Maj. Gen. Alden H. Waitt, chief
of the Army’s chemical warfare
service, estimated in testimony
last week that 10 or 12 soldiers
were killed by premature shell-
bursts, but he didn’t think it was
possible to pin the blame on any
one manufacturer. A later report
advised the number of casualties
upward to 29 killed and 83 in-
jured.

(ZP) — A suit was filed in federal

they know who will be governor
already.”

WASHINGTON, August 2 (IP)
—President Truman vetoed the
so-called “tidelands oil bill”
Thursday, declaring that the
question whether the nation or
the states own the lands should be
decided by the Supreme Court,
and not by Congress.
The bill would have renounced
any federal claim to certain oil-
rich lands, principally lands be-
tween the low tide mark and the
three-mile limit.
"The ownership of the vast
quantity of oil in such areas pre-
sents a vital problem for the na-
tion from the standpoint of na-
tional defense and conservation,”
Mr. Truman wrote.
“If the United States owns these
areas, they should not be given
away. If the Supreme Court de-
cides that the United States has
no title to or interest in the lands,
a quit-claim from the Congress is
unnecessary.”
As the clerk started to read the
veto message in the House, where which resulted in the deaths
the bill originated, administration
leaders interrupted to gain a post-
ponement until Friday.

California, the measure’s author,

WASHINGTON, August 2
—Legislation setting up the ma-
chinery for civilian control of
domestic development of atomic
energy became law Thursday
night with President Truman’s
signature.
The law:
(1) Creates a five-member all-
civilian commission for overall
control, with a general manager
handling the commission’s admin-
istrative work, (2) sets up four
divisions to work with the com-
mission, (3) gives the govern-
ment a virtual monopoly on in-
ventions and patents in the field
of atomic energy, and (4) pro-
vides the death penalty for major
violations with intent to injure
the United States.
The commission members and
the general manager will be ap- (
pointed by the president, subject
to Senate confirmation. The mem-
bers and the general manager will
be paid $15,000 a year, with the
chairman receiving $17,500.

nounce the commission member-

Affairs committee of the club
and was introduced by Hol-
man Lilienstern. The speakers
were Dillard Rolston, mayor of
Pittsburg, and T. S. Stokes, re-
cently named manager of that
city.
Subjects of discussion centered
around the adaptability of a
council-manager form of govern-
ment for Mt. Pleasant, and as
that type of system was installed
in Pittsburg some months ago,
Mr. Rolston and Mr. Stokes were
in a position to outline benefits
that have resulted in favor of
Pittsburg.
One of the outstanding bene-
fits, the men stated, is the fact
that under the council-manager
supervision Xie manager is in a
position to give his full time to
his job; whereas, under the may-
or-council form, the mayor and
aidermen usually devote only
their spare time from their regu-
lar business to the operation of
the city.
Also, it was pointed out, under
the manager type of government
all officials of the city, with the
exception of the mayor and ai-
dermen, are appointed and do
not owe their jobs to politics.
Since Pittsburg has accepted
the new system for their city
many improvements have been
made, the men said.
