agency he will head-in an
analysis requested by the SEN
ate-HouSe committee.
The contract, incidentally
vests in the General Accounting
Office the authority to say if the
Atomic Commission has the
power to negotiate it.
The commission at present has
but four members, and only
Chairman Strauss and Mr.
Campbell are on record for the
contract. Commissioner Thomas
E. Murray has vigorously assailed
it. and the views of Commission
er Willard F. Libby, a newcomer,
have not been disclosed publicly.
Meanwhile, two members OF
the iva Board of Directors said
today they do not believe the
30-day waiting period on the
contract should be waived.
Drs. Harry Curtis and Ray
mond Patty thus disagreed with
testimony before the committee
yesterday by Brig. Gen. Herbert

asked if the Sheppards had ex-
hibited an attitude of love.
That's harder to~answer," the
witness replied. She thought
over the remark for a few Sec
onds and then said:
Mrs. Sheppard seemed very
much in love- but I was never
quite sure. of DR.. Sheppard"
What did he do to indicate
he was not in love?" Mr.. Cor

Nothing" the witness replied.
Never Saw Them Quarrel.
Mrs. Ahern admitted she had
never noticed anything to indi-

She said she was recalled to
the inquest four days after her
first appearance, and that it was
at that time that she related
the details Of the conversation.
Mrs. Ahern said she volun-
teered to give more information
after some people called me
on the telephone and said was
'evasive'.'
She first regarded the CONVEX
sation with Mrs. Sheppard as
confidential, and I had not told
the police" she said.
Mr.. Corrigan asked how peo-
pie (who telephoned Mrs. Ahern)
knew of this conversation, if it
was confidential.
mot about that conversation,
about things in general" the
witness replied. She said no one
could know about her talk with
Marilyn.
Mrs. Ahern said people had
accused her of not telling every
thing she knew.
Mr.. Corrigan. in9 referring to
the conversation with Mrs. Shop

Senator Sparkman, who serves

be glad to have the Democrats
continue the six-month probe
next year. But he said he would
insist on Q non-partisan inquiry

termed the investigation which
Senator Capehart has been run

The committee has been in

Senator Capehart scheduled a

Mr.. Radin raised this point in
scoffing at an administration
contention that the private ven
ture will make it unnecessary
for the Government to invest
500 million in a iva steam
plant at Fulton, Tenn, which
the administration has opposed.
Senator Anderson, Democrat,
of New Mexico. one of the critics
of the Dixon-Yates proposal,
asked the witness if he thought
the contract could be modified
to meet any of his objections.
Salvage Possibility.
After ALL" Senator Anderson
said, these negotiations have
been going on for months and
1T is desirable to salvage any,
thing out Of them that can be
salvaged."
The witness would only agree,
however, that a fresh start was
needed" Senator Anderson sug-
gested that perhaps if a fresh
start was made now that some
one might. come along later with
another fresh start with the re-
suit that the plant would never
be built.
Some day we're going to need
more power down there" he
said.
Mr.. Radin would not agree
to any arrangement that would

area and Chairman Cole, Re-

Many students reported for

The one-story brick school

there was a general leak"
Students Scattered.
Students were flung against
the ceiling and blown through
windows by the bomb-like blast
which took place shortly after
they settled in their seats for
afternoon classes.

any one else?

Could Bring Law Suit.
Mr.. Radin agreed with Sen
ator Pastore, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, that if the Gov
eminent negotiated the contract
with Dixon Yates and then
Congress withheld funds to carry
it out "big colossal law suit"
as the Senator phrased it, was
a possibility.
The executed agreement was
to have been presented yester-
day to the committee.
A hitch developed at the last
minute, however, and all Com
mission Chairman Lewis L.
Strauss could report was the
expectation the contract would
be ready Thursday morning.
The utilities group, organized
as the Mississippi Valley Gener-
ating Co.-was understood to
have interposed the objections
which halted action, but all that
their spokesman, Eugene A.
Yates, chairman of the board of
the Southern Company, would
say was: 1--WE expect 1t tthe con-

eminent got us into this thing,
and we expect them to carry it

Senator Gore. Democrat, Of
Tennessee, outstanding foe of the
pact. who joined the Joint COM
mittee yesterday as a replace
ment for Senator Edwin John
son, Democrat, of Colorado, said
there is increasing doubt that
the contract ever will be signed. >
A source who declined to be
identified said the differences
between the Atomic Commission
and the company were liable
to widen instead of narrow, al
though when the tie-up first was
announced, Mr.. Cole indicated
the disagreement was not serious.
In addition to the trouble over
the contract, the commission
and utilities group have failed
as yet to set up a memorandum
of agreement" spelling out GER
tain points which might later
DC at issue.
Whether the Acc itself can
muster a majority in favor Of
the contract still is in doubt.
This situation became more
complicated yesterday. when
President Eisenhower designated
Atomic Commissioner Joseph
Campbell, one of the two known
supporters of the pact, to be
Controller General.
