Clio Indorses Federal
Control Of A-Power;;
AFL FaVors Industry

The CIO and the AFL today
clashed over the role that Gov
ernment and private industry
should play in the atomic energy
field during a meeting of the
Natural Resources Conference
now in it's second day at the
Shoreham Hotel.
Speaking to a group which
had just reached general agree
ment that atomic power would
not be a major source of indus
trial energy within the next 20
years. Anthony w. Smith, assist
ant general counsel of the CIO,
demanded permanent public
ownership of patents, materials
and processes in atomic energy
development.
Hits Undue" Secrecy.
He blasted Atomic Energy
Commission plans to build a
power reactor by farming out
the job to private monopolistic
corporations" He said there
was undue secrecy in the field
and that it appeared "our op-
ponents in the cold war have
most of the major secrets any,
way"
Public ownership is not
enough" Mr.. Smith declared.
There must be public operation
of atomic facilities"
haywood Boggs, of the AFL
Boilermakers' Union, had diff
ferent outlook. Reminding the
meeting that his group was
more directly affected by the
nuclear reactor development
than any other, he said: public
monopoly can be just as bad as
private monopoly"
Mr.. Boggs added that the
Boilermakers' Union favored the
plan to license Government pat
entS to private firms. II see no
reason to put the entire atomic
energy field under Government
control" he said.
Nations Resources Studied.
The natural resources confer
ence, which is being attended
by some 1000 delegates from all
parts of the Nation, is seeking
to assess the status of America IS
resources and to find ways to use
and conserve them. It closes
tomorrow.
In a meeting on urban land
Max Wehrly of the Urban Land
Institute of Washington de-
clared that most of what has
been referred to as urban decen-
tralization is in fact additions to
metropolitan areas and repre-
sents growth.
Harold Mayer of the Univer-
sity of Chicago said the maxi
mum amount of decentralization
that could be expected into any
one year is 4 to per cent. This
means that cities are here to
stay and the real problem is one
Of adjustment, he concluded.

THE question of labor manage.

sue" Murray said, 81 bitter is.
sue within the Republican party.
The record to date would indi-
cate that those in the Republican
party who believe our laws should
contain 'union-busting' provisions
are in control !"
His statement, in a letter to a
newspaper which had editorialized
on the nonpartisan approach, was
made available to 4 reporter BY
Murray's office. The letter has moi
yet been published.
Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ)
and Sen. Ives (R.NY), chairman
and second-ranking COP member
Of the Labor Committee, discussed
with President Eisenhower recent
ly a proposal to appoint a special
subcommittee with equal Repub.
lican and Democratic representa-.
ton. The subcommittee, with Ives
as chairman, would work only on
Taft-Hartley Act changes. No rec.
ommendation for changing the
law, it was reported, would come
from the subcommittee unless the
proposal had the support of all its
members.
Smith said in IN interview last
week he understood Democratic
opposition to the plan would prob.
ably kill it. Ives has said there
should be no partisan politics in
enacting labor legislation.
Murray listed two objections to
the nonpartisan approach:

PANMUNJOM R-U. S. special
envoy Arthur Dean tomorrow viii
offer the Communists a new for.
mula for setting Up q Korean peace
conference. Today he said ssthere
Is a possibility we are going 10
work something out.
Deans optimistic prediction fol.
lowed the third session of prelim.
mary talks TO plan q Korean politi.
cal conference. There was no no.
ticeable progress a. the 2 hour
and 40 minute meeting.
The Communist delegate insisted
In q 2.5O0-word statement that Rus.
STA be seated at the peace con.
ference as a neutral.
Dean said he replied that Russia
logically should attend the confer.
ence--and sit with Red China and
North Korea since Communist
armies in Korea "were equipped
with planes, tanks, guns and mu-
nitions sent from the Soviet I'm
ion."
''The Soviet Union has openly
supported your side by word and
deed" Dean declared. "The us.
S.R. has thus played a direct role
In the Korean hostiIities."
The U. S. envoy, who represents
the u. ~. also reiterated that he
had no authority under the Unit.

the preliminary talks to negotiate

Box branded the U N. resolution
as completely illegal"
Dean Is authorized only to set
time and place.
Il still think these are only pre-
liminary skirmishes and there is
still a possibility We. are going

entitled to make political capital
oul Of promising to revise the
Taft-Hartley Act during a political
campaign and. after the election,
attempt to escape responsibility
for carrying out those promises by
piously declaring that the entire
issue is a nonpartisan one"
Murray said his second point
was that unanimity rule would
"decry our whole democratic pro-
cess" and he continued:
ITO permit one or two ebstruc-
tionists to block action or use a
unanimity agreement to cover up
maction and relieve a political
party of its responsibilities is un-
thinkable :"

Special Envoy Will Offer New Formula For
Setting Up OF Korean Peace Conference

st seems to me can detect
an attitude Of interest on their
part and that they really want to
come to some conclusion on this
matter"
OF his new offer to the Reds.
he said:
Il plan to propose q formula to
them tomorrow to see if We can't
get to work on a time and place
first"
Even though he made it clear
he is unable to negotiate on who
shall attend a KOREAN peace con-
ference, Wednesdays session was
devoted to talking of little else.
Dean said of repeated Commu-
mist assertions that Russia is a
neutral:
1--WE cannot accept this sugges-
ton seriously or indeed believe
that you put it forward seriously.
| II is really very fuGny."
In his opening statement, Dean
accused the Reds Of moving from
a discussion of an agenda to ar
guing items on the agenda-spe-
officially the Red demand that neu-
trail nations participate in the
peace conference.
This action is arbitrary on two
counts" he said. at involves a uni
lateral determination of the agenda
by your side as the official agenda
of this meeting. II also involves
a unilateral choice of one item in
that agenda as the primary inter-
est and subject of first impor-
lance" .
The North Korean representative
objected to Deans statement Tues
day which he said "conspicuously
omitted the question of the with
drawal of all foreign forces from
Korea as was provided in the
armistice agreement.
Outside the meeting, your side
openly declared that the OBJ.
jective which the political confer
ence seeks after should only be
the withdrawal of all Chinese
forces whereas all the American
forces win remain in Korea. Our
side will never tolerate such an
attitude of your side.

New Proposal On
.Biscayne-Largo
Given

TALLAHASSEE IA new plan
for the controversial upper keys
causeway was presented to the
Cabinet Tuesday as opposition stiff
fened among board members to
proposals involving islands In Bis
cayne Bay.
However, the author Of the new
proposal, Joel Hurt, Miami engi-
|neer, was told he should take his
plan first to the Dade County Com
mission.
His idea would involve q water
front route south from Miami t.
the Princeton aranjs area and q
causeway east to Sands Key,
thence south to Key Largo. No
islands would be dredged up and
no residential property developed.
Two opposition plans, one involv.
ing dredging up 1000 acres Of
islands and another calling for
creation of 5000 acres Of island
property, would run a causeway
from Key Biscayne to Key Largo.
Hurt said he would finance his
plan through bonds to be paid off
with tolls Of around 81 per auto
mobile. He offered to pay 1915, 900
in rent for the right of way for the
first Is years his road was ia
operation and said the property
would revert to the state when his
lease expired.
