Mitchell Criticizes
Eisenhower Role in
Acc Power Contract
Says Presidents Friend,
Golfer Bob Jones, Has
Interest in Syndicate
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 18th e
Democratic national chairman
says President Eisenhower per-
sonally ordered the award Of a
contract to a syndicate in which
one Of the Presidents closest
friends" has an interest.
Stephen A, Mitchell, in a de-
bate yesterday with Republican
National Chairman Leonard w
Hall. asserted the President is
sued a personal order on awarding
the contract to supply electricity
to an atomic installation despite
protests of both the Atomic En-
ergy Commission and the iva,
and without competitive bidding.
Mr.. Hall in his turn in the de-
bate said he believed that the
American people will rise up and
condemn such an unwarranted
attack"
In Washington James c. Hag-
erty, White House pres secre-
tary. said he had no comment to
make on Mr.. Mitchells allega-
ton.
Fund Request Barred.
Mr.. Mitchell, in the debate
before a section Of the Ameri-
can Bar Associations annual
meeting. said the Senate subcom-
mittee on monopoly asked for
funds to investigate the situa-
ton but that "the Republican
leadership through Senator Jen-
ner. Republican. of Indiana, bot
tied up the request so they can't
get a dime"
Here is something that really
needs investigating" Mr.. Mitch
ell added.
Mr.. Mitchell later emphasized
to newsmen that his remarks on
the need for an investigation
did not directly refer to the
Presidents alleged role in the
incident.
Mr.. Mitchell said the contract
involved was for providing cleo
trical power for the atomic
energy plant at Paducah, KY,
and was $50 million higher than
that offered by a rival syndicate
and was $140 million more than
the iva would require to supply
the power.
Bobby Jones Linked.
Mr.. Mitchell did not mention
the name of the person he de-
scribed as one of the Presidents
closest friends" but his Office
said later he referred to golfer
Bobby Jones. Mr.. Jones is a
director of the Southern COM
pany, a utilities group.

Administration had objected
strenuously, when it amended
the original Senate measure and
passed it by a 305-2 vote yester-
day.
During debate today Senator
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa, assailed the House action
and announced he would offer
an amendment to restore the
criminal provision.
Reasons for Objections.
Attorney General Brownell
and a Republican congressional
leader based their objections on
a fear that to make it a crime
to belong to the Communist
Party would in effect destroy
portions Of the Internal Security
Act and make prosecutions un-
der the Smith Act more difficult.
Senator Humphrey denied
that any such thing would hap
pen. He said:
ANY talk to the effect that
the action taken by the Senate
by an $50 vote weakens the
internal security laws are COM
ments not based on fact"
During Senator Humphreys
speech Senator Morse, indie
pendent, of Oregon, twitted the
administration for it's stand on
the Senate bill.
ut now appears that the
White House thinks that the
Senator from Minnesota is a lit
tie too harsh on the Commu-
nists," he remarked.
The Oregonian also comment
ed that it was remarkable" to
find Attorney General Brownell,
FBI Chief j. Edgar Hoover,
"and even the White House itself,
deploring the fact that even
here in the Senate we come to
grips with that conspiracy. ="
Six Amendments Accepted.
Later. the Senate approved,
62-19, six technical amendments
offered by Senator Butler, Re-
publican, of Maryland. All nom
controversial, the amendments
apply chiefly to the section of
the combination bill aimed at
Red domination of certain la
Dor unions. Senator Butler said
they would clarity the legisla-
ton.
Should the Senate reject the
Humphrey amendment, it is
likely to pass the bill today and
send it to the House where Re-
publican leaders will attempt to
get concurrence of that cham
Der.
If they succeed the bill would
go to the White House. If not
the measure would have to go
to a House-Senate conference to
compose the differences.
Will Limit Debate.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland had obtained an
agreement for a debate limit
today of three hours on the bill
and the Butler amendments and
half hour on any other amend
ments that might be offered.
The Senate approved the bill

House Tackles
Revised Version
Of Atomic Bill
Senate Quickly Votes
New Compromise
On Patents Issue
BY the Associated Press

