The second meeting appeared to
havt eased misgivings of tome law
maker that the president might act
on his own to give Britain some
A-bomb secrets.
They said, alter another top-level,

press for a move to keep the presi
dent from acting by executive order
in ihl field.
There hsd been talk of putting at
least the senate on formal record as
saying that tht atomic energy law
forbids tht supplying of atomic se
crets to any foreign power unless
congress approvea. Apparently, they
now art satisfied that Mr. Truman
plans no by-passing of congress at

However, the atomic question Mill
was a warm one. Senator Wherry

try to find out what role. If any,
