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.

distance swimmer Florence
Chadwick to postpone the sea
son's first attempt to swim the

we heard the fog was very thick
on the French coast and wasn't
showing any sign of lifting," she
said. "There was a chance the
boats might have missed me on
the other side. 1 am terribly dis
appointed. Everything seemed
