LAST NIGHT'S FORUM CENTERED AROUND THE SOVIET
ECONOMY
Bergson Says Growth Rate West1May Use

By BAERT BRAND
An economics professor from the Columbia University Russian
Research Institute believes that the rate of growth of the Russian.
economy will decline in the "visible future," but while declining it
will still remain above the growth rate of the American economy.
Speaking as part of the Russian Studies Program on "Soviet
Economic Trends," Prof. Abram Bergson cited several "drags on
the Soviet economy" which he said will impede the speed of its future
growth.
Compared to United States growth of four and one-half p'er
- cent during the past five years,
Prof. Bergson said that Soviet eco-
R d ro esnomic growth, according to avail-
able statistics, has been about 11
per cent for the last three years.

WASHINGTON (R-Bone - weary
senators approved President Ei-
senhower's sweeping atomic en-
ergy program, with some basic
changes, Tuesday night on the 13th.
day of a hot debate
The Tally Was 57-28..
The vote approved an omnibus
measure opening the atomic field
to private industry and author-
izes the President to reveal some
nuclear secrets to foreign allies,
The bill goes now to a Senate-
House conference where another
stiff skirmish, behind closed doors,
is expected in ironing out major
differences.
Senate Amendments
The Senate wrote in amend-
ments requiring companies taking
part in the atomic power program
to share their patents with other
concerns for 10 years, and author-
izing the Atomic Energy Com-
mission and some other govern-
ment agencies to operate atomic
power plants.
The House voted for normal
patent rights, except for develop-
ments created under government
auspices, and specifically barred
the AEC from getting, into large
scale power production.
Senators who fought to write
public power features into the
the bill; have threatened another
long battle if they are dropped in
conference.
168 Hour Consideration
At the finale, the Senate had
considered the measure almost
exclusively for approximately 168
hours.
Senate Republican Leader Know-
land of California called that a
record for concentrated attention
on a single measure. The Senate
has spent more elapsed time on
other bills but it has put them
aside in mid - debate to handle
other matters.
The fight over atomic energy
and Knowland's tactics in seeking
an early vote carried the Senate
into one almost continuous session
of 85 hours, 48 minutes and an-
other which ended tonight after
lasting nearly 36 hours.
The Senate nailed into the bill
an amendment by Sen. Edwin C.
Johnson (D-Colo) authorizing any
federal power agency to operate
atomic power plants, if they can
get funds from Congress, and giv-
ing preference in the sale of pow-
er to cooperatives and publicly
owned utilities -
Second Amendment
A second amendment, by Sen.
Gillette (D-Iowa), gives the same
preference for byproduct power
now available from present AEC
research plants.
The Senate approved an amend-
ment by Sen. Kerr (D-Okla) pro-
viding that new patents be shared
with qualified applicants for a
10-year period - one of the most
disputed parts of the bill.
International clauses permitting
exchange of some nuclear informa-
tion and laying the groundwork
for a start on President Eisen-
hower's plan for a global atomic
pool were approved without
change, as they were in the house.
The Senate specifically approved
an Eisenhower plan for the AEC
to contract with a Southern utility
group for new private power facil-
ities to serve the Memphis, Tenn.,
area over Tennessee Valley Au-
thority lines. The proposal brought
a drumfire of eight days' oppo-
sition debate.
This approval was voted, 56-35,
on an amendment by Sen. Fergu-
son (R-Mich) after the Senate
first defeated, 55-36, an amend-
ment by Sen. Anderson (D-NM)
that would have killed the disputed
plan.
U' ) um~
The agreement ending the longt
dispute between the two countries
over the future status of the canal
defenses was signed here by'
Egypt's Prime Minister Gamal Ab-
del Nasser and British War Min-
ister Antony Head.
This preliminary pact, which will
take British troops out of Egypt
for the first time since 1882, is ex-
pected to lead to a formal treaty
between the two nations.
Of the more than 83,000 troops1
in the canal zone, 16,300 are air
force men and 18,000 non-Britisht
soldiers. Two-thirds of the garri-
son forces will be flown back to1
Britain, informed sources in Lon-
don said. The remaining third will1
be based elsewhere in the Middle
East.
Troops Out by 1956
London sources said these troopst
would all be shifted elsewhere by t
early 1956.1
The pact made no mention off
Iran, which the United States had
wanted included among the na-
tions where an attack would per-
mit automatic reoccupation of the
zone.
The British-Egyptian negotia-
tions on the zone opened April 23,t

The U.S. notes were routedI
through Britain because the United
States does not recognize the Chi-
nese Communist government, and
Britain does.
State Department Note
The State Department note on
the attack on the British airliner
said:
"Occurring over international
waters about 30 miles south of
Hainan Island, this unprovoked
and unwarranted attack resulted in
the killing of three United States
citizens, including two children of
the tender ages of 2 and 4 years,
and the wounding of three other
United States citizens, including a
child age 6.
"In behalf of the United States
government' appropriate punish-
ment is demanded of all persons
bearing responsibility for this
criminal attack, as well as com-
pensation for the victims and the
family of those killed.
"A further demand is made that
measures be taken to guard
against repetition of such an action
and that the United States govern-
ment be informed, through the
British government, of the nature
of such measures."
As for the other communication,
the summary said, after reciting
the time and circumstances of the
shooting between U.S. and Com-
munist planes:

international waters approximately
13 miles from Hainan.

Military Aid{
The House Tuesday tentatively
approved a. bill appropriating
$5,208,419,979 to finance for the
present fiscal year the program of
military and economic aid to non-,
Communist nations.
gmic aid to non - Comimunist
nations.
A formal rollcall vote sending
the bill to the Senate was put off
until Wednesday after a motion to
return the measure to the Appro-
priations Committee was shouted
down.
Administration forces. aided by
Democrats, were in control all the
way as the House beat down de-
cisively every proposal to make
further cuts from funds recom-
mended by the committee.
The committee already had
chopped $812,213,554 from funds
requested by President Eisenhow-
er. The House sustained those cuts
but declined to go beyond them
after Majority Leader Halleck (R-
Ind) declared that the President
felt further reductions would be
dangerous.
The bill implements a separate
measure, already passed by the
House, authorizing continuance of
the foreign aid program initiated
after World War IL
functions.
Citing recent statistics, she mentioned that women lead men in
religious, civic, philanthropic and cultural activities.
She added that in the professional fields they also lead somewhat
in social, political and alumni affairs.
The professor based these interests on the fact that domestic
duties and responsibilities have ~ -~ ~ ~ -
shrunk, leading to dissatisfaction
and confusion.
The women then have three al-
ternatives, she added: a full or
part-time career, the glamouriz-1
ing of themselves or working for
either a mature appreciation of
cultural interest and/or further
education or to the cultivation of
serious obligations to. the commu-
nity.

an American counterintelligence
agent shot and killed himself in
Berlin a day after the disappear-

The agent, a German-born nat-
