(International) Dixon-Yates Foes To Oppose Payment for Contract Cancellation r Washington U.R Senate opponents for the Dixon-Yates power contract today promised an all-out fight against payment of anv damages for the con tract's cancellation. Chairman Clintonr P. Aderson (D-NJU.) of the House-Senate Atomic Energy Committee said not one dollar" should be paid the Dixon-Yates utility combine lor the cancellation. Under, the contract, Dixon-Yates was' to build a S107.000.000 steam power plant at West Memphis, Ark., and transmit power into the government-owned Tennes see Valley Authority at mem phis, Tenn. Itttltmnl Feared . Anderson expressed fears that the Eisenhower administration might try to settle secretly with the Dixon-Yates group for "sev eral million dollars." To block such a settlement, Anderson insisted that the Atomic Energy Commission carry out the cancellation which President Eisenhower Monday directed that Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., handle. Anderson's committee has the authority by law to keep a close check on AEC actions. The AEC signed the Dixon- Yates contract for the govern- power going into the TVA sys tem at Memphis was to replace TVA electricity supplied to AEC installations elsewhere. Liberal Settlement The White House has indi cated that the Dixon-Yates group would be given as liberal a can cellation settlement as possible. A special Senate Monopoly Subcommittee investigating the Dixon-Yates contract has re quested Comptroller General Joseph Campbell to hold up any damage payments for cancella tion. The subcommittee, headed by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), advised Campbell that the con tract never bad become effec tive and therefore there was nothing to be cancelled. This opinion was based on a provision stating that the con tract would not be binding until financial arrangements had been approved by the Securities & Exchange Commission. The mat ter still' was pending before the ' SEC when the cancellation was announced. The Joint Atomic Committee sharply questioned AEC Chair man Lewis L. Strauss and AEC General Counsel William Mitch ell yesterday about the cancella tion. Mitchell gave an opinion that the contract became effective Sept 17,' 1954, and that the gov ernment is liable for cancella tion damages of an unspecified amount under the contract terms. , Sharply Criticised Anderson and other commit tee Democrats sharply criticized the AEC's position. Anderson charged the AEC had "rolled over and played dead" and is seeking "to give away" a settle ment without a trial. - Strauss also denied that he knew Adolphe H. Wenzell, vice president of the First Boston Corp. was a Budget Bureau con sultant in the Dixon-Yates con tract negotiations. The AEC chairman said he believed Wen zell at all times was represent ing the First Boston Corp. which later became the . Dixon-Yates financial agent in arranging loans of about $100,000,000. At the same time, Wenzell testified before the monopoly subcommittee that he had acted as a Budget Bureau consultant in all his conferences at the AEC. He had testified earlier that he signed the visitor's regis ter at the AEC as a First Boston official from force of habit Wenzell also testified that he had the impression that Strauss considered him a representative of the Budget Bureau.
