WASHINGTON N-Senators con-
tinued into the dawn hours today
4 heated debate on administration
atomic energy proposals after vot-
ing to uphold President Eisenhow-
ef'S order for q new private power
plant in the Tennessee Valley.
Rumpled and weary from =
marathon session which started at
10 am. yesterday, the senator's
stuck to their desks on the floor
or snatched short maps on cots in
side rooms. A few who had gone
home were routed out during the
night when objection was made
that not enough were on hand to
transact business.
This longest Senate session OF
the year, coming on top OF other
overtime meetings during the past
week, frayed tempers. There were
several sharp exchanges.
But Republican Leader Know
land Of California called for an
around.the- clock schedule, until the
bill is passed, to break what he
termed a filibuster against the Eli
senhower legislative program. He
is aiming for adjournment Of Con.
gress q week from Saturday.
What had been the main talking
point on the bill to revise the
Atomic Energy Act was disposed
of last night, before the session
had run more than IL hours.
The Senate voted down 55-36 an
amendment by Sen. Anderson d.
NM which would have forbade
the Atomic Energy Commission to
contract for electric power unless
it was to be used directlyy in Acc
plants. This would have had the
effect Of blocking Eisenhower's
directive to the Acc to enter into
q contract with q private power
combine for power to be delivered
in the Memphis, Tenn, area over
lines Of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority.
This private power would re-
place energy iva is supplying to
the Aces plant at Paducah, Ky.
The private plant would replace a
proposed iva steam plant for
which Congress thus far has re-
fused to provide funds.
A group Of Democratic senator's,
with the support Of Sens. Cooper
(R-Ky), LANCER (R-ND) and Morse
(Ind- -Ore), assailed the proposal as
costly and a. \ move to under
mine iva. Administration hackers
called 1t the cheapest way to OBJ
tain power needed in the area.
Eisenhower told his news con-
ference yesterday that anyone who
says he is seeking to destroy IVA
is in error-to put it mildly.
After defeat Of the Anderson pro-
posal, the Senate adopted a rival
amendment by Sen. Ferguson (R-
Mich) specifically to authorize an
Acc contract with the private pow
er group. Voice vote approval was !
clinched on . Ss-SS rollcall.
Disposition Of that issue still left |
the 1o4-page administration bill to
overhaul drastically the is46 Atom |
ic Energy Act. In the main, the
bill would permit the government

Hal Boyle
Says

NEW YORK Up - Capt. George
Clancy has made 1920 visits to
the Statue of Liberty-and never
yet been inside it.
"Too busy" he says crisply.
"Never get the time.
For 6 years he has piloted a
ferry boat from the Battery to Bed
loe's Island, bringing literally mil
lions of visitors to. Americas s
greatest national shrine. The round
trip is only about 3 miles, but in
those years Clancy has. journeyed
almost twice the distance around
the earth.
Today gave Clancy the proudest
moment in his 46 years of living.
He was at the helm of the "Miss
Liberty" a new 460-ton excursion
steamer, as she made her maiden
trip through New York harbor. The
three-deck vessel, which will carry
$50 passengers, was added to its
fleet by the Circle Line company
because of the growing popularity
Of the Statue of Liberty as a tour
list mecca,
Francis J. Barry, general man.
ager of the Circle Line, said the
$400, 900 Miss Liberty" is the first
excursion steamer of its type de-
signed and built in the United
States in the last Is years.
II can't see how they could i'm
prove on her." said Clancy, pat
ting the wheel as if it were a living
thing.
Clancy, a clipper little blue.eyed
skipper (5-feet-5, weight 14O), may
be harbor-bound now, but he has
quite a career to look back on. He
was born in Fitchburg, Mass, and
went to sea at 16.
''I've had IL years of deep water
experience" he recalled. 'I've
been around the world three times,
and hit about every country on the
globe. I've sailed, under four flags
American, Norwegian, British
and Honduran.
Clancy served with the Army
Transport Service during the war
He also spent four years travelling
with the Ringing circus as side
show magician and animal trainer.
81 had IA BEARS" he remarked,
and let the matter drop, as if that
alone were enough to explain why
he returned to the sea. ."
"Now I'm all settled down and
married and get home at nights,
he said. Clancy met apd wooed
his wife-she's the daughter of the
superintendent of the Statue of
Liberty national monument-while
she was committing to and from
Manhattan on his vessel.
Clancy has ferried all types Of
people out to the statue-"from
children and senator's to governors
and movie stars, from Faye Emer-
son to United Nations officials.
but immigrants seem to get the
biggest thrill" he said. MANY
saw the statue from the deck of a
ship when they first came to this
country years ago, and they have
q desire to see what it looks like
real close. Sometimes they cry. 1t
stirs up old memories"
Captain Clancy says his nine
daily trips never get monotonous,
and he doesn't feel rut-bound.
You're too busy" he said. This
is the busiest harbor in the world,
and you're crossing all the big
liners going in and out. You don't
have time to think of anything
else"
No impish Irish impulse to by
pass the Statue of Liberty and
chug his boatload Of sighteers on
down to Florida ever tempts the
stout stern mind of Clancy. Or if
it does, he won't admit it.
Anyway" he said firmly, i've
already seen Florida"

The Court of Appeals yesterday
reversed the manslaughter con-
viction of q 20-year-old Mont
gomery County beer truck driver
growing out of the death of two
boys struck by the truck he was

The high court said it found
the evidence insufficient to find

He was sentenced to not more

Church Bars Loyalty Oath,
Will Pay Taxes Instead

BERKELEY, Calf, Dec. IT.
The First Unitarian Church of
Berkeley announced yesterday it
had decided to pay annual taxes
of more than $4,000 rather than
sign a loyalty oath. Signing of
such a State oath would exempt
the church fro3n taxation.
Although we are qualified in
every respect for church prop
erty tax exemption" said Henry
Butler, president of the church's
Board of Trustees, 1--WE have paid
the first installment on our tax
$481.27 to the City of Berkeley,
and $662.50 to Alameda County
because on the grounds of re-
ligious conviction we cannot sign
the oath declaration"
DR.. J. Raymond Cope, church
minister, said the taxes would be
a heavy burden. He said pay
ment could not be construed as a
"leftish action" because the trus-
tees and congregation were "ex-
tremely conservative" He said
the trustees voted unanimously
to pay the taxes.
