Dixon-Yotes and November 2

The Joint Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy has ample justification for
it's decision to wait until after November
before holding its projected hearings on the
so-called Dixon-YateS contract for con-
struction of private power plant at West
Memphis, Arkansas. This is SO because the
committee-with we'll over half it's members
busily campaigning for re-election-prob-
ably would have been unable to get the
necessary quorum to return here between
now and then.
But that is not the only reason why the
poStponement move makes sense. For there
is also the consideration that the proposed
contract, whose form" has been approved
by the Atomic Energy Commission, has be-
come a partisan political football. Accord
ingly, had it been subjected to hearings at
this stage, it almost certainly would have
been dealt with not judiciously but in an
electioneering manner, with it's critics (con-
sisting chiefly of the Democratic liberal
wing) sorely tempted to generate more heat
than light with extravagant charges of
sort that they would be less inclined to
make after November 2.
The Dixon-Yates contract, of course,
has been a source of controversy ever since
gotiate it. However, although certain of its
administrative and cost features are open
to legitimate debate, and although some of
it's opponents sincerely regard it as a threat
to the Tennessee Valley Authority, it has
never merited the brickbats thrown at it
by the politicking extremists-the ones who
have grossly misrepresented it as "scan-
dal" and a "raW deal' worked out in
foc1 iI0Cf
the best interests of the American people.
Such talk is nonsense. After all, the whole
arrangement has gone through an extra
ordinary congressional debate, and it must
still pass the joint committees searching
inspection before it can become operative.
Clearly, in these circumstances, its more
intemperate, critics do violence to the facts
when they attack it as if it were dark,
conspiratorial deed committed behind the
Nations back.
Actually, our newly amended atomic
law specifically authorizes contracts OF this
type The one worked out with the Dixon
Yates group Middle South Utilities and the
Southern Company calls for private plant
that would feed 100000 kiloWatts into the
IVA system in the Memphis area to make
up for comparable amount of IVA power
being delivered to the Aces Paducah in
stallations. The prime purpose of the prof.
ect, as explained by the President, is to
avoid a Federal outlay of $100 million and
also to encourage free enterprise without
undermining TWAS present status.
Whether or not administratively and
economically sound, all this certainly looks
to be quite open and altogether non-sinister.
Perhaps the critics-including Messrs.
LANCER and KefaVver of the Senate Monop-
oily Subcommittee-Will be able to prove
otherwise at next months hearings, but
there is good reason for doubt on that score.
In any event, the probability seems strong
that the Dixon-Yates tumult will undergo
a marked abatement when the electioneer-
ing is over.

the tactics of their hero in impugning
the motives of their adverSaries rather
than trying to answer the substance of
the charges. Not one even pretended to
answer either OF the two main points.
When a Senate Committee is directed
to investigate charges bearing on the
honor and integrity of Senator. it is
clearly his responsibility to cooperate
with that committee in furnishing facts
desired And: When any one. and more
particularly an officer of the United
States, is appearing before a congress
sional committee and clearly desires to
cooperate within the limits of his au-
thority, he is not to be subject to abuse
for following the instructions of his own
SuperiorS.

Those people who wrote letters to
The Star registering their protests
against the Watkins Report, all seem
to be crying aloud for "a standard to
which the wise and honest can repair"
Alas Senator Mccarthy has been
questionable standard bearer. 1t would
seem that a large segment of those
who see him as their knight on
white charger are not so much against
Communism as they are for nationalism.
Of course, in this day of internation-
aliSm-glObalOney- nationalist IN
this country is supposed to be as eX-
tinct species as our native buffalo.
AS it happens, however, If Americans
can't be for some things much closer
to our own shores than are the halls
of Montezuma, the shores of Tripoli.
or the battlements of the Kremlin, then
a lot of Americans will jolly we'll be
anti something, even if it turns out to
be, conversely, their own country. And
So perhaps, we have had that phenom-
enon known as McCarthyism, in which
nationalism and nihilism are SO COM
mingled as to be scarcely distinguish
able. Anyhow, it's thought, for when
a leader is disposed of, there still re-
mains to be solved the desires and needs
of his followers. Nothing can explain
Senator Mccarthy. but what is the eX-
planation for his following?

'SIur' on Montgomery Schools

Franklin T. Miles letter of September
80 is an unjustified Slur on more than
1,500 hard-Working, underpald Mont
gomery County teachers and school
officials. 1t is full of horrible sounding
words" strange breed of hybrid Amer
icans," "misspent tax dollars Grim
inally waSteful," "misspent time of
American students" "un-American in
doctrination and propaganda" and so
on No facts are presented to back up
any of this.
1t all carries an aroma strongly rem
iniScent of the campaigns against the
public schools in Pasadena and HouS-
ton, where a set of phony issues set
good school systems back many years.
With enrolment increasing at the
rate of 5000 year, the Montgomery
County schools have plenty of prob
lens, but they are not those which
Mr. Miles inventS. And the real prob
lens cannot be solved by debating the
imaginary ones. Could it be that the
imaginary problems were conjured up
in an effort to hide-or at least to
divert attention from-the real ones?
The first test of whether or not the
effort will be successful will come on
November when the people will, for
the first time, elect seven members to
the Board of Education.
