Hicken|ooper Denies
Asking Military Rule
Over Atomic Energy
By the kssoeioisd Press


Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can, of Iowa said last night he
does not favor any change in the
law to give military officials con-
troll of the Nations atomic energy
program.
Senator Hickenlooper issued a
statement clarifying his position
after Senator Mcmahon, Demo-
crat, of Connecticut had tele-
sraphed Perry Brown, National
commander Of the American
Legion, that any change in the
principle of civilian control would
'inflict a powerful blow upon our
national security"
Senator Mcmahon is chairman
of the Senate House Committee
on Atomic Energy, Senator Hick-
enlooper is the ranking Republi-
can member.
Spoke at Legion Meeting.
Senator Mcmahon told a re-
porter he sent the telegram after
the New York Times quoted Sena-
tor Hickenlooper as telling closed
Legion meeting at Philadelphia
last Saturday that "he had rec
commended that the balance of
power in atomic energy control
be shifted from the civilian to
the military"
: Senator Hickenlooper said the
newspapers Interpretation was
!: completely opposite to things
actually sAid." He made public a
telegram to the Times which said
in part:
I'm effect. what said was that
q substantial part Of the philos-
ophy underlying the present
atomic energy law is pointed
toward reliable and satisfactory
international controls OF atomic
energy and atomic weapons.
Poses Question.
"Inasmuch as international con-
troll has made no progress and
present hopes are dim and we still
have the sole responsibility for
atomic energy, I raised the ques-
ton as to whether or not we
should re-examine our policy
under the act with the view to
giving the military increased re-
sponsibility in custody and con-
troll over finished weapons only.
II did not affirmatively recon-
mend such course but only posed
the question as to the desirability
Of investigating this particular
field.
Il affirmatively stated that I
believe in and support the basic
policy Of civilian control over the
atomic energy program and I
have no thought or idea Of placing
the military in control of the
program.
".At no time have I advocated,
nor do I now advocate. any basic
change in the Atomic Energy Act
that would place the military in
control of the atomic energy
program"
President Decides.
Senator Mcmahon later told re-
porters that the President de-
cided who should have custody of
finished A-bombs as he is author
tzed to do under the 1916 Atomic
Energy Act. The President, Sem
ator MeMahon continued, decided
to leave them with the Atomic
Energy Commission, and my ex-
animation discloses this in no way
impafrs our defense and the Pres
ident reached the correct de-
cision."
Senator Mcmahon added:
There is a steady but small
minority who continue to hope
they can upset the 0946) Nc
Mahon Act, but I predict after a
report is issued, such efforts will
be dampened"
While Senator Mcmahon re-
fused to elaborate on his refer
ence to report, he apparently
referred to the findings which the
joint committee will issue in the
future on it's investigation of the
