Bill for New AECHome
Goes to Eisenhower

Congress today completed APP
proval of legislation for con-
struction of a $40 million Office
building for the Atomic Energy
Commission and sent it to the
White House.
In a surprise move the House
passed a measure which yester-
day had been put over for ac-
ton. The House quickly then
approved an identical measure
previously passed by the Senate
and ordered the Senate measure
sent to the President for his
signature
The building would be erected
in or near the District under
plans developed by the Atomic
Energy Commission and the Of
flee of Defense Mobilization.
During debate on the House
floor yesterday. the distance
from Washington proposed for
the structure varied from Is
miles to 80 miles.
Personnel About 1920 Now
Personnel of Acc, who occupy
four buildings. including head
quarters on Constitution avenue,
now number about 1900. 1t is
estimated that in another two
years the figure will rise to
1900.
Shortly after the House met

today. Majority Leader McCor-
mack, Democrat, of MasSachu-
sets called up the House bill
and asked that regardless of the
arrangement yesterday for it to
go over. that the House approve
the measure.
The House Immediately passed
the bill by voice vote. Then
Representative Durham. Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, vice
chairman of the Joint Congress
sional Committee on Atomic
Energy. called up the identical
bill already passed by the Sem
ate. The Senate bill was APP
proved by voice vote and sent to
the White House. The earlier
action on the House bill was
then vacated.

the injury.
Senator Byrd said the amend
ment does not change the Pres
ident's authority to override the
Tariff Commission in escape
clause cases when he decides it
would be against the overall in
terests of the United States to
raise tariffs.
Perhaps the most important
change the Senate committee
made in the House bill was the
adoption last week of an amend
ment to protect textiles and
several other industries from
possible double jeopardy in the
form of two tariff cuts in a
short time growing out of a

French Approve
The Associated Press said
French diplomatic sources ex-

But there was disappointment,
of course, in Taipei, the Nation

official there remarked:

fruitless."

Peiping Talks
Get Supporto Of
Eisenhower

President Eisenhower said to-
day the United States should be
glad to talk with the Chinese
Communists about a cease-fire
in the Formosa area and any
thing else which might further
the cause of peace that does not
affect the interests of the Chi
nese Nationalist.
He emphasized at a news con-
ference that this Government
would not discuss affairs of the
Chinese Nationalist behind
their backs with the Reds.
But. he insisted that it would
be perfectly legitimate to talk
with the Communists about a
cease-fire in the Formosa area
without the Nationalist being
represented.
He explained that he considers
cease-f1re as purely academic
question for the Nationalist be-
cause so far as he knows they
are not firing now except in de-
tense. While ne is not saying
the Nationalist have no interest
in a cease-flre. he added that
stopping the fighting there is
entirely up to the Chinese Com
muniStS.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he had
approved in advance a news con-
ference statement by Secretary
of State Dulles yesterday, which
appeared to many observers to
reverse a position taken by the.
State Department in a statement
last Saturday.
Admits Overstatement
The Saturday statement, fol-
lowing closely on the heels of
Chinese Communist Premier
Chou En-lai's offer to talk with
the United States about relaxing
tensions in the Formosa area,
said the United States would in
Sist on Nationalist China particl-
pating in any discussions
concerning the area.
Mr.. Eisenhower said today that
might have been a touch of an
overstatement.
But he described any change
in the American position as
more apparent than real. He
added that the Saturday state
ment might have been in error
in not being as complete as it
could have been.
The point was. he emphasized,
that the United States would not
talk about Nationalist Chinese
affairs without the Nationalist
being present. But at the same
time, he said he thought Mr..
Dulles had made clear that we
would be glad to meet and talk
about a cease fire.
Explains Stand
This Government also, of
course. would be willing to talk
with the Chinese Communists
he referred to them as Chicoms
about the release of American
airmen and other prisoners held
in Red China and anything else
that does not effect the Chinese
Nationalist which seems to fur
ther peace. the President told
questioners.
He added that he was taking
Mr.. Chou's word about discuss
ing the relaxing of tensions with
reservations but with hope.
Mixed reaction had greeted
Mr.. Dulles announcement, but
1t appeared that praise for the
change was running we'll head
OF the criticism.
Some influential members of
Congress disapproved the shift.
But others were pleased and the
new policy was hailed in such
allied capitals as London and
Paris.
The new policy drew important
support today from Republican
Senator H. Alexander Smith of
New Jersey, strong hacker of
the Nationalist. He said Sec
rotary Dulles had taken the
right tack.

Resistance to the campaign to
pass a $4,000 swimming pool bond
issue in Bluffton came to the surface
Thursday morning with the appear

Ed Good, North Lawn avenue, later

declined to name any others connect

Alternate Route
Issue Raised By
1t. Gov. Brown
State Official Addresses
Business & Professional
WOmen'S Club Here

Declaring that he sees no reason
why Bluffton is denied a state-main-
tanned alternate Route 25 through
town since other Ohio cities have
received that consideration, 1t. Gov.
John w. Brown confided to a Bluffton
audience Monday evening that the
states highway program is a "mess"
in more than one way.
Speaking at meeting of the
Business & Professional Women's
club at the Legion hall, the lieutenant
governor noted that Ashland, Ohio,
has a beautiful alternate route
through town although the main
state route bypasses the city. Brown
had tried to intercede with the high
way department to retain the old
Route % as an alternate in Bluffton,
but to no avail.
"The people of Ohio want better
roads and have provided the money
for them, but for some reason the
program isn't off to a good start, y
Brown said. He cited the fact that
this year $125 million has been
available for better roads in Ohio, yet
only SAB million of the money has
been committed for construction. An
other 1925 million will be available
in January.
The lieutenant governor reviewed
legislation adopted by the last general
assembly in his Report To The
People" talk, citing the fact that
despite the highest employment ever
recorded in Ohio, millions were still
appropriated for poor relief. He also
noted that the state increased un-
employment compensation from $50
to $35 per week for periods up to 26
weeks, but despite the high level of
employment, labor unions have not
been content.
He urged defeat of the CIO initial
ed unemployment compensation law
which would provide payments up
to $50 per week for an unemployed
person for period of 80 weeks.
81 heartily recommend that Ohio
ans accept the recommendations OF
the General Assembly. We are faced
with the destruction of a certain
phase of our government if we ap-
prove such radical departures from
the policy of our legally elected re-
representatives." 1t. Gov. Brown de.
clared.
On the other hand, Brown urged

Status Quo Remains
On Street Lights
Til Next Sept.

If you're one of the many who
feel that additional street lighting
is needed in many areas of the town
and that we might as well get it for
free during the two-year period of SER
vice without charge by the Ohio Power
Co., don't bother the mayor or council,
for it won't do you any good.
Statements from the Ohio Power
Co. this week pointed out that for
the existing life of the free-service
agreement no additional street lights
can be added in the town, and neither
can any be taken away.
1t is not that the utility wants to
be arbitrary in the matter, spokes-
man said, but if one additional light
is put up as an accommodation, a host
of others Immediately will be de-
manded. Consequently, the policy has
to be no new lights until the towns
new system is put into operation next
fall.

Funds for the pool, he said, should

persons would be willing to donate
labor on the project, he added.
