Dispute Within Acc
On Strauss Power
Breaks Into Open
Three of Five Members
Protest Move Toward
.'One-Mun Commission
By the Associoted Press

Three of the five members of
the Atomic Energy Commission
today protested publicly against
any increase of power for the
commissions chairman, Lewis
l.. Strauss.
The dispute, which is reported
to have been simmering behind
the scenes, f1ared into the open
before the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee.
Henry D. Smyth and Thomas
E. Murray entered strong ohjec-
tionS to what Mr.. Murray called
the present trend toward CEN
tralization of authority" in Mr..
Strauss.
Hit Clause in Measure.
Their statements were made to
the committee in opposition to a
clause of the pending atomic en-
ergy bill making the chairman
the principal officer" of the
Acc.
A third commissioner, Eugene
M. Zuckert, did not file a state
ment on the issue but told re-
porterS:
ANY addition to the power Of
Ithe chairman is dangerous to
the commission
Chairman Strauss and Joseph
Campbell, both appointees of
President Eisenhower to the
commission, favor the new word
| ing, according to congressional
informants. Mr.. Campbell. de-
clined to tell reporters what his
position is.
Sees Shift Dangerous.
Mr.. Murray, in a prepared
statement, said any shift from
the present equality of authority
in Acc toward a "one-man COM
mission" would be dangerous.
He said he was seriously con-
cerned" lest the present ten
dency to concentrate power in
the chairman would "jeopardize
the effectiveness of the commits
sion form of organization which
is so necessary in the field OF
atomic energy"
Mr.. Zuckert suggested that the
congressional committee insert
in the proposed law a guarantee
that all members of the commits
sion shall have equal authority
and responsibility" and shall
have full access to all informa-
ton relating to the performance
of this authority and RESPONSE
bility."
Mr.. Smyth argued for reten-
ton of the present set-up, under
which all five members have
equal authority and a general
manager is responsible for ad-
minfstrative functions.
Variety of Experience Cited.
"The strength of the commits
sion depends not only on the
caliber of the five members, but
also on the variety of their back
grounds and experience" Mr..
Smyth said in a prepared state
ment.
"Since atomic energy will in
creaSingly affect our national
economy and our international
relations. no one man could pos
sibly be wise enough. in my opin-
ion, to make alone the policy
and planning decisions"

/. Defeated, 5 to 3, a move by
the three Negro members to or

cept and file" Supt. Hobart M.
Corning's plan to start integra-

spite this vague language, said
they approved of the Corning
plan in general.
3. Ordered DR.. Corning to COM
plete by July l a new, non-racial
map Of school districts. No time
was set. however, for putting
these new districts in effect.
No fiat decision was made by
the board yesterday as to when
and how segregation will be
ended. However, it was plain
from the tenor of the meeting,
as well as from the statements
of members afterwards, that the
voting majority intends to be
guided by the views of DR.. Corn
ing and his aides.
Integrati0n to Start in FAN.
This made it clear that the
dropping of race bars will def
nitely begin in September, as ad-
vocated by DR.. Corning. 1t also
made it likely that the school
system reorganization will be
completed by September, 1855;
also as proposed by the superin-
tendent.
On the other hand, it is now
unlikely that new boundaries
will take effect Immediately next
fall.
1t also appears doubtful that
the board will reject DR.. Corn
ing's plan to let many present
pupils stay in present schools.
even after new. boundaries take
effect. Some board members may
still try to block this proposal.
or at least amend it, however.
It now seems probable that

that will occur when schools first

Representative Withrow, Re

ployes in grades IA and above.
Declaring that the S per cent
increase would be too small,

lican, of Virginia offered a COM

provide another 500 to the first
10 grades in addition to the ad-

cent pay reclaSsification pro-
poSal.
Up to $500 Increases.
The compromise plan would

hill said it would provide an
average increase of about $500
for classified workers.
The committee decided to in
corporate the fringe benefits bill

launched the Council debate with
a charge that the Indo- China
war not only directly threatened
his country but menaced the
legal governments of neighbor-
ing Cambodia and Laos.
After Mr.. Sarasin spoke, the
Council adjourned indefinitely to
allow delegations to study the re-
quets and get instructions from
their capitals.
Only the Soviet Union opposed
the Thailand request. That act
foreshadowed a Soviet veto.
In the councils opening
speech, Soviet Delegate Semyon
K. TSarapkin charged the move
would hinder peace in Indo-
China. He said it would inter-
fere with negotiations at Geneva
on an Indo- China cease-f1re.

it was explained that Thailand
