4 Lawmakers
Reject A-bi|I

Four House Republicans say
a bill to provide for Federal
development of atomic-fueled
electric power plants is an
attempt to blackjack" the
Atomic Energy Commission
into accepting public power
theories.
The four. members of the
Senate-HouSe Atomic Energy
Committee. issued statement
yesterday commenting on the
bill approved by the committee
last Tuesday. The measure
would authorize $50 million for
the nuclear electric program.
The committee voted for the
bill largely along partisan
lines. the Democrats favoring
lit and the Republicans oppos-
ing.
The four G. O.P. Represen-
tatives-Cole, New York; Van
Zandt. Pennsylvania. Patterson,

projects provided for in the
bill would be mandatory on

This is the first time that
public power advocacy has
arisen in any way within the
Joint committee in connection
with the funding of the COM

The four Republicans also
accused the Democratic major
ity on the committee of strong
bias in favor of public power.

ment Of tests. although the
President still stands firm
on ten months suspension
plus cessation of manufac.-
ture.
Thomas Murray, retiring
Democratic member of the
Atomic Energy Commission,
who has stood for suspending
big bomb tests. has said it
would be indefensibly reck-
less to agree not to test
smaller weapons that could
be used in limited wars and
for civilian defense. And

seems'to have been impressed
by DR.. Edward Teller's plea
to permit continued testing
to find a bomb without fall
out, experiments which could
also contribute to peaceful
uses of nuclear energy.
But beyond the bog-down
of even a FIRST step" toward
disarmament is the question
of whether the prospect of
war is advancing or receding.
This hinges. in part. on the
political constellation in the
Soviet Union. Nikita Khru-
Shchev, secretary general Of
the Communist Party, obvi-
ously has the support of the
military. But who really con-
trolls military actions? The
party or the military? Which
would be most likely to start
COR risk a great war?
Friends who have studied
the Russian situation most
closely think the party is
more dangerous-that the
military would oppose war.
So it's really a question Of
atom, atom, who's got the
atom?"-and who could re-
lease 1t.

McE|roy Linked
ToDefensePos

High administration sources
indicated today that Neil H.
McElroy, president of Proctor
81 Gamble Co.. is among those
under consideration to succeed
Charles E. Wilson when he
resigns as Secretary of Defense.
Mr.. Wilson. former president
of General Motors, has been
planning to quit for some time.
but he told reporters this week
no date has been set. He said,
however. he had talked with
President Eisenhower about
possible successors.
While some officials were
saying Mr.. McElroy was very
much in the picture for the
Wilson post, White House
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty when questioned about the
soap company executive as a
prospect. said:
There is no vacancy and /
haven't anything before me. "
He was asked about a story
by the Cincinnati Enquirer
that McElroy was coming to
Washington Monday for con-
ferences about the appoint
ment. Hagerty said he did not
know of any White House
conference on the subject.
This, however, did not rule out
a conference elsewhere. possibly
the Pentagon.
The Enquirer said fatty Mr..
McElroy has been offered the
cabinet post. Mr.. McElroy was
quoted in Cincinnati as con-
f1rming that something is
under consideration" but moth
ing is settled.
1T is a matter that is en-
tlrely IN their (WaShington'S)
hands," he added.
One Of the main questions
that would have to be settled
in advance of a selection Of a
buinessman would be whether
he would be willing to give up
any financial intrest he has in
Proctor g. Gamble to avoid vio-
lation of the conflict of interest
laws. The firm does consider
able business with the Gov
eminent.
Mr.. Wilson sold out his vast
interests in General Motors be-
fore he joined the cabinet.
Among others who have been
nominated for Mr.. Wilson's
post are two men already in
the Defense Department, Dep
uty Secretary Donald Quarles
and Assistant Secretary w. j.
Mcneil.
