(CONGRESS TO GET PLEAS TO CHANGE ATOMIC SECURITY Senate-House Atomic Energy Unit Proposes to Make Some Suggestions SCIENTISTS OFFER IDEAS Possible Action Is Result of Barring Last Year of Dr. Oppenheimer WASHINGTON, 16 (P) Sen. Anderson (D-NM) said today the Senate Atomic Energy Committee may "make some suggestions" for changes in the atomic security program during this session of Congress.

Anderson, slated to be the" new chairman, said the committee probably will consider recommendations made by Los Alamos scientists after they had protested the barring of atomic scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer from receiving secret data. A special review board last June found Oppenheimer loyal but said he had associations that made it unwise to trust him with classified information. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) referred to "his persistent and continuing association with communists." To Study Recommendations Anderson said in an interview that the committee, after studying the scientists' recommendations, might make its own proposals to the AEC. Another member, Rep.

Patterson (R-Conn), called meanwhile for a tightened atomic security system and said he thought this could be done without jeopardizing the rights of individuals. Patterson "is the outgoing chairman of a subcommittee on security which reviewed the Oppenheimer case and other security matters last year. The heads of all AFC laboratories throughout the country will begin a two or three-day meeting here tomorrow to consider whether, security changes are necessary. Chairman Lewis L. Strauss has indicated the meeting grew out of the controversy over the Oppenheimer case.

Strauss told newsmen he thought the security program is okay now and said he had heard of "no radical new" proposals to change it. The Los Alamos Chapter of the Federation of American Scientists handed Strauss detailed recommendations last July while he was on an ico inspection laboratory. trip to the New Mex- Would Limit Disbarment In an accompanying statement, the 85 chapter members said the withholding of security clearance should be limited to cases involving "demonstratable" disloyalty, indiscretion, dishonesty or susceptibility to to The scientists said that "guilt by association" and "dissent" should not be causes for denying security clearance. They said indiyiduals should have the right to use moral as well as technical ideas in deciding technical questions. Supporters of Oppenheimer contend these three, points figured prominently in the decision to bar him from further atomic' work for the government.

A spokesman for the Scientists' National Federation said the organization's council has not yet voted on whether to endorse the Los Alamos proposal but may take a position soon. The federation, representing 1,500 scientists, has called for a thorough review of the security program by a presidential commission or a high-level board.

He was taken to the hospital suffering from pneumonia last month but on New Year's Day, when he was wheeled out for a birthday interview, he appeared as spry and chipper as ever. For years Charlie has repeated stories about his early days in the Wild West and how he rode for the pony express at the age He claimed he worked on one of the relays between St. Joseph, and San Francisco for about a year. Charlie also told of traveling with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, breaking wild horses and "fighting in any war he could get into. His stories brought him a measure of fame and while he was in the hospital, he would receive from 20 to 50 letters a day from all over the country.

Most of these were addressed to "Bronco Charlie" but some were sent merely to "The Last of the Pony Express Riders." Before he. became sick, Charlie had been busy making wooden models of Indians, stage coaches and covered wagons for a hobby show.

McCarthy (R-Wis) was accused of violating twice during floor debate last Friday, may be in for a little tougher enforcement.

Although there was no evidence of concerted action, several Senators said they will back up "the public assertion of Sen. Kuchel (R-Calif) that he, for one, intends to see to it that "debate is conducted in accordance with the rules of decency." Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican leader, said he expects stricter enforcement of the rules, and Sen. Sparkman (D'-Ala) said he does too. Sen.

Mundt (R-SD), who Voted with Knowland against censuring McCarthy last Dec. 2 for unbecoming conduct, said he hopes the rules will be applied impartially. Been Soft on. Rule 19 In the past, the Senate has not often enforced its Rule 19 which says that in deb no member shall "directly indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming to a Senator." Sen. Long (D-La), presiding in the absence of Vice President Nixon Friday, ordered McCarthy to take his seat when Long said the Wisconsin Senator had implied sincerity" on the part of colleagues who signed an anti-Communist resolution, and again when McCarthy said they were trying "to remove the stench from their hands and the mud from their skirts." This wasn't, by far, AS strong language as some.

Senators have used in the past about their colleagues without being silenced. But the 67-22 vote by which the Senate condemned McCarthy last month for alleged contemptuous treatment of a Senate subcommittee and statements about his colleagues appears to have brought about some changes.

16 (P) -Sen. Byrd (D-Va) said today he will fight to end foreign economic. aid next July 1 except for a "reasonable amount" of technical assistance to underdeveloped countries. Byrd, new chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said in an interview he thinks the time has come to stop the assistance program which began under the Marshall Plan in 1947. "After spending 40 billion dollars, all of which were borrowed, we have done enough," he said.

Congress already has called for abolition of the Foreign Operations Administration (FOA) next July the expectation that the technical assistance program would be transferred to the State Department and military aid to the Defense Department. Byrd said he doesn't oppose continuation of help to some foreign countries to develop their resources and industries so long as it is done on a "reasonable scale." He said that in addition to opposing further dollar aid, he will move to bring under the federal budget the millions of dollars he said had been piled up in foreign countries abroad in counterpart funds. These represent payments by foreign governments in their own currency for some of the supplies shipped them from America. Byrd said that as far as he can learn there is virtually no accounting of how these funds are spent. He noted that in many instances they have been used to entertain Senators and Congressmen visiting abroad.

