Blueprint Faces Two
Points Of Contention
by the Asseeieied Press

Legislators working on Presi-
dent Eisenhower's blueprint for
q revised atomic energy law to-
day faced two major points of
contention:

Lewis L, Strauss.
2. How far private industry

The Eisenhower er-requested ON
nibus bill, now being considered
by the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee. is designed
to let private industry into the
peacetime atomic power field. It
also would provide authority for
exchanging more weapons and
civilian power information with
foreign allies.
Reported discomfort within
Acc ranks was underlined last
night with the announcement by
James G.. Beckerley that he in
tends to leave his post as the
commissions director of classi-
f1cation before the end of the
summer.
In this job. MIR. Beckerley plays
key role in selection of data
which may or may not be made
public. He declined to comment
on his reasons for quitting. but it
was learned that he considers the
Acc too conservative. about re-
leasing atomic information.

Mother and Daughter
Found StrangIed in
Old Folks Home
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Feb. 12-Scotland
Yard spread a nation wide drag.
net today for the stranger of a
prim little great-grandmother.
Lady" Menzies. and her red
haired daughter at their sedate
old folks home.
A police alert went out for two
men known to have frequented
the 12-room mansion in a quiet
Lon don suburb. Detectives
checked footprints and tire marks
in the tree lined garden and
fingerprints and bloodstains in
side the house.
Airports and seaports got the
descriptions of middle-aged
man and a handsome bearded
young man with pierced ears.
Police said they wanted to ques-
ton them.
Daughters Body In Tub.
The 68-year -old Mrs. Mary
Menzies, known to the 10 aged
residents Of the home she ran
as Lady" Menzies, was found
beaten and strangled in front
of cold hearth yesterday. tbs
half-clothed body Of her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Isobel Chesney, AZ, was
found submerged in an upstairs
bathtub.
It was believed the women
were murdered late Wednesday
night while the old folks slept
peacefully. So quietly did the
stranger strike that not even
Mrs. Menzies' two dogs barked
a warning.
The bodies were discovered by
q maid. Police last night moved
the dazed and frightened old
folks to new residences In the
area.
This morning. detectives
talked with Mrs. Chesney's mar
ried daughter. Anne, who with
/ her 3-year- old daughter lived at
the home until recently.
Husband Claims Title.
Mrs. Menzies' late husband,
Thomas. had contended he was
the 10th baronet Of the Clan
Menzies despite announcements
by peerage officials that the title
had become extinct.
Neighbors knew Lady" Men
zies as a kindly woman who had
befriended scores of old people in
their declining years. They were
at loss to suggest motive for
the killings.
They did recall, however, a
series of strange disturbances
last summer when a young man
went to the old folks home pro-
I testing vehemently about some
matter, which Mrs. Menzies re-
fused to discuss with her neigh
borS.
Once the man pounded on the
front door late at night. shout
ing angrily. Another time police
were called to escort him from
the front garden.
