Atomic Commission
May Move Out Of
District, Cole Says
Location Near City
Seriously Considered,
House Member Declares

Representative Cole. Repub-
lican, of New York said today
that it is his understanding that
the Atomic Energy Commission
is seriously considering a plan
to move it's headquarters to a
nearby location northwest of
Washington.
Mr.. Cole, who is chairman of
the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Atomic Energy, said
that members of his staff had
been advised by Acc officials of
the impending move from Wash
ington and that the committee
was likely to receive an official
report on it shortly.
The chairman said he could
not comment on the exact loca-
ton under consideration, but in
reference to reports that it
would be 35 miles out of the
Capital he said:
Under the new atomic energy
bill, the commission headquar-
ters must be placed in or near
Washington. Anything 80 miles
or more out is not in my opinion
in or near Washington"
The Acc has been thinking
of moving for several years be-
cause of the shortage of space
and the fact that the head
quarters offices are scattered.
This situation has accentuated
the vital security problem.
Apparently the plan is to build
a new building in nearby Mary
land where the entire setup
could be housed.

eff the program is to con-
tinue to function smoothly, and
if the maximum result is to be
accomplished, there must be a
steady flow of assurances" the
White House said. "It is primar-
lily to stimulate the procure
ment of assurances that the
President has suggested the es-
tablishment of local committees
by the Governors.
The announcement noted that
the President earlier this week

hind the Iron Curtain to be

Four on Committee
Soy Bill Would Aid
Power Monopolies
By |. Edgar Primo,

Senate Democrats who charge
that the atomic energy bill as
now drawn would open the door
to commercial nuclear power
monopolies today were working
to round up party support for a
move to restore a provision
calling for compulsory sharing of
patents by private industry.
The Senate House conference
yesterday adopted a report on
the bill to overhaul the Atomic
Energy Act of 1916. In doing so
they rejected the Senate stand
on patents for a compromise
proposal rejecting the House
desire for normal, exclusive
rights to ideas and inventions.
The controversial bill was sent
back to both chambers and the
House will take it up first-on
Monday. The Senate may not
consider it until Wednesday or
Thursday.
Democrats Opposed.
All four Democratic Senator'S
on the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy are opposed to
the patent compromise. They
are Senators johnson of Colo
RADIO and Anderson of New Mex
leo, conferees who declined to
sign the report, and Russell of
Georgia and Pastore of Rhode
Island.
Democratic opposition lead
ers are using this unanimity of
opinion as an argument to con-
vince other Democrats they
should vote against the joint
conference report and send the
measure back for further con-
situations with a demand that
the compulsory patent section
be restored.
One opposition spokesman,
who declined to be identified,
acknowledged that the big task
would be to convince the mi
nority leadership that a party
fight should be made.
In any event, another lively
! fight-but no f1libuster-is prom
iSed on the Senate floor when
the measure comes up.
Sharers Get Preference.
Under the compromise agree
ment, signed by six Republicans
and the lone Democrat present
Representative Durham of North
Carolina, normal 17-year exclu-
sive patents would be permitted
on non-military developments
provided the person seeking the
patent did not conceive or de-
velop his invention while work
ing for the Government or under
a Government contract.
And in an effort to promote
a voluntary sharing of patents
the plan calls for the Atomic
Energy Commission to give pref
erence to patent holders willing
to share their patents, for a fee
IN the granting of licenses tc
manufacture the atomic equip
ment and material involved.
Senator Gore, Democrat, ot
Tennessee, one of the leaders ir
the 169-hour atomic energy bill
debate two weeks ago, called the
patent compromise Icing on the

But while he assured newsmer
he would have plenty to say or
the Senate floor. he eased fears
of a filibuster. II don't think
we are going to try to talk thil
