In rejecting the bill, Mr.. Tru-

unlike purchasers of coal and
OIL" the President continued,
purchasers of natural gas can
not easily move from one pro-
ducer to another in search of
lower prices. Natural gas is trans
ported to consumers by pipe lines,
and is distributed in a given con-
suming area by a single company"
This and the relatively small
number of producers and gath
erers, Mr.. Truman said, serve to
limit competition.
Under these circumstances" he
added, there is a clear possibility
that competition will not be effec-
tive, at least in some cases, in
holding prices to reasonable levels
Accordingly, to remove authority Ia

Truman MESSAGE on Gas Veto

ducers and gatherers. although
those prices have been advancing.
1t is only natural that prices have
risen. since the interstate lines
built during and since the war
have offered q far wider market
than existed previously and have
resulted in more competition
among buyers. This process of
price adjustment will probably
continue. and it is right that 1t
should if held within reasonable
limits.
Sees Strong Incentives.
Accordingly. producers and
gatherers are finding, and I am
sure will continue to find, strong
incentives to search out new
sources of natural gas and to sell
their gas in interstate commerce.
/ believe the production and sale
OF natural gas will continue to
grow rapidly, to the benefit of
consumers and of all the busi-
neSsmen concerned with serving
them. I see no danger to that
growth in the continuance Of the
authority of the Federal Power
Commission to regulate sales of
gas to interstate pipe lines.
The continuance Of that au-
thority will adequately protect the
public interest by permitting the
commission to prevent unreason-
able and excessive prices, which
would give large windfall profits
to gas producers. at the expense
OF consumers. with no benefit to
the Nation in terms of additional
exploration and production. Such
cases are few. if any. at the pres
ent time. but the authority to
deal with them in the future
clearly should not be dissipated.
Experience may demonstrate
that some improvement of the
existing statute may be desirable.
I have no doubt that the COM
mission will operate reasonably
and in the public interest in
carrying out the present law, but
I would have no objection to
reasonable amendments if they
are found to be needed.
To withdraw entirely from this
field of regulation. however. i'm
PEELED only by imaginary fears.
and in the face of a record of
accomplishment under the pres
ent law which is successful from
the standpoint of consumer. dis
tributor. carrier, and producer
alike. would not be in the public
interest. Accordingly, I am COM
PEELED to return this bill without
my approval.

Mcmahon Proposes
$1,000 Pay Raises
For Acc Members

Senator Mcmahon, Democrat of
Connecticut yesterday proposed
$5,o00-a-year pay increases for
members of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
He said he would offer a bill
tomorrow to increase the pay Of
the chairman of the commission
from $17,500 to $22,500 and that
of the other four commissioners
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Senator Mcmahon. who is chair
man of the Senate House Atomic
Committee, said:
'It is my hope that the intro
duction of this bill may assist the
President somewhat in securing
the services of a fully qualified
man for the now vacant post Of
Acc chairman
The increases would lift the
chairman into the pay brack-
ct Of cabinet officers and give
the commissioners the prestige
of near top-level pay within the
Government.
Outside Jobs Forbidden.
Senator Mcmahon pointed out
that Acc members are the only
high Federal officials expressly
forbidden by law to engage in any
other business or employment.
Therefore, he added, IAN ade-
quate salary is particularly indi-
Gated"
The chairmanship of the COM
mission has been vacant since
David E. Lilienthal relinquished
1t in February. Sumner T. Pike,
who also wants to quit, is acting
chairman.
Senator Mcmahon also said he
would propose a definite three
year term for the commission's
general manager, who at present
is Carroll L. Wilson, and an in
crease in the pay of that Office
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Under the existing law, he said,
the general manager does not
serve for any specified length of
time. Mr.. Wilson has held the
position since the commission
took over the atomic program from
the Army on January l, 1947.
I'm view of the great impor-
tance of his job" Senator McMa-
hon said, provision for distinct
term impresses me as appro-
pirate"
Regrets Strauss Resignation.
There has been no indication
when President Truman will NOM
mate a chairman of the commits
sion. The resignation of Louis L.
Strauss as a commissioner took
effect Friday.
Senator Mcmahon expressed re-
gret that Mr.. Strauss was leaving
and in letter asked him to serve
as consultant to the Senate
House Committee.
"You are leaving the commits
sion a going concern, vigorous and
alert" Senator Mcmahon wrote.
Il bespeak the sentiments of the
members of the Joint Committee
when I say to you that we all hope
you will consent to serve as a con-
sultant to the Joint Congressional
Committee on Atomic Energy. We
will thus be able to avail ourselves
of your advice, which is greatly
appreciated by every member of
the committee, regardless of
party"

with a total of 800 individual

roughly two-thirds of all prac-
ticing architects in the Nation.
The number of registered arch
fleets exceeds this number, but
a percentage of the total are not
in active practice, a spokesman
said. In order to pursue the pro-
fession, architects are required
in all but three States to be
registered" under the State and
District laws. The States that
still do not require registration
are Kansas, Wyoming and Ver-
mont. Ala officials said.
This years convention will con-
centrate its technical discussions
on the broad theme of urban and
regional planning. A highlight
of the convention will be distri-

the system practiced here would
be applicable elsewhere.
About 5000 copies of the study
will be printed so that it can be
distributed not only to delegates
but to interested architects and
planning officials all over the
