Power Asked for President
To Exchange Atom Data
Plan Calls
For Big Shift
In Statutes

The administration proposed
TO congressional leaders today
that the President should be
permitted to exchange atomic
information. materials or skills
with the Nations allies when
ever he considers it in the ma
tional interest to do so.
The proposal, laid before a
bipartisan meeting at the White
House. would call for a far more
dramatic revision of the atomic
energy law than President Ell
senhower's advisers had pre-
viously been thought to favor.
The new plan was put for
ward as a major part of the
free worlds answer TO Russia's
bid for atomic superiority.
1t would be expected primar-
lily to affect United States
British relations. But the
proposed new law would not
distinguish among allies, and
so 1t will concern all the NATO
powers when they convene in
Paris December l6.
Two Criteria Urged
Spokesman for the executive
branch urged at today's meet
ing that Congress should estab-
lish two principal criteria for
ticklish decisions regarding the
exchange of nuclear informa-
ton. They we're:
!. Any information which
the Russians are believed all
ready TO have should be ex-
changeable among the free
world nations.
2. In addition, the President
should be permitted to decide.
in his own discretion. that pro-
viding an ally with other, still
secret nuclear information
would be in the national in
terest. and to act accordingly.
In effect, the President would
have complete freedom Of de-
cision as to the exchange Of
information. under the pro-
posed legislation.
Providing an ally with rs
sionable materials. would be q
: little more complicated. Since
! such a move would involve
agreement between the two
parties TO the exchange. Con-
! gress would have to approve
; each transfer.
Greatest Effect in Atom Area
1t is in the area of atomic
information that the proposed
legislative changes would be ex-
pected to have their greatest
effect The present act. passed
in 1854. eased earlier restric-
tons somewhat. But it forbade
the executive branch, among
other things, to pass on any
information on the design or
construction of nuclear
weapons.
This is the principal specific
prohibition which the new plan
would lift. The change in ap-
proach. however. also would be
expected to ease greatly the
exchange Of information re-
garding uses Of nuclear energy,
in which the race with the So
Wet sphere is equally critical.
In practice. it has been difficult
to draw a sharp line between
information affecting weapons

Trouble With Valve
The experts were optimistic
that they would have this

was learned from various
sources that trailer equipment

5 R.-Secretary OF Labor
Mitchell said today the idea o.

But he avoided any outright
support or rejection when
asked about a plan advocated
yesterday to representatives OF
SIS million unioniSts by one Of
their colleagues.
The idea met with general
disfavor by labor leaders.

aides that he would personally

But he said any moratorium
must be considered by labor
and management itself. and
not the Government.
Labor federation leaders
generally disagreed with the
plan put forward by Richard
J. Gray. president of the ALL
CIO Building and Construction
Trades Department.
In talking to newsmen. Mr..
Mitchell mentioned that Presi-
dent Eisenhower. IN his state
of-the-Union message last jan
uary. called on labor and man
agement to exercise voluntary
restraint in wage demands.
Urges Consideration
IF this Is to meet the Presi-
dents request Of voluntary re-
straint. II deserves elaboration
and consideration" Mr.. Mitch
ell declared.
Asked If he thought the idea
should apply TO the United
Auto Workers who have said
they would seek substantial
wage increases next year. Mr..
Mitchell said it was 8 matter
for the union and the industry
to work out.
The Labor Secretary said the
proposal might have some
merit in making housing costs
reachable for the middle and
low income groups.
Labor Thesis Cited
Mr.. Gray. in a speech to his
building trades group yester-
day. called for loosened Govern
ment credit policies to aid
financing Of all types OF con-
struction and suggested the
wage moratorium to counter
imitation. He said his plan
would create more construction
jobs.
But other AFL-CIO leaders
were quick to bark back to the
AFL-CIO's economic thesis that
q high wage policy Is good for
the country by creating mass
purchasing power to buy up
production. Mr.. Meany was ex-
pected to stress this.
