Conferee Deadlock
On Atomic Patents
Tighter Than Ever
By [. Edoor Prino

The deadlock over whether the
Government should compel shar-
ing Of patents in the civilian
atomic power field today ap-
peared to be tighter than ever
and threatened to delay con-
gressipnal adjournment plans a
second time.
Senate and House conferees
on the omnibus atomic energy
bill reported no progress after
their second all-day meeting on
the matter. The next session
tentatively has been set for Mon
day. The new target date for
adjournment is next Saturday.
The House version Of the bill
would grant normal, exclusive
patent to private individuals or
firms, while the Senate has voted
for compulsory sharing of patents
for 10 years. Neither side has
been willing to give any signif1-
cant ground in an effort to end
the impasse.
I It is understood that Chair
man Cole of the Joint Commit
tee on Atomic Energy will try for
a compromise on a plan which
would establish the principlei Of
exclusive patents, but would di-
rect the Atomic Energy Commits
sion to grant preference to those
persons or companies agreeing to
share their patents for five years.
Representative Holifield, Dem
ocrat, of California said that if
the deadlock continues the con-
ferees could vote to send back to
the two chambers a split report
or simply ask for further in
Structions.
Several Democratic Senators,
who have held that patent shar-
ing is the only way to prevent q
private atomic power monopoly,
have indicated they would speak
at length on the Senate floor if
the House version is adopted in
conference.

Mrs. Moss Counsel
Calls Case 'Rehash, :
To Ask Quick Action

Counsel for Mrs. Annie Lee
Moss today branded the Army's
latest Communist Party charges
against her q "rehash" and de-
clared he would ask for an early
loyalty board hearing.
The charges are exactly the
same thing as those on which
she was suspended BEFORE" At
torney George E. c. Hayes said.
except that they put emphasis
on an alleged Communist fneln-
bership book for 1943.
Mrs. Moss denies that she
ever had possession of the Com
munist Party membership book
No. 37269 and she denies all Of
the other charges on which she
is again suspended from her job"
Mrs. Moss, a middle e-aged coll
ored woman of 1914 Evarts street
NE. first was suspended from
her position with the Army Sig
nal Corps when Senator Nc
Carthy called her before his Sem
ate Investigations subcommittee
at the height Of his row with
Army Secretary Stevens.
Restored to Job.
At that time Mrs. Moss denied
any connection with the Red
party, and a witness who had
previously said she knew an
annie Lee Moss" as a Commu-
mist Party member later conceded
it could have been a mistake in
identity.
The Army suspended Mrs. Moss
at that time for 80 days, but
restored her to a 1885 clerks
job pending further investiga-
ton. She had been employed in
the Signal Corps code room.
The latest charges automat-
ically result in her suspension
without pay until they are re-
solved. If cleared. she will re-
ceive back pay.
Denies Worker Subscription.
Mrs. Moss continues to deny
any connection with the Com
munist Party at any time, Mr..
Hayes stated. She also has said
under oath before the Mccarthy
subcommittee that she never
subscribed to the Communist
Daily Worker.
Former Subcommittee Counsel
Roy M: Cohn stated during the
previous hearing that another
witness would corroborate
charges against Mrs. Moss. This
was stricken from the record on
grounds the witness was in con.
tact with the FBI and would
have to be heard in closed ses-
sion.
The latest charges which Mrs.
Moss received were signed by
John g. Connell, jr., chairman
of the Security Screening Board.
He advised Mrs. Moss her case

VA Acts 10 Speed
GI Home Loans

The Veterans Administration
announced today it has taken
steps to speed up the processing
Of CT home loans.
Notice has been sent urging
supervised lenders to process the
loans without asking VA for ap-
proval in advance.
This move will affect about so
per cent Of those lending money
under the Gil home loan law.
since nearly half of all loans
originate with supervised lend
ers-those connected with banks,
savings and loan associations
and insurance companies.
Non-supervised leanders, most
" mortgage brokers. must still
get prior approval from VA be-
fore making CT loans.
At the same time. VA an
nounced a sharp upswing in ap-
plications by veterans taking adj
vantage Of the guaranteed home
loans. During June, VA received
46.239 applications as compared
to 26.454 in 1853.

