Helena A P reports two Republican representatives Jerome Anderson and Frank Fulton criticized Attorney General Arnold Olsen's stance on oil and gas lease bonuses and rentals.

Power Contract Issue Clouded by Democratic Move
Washington D C Democrats on the Senate House Atomic Energy Committee pushed a resolution to cancel the Dixon-Yates contract by a 10 to 8 party line vote. The vote also rescinded a prior waiver speeding action on the deal, creating uncertainty about AEC reaction. The plan would build a 107 million dollar plant in West Memphis Arkansas to supply power to the Tennessee Valley Authority under the AEC contract. Republicans challenged the move, arguing legal questions and cost, while President Eisenhower's administration maintained support for the contract.
