committee thereupon rewrote tn
Mcmahon act of 1916.
The bill set off a record 181-hOu
Senate debate. In its original form
the atomic energy bill permitted ;
patent monopoly, ignored the pref
erence clause" in distributing cleo
tricity from government atomic
plants, and gave giant chemical anc
electric combines the right to produce
such power almost exclusively.
During the marathon debate,
the Senate adopted a dozen amend
ments to safeguard the public in
terest. A Senate-House conference
dropped most of them. But the
Senate sent the bill back to con-
ference, and many of these
changes were put in the final bill.
The bill does not keep Atomic En-
ergy Commission from contracting
indirectly for power, as Eisenhower
ordered it to do. Nor does the bill
authorize Acc to produce electric
power, except on an experimental
basis. Other federal agencies aren't
from doing so, however.
So no patent based on government
research money can become the prop
erty of one firm, the bill provides
'or cross-licensing for five years. 1t
also gives power co-ops and public
bodies priority for building atomic
plants in high-cost power areas.
ELECTRIC POWER-Early in

moved to choke off the public power
program that serves as a rate yard
tick" for the industry. Congress
licked up its cue. 1t cut funds for
over exchanges between rural cleo
ric co-ops and federal power mar
citing agencies, despite longterm
ontracts upheld by court decisions.
The half-century-old prefer
ence clause" that gives co-ops and
public utilities first call on govern
ment power was stripped from a
contract with New York State Pow
err Authority. The contract lets the
Authority cooperate with Canada
in producing electric power from
the ST. Lawrence seaway. Congress
did refrain from giving Niagara
Falls power site to five private
firms.

RELIGION SEEN BY NISEI

! unhealthy indication
TARO: Verbose bunk! To you, Hi
70, there's no difference between
religion and faith To me, there's a
hell of a lot of difference. Religion
is impersonal faith is personal Re-
ligion is symbolized by the Church
faith is symbolized by the self Re-
ligion evolved from myths. 1t has its
roots in mans primeval fear of
death
JIRO: But not all men fear death
TARO: Precisely When certain
men realized that death after all, is
inevitable, religion had to find a
new meaning for its existence This
it did by becoming the force of mo-
raj restraint. The crusade was first
launched by a castrated male or a
frigid female, I'm sure
JIRO: Now. who's verbose?
HIRO: Your knowledge of the
history OF Religion is appalling.
TARO: Oh know my history
Whose version do you want? Jesus
Christ was born in 0 B c. and died
in A d I don't doubt that he
was the greatest hypnotist that e.
yer lived. 1t is recorded that he
hypnotized a whole crowd, making
it perceive him walk on water cured
psychological disorders, and per-
formed other such miracles. Bud
dha lived a lecherous, treacherous
life. He deserted his wife and chill
dren for his own selfish happiness.
In his last moment. he atoned for
his wickedness and propounded a
learned apologize which has been a
dopted as the dogma by countless
millions
HIRO: You certainly don't think
much about orthodox religion, do
you?
TARO: Why should I? Orthodox
religion is a creed dreamt up by the
oppressed Jews. Having had no
country to call their own they con-
quered nations by striking the guilt

JIRO: I'd say that smacks of an
ti-semitism
TARO: He'll, no The Jews are
very proud of their record.

read the bible?

Alfred Korzybski the greatest bible
ever written.

POntiff Reminds
Ceramists OF True
Nature OF Creation

CASTELGAND0LF0, Italy-(Ra-
dio, NC) - Scriptural imagery de-
picts man as clay in the potter's
hand, but no human being ever
escapes from the Divine P0tter'S
power.
This was the apt message given
by His Holiness Pope Plus XII at
an audience in his summer palace
here to group Of delegates who
were in Rome for the Fourth In
ternational Ceramics Congress.
The piece of clay in the potter'S
hands, the Holy Father said, is "a
vivid image of the fragility of hui
man nature and its absolute de-
pendence on its Creator"
There is, however, a difference,
he stated. Whereas an inert vase
is abandoned or given to another
by him who made it, man does not
escape for an instant from the
creative power OF God.
''Neyer does God leave man
alone amid the dangers OF exist
enee. Far from treating him as an
indifferent master (of ceramies)
would do, He deigns TO surround
man with an untiring Providence
and to show him the evidence of
completely paternal affection"

NEW YORK = (NC) - A
North Carolina educator and a
Delaware jurist have been
named as the 1854 recipients
of the James J. Hoey Awards
for promoting the cause of in

announced here.
The Catholic Int rracial

nual awards, announced that

Judge Collins J. Seitz of Whining
ton, Del, who has the title of

ware.
The Hoey Awards were estab-
lished in 1912 by the family of the
late James J. Hoey, one of the or
ganizers and the first president of
the Catholic Interraeial Council.
Two lay Catholics, one white the
other Negro, are selected each year
to be honored with the award for
outstanding contributions during
the previous - months to the in
terracial justice cause.
Judge Seitz presided at the
Delaware case on the school seq
resation question which was one
of several cases decided by the
US. Supreme Court in its his
forie anfi-sesresstion in public
schools ruling handed down Last

In deciding the case in the State

finding was later quoted by the U.
