planed."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-UP—
The Senate anti monopoly subcom-
mittee is drafting a sharply worded
report criticising Eisenhower ad-
ministration’s power policy, it was
learned Thursday.
Informed sources said the report Cclanese
probably will not be made public Celotex
until the start of the new Demo-
cratic-c 0 n t r 0 11 e d Congress,
although its present chairman, Re-
publican Sen. William Langer
(N.D.) has publicly rapped the ad-
ministration's power policies and
Dixon-Yates contract.
The report Is expected to add
force to the drive for a congres-
sional investigation of the Dixon-
Yates controversy, the utility com-
panies, and power policy and mo-
nopolistic practices in general.
Senate Democratic leader Lyn-
Johnson (Tex.), for one,

should be exposed to the glare of

cation that he favors an inquiry by
the Senate-House Atomic Energy
committee which will be headed by
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-
N.M.).
One of the leading opponents of
the Dixon-Yates deal said Thurs-
day, however, that the contract
involving the Atomic Energy Com-
mission is just 'part of the broader
problem."
'I think the whole trend (toward
monopoly) is due for study,” said
Son. Estes Kefnuver (D-Tenn.).

Bedding snd tnweK etc., from a sick-
room should be laundered in very hot

lem,” Kefauver said. Ho added
that there has been some talk of a
special committee to look into anti-
monopoly matters including the
Dixon-Yates contract and the oper-
ations of utility companies.
“I will use every honorable
means that I can to stop the Dixon-
Yates contract,” Kefaut'er said.
The Dixon-Yates contract is sure
to figure prominently in the report
of the anti-monopoly subcommittee
now in preparation. The subcom-
mittee conducted a series of hear-
ings on the contract and twice
asked that the government defer
signing it until Congress could take
a better look.
Under the contract the Dixon-
Yates utility group—Middle South
Utilities Inc. and the Southern
Corp.—will spend some 3107 mil-
lion . to build a steam generating
plant at West Memphis. Ark., and
sell power to the Atomic Energy
Commission. Power will be deliv-
ered to the TVA at Memphis to
‘replace’’ power delivered by TVA
to AEC installations.

Repel Attack
By 'Enemy'
Editor's Nofe : Murray Mo-
lar, was on the first "penetra-
tion” flight by a news corre-
spondent through the radar
network guarding the United
States - Canadian border. His
dispatch on the Bight, made
on Dec. 17 and cleared by the
Air Force, follows.
By MURRAY MOLER
United Press Staff Correspondent
The thing that made it realistic
was that the boys in the armed jets
didn’t know we were coming or
who we were.
We tried to "sneak" into the
United States from Canada just be-
fore sunset in an Air Force B-29
aptly code-named "Wanderlust."
It was a route enemy bombers
most likely would take In attack-
ing over the North Pole.
Radar stations along the border
nailed us promptly and within sec-
onds the call to ‘scramble” was
sounded to fighter pilots at the
Great Falls Air Force Base about
100 miles south of the border.
The treeless stripe marking the
international boundary was still
clearly In sight from our 17.000
foot altitude when an F 94 Starftre
all-weather interceptor caught us.
The jet's guns and rocket pods
were loaded and ready for action.
For a few uncomfortable sec-
onds we were—In the jet pilot's
eyes—a strange and unreported
aircraft bearing down on the
United States from the north.
SvSGT. James Davison of Sap
Francisco, "scatfner” In our light
waist blister, spotted the Starfire
and called it to the attention of
Mai. James Gerwick of Toledo, the
B-29 flight commanding officer.
Gerwick quickly gave the proner
identification and response as the
fighter challenged us. The Starfire

When our B-9 left the Hill Air

was filed with the Civil Aeronau-

not given to the continental de-

Half the flights were at night or

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-UP-
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said
Thursday draft rules will not be
changed as a result of reduced
monthly calls but that registrants
{undoubtedly will find it a little
easier to win deferments.

are -not deferred,
Other experts in Hershey’s of-
fice said in some areas the delay
already is running about three
years from the time a man regis-
ters at age 18, and that under the
reduced calls it may go as high
as four. They said this could mean
that some young men may finish wn
college without ever seeking defer- "
men! . ■
Hershey said some few regis-
trants might escape the draft al-
together, although he does not
think this likely.
Another inevitable result of the
cutback, Hershey told a reporter,
is that rejections for physical rea-
sons will rise, as the services get
more selective. About 33 per cent
of all registrants already are being
classed as unfit.
(The whole picture of course
would be changed if Congress
enacted the administration’s pro-
posed new modified universal mil-
itary training plan. This would
take an extra 100.000 men yearly,
taking up much of the slack.)
Men register at 18 and are sub-
ject to induction after 18 1-2 and
through 25. Oldest of the men
classed 1-A at any given time go
first. During the Korean war, calls
most
were hitting the 19-year-olds. Now

right wing of his own Republican
party.
It could be that he will have
serious trouble with both. If so, Mr.
Eisenhower will be a bruised and
angry man before the end of the
congressional session which begins
next Jan. 5.
Teamed, the right wingers of his
party and the vote-minded
Democratic opposition could give
the President such a drubbing as
none has taken since 1931-32 when
Congress undertook to make Her-
bert Hoover the goat for all the
ills since creation.
Mr. Eisenhower has a hole card,
however, which Hoover did not
have when the 72nd Congress con-
vened mid-\yay in his White House
term. His card is the ace of pros-
perity.
The first thing. Mr. Eisenhower
did after his party was licked in
last November’s election was to
take back some of the hard things
he had said about the Democrats.
He followed up with friendlier ges-
tures, including conferences and a
pledge that. Republican Cabinet of-
ficers would confer with the Demo-,
cratic leadership before fixing cer-
ta<p policy targets next year.
Moreover, . the President ham-
mers away at his favorite political
theme—that the Republican party
must be a party of moderate-
minded men and women, consider-
ably to the left of the old-line Re-
publican leadership symbolized by
such men as the late Robert A.
Taft, SDeaker Joseph W. Martin
Jr., and perhaps, Senate Republi-
can leader William F. Knowland.
There Is small comfort for the
conservative elements of the Re-
publican party in Mr. Eisenhower's
determined effort to shape up a
1955 legislative program with
which a considerable number of
Democrats might go along. Repub-
lican conservatives llkelv will be
the first to bolt the administration
program when it comes to Con-
gress.
The President can get along with-
out them provided a substantial
number of Democrats stay hitched.
But the Democrats are up against
the political facts of life. These in-
clude the facf that the Democrats
will need in 1956 a program of their
own about which to brag in urging
voters to return a Democrat to the
White House.
