Pike Unlikely TO GET
Second Consideration
| Despite Truman Plea
By Cecil HoiIond

Little chance was seen today
for Senate members of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee to heed
President Truman's wish and re-
consider their rejection of Sum-
ner T. Pike for a new four-year
term on the Atomic Energy Com
mission.
Mr.. Truman made his sugges-
ton at a White House news con-
ference yesterday afternoon a few
hours after five of the nine Sen
ators on the committee had voted
to ask the Senate to turn down
the nomination.
Chairman Mcmahon of the
Joint Committee, who voted for
Mr.. Pike, saw no chance of the
committees reversing its position.
I'm hopeful" he added, that
the Senate will feel differently
about him and will vote to con-
firm him"
Backers Aren't Hopeful.
But supporters of Mr.. Pike were
far from hopeful the Senate would
do that. The Senate usually goes
along with committee recommen-
dations.
Senator Mcmahon said he
would make no effort to obtain q
Senate vote on the nomination
until after July 4. Mr.. Pike. act
ing chairman of the commission
will be out of the position. at least
temporarily, as his present term
expires at midnight tonight
There is no provision in the law
for him to continue in office until
the Senate acts on the nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Truman described Mr.. Pike
58-year-old Maine Republican. as
one of the commissions ablest
members. He said he could not
understand the vote.
Rejection Was Surprise.
The turn down came as some
thing of a surprise. While there
had been some rumblings of dis
content with Mr.. Pike, there had
been-and never were-any for
NAL charges or reasons given for
the refusal of a majority of the
Senate members of the Joint
Committee to vote for him.
Mr.. Pike also was mystif1ed. In
a statement he said:
Il have no idea why the five
members of the committee voted
against my nomination. In the
more than three years of my serv-
ice on the Atomic Energy Com
mission to my knowledge no mem
Der of the Joint Committee has
questioned either my performance
in the commission or my qualifica-
tions. I can only stand on my
record"

Queui|Ie Seems Sure
0fAssembIy Approval
As French Premier
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, June 30.-Premier-Des-
ignate Henri Queuille goes before
the National Assembly today for
confirmation of his appointment
He is virtually sure to get it.
Mr.. Queuille needs 311 of a
possible 621 ballots. He may poll
more than 400. Only Communists
are certain to oppose him. Debate
preceding the ballot is scheduled
to start this afternoon.
Mr.. Queuille served as prime
minister for 13 months up to last
October when he was succeeded
by Georges Bidault. It was a post
war endurance record for the pre-
carious post.
Bidault Outside.
He held the jobs of interior
minister and vice premier in Mr.
Bidault's cabinet, which was
forced out Saturday after losing
a confidence vote on a domestic
wage-increase issue. Mr.. Bidault
now may take a key post in Mr.
Queuille's cabinet.
Since any cabinet must have q
majority to stay in power, France
is bound to have essentially the
same type of government until a
new election shifts the balance In
Parliament.
The basis for the present ma.
jority is Mr.. Bidault's Popula,
Republican Movement (MRP). 9

National Assembly, the next
largest group after the Commu-
nists' 1856.

rlght Of center) have some SC
votes.
The Socialists have about 10C
votes. They swung with the ma
Jor1ty on the main issues until
last Saturday when they shifted
sides and the government fell.
Mr.. Queuille's confirmation yir.
tually was assured Wednesday
when the Socialists secretary
general, Guy Mollet. promised to
vote for it.
Mr.. Queuille has a powerful
weapon to insure continued Social
ist support-the threat of a new
election. Under the constitution

vote for Parliament any time he
is defeated on a confidence vote
