Congress Refuses to Halt
Atomic Energy Probe
Washington, June 25 VP) Chairman McMahon (D., Conn.), of the
senate-house atomic committee has turned thumbs down on a
demand by Rep. Price (D., 111.), that the congressional investiga
tion of the atomic energy commission be halted.
Senator Hickenlooper (R.,

CVA As Dictator
Washington, June 25 VP)
Governor Langlie of Washing
ton contended today the propos
d Columbia valley administra
tion would deprive northwest
states of part of their authority
and also take over the "entire
area of the state of Washington."
In a 90-minute exchange with
Senator Magnuson (D., Wash.)
on the merits of the administra
tion backed program for devel
opment of the Columbia basin
states, the republican governor
said:
"Right off the bat It (the CVA
bill) takes into the CVA the en
tire area of the state of Wash
ington, even those sections out
side of the Columbia valley."
Based on the commerce and
national defense causes of the
constitution, he added, "you ex
pand its authority to one field
after another."
Reiterating his previous tes
timony that the CVA would
usurp some state authority,
Langlie took exception to a sec
tion of the bill that permits the
"CVA to make payments to local
governments instead of paying
taxes for land it takes over.
"It is going a long way to let
three men (the proposed CVA
board) decide how much shall
be paid in lieu of taxes," he told
the senate public works commit
tee considering the CVA bill. "It
In effect is misuse of the govern
ment's power to tax.
"I want the people to have a
voice in how, when and where
taxes shall be paid."
Langlie contended that the
three-man board could take
away land in the state "Just as
the atomic energy commission
has done."
The three man board would
be appointed by the president.

Washington, June 25 VP)

ed hope today that some relief
may be forthcoming for the vir
tually idle shipbuilding and re
pair Industry on the west const,

Iowa), has charged "incredible
mismanagement" of the commis-
ision. This set in motion an in
quiry that enters its fifth week
Tuesday. No hearing is sched
uled Monday because Hicken
looper will be in Iowa to attend
a republican meeting.
Price, a member of the com
miltee. charged in a statement
yesterday that the investigation
has taken up the time of "al
most every top official in the
commission" and "up to now it
may well be that this invesliga
tion has done more harm than
good."
He asked for a "halt."
McMahon replied that he had
stated the American people
were entitled to a full and fair
presentation of the evidence on
which Senator Hickenlooper
based his charges, and that the
commission was entitled to an
equal opportunity to reply." He
added:
"When we finish our work
which I hope will be as speedily
as possible the joint commit
tee must render l(s findings and
its report. I can see no other
satisfactory procedure."
Hickenlooper told reporters
than "apparently the investiga
tion is producing some results
that are making some people un
easy." Price got some support from
Rep. Henry M. Jackson (D.,
Wash.) Jackson repeated to
newsmen an earlier charge that
the hearing is a "carnival of
confusion."
"The accusations are ridicul
ous," he declared. "There is not
scintilla of evidence to prove
incredible mismanagement.".
But, like McMahon, he said
the commission must be given
a chance to reply.

first direct negotiations in five
weeks between management and
the International Longshore
men's and Warehousemen's

out tangible progress toward

side, with the union still demand
ing a wage increase of 32 cents
per hour or arbitration of its
demands. The employers refuse
to submit the dispute to arbitra

what different version of yes

had offered to retreat if em

rated them.
Most of the victims died in the
