Murray May Seek
Joint Committee View
OF Dixon-Yates Pact
By [. Edoor Primo

Commissioner Thomas E. Muir
ray is expected to propose early
this week that the Atomic Ener-
gy Commission send the contro-
versial Dixon-Yates contract to
the new Democratic controlled
Senate House Atomic Energy
Committee for its consideration.
An appointee of former Pres
ident Truman. Mr.. Murray voted
for the power pact last year, but
now wants it killed because of
the drain" he says it has been
on the commissions time.
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee. a member of the
Joint Committee and an arch
foe of Dixon-YateS. telegraphed
a request to the Acc last week
that a formal vote be taken on
whether to resubmit the contract
for approval.
In view of the present strained
situation within the Acc, there
appears to be little chance for
passage of any motion that
would give the Joint Committee
chance to withdraw it's blessing
When the Republicans were in
control last year. the committee
approved the contract.
According to Democratic con-
gressional sources, the personal
ity conflict between Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss and Mr.. Muir
ray and the aloof role being
played by the newest commission
member. DR.. Willard F. Libby,
has stymied action time and
again. One informant said:
Here S what has been happen
ing. Strauss makes a motion,
Libby and Murray abstain. Muir
ray makes motion, Strauss and
Libby abstain. Libby makes a
motion. Murray and Strauss alb
stain. Result: No action"
The Acc is five man COM
mission, but only three mem
bers are now serving. DR.. John
Won Neumann OF Princeton has
been nominated for one post, but
has not been confirmed by the
Senate. President Eisenhower
has not selected a fifth member.
With this situation, it takes two
votes to carry any action.

long awaited by Western world?
Frankly not good.
And in faraway Saigon, in still
another palace, sits Prime Minis
ter Ngo Dinh Diem of South
Vietnam, only tolerated by Mr..
Mendes-France and frankly un-
loved by most French leaders.
Mr.. Diem faces a herculean task
of welding his country together
in time to prevent the Com
munists from taking over in the
1856 elections. The latest re-
ports have him finally beginning
to get off the ground.
And finally. there is the whole
question of the French economy.
The real tragedy of "the Mendes
experiment" lies here. The man
who trained himself for nine
years to revitaliZe his country's
economy was too occupied with
foreign affairs when he finally
got his chance. And so little has
been done and much remains to
do in the vital fields of increased
production, tax reform and in
f1ation control.
Now it may never be done.

months and 18 days for the
French National Assembly to get
rid of its front-running Premier
Pierre Mendes-France. But it
tookSthe deputies only 10 bedlam-
like minutes yesterday morning
to reveal their reasons.
1t was five a.m.-10 minutes
after the new Assembly Presi-
dent, Pierre Schneiter, an
nounced officially the results
everyone had known for half an
hour.
The defeated Mendes- France
slowly mounted the speakers

Assembly it would have. to vote
some provisional budgets on
Monday.
He never got the chance.
Like Hounds After Hare.
Deputies of all political hues
united and went after him like
hounds after a hare. A Commu-
mist shouted at Mr.. Schneiter:
Follow the rule!" (The rule"
theoretically forbids a defeated
prime minister from addressing
the assembly right after defeat.)
Here, nakedly, was what beat

was the undisguised personal dis

ity of French parliamentarians
for this stranges barrel-chested
little man who had breathed life
and confidence and hope into
France in few short months.
Tonight, Mr.. Mendes-France's
friends are saying, as one of them
said to me: Its better that we
fell on North Africa, for the
country will never understand
how those wolves could dare
throw him out on question they
themselves approved less than
two months ago, and which was
two days from solution. This way
Mendes can come back stronger
than ever"

This may take care of Mr..

Nixon Leaving Today
On Central American
And Caribbean Tour
By Gould Lincoln

Vice President Nixon leaves
Washington at 9 am. today on
the first leg of a months good
will tour of Central American
and Caribbean republics. Cuba
is the first port of call.
The flying tour is being made,
at the instance of President Ell
senhower, to an area of great
Importance to the United States.
The Presidents brother. DR.. Mil
ton Eisenhower, was unable to
visit the area when he made a
trip to South America in 1858.
While the plan for the Nixon
tour was made more than a year
ago, it happens that it will take
the Vice President into a num-
ber of trouble spots. including
Guatemala, where the govern
ment of President Carlos Castillo
Armas is struggling to make a
success after turning out the
Communists. Also. Cuba where
the sugar problem is acute; Mic
aragua and Costa Rica. recently
threatening war upon each
other, Mexico which has eco
nomic problems and a movement
toward the left, and Panama
where a president was recently
assassinated The Vice PreSi-
dent is not going as an ambas-
sador to discuss these problems.
However, he will confer with all
the top officials.
Accompanied by Wife.
Accompanying the Vice Presi-
dent will be his wife, to whom
Mr.. Nixon himself assigns much
of the credit for his very sue
cessful tour of the Asian coun-
tries in the fall of 1858. AS a
goodwill ambassador Mrs. Nixon
ranks high. She will have a
separate program in the coun-
tries they visit, taking her into
schools and hospitals, of which
some of these countries are very
proud.
Hollands Going Along.
Mr.. Nixon said he is glad he
is to be accompanied on the tour
by Assistant Secretary of State
Henry F. Holland and Mrs. Hol-
land. Mr.. Holland has much
first hand information regarding
these countries, based on per-
sonal friendships and long &C
quaintance with their problems.
Other countries the Vice Presi-
dent will visit include Honduras,
Ell Salvador, the Dominican Re-
public. Haiti, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands. He expects
to return to Washin g o n
