Strauss Says A-Work Unhurt by Controversy
Washington—(U.P.)—Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy commission testified today the atomic weapons program is expanding at an unprecedented rate and has not been hurt by the Dixon-Yates controversy.
Testifying before the Congressional Atomic Energy committee on the controversial power contract signed yesterday, Strauss was asked about the effect of the issue on the weapons program.
But, as always, he said, he could not give production figures on weapons.
"There has never been a degree of expansion in our production comparable to that which we are presently enjoying," he said.
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.), an outspoken critic of the Dixon-Yates contract, raised the question of whether the controversy has affected the weapons program.
"In my opinion it has not," Mr Strauss said, and added that a "misleading impression" to that effect has been conveyed to the public.
Sen. Anderson, who commented that he is a frequent visitor to the atomic installation at Los Alamos in his home state, indicated that he shared Mr. Strauss' view that the weapons work of the commission has not been impaired.
Mr. Strauss told the committee that commission minutes of meetings since Jan. 1 record discussion of 889 items. Of that total, he said, the Dixon-Yates contract accounts for 25- "Something less than 3 per cent."
He brushed aside the idea that the commission members' time has been "monopolized" by the Dixon-Yates affair. He said, "some of us who work 60 hours a week have put in 70 or 75" to indicate that time has not been taken from other matters. Democrats have served notice they intend to quash the contract if at all possible.

A record travel distance will be set by the students this year. "The 1954 trip is an attempt to show the great diversity existing in Kansas by taking the students into the western towns," said Donald K. Alderson, dean of men.
The trip will include visits to points of interest. The foreign students will give programs and show displays in high schools and grade schools in each community visited. They will attend classes in Goodland and will take part in discussions and give short talks.

Hagerty Scoffs at Report Ike Has Promised to Run
Toledo, Ohio — (U.P.)— White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said today a report that President Eisenhower had promised Republican leaders to run again in 1956 is "a lot of nonsense."
Mr. Hagerty made the comment when told a story of that nature was appearing today in the Akron, Ohio, Beacon-Journal.
At the same time, Mr. Hagerty described as "a lot of nonsense" another report that U.N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge is slated to replace Sherman Adams as top assistant to the President in the near future.
future.
Mr. Hagerty met with reporters while President Eisenhower was secluded at a private club as a duck-hunting guest of Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey about 14 miles from downtown Toledo.
The Akron story was to the effect that Mr. Eisenhower had promised high Republican leaders in a secret huddle that he will run for re-election in 1956.
It also said he promised to "re-shuffle" the White House staff to bring in men with more political savvy.
"It's a lot of nonsense." Mr. Hagerty said with finality.
The story that Mr. Adams will be replaced by Mr. Lodge in the key White House post was attributed to Rep. Joseph L. Carriage (R.-Fa.),
Rep. Joseph L. Carson
Mr. Adams has been under fire
from some old-line Republicans who
believe that the former New Hampshire governor hasn't given politics enough consideration.
"the President has complete faith and trust in Sherman Adams," Mr. Hagerty said. "The story is a lot of nonsense."
noisesse. H. Magery reported that Mr. Eisenhower and his cabinet-member host were out in a duck blind, at the secluded Cedar Point club on Lake Erie. The press secretary had no information, at mid-morning, how well the hunters were doing.
The day was chilly, bright and clear-perhaps a little too calm for the best duck shooting.
The outing was the President's first chance to go duck hunting since he entered the White House 23 months ago.
Better taste Luckies.. LUCKIES TASTE BETTER
CLEANER, FRESHER, SMOOTHER!
COLLEGE SMOKERS PREFER Luckies—and by a wide margin—according to the largest and latest coast-to-coast college survey. Once again, the No.1 reason: Luckies taste better. They taste better because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better. "It's Toasted"—the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better. The pleasure you'll get from Luckies' better taste is vividly depicted in the Droodle above, titled: Modern artist enjoying Lucky while glancing in mirror. See the ecstatic smile? Well, you, too, can be happy. Just go Lucky!
"IT'S TOASTED" to taste better!
