 IS DEBATED
By FRANCIS J. KELLY

WASHINGTON, March 29. -iR-- A weekend recess today delayed a test vote by the Senate on the sharply debated nomination of Da- vid E. Lilienthal to be Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.
 The test will come on motion by Senator Bricker (R-Ohio), to send the nomination back to the Atomic Energy Committee, along with those of the other four com missioners and Carroll L. Wilson, General Manager
 Bricker voted against Lilienthal in committee and characteri2isd him in a two hour speech yester- day as man of utter incompe- tence" to huild an organization to protect the rights of the American people in the atomic field
 The motion to send the nomina- tions back came as surprise end- ing to his prepared address. Lil- icileiidi , suk'poitt were llOt Itduy for a vote and Senator KnoWland tR-Calif), immediately took the floor in support of the nominee.
 Senator Taft (R-Ohio), also op- poses Lilienthals confirmation but he insisted that the debate go on until all interested Senators had their say before voting on Bricker's motion.

EASIER 10 DELAY AID
 PROGRAMS

WASHINGTON, March 29.-P-- Congressional plans for an Easter holiday heightened the odds today against final action on the ad- ministrations S4o0, 100000 Greek Turkish aid measure before the middle of April.
 The homeward trek by the law makers-many want to talk over the diplomatic issues with consti- tuents-also stymied the separate measure to authorize 350,000,000 of relief for Italy, Greece, Hungary, Austria Poland and China.
 There appeared some doubt a quorum can be mustered in the House next week for action on a S2,452, ,497 ,863 deficiency appropria tions bill which includes another $500 100000 fir relief in American occupation zones.
 Should quorum call be de- manded in a challenge over any of the deficiency bills contents, it might force a delay in action un- til the House recess has ended on April g. In any event, Senate ap- proval of this measure seemed highly unlikely before then.

TEE-HIT-T0N LAWSUIT IS
 DISMISSED

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-- R-The Ninth Federal Circuit Court today affirmed the dismiss sal of a suit brought in Juneau by the Tee Hit-Ton tribe of Tlin- git Indians against the Alaska Fishery Management and the U. s. Department of Interiors Fish and Wild Life Service.
 The Indians contended that an order prohibiting fishing had des- troyed their exclusive right to take fish for commercial purposes from Salmon Bay and Lake Bay on the Northeast Coast of Prince of Wales Island The suit said the Indians had taken from &C., GOO to 375,OO0 pounds of red sal mon each year
 The action was dismissed be- cause the United States govern ment had not authorized the suit. The Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs refused to bring suit in the name of the tribe.
 The Court here said that last year Congress created a commits sion giving Indians the right to litigate over asserted wrongful gov ernment acts, and that a new ac- tion might be brought under that jurisdiction.

MORE FUNDS
 NEEDED FOR
 VAL RELIEF

WASHINGTON, March 29.--lR- Carrying a jolting reminder that the cost of World War II didn't end when the last shot was fired, a $2,451 ,497, 1883 deficiency appro- priation bill went to the House with appropriations committee backing.
 Nearly 75 percent of the total is accounted for by two items di- rectly connected with the war: S1 ,451 ,894 800 for the Veterans Ad- ministration and $300,000,000 for relief in Occupied areas abroad.
 Even so, the VA allotment is S551 ,020,000 below budget esti- mates. The relief fund is exactly what the President had asked. The cut in the bill below administra- ton requests is $628, l40, 1856.
 Since the money is to augment funds previously appropriated for the current fiscal year ending next June 30, the measure has no di- rect bearing on the Presidents s l948 budget That is the one that House Republicans have promised to slash by s6000.000.000 How ever, the bill does affect the bud get for the present fiscal year and may determine whether the treas ury winds up this year in the red or the black.

 RETURN OF
 PRISONERS
Britain Proposes Early Re- patriation of Germans
 Russia Holds Majority

!. MOSCOW March 29.-IR-Bri- tain proposed tonight to the Soviet Union, France and the United States that all prisoners of war be returned to Germany by the end of 1948.
 This action was disclosed as the Foreign Ministers Council decided to come to grips with the key questions of German economic and political problems, in line with Secretary of State Marshall's plan to complete discussion of these military matters by Wednesday night.
 The British recommended that France, Russia, Britain and the United States furnish to the Allied Control Council for Germany not later than June l, 1947, their plans for repatriation of the prisoners, including provisions whereby such repatriation would be completed by Dec. 3l, 1948."
 Russia holds more prisoners than any of the other nations.
 An authorized source, meanwhile, said talks were taking place be- tween Soviet and British officials concerning revision of the British Soviet alliance, but that no con- crete developments were expected for some time The discussions grew out of the talk Monday between British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Prime Minister Stalin.
 In a one-hour session, the short- est of this conference thus lar, the Ministers agreed on a schedule for the German discussions and set up a special committee to attempt to draw up a directive on the lesser problems of the report of the Allied Control Council for Germany.
 The agreed agenda for Monday, summing up three weeks of pro- posals made thus far, was:
 1.-Germany as an economic un- it, including separations; plus a review of the levels of industry, including industrial demilitariza- ton.
 2.-The form and scope of pro- visional German government.

NINE MAN GROUP IS
 REPORTING
Documents Show 0rgani- zdtion Is The Agent"
 of Russia U. 5.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-lP--- on un-American Activities said to- day the group may vote 5 to 4 against outlawing the Communist Party, but is sure to recommend drastic new legal curbs on Com munist maneuvering in this coun- try.
 The member, who withheld use of his name, said the nine-man committee may be unanimous in support of Communist legisla- ton short of making the whole party an illegal organization.
 Chairman Thomas tR-NJD, told reporters the results of week of hearings will have to crystalline before the committee can adequate ly decide what it is going to do about outlawing the Communist Party"
 The Committee made public last night a report which it said fur nished historical proof running back to 1919 that the party in this country is the agent of Russia
 The report listed 92 documents which it called typical directives from Moscow affecting the Con- munist movement in the United States"
 Thomas said these were proof that the party is "a Fifth Column pawn of Moscow"
 If various members pool their ideas. the committee may report that it can fight Communism vi- gorously by continuing to expose it and also by:
 Saying in one or more laws, with appropriate penalties, that it is il- legal to urge or conspire to over throw the government by unconsti- tutional methods or by force anu violence.
 Tightening up on fingerprinting of aliens on passports and yisas, and on registration.
 Strengthening the law against treason to get at horderline cases. Requiring the Communist Party to publish it's membership lists and sources of income.
 Recommending that the FBI be strengthened and perhaps that it be made independent of the Jus tice Department.
 Hearings on bills to outlaw the Communist Party ended yesterday with a Communist protest that the committee is interested only ill character assassination.