Representative Bulge, Repub-
lcan. of Idaho produced an
array Of Endorsements by State
fish and game departments,
sportsmen's groups, and trout
industry representatives. The So
called national game of baseball,
he reported, is far below trout
fishing in popularity.
The talk became so biting that
Representative Celler. Democrat,
Of New York threw in a line
that some House members were
trying to be reelected not on the
coattails Of party personages-
but on a fish tail"
A New York Republican, Rep
reSentative Fino, asserted that
the Fulton Fish Market in his
city smelled like perfume in
comparison with the trout label
bill.
It remained for Representative
Burdick. Republican, of North
Dakota to stump the parlia-
mentarians when he asked the
meaning of a couple OF words
in the bill-"Salvelinus namay-
cush." That's an ichthyic label

pressed with the procedure Of
holding closed hearings with
transcript of the proceedings
being made available at once to
the press.
He acknowledged. however,
that those hearings involved Sc
curity matters unlikely to appear
in the Mccarthy situation.
Senator Stennis said he
thought television might not be
permitted, but he stressed that
he was not speaking for the
other committee members. SINH
lar views came from some Of the
other Senators.
Must Sift Charges First.
The Senator said one Of the
first tasks will be the sitting of
the specific charges made
against Senator Mccarthy. He
added that he. personally. had a
very definite opinion about not
hearing some Of them. He did
not indicate which they were.
Senator johnson said he was
against proceedings that were
"star chamber--or road show"
1--WE have to do this thoroughly,
completely and splendidly," the
Coloradan added. "It- will be no
quickie."
Senator Ervin's former judicial
experience was reflected in his
views. He said he favored public
hearings but was opposed to
television.
He expressed the opinion the
committee should make a find
ing that specific charges against
Senator Mccarthy are true or
false. He added that he re-
garded the charge that Senator
Mccarthy invited Government
employees to surrender classified
material to him as the most
serious Of the allegations.
Senator Watkins assured re-
porters the press would be given
full opportunity to cover the
proceedings" He, too, empha-
sized what he called the "judi-
cial nature" Of the inquiry. He
said Senator Mccarthy would
have every opportunity to de-
fend himself against the charges.
Senator Case, former publisher
and operator of a ranch in the
Black Hills Of the Dakotas, de-
clined to express any views on
the inquiry pending the commit
tee meeting.

Eisenhower Orders
Speed-up in Handling
Security Risk Cases

SVOOsu NsSN OUSO0
President Eisenhower has
acted to speed up the handling
of security risk cases in the Gov
ernment and assure Q double
check on them by the National
Security Council.
An executive order he issued
late yesterday has the effect of
setting a 90-day time limit for
judging a security risk suspect
after completion of a full field
investigation.
It provides for reports to the
National Security Council on ac-
tions taken on the investigative
reports, with particular attention
to any lack of timely action.
The Presidents action followed
withdrawal of proposed legisla-
ton by Senator Mundt. Repub-
lican, of South Dakota, to set up
a Federal Bureau of Internal
Security in the Justice Depart
ment to evaluate FBI reports on
Government employees and COR
rect action on them.
Reason for Bill.
Senator Mundt said earlier
this week he had introduced
bill because of contentious made
during the recent Army-Mc-
Carthy hearings that some de-
partment heads had ignored
what Senator Mccarthy called
FBI warnings" about security
risks
Senator Mundt Withdrew his
proposal, he said, after being told
the White House action was i'm
pending.
In making the Presidents
order public lateyesterday. White
House Press Secretary James c.
Hagerty said it was designed to
make sure that there is no un-
due delay" in any case requiring
full field investigation of Sc
cufity risk suspect.
He said he knew nothing
about the cases of alleged ignor-
ing of FBI warnings mentioned
by Senator Mundt.
Under the April 27, 1853, exec
utive order setting up security
requirements for Government
employment, the Civil Service
Commission is required to make
a continuing check on the speed
with which security risk cases are
handled. It is required to report
to the National Security Council
at least semiannually.
The latest presidential order
makes two amendments in this
provision.
Amendments Explained. e
One of these directs the Civil
Service Commission to inform
the National Security Council
Immediately of any deficiency
which is deemed to be of major
Importance" - without waiting
for the semiannual report.
The other amendment provides
that all Government agency
heads must as soon as possible
and in no event later than 80
days after receipt of the final
investigative report on civilian
officer or employe subject to a
full-1eld investigation under the
provisions of this order, advise
the commission as to the action
taken with respect to such off,
Ger or employe."
It further provides that the
Civil Service Commission in
clude such information in its
reports to the National Security
Council.
"Such reports" the President
directed, shall set forth any de-
f1ciencies on the part of heads of
departments and agencies in
taking timely action under this
order, and shall mention spe-
cif1cally any instances of nom
compliance with this subsec-
ton"
