Bonner Won't Push for Two Atom Ships
Chairman Bonner of North Carolina said he will not push the Merchant Marine Committee bill to build two peacetime atomic ships. Rep. Tollefson urged Bonner to reconsider, but no administration backing has been reported. The White House previously failed to win Senate approval for an atomic peace ship, while a nuclear engine development was approved. AEC tension and manpower concerns cloud prospects for a rapid, fully atomic commercial vessel.