"A bill to revamp the Nations
eight-year-old Atomic Energy
Law was before the House today
for possible final vote after
the Senate had passed a fresh
compromise resolving the key
atomic patents issue.
In a marked change from its
earlier handling of the atomic
bill, the Senate last night &C
cepted with hardly a furry a
new agreement worked out by
a Senate House conference COM
mittee in a few hours. The roll
call vote was 59-17.
The Senate-passed compro-
mise would continue Government
control of most atomic patents
for the next five years. It also
would open the way for private
development of atomic patents
after that time.
Adjournment Bar Lifted.
The bill-which cleaves to
President Eisenhower's atomic
program in most respects-would
authorize limited exchange of
atomic information with United
States allies and would permit
entry Of private industry into
the atomic field.
The measure had doomed as a
possible major obstacle to hopes
for adjournment of Congress this
week.
The snag on which the bill had
stuck in the Senate had been the
question of patents on civilian
atomic developments.
The first time the bill was
considered by the Senate last
month, it took 10 days of de-
bate-including several round
the-clock sessions-to finish the
job. Then late last week the
Senate argued the merits of a
proposed compromise-and sent
it back to conference as unac-
ceptable.
Quarrel Over Patent Sharing.
That first compromise would
have given normal 17-year ex-
elusive patent rights to private
interests developing atomic de-
vices and processes on their own.
It also provided that firms agree
ing to share their patents on q
fee basis tor five years would get
preference in licensing by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The House approved this ar
rangement, but the Senate in
sisted on 10 years Of compulsory
patent sharing. Senators who
fought for compulsory patent
sharing said it was needed to
prevent monopoly practices.
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican. Of Iowa, vice chairman of
the Senate House Atomic En-
ergy Committee, told the Senate
the compromise retains House
and Senate provisions which
previously had been viewed as
conflicting, by providing COM
pulsory patent sharing to start
with and then reverting to the
exclusive patent system later.
Safeguards" for Public.
Senator Hickenlooper termed
the compromise an effort to ''lay
the groundwork to see what hap
pens when we turn good old
American ingenuity loose" He
said it contains good safe
guards" for the public interest.
Another major section Of the
compromise would require that
publicly owned utilities and CO.
operatives be given first prefer
ence as customers for surplus
electric power produced by the
Acc or any other Federal agency.
Senator Hickenlooper said the
measure declares "the Acc is not
to go into the business of pro-
ducing commercial electric
power" but that it's terms do
give Acc ample authority to
conduct research and expert
ments designed to harness atomic
power for the generation of cleo

Quick Passage Seen
For Farm Bill Today
As Conferees Aqree
Bill Represents Victory
For Eisenhower; Few
Points Are Chunoed

The administrations farm bill
apparently was slated for swift
final passage by both Houses of
Congress today as politics-con-
scious legislators attempted to
gauge its effects upon the con-
gressional elections this Novem-
Der.
The Senate House Conference
Committee completed work on
the bill yesterday. It repre-
sented an administration VIC
tory on most major points.
Parallels Original Request.
On two Of them--the issue of
sliding-scale price supports for
farm commodities, and lower
price supports for dairy prod
ucts-the administration won
almost without compromise. On
most other points, conference
decisions closely paralleled the
administrations original pro-
posals.
President Eisenhower, who
wrote a letter to the conferees
last week stating his views, lost
only one major objective: A sec
ton of the bill which would have
revised laws covering grazing
rights on national forest lands.
This was dropped by the con-
ferees with promises that House
and Senate agriculture commit
tees will take it up again in the
next session of Congress.
Predict G. 0. p. Losses.
Backers of the present 80 per
cent of parity price support sys-'
tem-changed in the bill to a
sliding scale ranging from 821a
per cent to 80 per cent-pre-
dicted that farm State resent
ment may cost the Republicans
heavily this fall
Senator Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana, said he believes farm
ers "are of the belief they have
been let down by the admins
tration and are being punished
because they have been patriotic
in following the Governments
past requests for increased pro-
duction.'
Senator Ellender said the bill
will be one of the main factors
causing the House to go Demo-
cratic this fall and there is a
strong probability the Senate
will also go Democratic.
Senator Young of North Da-
kota, second-ranking Republican
on the agriculture committee,
said he thought the bill would be
very unpopular with the rank
and file of the party"
Chairmen Stand Firm.
During Senate consideration
Of the bill a week ago. Senator
Young was even more emphatic.
He predicted then it might cost
a number of Republican seats in
farm States.
However. both Chairman AK
en-, Republican, of Vermont, of
the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee and Chairman Hope, Repub-
ican, of Kansas, of the House
Agriculture Committee, refused to
be stampeded by predictions of
political disaster. In almost iden-
tical language they described it
as mot such bad bill-it could
be a lot worse" And both were
confident it would receive final
approval by both Houses with
out any extensive debate.
Wool-State Senators, at first
threatening to oppose the con-
ference report because of re-
strictions placed on incentive
payments to wool growers. re-
portedly have decided to go along
with it. Some for-the-record OPP
position is expected from dairy
state legislators, displeased be-
