PAGE TEW. THE DAILY NEWS, HUNTINGDON AND MOUNT UNION, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1954. CREW PEARSON OH WASHINGTON (Continueci from First Page) discoveries make it appear that the Army engineers arc hand in glove with Klcclrie Bond antl Share, I hi- big holding company which is behind the Dixon-Yates contract. llolifield also pointed up the fact that the Atomic Energy Commission is. dominaied by military men.

though Congress carefully passed a law providing for civilian control of the atom. What Holifield discovered was a letter from Maj. Gen. B. L.

Robinson of the Army Engineers to another general. Kenneth Nichols, manager of the Atomic Energy Commission. It "Dear Ken your information, herewith is copy of a letter from Johnny Harclin verifying his position with to the location of the Dixon-Yales steam plant." The letter was signed, "Robby." General Robinson enclosed another letter from Gen. John Har- clin, also of the Army engineers, who had written (Robinson) about meeting with "representatives of EBASCO" (Electric Bond and Share) on a proposed site for the plant near West Memphis, Tenn. Then General Hardin added some interesting intelligence in a postscript: "They (EBASCO representatives)," he said, "seemed pleased with the conference.

We aimed to be helpful, rather than obstructive." While Republican Committee members fidgeted. Congressman Holifield pressed General Nichols for an explanation thai unusual language. He maintained that the Army Engineers should have been neutral, rather then either or "obstructive." "Obstructive" General Nichols, however, hedged: "I do not know the meaning of that." Holifield was not satisfied. "When read this letter," he said, "I wondered about the postscript, because it so happens that I was chairman of the Military Housing Subcommittee in Alaska when General Hardin was in the Pentagon, and the particulars I received from General Hardin and the difficulty 1 had then indicated to me that he must have looked upon my inquiry with a little bit different, opinion than he did yours. "I attach special significance to this." continued Holifield, "and think that in the future, if I have to deal with Johnny, I will, come to Ken and ask Ken to give me a letter." The humor was lost completely on Gen.

"Ken" Nichols. "I would be pleased to do that, Sir." he replied stiffly. "As I look at this (the Dixon- Yates contract)" continued Holifield, "1 could almost believe that it is a military operation. We have General Johnny and General Robby and Colonel Mltchum and General Kenneth. And we have the commander-in-chief, General Eisenhower, r.nd Admiral Strauss (chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission).

"So it looks like a military operation, and I wonder if the coopW- 'ation had anything to do with the conception of the line of command." By this time, even Republican committee colleagues were laughing. But General Nichols just didn't think there was anything funny about it at all. giant Electric Bond and Share Corporation, which the Army Engineers seemed to favor, was investigated by Hugo Black before he left the Senate for the Supreme Court and was one reason for passage of the Holding Corporation Act to disband the big holding companies and grip on local utilities. The Dixoa-Yates investigation has shown that Electric Bond and Share still dominates local utilities in the South, despite the Holding Corporation Act. Outside Interference Undersecretary of Agriculture True D.

Morse is sorry he let himself be talked into campaigning against fiery Democrat Wayne Hays, congressman from Ohio's 14th district. Safely re-elected, Hays phoned Morse last week and sarcastically told him: "I'm sorry I wasn't around to return the greeting when you came to say hello last month, but I was busy campaigning." Morse was duly embarrassed and mumbled something about "nothing personal." "I thought you'd like to know," Hays continued, "that this was the first election in which I carried the county where you spoke. Before, it had always gone Republican. "You're welcome any time you -want to visit," Hays concluded cheerily. NOTE Ironically, Undersecre- tary Morse didn't want to get mixed up in the Ohio campaign and did so only after much urging from GOP chairman Len Hall.
