Atom Nomineescaned
For Possible Final
ParIey Before Vote
Bg the Assoeiofsd Press

The Senate Atomic Energy
Committee called in David E.
Lilienthal and his fellow Atomic
Energy Commission nominees
today for what may be the last
conference before the committee
votes on their confirmation.
The meeting. set for 2 pm, was
closed.
Although one committee member,
Senator Milikin, Republican, of Col
orado, said he saw little standing
in the way of a vote, Chairman
Hickenlooper said it might be neces-
sary to delay the decision until to-
morrow.
Bricker to Keep Open Mind.
While refusing to say how he will
vote, Senator Bricker, Republican,
of Ohio, another committee member,
told reporters he will not be infiu-
enced by any complaints that Mr..
Lilienthal tolerated" Communist
cell in the Tennessee Valley Author
ity or that he is New Dealer.
Senator Bricker's Ohio colleague,
Senator Taft, previously announced
his opposition to the former iva
chairman on the grounds that he is
too soft" on issues connected with
Communism and Russia.
Several other Republican Senators
have said they will vote against
confirming Mr. Lilienthal because
they regard him as New Dealer.
Stewart Attacks Nominee.
On the Senate floor yesterday,
Senator Stewart, Democrat, of Ten
nessee read letter which he de-
clared proved that Mr.. Lilienthal
had served two masters" in viola
tion of a Wisconsin law.
The letter was submitted by Mr.
Lilienthal himself to the Atomic
Energy Committee last Monday as
evidence he had not violated a
State law which forbids a member
Of the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission from pursuing any
other business.
Senator Stewards contention was
challenged from the Senate floor by
Senator Knowland, Republican, of
California, member of the COM
mittee. He said the evidence failed
to support Senator Stewards claim,
and declared there had been no at
tempt to hide the arrangement that
Mr.. Lilienthal made for winding up
his business affairs when he ac-.
cepted position on the Wisconsin
commission in 1881.
Senator Knowland's rebuttal was
taken to mean that the young Cali
fornian probably will support Mr..
Lilienthal when the committee
votes.

Wheat is moi only the timber from
which the staff OF life is constructed.
il is also a political ferment that
starts operating either when people
have too few OF the golden berries or.
when-in the case OF farmers-they
are told they raise too many, and go
bankrupt.
The price of wheat, as ii relates to
farm operating cost in the northwest
has been the yeast that touched off
past farm revolts and today this fer
ment is again liberated and at work.
Grain farmers OF course know that
in many places in the world people are
starving for want of the wheat with
which they are beginning to be plag'
ued. Farmers are being told again that
SURPRISES are piling up and the price
will no doubt drop sadly. But initiation
has skyrocketed farm living and oper
ating costs. SO there is an uneasy feel
ing again, and farmers take another
look at their hole card and wonder il
they can't do something about it.

They should also include periodic

Of the highest possible type, services

doctor to know enough or to own
enough apparatus to practice medicine
the way it is done in the clinics and
hospitals connected with our medical
schools. This brand of medicine, we
are proud to say is the best in the
world. The most any honest family
