promise unsatisfactory, said a
renewal of lengthy debate on the
matter probably would depend
on Senator JohnSon's decision.
On the other hand. Senator
Anderson, Democrat, OF New
Mexico. conferee and strong
supporter of the original john
son amendment, called the COM
promise a reasonable means Of
getting what most of us wanted
"a yardstick of the costs of
atomic power.
Under the compromise, power
from the Acc experimental
plants could be sold to Federal
agencies, co-operatives or to pri-

Conferees Tackle
Patents Section Of
Atomic Energy Act
By [. Edgar Primo

Senate House conferees re-
newed their attempts today to
reach a compromise on the sole
remaining major issue holding
up the administrators bill to
overhaul the Atomic Energy Act
the section dealing with pat
entS.
The six Republicans and four
Democratic legislators yesterday
reached an informal agreement
q the controversial public pri-
vate power issue, but both Sem
ate and House leaders indicated
that differences over patents
may not be as easily resolved.
The House version of the
measure would grant normal
patents for privately-financed
developments in atomic power.
The Senate wants compulsory
sharing of such patents for 10
years.
Warned of Delay.
Senator Johnson, Democrat,
OF Colorado, cautioned that a
new Senate debate which could
delay an August IA adjournment
might be in prospect if a salts
factory solution to the patent
impasse is not found.
There might be lot of de-
) bate on these patent provisions, !"
he said. Chairman Cole of the
Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy, another conferee, agreed.
He is the leader of the open
patent advocates.
The Senate debated for 1863
hours before passing it's version
OF the bill which would open the
atomic field to private industry
and broaden the exchange of in
formation with friendly nations.
After the conferees complete
action on a compromise measure
it must 60 back to each house
for approval.
Varied Reaction.
There was varied reaction to-
day among Democrats over the
agreement on the power sections
OF the bill. A majority of the con-
ferees yesterday decided on a
proposal which would bar the
Atomic Energy Commission
from going into the commercial
production of electrical power,
but would allow other Federal
power agencies to apply for IL
censes to build nuclear reactors
for that purpose.
Senator Johnson, whose amend
ment on the power issue was
modified, said he has not de-
cided whether to support the
change. Senator Hill, Democrat,
Of Alabama, who finds the COM

that Of such stress on the char

tention is diverted from the con-
geStion.
1t is quite. though not invar-
iably. successful.
That it is, is due to the two
of the most eXpertly made per-

part. one of the most difficult
Williams ever wrote, demands an
exquisitely maintained control
and Miss Jackson manages to
give it precisely that throughout
the plays three narrowing acts.
Less exacting, but fraught with
more hazards than actors usu-
ally encounter, is the young doc
tor played here by George Griz-
gard. This is the idol of Alma's
school days who had the courage
to rebel against the romantic
decisions of his South. But the
refuge he found in alcohol and
the easy virtue of Rosa Gonzales.
the soiled dove of Glorious Hill,
was temporary. He must reject
Alma without ever being insensi-
tive to the agony in which she
lives, a point softly and tidily
made in Grizzard's performance
The rest of Glorious Hills
wretched citizens are tellingly
played in this production. For
one, Lester Rawlings returns to
Arena to give his usual excellent
account of himself as Alma's
tortured pastor-father: Marian
Rcardon as the anatomically
aroused Rosa Gonzales; Frances
Sternhagen as the maliciously
daft mother of the heroine; Joan

Williams more acclaim but none
has had a more dramatic history.
summer and Smoke" was not a
Broadway success, nor yet fail
ure, but after being something
of flop there. it got up off the
floor to become a triumph in
subsequent production.

rected by Alan Schneider, should
lengthen its skein of success.
1t is one of Arenas most ad-
mirably artistic accomplish

of heartbreak. Summer and
Smoke" is, in many ways. one of
Williams most deeply felt plays
and, perhaps because of this,
the one most overwritten.
1t demands the most tactful
meditation in direction and
playing and it is a credit to Di-
rector Schneider and his cast
that they temper it as we'll as
they do. 1t was this quality that
one remembers as the fatal lack
OF the original New York pro-
duction. lack that made Will
liams' characters more exasper-
ating than pitiable.
The fact is that Summer and
Smoke" contains the seed Of
self-parody more than any play
Williams has written. save for
the first. Battle of Angels"
Glorious Hill, Miss. in 1916 is
the setting of the rueful story