The Virginia Senator got Senate approval of such an amendment last year but it was knocked out of a foreign aid bill in conference with the House. Sen. Sparkman a member of the Senate Foreign. Relations Committee, said he agrees with Byrd that direct dollar aid can be brought to a virtual halt. President of Nicaragua Assails U.S., OAS for Sending Planes to Costa Rica MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan.

161 (AP) President Anastasio Somoza said today the United States and the Organization of American States (OAS) made a "big mistake" sending five planes to Costa Rica. In' an interview he said he was urgently asking Washington to fly an equal number of planes to Ni caragua. Somoza said the flight of four P51 fighter planes and a C54 transport to his neighbor posed 8 threat to Nicaragua. "We have no air defense and you never know what Figures (President of Costa Rica) is going to do next," he declared. He said sending the planes to Costa Rica was "putting a dangerous toy in a crazy man's: hands.

THe U.S. and the OAS may regret doing that." Somoza said he had instructed his ambassador in Washington to see the State Department and request the immediate airli of four P51's and one C-54 to Nicaragua to match those sent to Costa Rica. Craft Being Rushed to San Jose; Commission. Is Pushing Its Probe. WASHINGTON, Jan.

16 (P) Costa Rica, authorized by 'the Organization of American States (OAS) to buy four fighter planes from the United States, appealed tonight for "further and more effective help." Fernando Fournier, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of Costa told reporters he understood the United States sold the planes to his country for one dollar each. He said the planes were leaving San Antonio, today for Costa Rica. Appeals for More Help Fournier made his appeal for more help at another emergency session of the OAS Council which began at 5:20 p.m. (EST), "Costa Rica is grateful for the measures taken by the OAS to help us but in some cases these measures have been on a minimum basis" Fournier told the council. "I think the time has come for the council to face the situation fully, squarely and completely since the eyes of the world are on us and on the measures which our inter-American system may accomplish.

to end the aggression of which my poor and defenseless country is a victim." Costa Rica has charged neighboring Nicaragua with fomenting a revolt south of the Nicaraguan border. The State Department first announced that a 054 transport would be delivered to Costa Rica together with four' propeller-driven F51D's new designation for the World War II P51 Mustangs, But spokesmen for the 'State Department and Air said later the cargo plane is being sent along only to carry spare parts and return U.S. pilots ferrying the fighters to San Jose. The OAS Council approved U.S. offer to sell the planes to Costa Rica at a five-hour meeting that broke up after dawn this morning.

Reports Planes En Route. Adding to confusion at a time when the U.S. planes were reported still awaiting customs clearance in San Antonio, Henry S. Holland, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter- Affairs, told a television audience that they were already en route to Costa Rica, and Fournier said they "may be in action now with Costa Rican pilots at the controls." Holland, interviewed on the ABC-' TV- program "College Press Conference," said the OAS Council acted after a P47 from outside Costa Rica came in and strafed targets in that country. Before that, he said, the "rebel" forces were found by an OAS investigating commission to have two AT 6 trainer planes and one DC 3 cargo plane.

Holland said the council still had not decided whether the Costa Rican uprising was by a revolutionary force or by forces from another nation. He said that in the ground action centered in Northwest Costa Rica there were 10,000 Costa Rican troops deployed against 800 "rebels." Holland said on the TV program that the United States had provided all assistance requested by the OAS and said any future aid would "be channeled through that organization, based on its recommendations. He would not speculate on what future aid this country may be asked to supply. Commission Reports The five-man investigation commission reported to tonight's OAS council meeting that: 1. Attacking planes which "came into Costa Rican territory from abroad are in undisputed control of the air in the areas of combat.

"2, The observation mission of our planes continues' in various zones. "3. Two military observers of the commission were sent today to Liberia." This is a Costa Rican town where fighting has occurred from time to time. "4.

By agreement with the government of Nicaragua with which we' have maintained constant, contact the commission will leave early tomorrow for Managua." The government of Nicaragua has been insisting that the commission come to Managua immedilately, At tonight's council session Nica(ragua's Ambassador Guillermo Sevilla Sacase said "the commission should go to Managua without delay as we have requested repeatedly since it is an international concept of justice that no man can be accused without being given the right to a The State, Department said the fighter planes being flown to Costa Rica were expected to stop for rereling somewhere en route, possibly at Santa Cruz or Mexico City. heavily including John last Soviet Larry tonight son fog.

He also criticized the mission for a report before coming to Nicaragua to "hear the other The President denied any intervention in Costa Rica and declared the revolution is "one hundred per Costa Rican and. inside the country."

The President said he was ready to show the OAS mission "documents linking Figures with Communism. A lot of things will come out before this is over," he added.

Foreign Minister Oscar Sevilla Sacasa also said he wants the OAS mission to come here at once and see for itself that Nicaragua is not intervening in Costa Rica.
