One discordant note and a loud was sounded by Rep. Cole (Ralso a member of the Joint Atomic Committee. He said in a ristling statement: Cole Disapproves "For my part I do not approve he decision, both because it is usurption of Congressional authority and because the decision itself is contrary to the recommendations of our country's most competent authorities. This epochal decision goes beyond the sbcurity of the United States; the security of mankind is also at stake." Cole, a World War Navy veteran, would up his blast by saying "the President's decision indicates that once more he has muffed the ball." Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) said that Mr. Truman was within his executive authority In ordering the AKC to proceed with the bomb.

But, he added, the final decision on whether the bomb will be made is up to Congress for Congress must, in the final analysis, provide the money.

McDeyitt, state AFL president told delegates, "and in order to forstall such a levy it is imperative that you find out from the candidates just where they stand on the issue." The League also voted to stay out' of the Pennsylvania primary campaign, and instead concentrate its influence for the general election next November.

The Missouri has been anchored in Chesapeake Bay, near the mouth of Hampton Roads, awaiting her tow to dryd'ock.

As she slipped afloat sternward orders were given to take soundings along the half mile of water back to the safe deep channel. Dredges had been working to clear a path for her. Navy men afloat and ashore greeted the news with whoops. Onee more the Missouri was the fleets pride instead of a thorn in the fleet's side. It was a perfect "bon voyage" pres'ent for Admiral W.

Three destroyers standing by to race around and create artificial swells were not used. The battleship began to swing without forward movement about 6 a- when four tugs paired on opposite sides of the bow and four others did the same at the stern.

traders argued for nearly an hour this morning before they could agree on a price to pay for U. Steel Corp. common stock.

There was general expectation that Judge Keech would delay any ruling for a day or so at least.
