While the Presidents reference
TO "pre-election campaigns" could
be taken as a dart at Senator

member of the Joint Congress

for reelection next year.

reassuring to know that he Is

Hopes to Create BENEFIT.
The Connecticut Senator agreed
that people should not get "hys-
terical" when the word atom ID
mentioned. and said he hopes the
inquiry by his committee will
support and promote the best
interests of he United States"
One Of the questions to be set
tied by the committee is whether
to direct the public hearings next
week toward the specific COM
plants that gave rise to the in
vestigation. or proceed with an
overall survey Of what the Acc
has accomplished since Mr.. Lilien-
thal's commission ushered in civil
ian control of the atom two years
ago.
The specific complaints are that
ct least one Communist has been
awarded a commission scholar
ship for nonsecret research work
and that a small quantity OF
Uranium disappeared from Chi
cago laboratory.
Since the uproar started on
Capitol Hill. the commission has
decided to apply the customary
nom Communist affidavit to all
student fellowship applicants
whether for nonsecret or CLASSIFIED
work With regard to the missing
uranium. the official contention Il
that all but one-eighth Of q gram
has been recovered.
Senator Hickenlooper. one of the
best informed men In Congress on
atomic energy. also declared EN-
phatically yesterday that he is not
questioning in any way the pa
triotism or personal honesty Of Mr..
Lilienthal. He repeated last night
that his suggestion that Mr..
Lilienthal resign was based entire
Iy on q disagreement with the
commission chairman's admins
tratitve policies.
Commenting on the Presidents
statement, Senator Hickenlooper,
said Mr.. Truman's knowledge Of
the program comes from the COM
missions reports "and he is en-
titled to his own opinion" The
