End of ICA
Is Askedby
Mansfield
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mansfield of Mon
tana. the new Senate Demo-
cratic leader, urged last night
that the international Cooper.
alton Administration be abol.
ished and its foreign aid func-
tions handed to the State De-
partment.
If we do this" Senator
Mansfield said, I'VE can ac-
complish a great deal more in
foreign aid and with q great
deal less and put the program
where 1t belongs, because in
the field Of foreign policy you
can only speak with one voice
and that voice is the State De-
partment."
Senator Mansfield, in a taped
radio interview, said such q
shift would save money and
achieve much more in the way
Of results and a greater return
In value received for dollars
expended"
Senator Mansfield renewed
his proposal in a discussion Of
the Laos crisis. He said the
United States must reassess its
foreign policy.
Senator Mansfield said he
hopes President-elect Kennedy
will advocate greater emphasis
on economic assistance abroad
rather than military aid.
"The answers to our diff
culties overseas are not in
dollars alone" he said. "It's
how you apply those dollars.
If you're going to emphasize
q military rim around the So
Wet Union, I think you're build

guarded vans.
Arriving in the dead Of night,
the treasure was transferred
without delay from the vans

Hoped for Policy Statement
The seven sponsors Of the

licans from each State delega-

ing at the time. At least so
are on duty there in the day
time.
It was the first fatal accident
in the II years Of operation at
the National Reactor Testing
Station, q major Acc installa-
ton.
It may be weeks before the
Acc knows exactly what hap
pened. But q spokesman said
1t apparently was o chemical
explosion.
About $500 permanent en-
ployes work at the station west
Of here and the Acc said 1t
planned no changes in their
schedules today.
The engine for Americas
first atomic submarine was de-
veloped at the site and tests are
now being conducted there on
q variety Of projects, including
the power plant for an atomic
airplane.
Five years ago the nearby VII
lage Of Arco, Idaho, was lighted
for several hours on q July
night by power from q station
ireactor in q demonstration in
advance Of an international
atomic conference in Geneva.
The Pathological crew men,
bers who entered the metal
building one at Q time in an
effort to retrieve the remaining
two bodies pieced together this
picture Of the explosion:
The experimental reactor,
being developed as q portable
source of electric power and
heat for the armed forces, ap-
parently "blew its top"
The reactor and the boiling
water in which it is immersed
are housed in a metal shell
which was not penetrated. This
is capped by a metal cover
through which fuel and control
rods run to reach the enriched
uranium core Of the reactor.
The reactor is housed in the
basement. where the explosion
apparently occurred. a main
floor and an attic. The blast
did not appear to have pene-
trated above the basement. The
exterior of the building was not
damaged.
The Acc said any theories on
the cause Of the explosion
would be purely guesswork
pending the report of a group
of investigators being flown
from Washington, D. c. Theil
report may be weeks in coming
However, the Acc spokesmer
said it probably was a chemical
explosion, possibly caused by q
reaction between aluminium
components Of the reactor and
the boiling water
The reactor would have two
functions in actual use: To gen.
crate steam which in turr
would generate power, and to
use the steam and boiling watel
to provide heat for barracks Al

voted against 1t suggested II
raised q constitutional issue OF

tween the executive and legis-
lative branches, since the Vice
President will be an arm Of the

The Senate spent more than
two hours yesterday obtaining
opinions from Vice President
Nixon on parliamentary pro-
cedure to set the stage for the
debate on a whole series Of rule
changes.
The two major changes are
aimed at curbing filibusters.
One would let 81 Senator's
majority Of the entire member
ship-limit debate. The other
would enable 90 Senator'S
three-fifths Of the membership
END debate. The present rule
requires two thirds. which
could be 81 II all Senator's were
present.
Other Changes Offered
Senator Clark. Democrat of
Pennsylvania. offered six other
changes aimed at Q wide variety
If Senate customs which liberals
feel impede their legislative
taims.
One important provision OF
the Clark motions would re-
quire that o majority Of the
eonferees appointed to settle
differences with the House on
q major bill would have to be
in sympathy with the Senate
version.
Another would enable q
majority Of any Senate Com.
mittee to meet and act on bills
regardless Of the wishes Of the
chairman.
A third would permit q
majority Of the Senate to Inn
pose q rule Of germaneness to

Senator Clark also came up
with q new maneuver to curb
the power Of Senators Harry
Byrd, Democrat Of Virginia, and
Eastland, Democrat Of Missis-
sippi. by moving to increase
Senator Byrd's Finance Com
