May Miss Record.
Because of the short technical
recess taken early this morning
the Senate probably will not set
a new record for a continuous
session. If this recess had not
occurred the Senate at AIS
o'clock this afternoon would have
passed the existing record of 81
hours and 10 minutes established
in 1915 on a ship purchase bill.
If no agreement to limit de-
bate is reached in the next "a
hours, Senator Knowland has
indicated he will recess by mid
night Saturday until 10 am.
Monday morning.
Under the rules, the petition
he filed at 1899 am. to limit de-
bate will have to be voted on
one hour after the Senate meets
Monday unless it is withdrawn
in the meantime.
When Senator Knowland
stepped outside of the Senate
chamber early this morning to

Action on Farm Bill
May Finish Session;
Johnson Hits Aiken
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

The politically explosive farm
bill, pushed back on the Senate
docket again under disputed cir
cumstances, may be the final
major business for the adjourn
ment-bound Congress.
Senator Aiken, Republican. of
Vermont said today he has no
intention Of trying to get Senate
action on the farm measure
until next midweek, probably
Wednesday" Senator Aiken,
chairman Of the Senate Agricul-
ture Committee. added in an
interview:
IAN I want to make certain
is that If there is no farm legis-
lation at this session that I'm
not going to take the rap for it. :"
Senator Aiken smiled away a
blistering statement issued last
night by Senate Democratic
Leader Lyndon Johnson of
Texas which branded as simply
not true" Senator Aiken's
assertion that Democrats forced
q delay in Senate action on the
farm bill.
Senator johnson said Senator
Aiken had engaged in "distor-
tions and inaccuracies"
If. prospects for a farm bill
are "dimming," as Senator Aiken
said, Senator johnson said this
resulted from "the artificially
imposed deadline Of July 3lst
for congressional adjournment
-. imposed by the Republican
leadership ITSELF"
Senator johnson said sit is no
secret" that Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson would be per-
fectly happy" if flexible price
support program, enacted in
1948-49 but never put into OPP
Grafton, became law through in
action of Congress this session
1t will take effect if no new law
is enacted.

Russell Of Georgia voted for the
johnson amendment. There al
ways has been a close relation
ship between the Southerners
and Senator Johnson, who has
supported them in civil rights
battles on the Senate floor.
Boosted Russell In 1852.
The Colorado senator was
manager of Senator Russell's
campaign for the 1852 Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
At the time he was quoted as
saying Senator Russell would
run strong in Colorado since
the State was settled largely by
Confederates.
Six Republicans broke from
their party's ranks to support
the amendment. They were
largely from farming areas and
included Senators Case and
Mundt of South Dakota, Young
of North Dakota and Dworshak
of Idaho.
The lineup on the key vote

Absent 9. @. P. Senators Help
Democrats in Key Acc Round

A combination Of factors con-
tributed to the administration
setback on a key amendment
during the filibustering debate on
the bill revising the atomic
energy law.
The setback occurred late yes
terday afternoon as the Senate
adopted by a vote of As to Al the
amendment offered by Senator
johnson, Democrat. of Colorado.
The amendment would author
ize the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion to develop its own facilities
for the production Of electric
power for commercial purposes.
One of the factors in the adj
ministration defeat was the per-
sonal esteem in which Senator
Johnson, a member of the Sem
ate House Atomic Energy Com
mittee. is held by conservative
Southern Democrats.
Another reason was what one
Senator described as enlightened
lf-interest" on the part not only
of some Of the Southern conserv-
atives but some conservative Re-
publicans as well from areas
in which rural identification is
a potent political factor.
Absentee Republicans.
But the third-and perhaps
most important-factor was an
apparent breakdown in the Re-
publican whip" organization re-
sponsible for seeing that Sena-
tors of that side of the aisle are
on the floor and voting on key
issues.
The johnson proposal carried
by only four votes-and seven
Republican Senators failed to
be recorded in the voting.
They were Senators Bowring
of Nebraska, Capehart of In
diana, Kuchel of California,
Malone of Nevada, Mccarthy OF
Wisconsin, Welker of Idaho and
Williams of Delaware.
Most, if not all, of them could
be expected to support the adj
ministration side in the vote.
But one was in his Office tele-
phoning when the vote took
place, another was home sleep
ing and the others-well. they
Just weren't there.

