teed him In on of tin most Im
portant Job In In world.
Llllenllial will quit M chairman
of tht atomic energy cnmmlaslon
December 31. Prealdent Truman an
nounced yeaterday that he waa ar
ceptlhf tht realwiallnn "rrlurtanlljr

tlia multi-billion dollar atomlo pro

N Idea'
Presidential Secretary Charlea O.
Ross told reporter! ha had no Idea
whom Truman would nama to tht
117.600 a year pott.
Lilienthal, a eontroveraisl figure
throtuhotit mot of hla 30 yeara of
publlo life and particularly In re
tent montha aa AKO chairman, iub
milled hla resignation November 31.
aylng ha wished to return to pri
vate life.
In a radio Interview last nliht.
he aild "there U only one time
. when a fellow can quit thla kind
f Job and lhat'i when It U going
well."
lie added that he thought the ee-erery-ahrouded
program had "come
long ways' In the three yean
he haa directed It. adding:
Hatlafleo"
-I will aay thla. and aay It with
out any qualifications I'm aatlafled
that a good beginning haa been
made.'
He may elaborate at a newt con
ference Monday.
Llllenthsl's reilgnatlon max not
totally unexpected. There have been
periodic reporta that he waa weary
of the pout and that he planned
to ttrp out once he fell he had
been cleared of the "Incredible mls
nieiiaaemenf chargea made agamat
him and the AKC by Senator Hlck
enlooner in-lowei.
A majority of the aensle-houae
atomlo committee reported lat
month that Ita hearlnga Into the
Hickenlooper chargea had been
"fruitless."
DUpnted
But minority report waa aub
mttted by republican committee
member headed by the Iowa sen
atorsharply dlaagreelng.
lllrkenlonper, former committee
halrman and now lu ranking re
publican member, recalled y enter
day that he had demanded Llllen
thal's resignation at the ouuet of
the tnveailsstlon last May.
"I look forward to a new atlmu
latlon In our atomlo program,' he
eald In a atatement laaued In Dea
Moines. Thle realgnatlon haa now
been submitted and that phaae of
j the matter la ended "
f- Senator MrMshnn D-Conn. Joint
committee chairman, expreaaed re
fret at "loalng a great publlo aerv
nt." He aald Lilienthal had headed
the eommlaalon ably.
One White Houae Intimate told a
reporter;
"Make no mlttake. the president
hate like htll to loae LUlenthal."
Llllenthal'a realgnaUon followed
by two mnnlha Trumana announce
ment of September 33 that there
had been an atomlo explosion in
Soviet Russia.
Quickened
Blnre that time the eommlaalon
haa embarked on an accelerated x
panalon program, the coat of which
la expected to exceed 1300.000.000.
Lilienthal made !t patently clear
In hla letter of realgnatlon that he
will have much to aay about the
atomlo program as a private eltl
gen. Lilienthal haa decried what he has
called the exceaalve etcrecy lur
rounding the enterprise.
He told Truman:
"Although thla resignation doea
bring my work aa a public servant
to a clone. It does not mean that
I do not Intend to continue to be
otlve In public affairs, for this Is
the first responsibility of all clllatna
In a democracy.
"Indeed one of my chief reason!
lor wianing to return lo private me
la that I may be able to engage
In publlo discussion and publlo af
fair! with a greater latitude than
la either fraslbel or aultabla for one
who carrlei ipeclfle publlo reaponsl.
bllltles."
Another reason, he made clear,
Is a financial one.
Llllenthal'a resignation was the
third from the commission within
a year. W. W. Waymark, former
editor of The Ilea Moines Ilex Inter
and Tribune, left In December, IMS
Vn. Robert Bacher realsnrd last
May.
Controversial
The AEO chairman, outspoken to
the point of blunlnras, haa been
pralaed as a great American and
a great administrator, and de
nounced aa "leftlah,' arrogant and
contemptuous of the wishes of con
grew. Ills publlo career haa been one
long feud with many congress
members dating back to TV A daya
when he Incurred the bitter en
mity of Senator MrKellar (D-Tenn),
now chairman of the senate appro
priations committee.
MrKellar commented at Memphis
that LUlenthal'! announced depar
ture waa "for the good of the
country.
It waa over the proteats of Mc
Keller and former Henator Stewart
(1-Tenn that Prenldent Truman re
appointed Lilienthal to a second
nine-year term aa TVA chairman
In IMS. It waa one of Truman'!
flrat appointments on succeeding
the lata Prealdent Rooaevelt.
Then In IMS, Truman, a personal
friend of LUlenthal, named him to
head the atomlo energy commission
when that agency took over the
atomic bomb enterprise from the
army. The commission waa set up
under the IMS atomic energy act.
Bitter right
Llllenthal'a confirmation In 1947
came after a bitter fight, on a M
to 31 senate vote.
In accepting the resignation. Tru
man, addressing Lilienthal as
"Dear Dave." wrote:
"You have Indeed, through al
most 30 consecutive years of public
service In tough pioneering Joba
slwsya under trrmendoua pressure
and often under deatrucllve criti
cismearned the right to return to
private life. . .
"Your reward. I believe, will be
In the consciousness of your coun
try's confidence In what you have
done and In the way you have done
If
The prealdent. who obviously hsd
discussed the matter with Lilien
thal prior to the letter of realgna
tlon, held the door open to retain
him should the need arlae.
He said he acted "In full confi
dence that should the exigencies or
the public Interest demand, you can
be prevailed upon to defer termina
tion of your service to a time when
your withdrawal will not upset plana
for dealing with problems which
may not have been determined by
the end of the year."
