a reporter.
The liaison committee is com
posed of two high ranking officers
from each of the army, navy and
air force.
Chairman David E. Lilienthal of
the atomic agency insisted during
an exchange with Vandenberg
yesterday that the fact Norway is
a friendly country had some bear
ing on the commission’s decision
to send it the isotopes.
Lilienthal was appearing before
the Senate-House atomic energy
committee as it continued its
hearings on charges by Senator
Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa* of “in
credible mismanagement” by the
commission chairman.
The Congressional group met
behind closed doors again today
to decide how td carry out the in
quiry.
Meanwhile, Lilienthal had re
newed assurances that President
Truman thinks the atomic pro
gram is in good hands.
Mr. Truman told his news con
ference yesterday that the testi
mony brought out before the Sen
ate-House group hasn’t changed
his high opinion of Lilienthal.
In response to questions, Mr.
Truman added that some of the
recent investigations into disloyal
and subversive activities are mo
tivated by a natural desire for
headlines.
