about 2:20 a.m, He said the
youth, about 20 years old, was
brandishing a 32 caliber auto-

He forced Plant to unlock the
car door, sat. between the couple
and shoved a clip of ammunition
into the weapon. Plant said he
offered his wallet and money, but
the thug said: “I don’t want your
dough, I've got plenty.”
He shoved the gun into Plant's
side and said: “I'll kill you both
if you don't do what I tel] you—
drive me downtown.”
Later the youth, dressed in a
sport coat, white shirt, light blue
trousers and tan elk shoes with
crepe soles, bragged:
“I’m hot on a three-year rap

House Speeds
Ike's Atom Bill
but Senate Stalls Representatives Give
Tentative Approval
After -Lengthy Session
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Eisenhower administra-
tion’s atomic energy bill
raced toward victory in the
House early today. But it
remained stalled in a still-
talking Senate session with
no end yet in sight.
Uncorking a marathon
meeting of its own, the
House wound up 17%
hours of debate—with lots
‘lof votes—at 3:14 a.m. EDT
by stamping tentative but
seemingly decisive approval
on the omnibus measure
which would revamp the
nation’s basic atomic
energy law.
Then it adjourned till Monday
after a parliamentary maneuver
by Rep. Murray (D-Tenn) forced
delay of the final, formal roll-
call vote on the bill.
In the Senate, where there has

weary administration supporters
were still seeking in vain for an
agreement which would move the
disputed measure forward along
the lines they want.
| GOP leaders said they planned
| to keep the session going tiH mid-
night tonight—then, after a Sunday
lay-off, start up again Monday.
Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) took the
floor at 2:18 a.m. for more hours
of speechmaking to criticize what
he says would be the bill's “give-
away” of a basic national resource
to ‘the private power monopoly.”
Sen. Knowland of California, the
Republican leader, spoke determin-
edly both to the Senate and in an
interview. He said he plans to
press Mondiy his cloture petition
to limit debate, unless he gets an
earlier agreement to shorten the
talkfest — an accord he has been
unsuccessful in gaining in repeat-
ed attempts so far.
Nor were there indications his
cloture move, already introduced
with the signatures of 38 GOP sen-+
ators, was likely to gain the 64-
member approval needed to take
effect if he presses it to a vote.
Most of the 47 Democrats and some
to the cloture attempt.
In the House, where strict ,de-
bate-limiting rules are the normal
course, administration forces held
solid sway yesterday and into the
wee hours of the morning as they
went through the complicated bill.
The measure in general would
revise the original 1946 atomic ete
ergy law to allow a limited sharing
lies and to let private industry en-
ter the field of peacetime atomic
power development.
