Under this plan of organiza-

Office of Defense Mobilization will
determine general policies very
much like the Office of War Mo-
bilization did in World War II

ministration will have about the
same powers as did the former
War Production Board.
However, while WPB conduct
ed both programing and operat-

istration will concentrate on pro-

to the operating agencies the ac-

Mr.. Wilson said he believed the

program could be handled by the
Nations industry without bring

concerned.

He said that plans already are

Iator Pepper, was accompanied
down the aisle by relative, for

served as Democratic Senator
from New Jersey about Is years
ago.
Greenwood Absent.
The meeting of the Senate,
Vice President Barkley explained,
had historic as well as scenic i'm
portance today. It was 90 years
ago this month, he said, that the
Senate first moved into its new
chamber. Twice during the 81st
Congress that expired at noon to-
day. the Senate temporarily oc-
cupied it's old chamber which at
one time housed the Supreme
Court.
One prospective member Of the
House was not on hand for the
swearing in today. He was Ernest
Greenwood, a Democrat who, on
the basis Of election day returns,
defeated former Representative
Kingsland Macy. Republican, of
New York. That election dispute
is now in the New York courts.
Eight Women Sworn in.
Among the 434 Representatives
sworn in were the following eight
women: Representatives Kelly of
New York and Eosone of Utah,
both Democrats, and Church of
Illinois, Hardin of Indiana, Rogers
of Massachusetts,, Thompson of
Michigan. Bolton of Ohio and st.
George of New York, all Repub-
licanS.
After the swearing-in ceremo-
nles, many Of the House members,
particularly the new ones, strolled
about the chamber or in the lob
bies for a closer inspection of the
decorations and the controversial
plaques commemorating great law
makers Of history. A plaque that
seemed to hold the greatest inter-
est was over the Speakers en-
trance and set forth an admoni-
ton by Daniel Webster to "see
whether we also in our day may
not accomplish something worthy
TO be remembered.

Galleries Fill Slowly.
Relatives and friends Of the
members of Congress seemed
slower than usual in filling the
galleries. Fewer than 80 were in
the House gallery by II am. and
when House Clerk Ralph Roberts
called the body to order at noon,
there still were some vacant seats.
These. however, were filled in a
short time.
Democratic House members had
closed caucus for a half hour
to agree on Speaker Rayburn for
reelection and for other party
offices.
The only sign of disagreement
as they emerged was on the ques-
ton of the blue. silver and tan
color scheme and the walnut
panels in the chamber. None of
the criticism was as vehement as
had been voiced in recent weeks
by some members.
Lords Prayer Recited.
"We'u soon get used to seeing
| it." a member remarked rather
| grimly.
| II hope it soon get used to hear
ing u.s." another said.
The House convened on an
unusually quiet and somber note.
At the conclusion of the prayer
by the Rev. Bernard Braskamp.
House chaplain. the members and
spectators joined with him in re-
citing the Lords Prayer.
In the Senate, where the gall
leries were filled to capacity half
hour before noon, three of the
Senators attracted particular at
tention from the galleries when
they walked down the center aisle
to be sworn in by the Vice Presi-
dent.
Taft Wears Cutaway Coat.
Senator Taft, often symbolized
as mfr. Republican" in the elec-
ton he overwhelmingly won in
Ohio last November, was the only
member wearing cutaway coat.

This project. being carried out
at the Atomic Energy Commits
sion plant at Arco, Idaho. now Is
engaged in development Of two
land-based prototypes of possible
atomic marine power plants. The
two types are based on entirely
different principles.
Otherwise the present world
situation is causing little change
in the basic program of research,
Gordon Dean, chairman of the
Acc. said at a press conference
yesterday.
Development Being Speeded.
This does not mean that such
marine power plants, most often
reported as intended for SUBJ
marine propulsion, are in inn
mediate prospect. it was empha-
sized. The most specific, but
unofficial, estimates in the past
are for a development program
to last five years. This time, it
is now likely, may be materially
reduced.
It would be a great mistake,
Mr.. Dean said, to curtail basic
research in the whole atomic
energy field in order to specialize
on immediate war needs.
Some changes it was said, may
be sought in the Atomic Energy
Act to permit freer cooperation
with Canada and the United
Kingdom. These will be to ia
cilitate possible exchange of per-
Sonnel and material, now rigidly
restricted by the act.
Mr.. Dean said fatty in answer to
question that Russia does have"
the atomic bomb. The question
was based on recent public dis
cussion of whether the Russians
actually did explode an atomic
bomb in the summer Of 1949.

Employees Activity Favored.
One of the committees major
Recommendations was that the
prohibition against participation
in elections by Federal employees
should be eliminated or at least
notified"
"Other provisions with respect
to coercion and intimidation of
voters by employees. restraints
upon the solicitation of campaign
contributions from Government
workers." the committee said,
should provide the necessary
safeguards against the abuses
which the general prohibition on
election activities by Federal
workers was designed to achieve.
No good reason can be ad-
vanced why Federal employees who
so desire should not be permitted
to be active at least in State or
local elections where party labels
are used"
The committee condemned the
present limitations On campaign
expenditures of S., 900 or cents a
vote for members of the House
and $4,000 or 3 cents a vote for
members of the Senate. as "com-
Ipleteiy unrealistic."
In some cases, the committee
said, It found that some candi-
dates had spent more than $18, 900
in the primary-or nearly four
times as much as they were legally
allowed to spend in their election.
In many cases, expenditures in
connection with primaries were
found to be greater than those in
the general election.
AS a result, the committee rec
commended redefinition of the
term election" to include the
nominating process whether by
direct primary election or NOM
mating convention.
Other recommendations in
cluded:
/. Redefinition of the term
political committee" to include
all organizations seeking to in
fluence directly or indirectly the
nomination or election of candi-
dates for Office.
2. Elimination entirely, or sub
stantial increase of the present
ceiling limitations upon contribu-
tions to and expenditures by can
didates.
3. Adjustment of what the COM
mittee described as the ''un-
realistic limitation" of SO million
which may be received or spent
by national political committees
during calendar year.
More Tight Urged.
4. Development of more effec-
tive publicity about campaign
contributions and expenditures by
establishing single national de-
pository for the filing of reports
by candidates and national COM
mittees.
S. Requirements that political
committees be forbidden to ,e-
ceive contributions and make ex-
