WASHINGTON. June 12 -AV
6enator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa)
Saturday bitterly protested the
raising of secrecy ban in the con
gressional airing of his "incred
ible mismanagement" charge -gainst
the atomic energy commis
sion.
The Iowan. chief critic of AECI
chairman David E. Lilienthal, de
manded a one-day delay in pu
blic hearings to thresh out the pro
blem but with only partial success.
.Senator McMahon, chairman of:
the senate-house atomic investi
gating committee, turned down th
delay request but aereed to a
closed-door session of the com
mittee Monday afternoon to hear
Hickenlooper's objections.
McMahon said Dr. J.. Robert Op
penheimer, who directed research
on the atomic bomb, had been cal
led to testify before the committee
Monday morning. Oppenheimer
now heads the Institute of ad
vanced studies at Princeton. N. J., I
and Is chairman of the OKC's gen
eral advisory committee.
BUler ever Decision
Hitkenlooper. bitter over a
f-to-8 committee decision yester
day requiring him to present his
evidence against the commission's
loyalty review program behind
closed doors, had said earlier:
No progress can be made in
this investigation if the curtain
of secrecy is rung down every time
embarrassing evidence is offered.
' .Said he was sticking to the open
healing plan for two reason: (A)
TJiete had been "conflicting testi
mony" on the matter of shipments
of radioactive isotopes to foreign
countries, and (B) Dr. Oppenhei
mer Li "visiting the west coast next i
w'k and is only available fori
testimony on Monday."
Tells Conference
McMahon told a news confer
ence:
I. He will a?ain bring up th. If . 1 .f
matter of shipping tddioaclive gj Ol Cl ifl (U (I
isotopes i atomic iKimuarneo ut.i

looper is not ready Monday. Mc
Mahon -said the matter has been
"left hanging in air" as a resu'.t of
last week's testimony.
2. The committee is turning to

Wary Enough
WASHINGTON. June 12-OV
Senator Tydings (D-Md) said to
day chairman David E. Lilienthal
has failed to take enough care In
safekeeping atomic energy com
.mission secrets.
Tydings is a member of the
senate-house atomic committee
investigating Lilienthal's adminis
tration. He said in a radio interview he
thinks the, AFC chairman has not
been "as judicious as we have a
right to expect of one who has
charge of such an important agen
cy, an operation that affects the
life and welfare of all of us."
Tydings added, however, that
he thinks "in many resects Mr.
Lilienthal has done a good job."
He said he wants to keep his mind
'reasonably open" until all th
facts of tho committee's Inquiry
come out.
His statement came as the com
mittee prepared to open a third
week of hearings tomorrow into
charges by Senator Hickenlooper
(R-Iowa) of "incredible misman
agement" against Lilienthal.
Senator McMahon (D-Conn)
announced that Dr. J. Robert Op
penheimer, chairman of A EC's
general advisory committee and
former director of the Los Ala
mos, N. M , weapons laboratory,
will totify during tho forenoon.
This will bo followed in the
afternoon by a closed session to
discuss the "curtain of .secrecy"
which Hickenlooper charged ha
been "rung down every time em
barrassing evidence is offered."
