TWO HELD IN
 GEORGE POLK
 MURDERCA5E

ATHENS, March 16.-(R-The po- ice formally accused a Greek Com munist journalist and his mother yesterday of complicity in the murder O. George Polk, Columbia 3roadcasting System correspondent.
 The. charges against Gregory 5taktopoulis and his mother, Anna, were read to them in their police ceIls in Salonika. An informed source said they are booked for
 rial starting April II. The trial date has not been announced offi- ,ially.
 Polk, a former University of Alaska student. was bound hand md foot and then shot through the head, and his body thrown into 5alonika Bay last May. He ap- 5arently was lured to his death with promises of an interview with he former Greek Communist lead er,t Markos Vafiades.
 Public prosecutor Christis Nous axis in a report to the court pre- to trial of the two ac- used said there is no slightest aoubt Polk was assassinated by Communists. The police seek an- other Communist, Adam Mouzenid- IS, whom they have named as the lctual slayer.
 The prosecutors report said Nich- 0las Zafiriou, a Greek Communist, told the police that Folks death vas ordered by John Ioannides, the nan who later succeeded Markos as chief of the Con- Haunist guerrillas.
 Staktopoulis, the report continued, las confessed that he led Polk to rowboat in which the newsman vas slain in Salonika Bay.

 New Atomic Project

WASHINGTON, March l6.-lR- Atom powered ships and submarines may be only five or six years from reality
 Senator McMahon D-Conn) an- nounces that the Atomic Energy Commission is starting huge new atomic project which may pro- duoe mobile atomic power plants within that time.
 The chairman of the Senate House Atomic Energy Committee gave reporters these facts after a meeting with Chairman David Lili- enthal and other Commission off, cials and engineers:

 3. The project eventually will be about the size of the Hanford Wash, atomic development and will give work to several thousand"

plies on the form. He then waits
for payment.
VA estimates it win take six
months to complete payment of
dividends. 1t might be done quick
er.
This special dividend is the re-
suit of two factors:
/. A lower,than-expected mortal
ity rate among veterans after dis
charge. (War-connected deaths are
paid by special appropriations and
do not affect the dividend kitty.)
2. An out-dated mortality table
which does not allow for the con-
stantly increasing life span but
which the law compels VA to use.
1t is called a special dividend
because:
/. 1t is computed from the date
the insurance was purchased to
the policy's 1948 anniversary date.
2. 1t cannot be left on deposit
with VA at interest (althOugh a
veteran can endorse his check to
VA as advance payment of NSLI
premiums and this will draw 3%c
interest).
3. 1t is payable to former, as
well as present, NSLI policy hold
ers.
4. 1t must be applied for. Tin the
future dividends can be expected
to be paid automatically on an
annual basis and may be left will
VA at interest also automatically,
5. Benefciaries or heirs of de
ceased veterans are eligible to col
leet the deceased's dividend, re
/ gardless of whether the policy wa!
/ in force at the time the veteran
died. But they need not apply TO,
it. 1t is to be paid to them auto
matically.

What 1t Means:
The Fund Committee
Fight In Congress
BY CLARKE BEACH
AP Newsfeatures

WASHINGTON - Each year the
foreign aid bills. reopen the old war
between the policy committees of
Congress and the appropriations
committees. Each year the hear
ings and debates on the authorize
ton bill seem to be repeated when
the appropriation bill comes up.
1t looks like a re-run of the same
old feature, and the ordinary read
er probably feels like saying "this
is where I came in" Why does
Congress have to cover the same
ground twice?
The theory sounds pretty good.
First, the general merits of mea-
sure are considered. The special
lists on foreign affairs work the
matter over thoroughly in commit
tee. Then Congress passes an au-
thorization bill. On April IA of this
year, for example, it decided to
carry on ECA for another year
and to provide almost $6,OOO,OOO,-
900 for the work.
Next the appropriation bill for
the same program comes up. The
appropriation committees look in
to the matter and decide what the
government can afford to- spend
taking into consideration all the

BILE array of legislative hurdles, al
though they have been the most
conspicuous. The dual considera-
ton of many controversial mea-
sures is becoming more and more
common. The result is that the
appropriations Committees, and
particularly their chairmen, ac-
quire more. and more power.
Once the House rose in it's wrath
and cut the appropriations COM
mittee down to size. In 1885 the
committee chairman had acquired
so much authority that he, rather
than the speaker, was the man to
be consulted if a member wished
to get the floor for one of his pro-
jects. Any time he chose he could
thrust q privileged appropriation
bill upon the floor and block action
