Congress Does Not Favor Atomic Release

successful atomic chain reaction
in December, 1912, raised the cur
tain on the atomic age.
These developments include ~
Britain's first explosion of an
atomic bomb, (2) progress in the
u. S. on a hydrogen or ''hell''
bomb, (33) new demands for steps
toward atomic power for industry,
and (4) a growing insistence from
free world military leaders that
they share enough knowledge
about U. S. atomic weapons to help
plan a common defense.
Britain, Canada and the U. S.
worked hand-in-glove on a joint
atomic program until the ties were
cut in 1876 by a U. S. law forbid
ding the passing Of any American
atom information to a foreign
power.
The tight security regulations Of
the 1916 Atomic Energy Act were
relaxed slightly by Congress in
1851. The 1851 amendment permits
the U. S. to share with friendly
nations certain atomic energy data
outside the field Of military weap-
ons-such things as reactor deyel-
opment, treatment of source ma
terials and production Of fission-
able matter.
But sharing of information about
atomic weapons is still prohibited.

Stock Island is a fast growing
community. The folks who live out
there should begin to think of in
cooperating before the City limits
of Key West are extended to en-
compass their entire island.
Incorporation of their small
town has its advantages as well
as disadvantages. HardShips would
be encountered in setting up an
efficient form of government. There
would always be the threat of Key
West trying to dominate its near
by neighbor. Unless close coopera-
ton was received from the county
and state, there would be the bur-
den of laying out streets and
roads. However, Rep. Bernie Papy
has already shown his eagerness
to help the island by securing
State Highway funds to improve
it. There is little likelihood of his
going out of office in the near
future and he might be prevailed
upon to help a new township.
If Key West takes over the en-.
tire island it will mean additional
taxes which may or may not be
spent on the improvement of their
original source. Though l will al

must be faced.

WASHINGTON "a - The new
Congress has cast a cool eye to-
ward high-level suggestions from
both sides of the Atlantic that the
United States should lower its Sc
crecy bars and share again some
atomic information with Britain.
Incoming congressman willing to
take a stand in an Associated
Press survey lined up almost a 2-1
against an open interchange of
data with the ally who teamed
jointly with the Z, S. in developing
the first atomic bomb in World
War III.
But there was a lively argu-
ment on the issue, and many law
makers said they have not made
up their minds.
Favorable replies voiced such
views as these; Rep. Cooley ID

Rep. Seely-Brown (R-Connl. The

TAFT AND IKE

Senator Robert Taft is conceded to be the winner
an the manueverng for the job of Majority Leader in the
new Senate Moreover, it looks most of the key
IN the new organzatonal structure of both the House
and Senate will be former antiEisenhower men. For
while the Presdenteect had the appeal to get the votes
Oh John u. Public General Ike always has had to take
second seat to Taft in the popularity ratings in Con-
gress Men like Speakertobe Joe Martini in the House,
are admirers of the Ohio Republican and do not drop
old buddies like cold potatoes though some people
play the game that way.
Thus it appears that General Eisenhower might be
confronted with the necessity of getting along with Taft
else have very difficult job his hands trying to
get any program through the 83rd Congress- Eisenhower
is good at politics and getting along Anyone who can
get along with the rulers and officials of all the Euro
pean countries in which Ike operated good politi-
clan. And many of the Generals friends have always
said that his greatest ability in getting the team to
work together, in any sort of operation.
Just how long Ike and Taft will get along is un-
answerabe at this time The two men, who intense
rivals for the Republican nomination for so long, are ma
turay competitors conenders. Taft is the man who
led the Republican party for years. thought he had the
nomination for President Sewed up and then saw 1t all
snatched away from him at the last minute by pop
uar military hero. Ike is who is boss of any job
he undertakes It will take patience the part of both
to cement working relationship the years, but it
might well be DONE
For Taft now knows that he will never get another
crack AZ the JoD at 1000 pennsylvania Avenue Ike is
almost to be the nominee of the COP in 1856 And
after that Taft will be too DID, Thus he failed in his eff
fort to follow in the footsteps of his father but not
in many other ways. As the Majority Leader he will
command more respect than Democratic Majority
Leaders in recent years. This because he has earned
top reputation at the Senate already has had the
necessary experience and meets every ether quaifica-
ton In experience alone he has than some recent
Majority Leadersthough this isn't necessarily conclusive
Should Taft and those at 1900 Pennsylvania dis
agree, 1t will be up to them to win him over or have
tough fight their hands in the Senate Ike knows he
must get along with the Ohioan and there every
to believe he will turn the charm. If he does and if
Taft is able to forget his bitter disappointment at
Chicago, the two may make formidable team. But if
the two leaders cannot work together then explosion
which may wreck the whole party may take place. The
first few months of the administration will probab-
ly provide the answer to this question.

Key Westers might get angry
about the above paragraphs. So b

thought to the many improvements

we do not have the time, the

When this has been done, there
will be a natural gravitation of

Public Safety
There is a lot Of construction

especially on Duval Street. In most
cases pedestrians are forced 70

cause of blocked off sidewalks. 4

heads or an automobile knock
them into the gutter.
Never in my life have I visited
a town where construction work
was in progress that contractors
were not forced to provide some
sort of safety device for pedes-
trians. Usually 1t takes the form
of guard-rails placed out in the
street as r ection against auto

Industry Tries
To Cut Costs,
Not Service
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-How to cut costs
of doing business-wIthout running
into objections from labor on the
one hand and without cutting serv-l
ices to customers on the other
is fast becoming top problem
of industry.
A redoubled attack on IL is re-
ported today from several sourc-
es.
Cost cutting Is an immediate
problem because operating costs
have been rising so fast that,
humping against high taxes and
price controls, they many times
have reduced profit margins seri-
ously.
II may become an acute prob
lem later, if sales drop off below
company's break-even point.
The American Management AS
sociation is devoting one entire ses-
sion of its Los Angeles meeting
later this month to the problem.
II viii explore the part electronic
machines can play in cutting
costs; how clerical and general
office expense Zone Of the fastest
rising costs in industry can be
cut; and how more goods can be
produced for the same labor cost
but without loss Of jobs.
Another phase Of the attack is
through cost accounting--that is,
finding out just how much il costs
to produce cath product q com
pany makes so that the unprofit-
able ones can be dropped.
