Atomic Control Laws Hit Snag
Washington API The congressional path of atomic energy legislation faced new hurdles as divergent interpretations emerged over President Truman's stance on civilian versus military control. Truman avoided the core point, saying military consultation is needed while primary control remains with a civilian body answerable to him. He cited a six week old letter to clarify the matter. The Senate atomic committee had voted to accept a military advisory board over McMahon’s civilian plan, but Truman said civilian control should be primary without hampering the military, as he is Commander in Chief and responsible for national security.
