Senate Blocks Eisenhower Atomic Merchant Ship Plan
The Senate voted 42 to 41 to refuse 21 million dollars for an atomic merchant ship as part of the atoms for peace program. Republican opposition framed the vote as rescuing Eisenhower’s plan after House defeats, with Congress later approving a broad atomic energy construction bill directing over 269 million dollars for various installations. Both houses also extended conscription for four more years.
