Senate May Revise
Rules Of Subpoena,
know|and Declares
eV the Assoeioted Press

Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican, of California said today
the Senate Republican Policy
Committee may study change
in subpoena rules, but he de-
clared there is no G. o. P. move
afoot to. curb the scope of in
vestigations by Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wis
conSin.
Senator Knowland, the Senate
majority leader, said in an inter-
view the policy group may look
into the wisdom of requiring ap-
prevail by a committee quorum
"a fixed number of members
that varies by committees)
before issuance of any subpoena
for witnesses or documents.
This issue was raised last
month. when Chairman Velde
acted alone in signing a SUBJ
poena for former President
Truman to- testify before the
House Un-American Activities
Committee in the Harry Dexter
White case Mr.. Truman refused
to honor the subpoena. not be-
cause Of, the way it was issued,
but on the ground that Con-
greSs may not require an ex-
President. to testify. ,t
May Seek Classification.
Although there has been no
comparable action in the Senate
Senator Knowland said he
thinks it might be wise to clarity
the rules on this point.
There has been unconfirmed
talk that some Republican lead
ers would like to curb the far
flung investigation activities of
Senator McCarthy's permanent
Investigations subc o m m ittee
Some members of the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
grumbled privately that Senator
Mccarthy was encroaching on
their field of hunting for Com
muniSts.
Senator Knowland said he
hadn't heard of any move among
Republicans to limit Senator
McCarthy's activities. He add
ed, however, that he doesn't
know what the Democrats may
propose.
Overlapping Conceded.
"It is difficult to define the
field of investigations because,
under the (1946) La Toilette
Monroney Reorganization Act,
the authority of the committees
often overlaps," Senator Know
land said. II don't see any prac-
teal way Of changing this Sit
uation short of agreements
among the chairmen on the
scope of their inquiries"
Although he didn't say it in
so many words, Senator Know
lands attitude indicated that
Republicans don't plan to sup
port a resolution by Senator
Monroney. Democrat. of Okla
homa, which would have the
Senate itself define the field of
each committees investigations.

Atomic Furnaces Could
Increase Fish Yield

A new but possibly "fanciful"
idea for using atomic energy by
immersing atomic furnaces deep
into the sea to cause the up
yelling of chemically rich wa
tiers that would increase fish
production was voiced today by
a marine biologist.
Harden Taylor of New York
City told the American Associ-
alton for the Advancement of
Science that if such a system
could be set up on an interna-
tional basis it would go far to-
ward overcoming world food
shortages he said some scien-
lists are fearing as result of
increasing population and pros
pective further increases"
Mr.. Taylor said that while
known resources of fish in the
sea are more than adequate at
present to meet demands. the
time might come when it would
be imperative" to enhance the
supplies.

of available manpower and of

In the absence of such, q pol
icy, Senator Saltonstall said, "the
effect of government spending is
apt to make areas of tight labor
supply even tighter and to in
crease the distress of areas of

Senator Knowland's role in the
controversy extends back to last

Senator Maybank's amendment
to the defense appropriation bill
designed to block the policy by

the amendment. When the bill
returned to the Senate, Senator
Maybank again offered his pro-
poSal.
Senator Knowland gave assur-
ance then that he would take up
the matter with Gen. Eisenhow-
