Langer Attacks Rush On Dixon-Yates Action
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. William Langer (R.-N.D.) fumed today over the administration's decision to push for quick congressional approval of the Dixon-Yates power contract without considering its investigation.
He charged in a letter to Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy commission, that it is "highly improper" to complete the action on the contract while his anti- monopoly subcommittee is looking into it.
The subcommittee scheduled another hearing today. But it was clear the administration is determined to by-pass the inquiry in a drive to get the contract, approved quickly and removed, if possible, from the political arena.
The AEC yesterday asked the
KUDemocratsTold Of Precinct Work
Members of the Young Democrates club heard Rhoten A. Smith, instructor in political science, speak last night on precinct work and its importance in elections. Members volunteered afterwards for precinct work here in the Nov. 2 gubernatorial election.
Miss Camilla Klein, national vice president of the Young Democrat Clubs of America spoke briefly on "The Advantages of Being a Democrat."
Announcement was made of a semi-formal dance to be held in Topeka Friday, Oct. 22, for Young Democrats. It was also announced that the 2nd district convention will be held Friday at Garnett.
Senate-House Committee on Atomic Energy to waive a 30-day waiting period, required if Congress is in session, so the controversial contract can be put into effect quickly.
Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-N.Y.), the committee's chairman, notified members that hearings on the AEC request would begin next Wednesday under the temporary chairmanship of Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa).
The contract, now apparently approved but not yet signed, will permit the Dixon-Yates utility combine to build a steam plant at West Memphis, Ark., and sell 600-000 kilowatts of power annually to the Atomic Energy commission. The power would be delivered to the Tennessee Valley authority which would make power available elsewhere as a commission. Sponsored by the administration, the contract has been attacked by Corporate leaders from the Tennessee valley and other public power areas. They contend that the plan is a move to stymie the TVA and give rich profits to private power interests.
Rep. James E. Van Zandt (R-Pa.), a member of the Joint Atomic committee, said he hopes that group can approve the contract quickly—perhaps within a single day. He commented that the contract proposal was considered by the committee—and the Congress—during the last session and approved.

School Strike Crumbling As Officials Get Tough
Washington—(U.P.)-A four-day student strike against integration of Negroes and whites in capital schools appeared to be crumbling today in the face of a new "get tough" policy by school authorities.
A number of strikers said they would return to school rather than lose for a year the opportunity to play on school athletic teams, hold office in school clubs, or represent their schools in musical and dramatic performances.
That was the penalty laid down late yesterday by school Superintendent Hobart M. Corning for strikers who fail to report for classes by Friday morning. A number of strikers and non-strikers predicted it would bring most of the absentees back to class. But they agreed there would be some "diehards" who will refuse to come back by Friday.
Strikers at Anacostia High school, focal point of the demonstrations, yesterday defied an appeal by their principal to return to class. Of an enrollment of 1,250 at Anacostia, 700 were absent.
One of the absentees, Eddie Fortunato, said Mr. Corning's stern edict was "justified" because the
About 50 students staged a brief demonstration yesterday before the Supreme Court, which last spring handed down its anti-segregation decision. Lettered in red crayon on one of the steps leading up to the stately court building were the words: "We want our rights."
strike might lead to riots if it continued much longer. Fortunato said he believed most of the strikers would return to class.
