Agency . Clearing House.
The proposed atomic agency,
Mr.. Lodge continued. would be
created by negotiations among
interested governments. He said
its exact relationship with the
u. N. must await creation of the
agency itself. He added that the
agency would consult and CO.
operate with U. N. bodies dealing
with related work as well as with
atomic energy organizations of
u. N. members.
| He explained that the United
States originally enviSioned the
international agency would hold
fashionable materials itself, "but,
after the Soviet rejection of the
United States proposals, all the
negotiating states concluded that
it might be preferable that the
agency act as clearing house
for requests made to the agency
by the various benef1ciaries.
"The donor state would ear
mark fashionable materials for
the agency's operations and
would transfer those fashionable
materials directly to the projects
approved by the agency" he
added.

doubt in his mind" as to whether
the committee has a right to
waive the 30-day waiting period
when Congress is not in session.
Senator Pastore, Democrat of
Rhode Island, who already has
said he thinks Congress should
have a chance to look at the
contract, demurred, however,
and recalling the history of the
waiver clause in the atomic act,
said it was his belief it was de-
signed to let the committee waive
the waiting period while Con-
gress Is away.
Senator Gore said he too
questioned whether the commit
tee is authorized to act, but
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can of Iowa. felt the committee
has this authority.
Democrats evidenced particu-
lar interest in the plant financ-
ing yesterday, when it was
brought out that the utilities
! group, which has formed the
Mississippi Valley Generating
Co., to build the steam plant, is
proposing to retire the 500
million bond issue that will be
involved through the processes
of the depreciation account,
rather than out of income. This,
it was explained by Mr.. Hughes,
will be advantageous tax wise.
Tax Break.
1t also was established through
testimony Of Budget Director
Rowland r. Hughes that the
contract would permit the utili-
ties concern to avoid an annual
payment of $536,250 in Federal
income taxes. Attorney General
BroWnell has ruled that the
exemption is legal, and commit

called for questioning.

Under questioning by Senator
Knowland Senator Gore said a

area is anticipated In by 1857 II
additional supplies are not pro-
vided. But he added that "de-
lay would be preferable to this
type of contract" proposed with
the Dixon Yates syndicate.
Agrees With Holifield.
Senator Gore agreed with Rep
resentative Holifield, Democrat
of California, that the proposed
Dixon-YateS contract did not
conform to the Tennessean'S
amendment to the 1854 Atomic
Energy legislation regarding pay
ment of income taxes by the
private utility.
Mr.. Holifield said the joint
committee needed the guidance
of an expert on utility contracts
before voting on whether to
waive waiting period before the
agreement goes in effect.
"I for one won't vote to waive
the waiting period" Mr.. Holi-
field said.
Senator Gore also hit at the
bond retirement provisions of
the contract, which he said CON
tains an ironclad escalator clause
protecting the company from any
additional tax liability"
The Tennessee Senator told
the committee also that the
people of the Tennessee Valley
"are convinced that the ultimate
of the contract will be to weaken,
if not to destroy, the Tennessee
Valley Authority which is so
vital to the future economic
prosperity of the region which
1t serves"
The Senator also pointed out
that the contract had the ap-
proval of but two of the pres
ent five members of the atomic
