amendment would permit the Army
to continue operation of its Oak
Ridge, Tenn, atomic bomb project,
if the President so directs.
The committee made several other
minor changes in the legislation
before postponing further consio
Grafton until Friday.
A new fight over atomic energy
controls shaped up after the House
Committee voted yesterday against
a plan for all-civilian control which
the Senate voted after hearings by
the Special Atomic Commute.
The control commission would adj
minister domestic phases of atomic
energy. The House Committee voted
to require that at least one of the
five members of the proposed COM
mission be a military representa-
tive, and that a second member may
be selected from military ranks if
the President sees fit.

Assistance in Filing
Claims, Financial Help
Called 'AntisocioI'

PHILADELPHIA, June 10
Delegates to the first postwar
American National Red Cross
convention here today differed
sharply on whether the Red
Cross should continue to assist
veterans in filing claims and Civ
ing them financial aid.
The controversy f1ared during a
forum on home service to veterans
and dependents at which some
speakers contended that the present
policy OF giving basic maintenance
funds to veterans awaiting pensions
was "antisocial' and threw the Red
Cross in competition with public
and private welfare agencies.
Miss Marguerite Galloway, home
service director of the Philadelphia
Chapter, commended Government
agencies were willing and able to
take over financial aid to veterans
and that the Red Cross policy of
giving money for food and rent
while claims were pending was not
based on veterans needs.
Discretion in Aid Is Urged.

man of Providence, r. l., said he

Foreign Affairs Session
Breaks Up in Battle
After Attack on Report
BY the Associated Press

A House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee meeting broke up in a
row today over a tentative report
by four of it's members calling
for a sitter policy in diplomatic
dealings with Russia.
Chairman Bloom and Represent
alive Mundt, Republican, of South
Dakota, engaged in a sharp verbal
tiff after Mr.. Bloom accused the
latter of letting the report leak" to
newspapermen yesterday.
Mr.. Bloom said he thought the
leak" violated a confidence and
was highly improper" step by a
committee member seeking pub
licity or notoriety.'
Denies Issuing Report.
Mr.. Mundt denied giving out cop
les of the report, and added that
he was out of town yesterday.
The fareup came when Repre-
sentative Ryter, Democrat, of Con-
necticut, urged that action be taken
by the full committee on the re-
port.
Mr.. Bloom replied that action
has been deferred" and said the
committee would stand adjourned.
Several members shouted for
recognition, and one of them, Rep
resentative Vorys, Republican. of
Ohio, asked, Does this mean that
the attempt to suppress this report
will continued"
Mr.. Bloom shouted back. There
is no use to suppress it, since it has
already been given out" He added
that IF the proper information is
obtained as to who let the report
out the chair will act"
Calls Findings Vicious.
Mr.. Bloom called malicious and
vicious" the findings of four man
subcommittee based on tour of
Eastern Europe last year.
The four who made the trip,
Representatives Gordon, Democrat,
of Illinois; Bolton. Republican, of
Ohio, Mr.. Mundt and Mr.. Ryter de-
manded immediate abandonment
of any semblance of appeasement
of the Kremlin and said President
Truman and Prime Minister Stain
should meet soon for personal talk
on problems dividing the two coun-
tries.
Calling the report a strictly con-
fidential' committee document, Mr.
Bloom told reporter:
There is absolutely no truth to
the report. It's an old story-the
trip was made year ago. The COM
mittee never considered it. 1t is
just malicious and vicious report
and should never have been printed
"It can do no good whatever, and
may upset the deliberations of the
Foreign Ministers at Paris, because
it gives out an entirely wrong i'm
