BROWN Member of Congress For the past ten days the Military Affairs Committee o f the House has been holding secret sessions on' pro­ posed legislation for the control of the atomic bomb and the production of atomic energy, while a Senate Com­ mittee has been holding open sessions on the same subjects. Scientists have told the Senators the secret of atomic power cannot. be kept, but will un­ doubtedly become known to other na­ tions, including Russia, from within two to five years. According to .the grapevine, the Administration spon­ sored legislation, now being considered in the secret sessions of the House Committee provides for the naming of either a commission or a single admin istrator, with dictatorial powers, to control the atomic bomb and’ produc­ tion of atomic energy, and to have the authority to decide whether the secret shall be shared with others. In fact, the proposed legislation is said to grant such absolute power to the ad­ ministrator or commission that many members of the committee are object­ ing strenuously, and are attempting to write restrictions into the measure. At the present time it is evident a a majority o f the Congress is oppos­ ed, to turning the atomic secret over to other nations. While most scientists argue there is no defense against, the atomic bomb, one group insist they have found such a defense; and it is understood Navy experts have advised members of the Naval Affairs . Committee of the House there is every indication a com­ plete defense against the atom bomb may be fully developed within a short time. According to reports, it is even now possible to explode atom bombs by radio waves at distances as much as four miles While some public fig ­ ures, including Secretary of Com­ merce Henry Wallace, have almost reached a state of hysteria ov­ er the danger of atomic bombsj there ore others who’ point out all through World War II it was- possible, at any time,.to virtually destroy all life in any large city by the use of poison gas, but that all nations failed or re­ fused to use it, simply because the 'game gas could have been used again­ st their cities and civilian population; and that same situation may well de­ velop in connection with the possible future use of the atomic bombs For the first time in nearly sixteen years—or since the coming of the New Heal,, legislation reducing taxes has been approved by the. House. Last House cut individual and corporation Thursday, by a vote of 343 to. 10, the income taxes, and excise tax rates, for the year of 1946, by a total o f five billion three hundred million dollars The new tax bill, as explained in a more detailed way in our last letter, strikes 12 million low income individ­ uals completely o ff the tax rolls, and reduces individual income taxes on others by four per centage points in each bracket, while making a similar reduction in all brackets on corpora­ tion income tax rates, and dropping excess profits taxes to sixty percent. The bill also provides for the reduc­ tion or elimination pf excise taxes as of July 1st next, freezes Social Secur­ ity taxes at the rate of one percent each on employer and employee, wipes out the five dollar automobile Use tax on June 30thr and repeals the capital stock tax on corporations The new tax bill was designed only to give tem- pefary relief for the year 1946, as the Ways and Means Committee of the House will start hearings in January on mote permanant legislation to completely revamp the General Rev­ enue A ct and the Federal tax struc­ ture set up thereunder. The nation’s strike situation is be­ coming more alarming As this is written there is grave danger of a na­ tion-wide coal strike which weald practically wreck tlie reconversion program. Telephone and transporta­ tion strikes also threaten. Congress starids ready and Willing to enact any legislation which may be requested by the Administration to meet the situ­ ation. Recent action o f the Fayette County Selective Service Board, at Washington, C JH., in refusing to or­ der up more young men from the farms and rural communities for in­ duction until and unless the Federal government doe* something to meet the present strike situation, has re? calved a great deal o f publicity and created much comment here in Wash- Mr. Harold Cooley and wife are sre on a visit with his parents, Mr. id Mr*.

Martin said in irn interview the com­ mittee will consider an amendment to pending legislation appropriating an additional $55,000,000,000 for activi­ ties of the UNRA. The amendment was drafted by Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Republican, Ohio, who says it complies iftith a policy dec­ laration of the American Society of Newspaper Editors issued last No­ vember. Browns amendment would prohibit the use of any.U. S. contributions to country which.: Discriminates against any media of information. Infringes upon freedom of informa­ tion or expression.
