TO FIGHT
DAVID LILIENTHAL
COP Whip Joins Bipartisan
Chorus Against Atomic
Nominee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 P)-
Senator Wherry Of Nebraska. the
Republican whip, added his voice
today to a swelling chorus of BIZ
partisan opposition to President
Truman's appointment of David E.
Lilienthal to head the Atomic Ener-
gy commission.
He said he had no desire to take
part in the argument as to whether
Lilientha1 as a Communist sympa-
thizer, but asserted the post should
go to a man about whom not a
shadow of question" can be rails
ed.
As Wherry announced he will
fight the nomination, Req. Cox
(D-Ga) told the House he thinks
Lilienthal ought to ask the Presi-
dent to withdraw the appointment.
Cox said Lilienthal, former chair
man of the Tennessee Valley au-
thority, is mot the man" to head
a commission which will be en-
trusted with the atomic bomb
secret.
Hits AchesOn
These attacks came after Sena-
tor Edwin c. johnson (D-Colo) told
Undersecretary of State Dean
Acheson at a Senate hearing he
believes release of the Acheson-
Lilienthal report on the interna-
tional control of atomic energy
was 1.-The greatest blunder in di-
plomacy this country has ever
made"
Johnson complained that its re-
lease had been embarrassing
to the Nanate Atomic committee
and to the United Nations com.
mission working on international
controls.
1T just seems to me that it was
issued to get the jump on Con
gress and on the organization that
was trying to work out interna-
tional controls" the Senator SAID.

ously that eff there is any crit.

The telephones began TO ring

Immediately reporters and
cameramen dashed out search

fire department said the blaze
was at the foot of Greenfield
street. The Fire department

reporter learned.
Dashing out Front street the

But the entire section Of the

Politicians Battle
Over Coal Shortage
Churchill Charges Attlee
Regime Incompetent
As Nation Suffers

LONDON, Feb. 10.-OP-Wins-
ton Churchill charged the British
Labor government tonight with
Incompetence in high Places for
its handling of the nations coal
shortage and industrial crisis
which has shut down more than
90 per cent of the Kingdoms in
dustry, but withheld ''for another
day" his awaited demand for a
parliamentary vote of censure.
Both Churchill and Hugh Dali
ton, Laborite chancellor of the ex-
chequer, stated, however, during
debate in the House of Commons
that neither the Conservatives nor
the Laborites would consent to the
formation of a coalition govern
ment.
Reports had become increasing
ly widespread that such a coalition
would take shape soon to lead the
United Kingdom out of the gravest
emergency it has faced since the
war.
Churchill, the Conservative lead
er, began the debate while Prime
Minister Clement R. Attlee broad
cast an island-wide appeal to the
British public to cooperate in the
dangerous coal shortage which has
limited power production, brought
the closing of industrial plants in
SO of the "a counties and shires in
England and Wales and thrown
more than 1000, 900 persons out of
work.

morrow.

BACKED BY BAR
Rep. Kermon Indicates
Support OF Grange In
County Set-Up
BACKED BY A

Senator A. A. Lennon last night
outlined to The Star his reasons
for proposing legislation slated to
remove from the hands of the
county commissioners the power to
set the salaries of New Hanover
county officials.
He struck back at a contention
of a member of the board of com
missioners that there was a motive
behind the move b y saying that
his measure was designed "to put
back the power to set the salary
of officials in the hands of the gen.
eral Assembly-back where it be-
'longs!"
Lennon asserted that it was not
right for elected representatives of
the people of the county to set the
salary of other elected representa-
tives. He said that it was his aim
to see that a salary on par with
the representatives of other
counties in the state be paid to
the officials of New Hanover.
When asked whether or not the
salaries paid to New Hanover
county officials were less than in
other counties, he replied that they
were less in counties with the same
property evaluation and tax rate.
Lennon pointed out that the Bar
Association of New Hanover county
had called for a measure transfer.
ring the control of set salaries from
the hands of the county commits
sloners to t h e General Assembly
and said that even if he did not
have any personal feeling about the
matter he would have to take into
consideration the petition from the
bar group.
Representative Robert M Ker-
mon yesterday indicated his sup
port of the bill as proposed by
Lennon, saying that unless action
is taken to abolish the authority
of the commissioners in the salary
question then a perpetuation of Of
flee holders working together with
each bound to support the other
would be set up.
The county commissioners yes
terday voted to have wires sent to
the president of the senate and the
speaker of the house requesting a
30-day delay before adoption of the
bill. A public hearing on the matter
was suggested by a member of the
board during the session.
The measure in debate would re-
peal a law enacted in 1871 en-
towering the commissioners to
raise the salary of an elected Of
.ficial. not more than $700 in one
year not lower the amount of pay
less than $500. This act was
