Senate approves armys broad control over atomic energy
Senate action would create a control commission to fund research through contracts and grants while allowing government production of fissile material. Private ownership of the material and production facilities would be banned, with licenses for private management of plants. The commission would oversee source ore purchases and atomic weapon production under presidential rules. Military research would continue in Army, Navy and private sectors. Before licensing peaceful use, Congress would get a report on social and global impacts, with a 90 day wait for licensing. Conflicts would yield to international accords on atomic control.

Draft debate over volunteer enlistment and selective service
PAY advocates say the draft spurs recruitment while Gurney reports volunteer enlistments falling by about 20 000 monthly. He estimates a high of 30 000 volumes this year and 39 000 needed monthly to meet minimums, with 9 000 more via re enlistments or the draft. The draft expires June 30 unless renewed, and a volunteer only policy faces GOP and Democratic opposition over rapid demobilization and international standing.