Senator Potter, Republican, Of
Michigan today enlisted the
support of Gov. Allen Shivers of
Texas in fulfilling a request from
a young Texas citizen.
The request came IN a letter
which read:
Dear Senator:
will you please send me a
pitcher of the CAPITAL. Here is
5 cents"
What complicated Senator
Potter's problem in carrying out
the request was that the writer
neglected to sign the letter and
the postmark was. so obscured
even the town it was from could
not be read.
So Senator Potter, taking time
out from the prolonged debate
going on in the Senate, wrote
Gov. Shivers.

Senator Eastland confides with
great care, "the decision Of the

information to four spectators:

II Who Defied House
In Red Probe Cited
For Contempt
BY the Assoeioted Press

The House today cited two
women and Is men for contempt
in refusing to answer question,
or produce documents at hear
ings before the House Un-Amer.
lean Activities Committee or
Communist activities.
In a series of votes the House
sent to the Justice Department
the names of the II with q
recommendation for prosecution

gress. Conviction carries maxi
mum penalty of a year in prison
and a fine Of $1,000.
Called "MOst Abusive"
Chairman Velde of the I'm

said previously the contempt ci-
tations were based on the con-
duct of the II at hearings in
Detroit, Lansing and Flint,
Mich; San Diego, Calf; Seattle,
Wash; Portland Greg, and

Mr.. Velde said the II, along
with nine others who were cited
in May, were "the most abusive

the House cited Bolza Baxter of

through with the proposed con-
tract for a private power plant
in Arkansas to supplement iva
power. His amendment would
limit Acc to private contracts
for power to be used by the COM
mission itself.
Young Senators Hold Floor.
Two of the husky young men,
bers of the liberal group-Sena-
tors Magnuson and Jackson Of
Washington - held the Senate
floor from 6 am. until past noon.
Other members of the opposition
team went home to bed last
night and will be fresh to carry
on the debate this evening UNI
less there is an agreement. Most
of the debate, however, has been
on the merits of the bill.
While the Republicans have
tried to avoid consuming time,
they interrupt the Democratic
orators occasionally to answer
some of the arguments.
The fight may reach show
down Monday morning on the
Knowland proposal to invoke the
seldom used cloture rule, which
would limit each Senator to one
hour thereafter. Most observers.
however, give Senator Knowland
a little or no chance of muster
ing the "a votes cloture requires.
If the Republican leaders go
through with that motion and
fail, the alternatives would be to
delay other important legislation
indefinitely or give in to the adj
vocates of a more liberal atomic
energy plan.
The 25-minute recess early to-
day did not lessen the physical
strain Of the marathon session.
Senator Knowland explained
that he called for the short
recess as an added pre-
caution to make sure that his
petition to invoke the seldom
used cloture rule can be voted
on Monday If no agreement is
reached in the meantime. The
rules require the petition to lie
over for two days.
The petition was filed shortly
after midnight. 1t was signed by
SO Senators. all Republicans.
The opposition has been
spurred on to fight for further
amendments by its victory at
5 pm. yesterday, when the
Senate voted, As to Al, to au-
thorize the Acc to go into the
business of developing electric
power in commercial quantities,
just as iva develops and sells
hydroelectric power.
The liberal Democrats, who
claim this and similar amend
ments are needed to protect the
public interest and to prevent q
private monopoly from develop
ing in the atomic energy field,
made 1t clear today they will
continue the fight.
The amendment. authorized by
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado Is not mandatory,
but its supporters say that if it
stays in the bill the administra-
ton would not be able to get
away from the demand that
would be made for such Govern
ment power by co-operatives and
public bodies which could not
compete with large private in
dustrial groups in developing
their own reactors.
Unless the House also adopts
this amendment, however, the
Republicans would still have
chance to modify. or eliminate
