Ike Asks That Use Of Atom Increase
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower asked Congress today to unshackle the atom for defense of the free world and for industrial developments at home and abroad which will lead "mankind into a new era of progress and peace."
In a special 3,700-word message he asked the House and Senate for 13 amendments to the Atomic Energy Act which would enable this country to:
1. Give America's allies information on battlefield uses of atomic weapons and defense against atomic attack. He did not ask sharing of information on strategic use of A-bombs or hydrogen weapons.
3. Permit private U.S. industry at home and abroad, to exploit the atom's tremendous store of energy for power. Mr. Eisenhower said private industry should be permitted to own and operate atomic plants, buy or lease atomic fuels from the government, manufacture such materials, and obtain patents.
2. Give friendly nations information on peacetime atomic developments, including power, and transfer to them atomic fuels needed for such developments.
4. Transfer responsibility for control of secret atomic weapons information from the AEC to the defense department, remove some weapons from the "restricted data" category, and permit—with joint AEC and defense department sanction—publication of such weapons information as can be released without hurting national security.
5. Relax certain personnel security rules to do away with "costly" and "unnecessary" clearance of persons such as unskilled laborers who have no or only limited access to restricted data.
Mr. Eisenhower said the Atomic Energy Law began to be outmoded in some of its restrictions almost from the time it was enacted in 1946.
Each year since then, he said has seen atomic advances "exceeding even progressive estimates." And, he noted, in 1949 the U.S. monopoly of atomic weapons was destroyed by the first Soviet A-bomb test.
The President said the eight years since the law was enacted have seen:
1. Production of "a wide variety of weapons" which "have today achieved conventional status in the arsenals of our armed forces."
2. Development of the thermonuclear weapon (H-bomb) which "today dwarfs in destructive power all atomic weapons."
4. Advances in machines for harnessing the atom which brings "economic industrial power from energy sources," clearly in light of energy.
3. The launching of an atomic submarine (Jan. 21) which made it certain that the use of atomic energy will ultimately become widespread."
The President made it clear that in freeing the atom for defense and power all essential security safeguards must be maintained. But he said the time which has come to remove restrictions which "impede the proper exploitation of nuclear energy for the benefit of the American people and of our friends throughout the world."
Although he proposed 13 amendments in all, a number of them deal with related matters so that they condense to the five main objectives listed.
Their total purpose, Mr. Eisen-hower said, is to "help make it possible for American atomic energy development, public and private, to play a full and effective part in leading mankind into a new era of progress and peace."

The first anniversary of German lessons in Pinckney grade school was celebrated by a radio program given over KLWN at 8:30 a.m. Friday. For thirty minutes children in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades sang and talked in German, assisted by Prof. and Mrs. George Kreye. The children are now sacrificing their play time to learn it. The idea of giving children German lessons is to start slowly and continue over a period of several years. In this way they get a more thorough knowledge of the language.
Officers to Say If'Confession Merits Penalty
Washington—(U.R.)—Fellow officers of a Marine colonel who "confessed" under Red pressure to Communist germ warfare charges in Korea were called today in a fact-finding study to determine whether he should be punished.
The court of inquiry into the case of Col. Frank H. Swable, Marine flier, may set the pattern for similar "confession" cases.
Col. Schwable was chief of staff of the First Marine air wing when he was shot down and captured July 8, 1952. After his repatriation, last September, he repudiated the "confession" and said the Communists wring it from him under duress.
Lt. Col. Kenneth E. Murphy, court counsel, set the stage with a length introduction of documents and records, some of them classified, and by showing an hour-long Communist movie intended to prove the Red charge that American troops waged germ warfare in Korea.
At his trial, Col. Schwable sat impassive through the tedious preiminaries while his wife emoidered.
J. H. Hatch, Kansas City businessman, will speak at the KU chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Fowler shops building.

Besides practical experience in labor-management negotiations, Mr. Hatch has participated in panel discussions of labor problems.

BrickerAmendmentTest Set by GOP Leaders
Washington—(U.P.)—Senate Republican leaders today scheduled the most important test vote so far on their proposed substitute for Sen. John W. Bricker's treaty-restricting amendment.
The preliminary vote, when the leaders hope to reach by nightfall, may provide the first clear indication that he must be mustered for any of the proposals before the Senate to curb Presidential treaty-making powers.
will interview here Feb.18
The Senate yesterday approved,
72-16, a second part of the Know-
l.
The vote was scheduled on the most important feature of the Republican-sponsored amendment for Bricker's original proposal. It would change Article VI of the Constitution to provide that no treaty can become supreme law of the land "unless made in pursuance of this Constitution."
Sen. Wayne Morse (L-ore.) charged that this proposal might provide a "backdoor for attempts to get the United States out of the United Nations" and the World Court. He said it could also prevent U.S. participation in any world plan for effective control of atomic energy.
Senate GOP Leader William F. Knowland (R-Calif.) and Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.), sponsors of the substitute, said they still hoped to get a final action on the treaty fight this week. Final approval of a change in the Constitution would require a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate and ratification by three-fourths of the states.
Bricker (R.-Ohio), whose original proposal touched off the "great debate" over Presidential treaty powers, said he and Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.), author of a Democratic subtitle were close to becoming "on possible last-minute compromise. But he said no agreement had been reached.
land-Ferguson substitute to require roll call votes by the Senate in ratification of treaties. A third provision-approved Monday-specifies that no treaty or international agreement can be effective if it conflicts with the Constitution.
Otherwise, he said, the Senate "would leave language in Article VI which says treaty law is the supreme law of the land if made under the authority of the United States." He says that should be clarified by specifying that only treaties "in pursuance of" the Constitution should become supreme law.
