McKellar Blasts
Lilienthal
—
WASHINGTON, </P) — A long
time feud between Senator Mc
Kellar <D.-Tenn.) and David E.
Lilienthal flared up in a sharp ex
change of words today at a Senate
Committee hearing on Lilienthal’s
nomination to head the atomic en
ergy commission.
McKellar, invited as a guest
quizzer, told Lilienthal to his face
that "you know nothing in the
world about splitting the atom"
and should have been greatly sur
prised when President Truman
named him chairman of the atomic
group.
Lilienthal, former head of the
Tennessee Valley Authority, turn
ed in the witness seat to face Mc
Kellar and snapped:
“I’ll say this,” Lilienthui said.
“I did my damndest to keep out of
it, but I failed.”
The exchange took place at the
end of a hearing by the Senate
section of the joint Congressional
committee on atomic energy. Mc
Kellar previously had called Lil
I ienthal "the head Communist of
my state" of Tennessee.
GOVERNOR'S MACHINE
RUNS ON KEROSENE
RICHMOND, Va. (£>) — Gov.

testify that kerosene is a satisfac
tory substitutee motor fuel, in an
emergency.
Twenty miles from Richmond,
the gubernatorial automobile ran
out of gasoline and the nearest
I service station had none. The gov
ernor settled for a gallon of kero
sene, which enabled the car to
reach another station and fill up
with gas. •
