Senate floor fight over Eisenhower peace ship funding
Senate Republicans prepared a floor fight to restore 21 million for the demonstration peace ship reactor after the House approved a broad AEC construction bill totaling 267.7 million dollars. Senator Hickenlooper said he would offer an amendment to restore ship funds, while Senator Anderson backed removing the ship reactor money. The dispute follows Democratic action to strip the 21 million last week and President Eisenhower’s push for a world tour capable atomic powered ship with exhibits.
