Tighter Control
|Of.AEC SOUGHT
By the AssoeIatea Pres.

A Senate House Atomic Energy
subcommittee is working on
legislation to tighten Congress
control over multimillion dollar
Government spending to stimu-
late private atomic power de-
velopment.
The effect. it was learned
today. would be to require the
Atomic Energy Commission to
come to the Joint committee
annually for more detailed ap.
prevail Of its undertakings in
conjunction with private in
|dustry.
Chairman Cannon. Democrat
Of Missouri. of the House Appro-
Ipriations Committee told the
House last month that under
present legislation, as interpre-
ted by. Acc, the commission was
undertaking to spend 1926 mil
lion on the private power pro-
gram during the three years end
ing June 30, 1858. But he said
the Acc was seeking committee
approval for only $40 millions OF
that total.
Mr.. Cannon said such pro-
cedure put his Appropriations
Committee lin an extremely
difficult position" by placing on
it responsibility for programs
not passed on by an Expert
Committee.
The 1854 Atomic Energy Act
gave Acc blanket spending
authorization in certain fields
so that thereafter it had to &c
to Congress annually only for
appropriations. The extent OF
that authorization is what is in
dispute.
Mr.. Cannon commended the
commission has effectively
levaded" the intent Of the meas
lure so far as electric power
programs are concerned. BY
designating some 80 per cent
of its spending in this field as
operating expenses" he said,
it has taken the major part
of the program out of the con-
itrol Of the Joint Committee.
The legislation now being
prepared would amend the 1854
act. tighten the language and
provide that more Of the Aces
power plans must be submitted
to the Joint Committee for re-
viow

AS a basic matter, FEC said
yesterday that after a two-year
study it has decided it has the
power to authorize paid tele-
vision on the existing Tv chan
nels. This contention has been
sharply challenged by the Ma
tional Association Of Radio and
Television Broadcasters and
