AEC Blamed For A-Bomb WASHINGTON, Sept.26-W-Senator Hickenlopper (R-Iowa) contended today that "loose se curity policies" of the Atomic Energy Commission may have helped Russia make an atom! bomb ahead of schedule. Senator McMahon (D-Conn) quickly chal lenged this as not backed up by evidence. The Iowa Senator, who has accused AEC Chairman David E. Lillienthal of "incredible mis management," said in a Senate speech that AEC's alleged laxness had ermitted "vital information to filter out of this country." Hickenlopper gave no factual details but said it was "certainly reasonable to believe" that AEC policies helped Russia to beat the predicted time-table. ' j , McMahon, chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Com mittee, told reporters the commit tee's investigation had produced "not one scintilla of evidence" that loose security policies on the part of AEC had helped Russia. "On the contrary," McMahon declared,-"the evidence showed a 'profound and constant concern for security on. the part of the committion." Truman kept a sharp .-iv. atomic developments as the world anxiously scanned of an all-oui atomic bomb race between the East and tne West. .... . . . . . . . . . . . Vets Office Releases News For Students Enrollment Time Extended 19. Days By State VA WINSTON-SALEM, Sept, 26 VP) New . instructions for veter ans seeking to re-enter training this fall under the GI Bill of Rights were released today by representatives of the North Caro lina regional office of the Veter ans Administration. Chief effect of the instructions was an -extension to Nov. 1 of time fof enrollment of veterans re-entering training or changing courses under the GI bill. Nation-wide announcement of the change was made Sunday by Carl R. Gray, Jr., administrator, of veterans affairs, at that . time Gray said that the date of appli cation of Public Law 266 was be ing moved back until' Nov. 1 to avoid working a possible hard ship on any students who had not had time to complete plans for en tering schools before the original effective date of the regulations, Sept. 12. ' ' Under the relaxed instructions, all veterans who have made satis factory progress in school have until Nov. 1 to enroll in- courses of training without the necessity of prior approval of the VA for changes in course or re-entry in to training after once having com pleted or dropped out of a course. Public Law 266, passed Aug. 24, prohibits veterans from taking GI bill courses for recreational or av ocational purposes, or courses in institutions not in existence for at least one year. The new iastruc tion does not change this prohibi tion, but after Nov. 1, a new type certificate ' of " eligibility must be used. .", . .. ,, , This: revised certificate shows the course and school the veter an seeks to enter. The VA said ysterday that "This will enable a quick screening of applications for certiifcates of eligibility to make sure the training sought is permitted by Public Law 266." The Horace Wiliams lounge has been renamed the Horace Williams-Thomas Wolfe room and the Wolfe portrait will be hung there. According to Rathburn, newly- appointed head of the building, plans are complete for the re painting of the interior of the second floor and the redecorating of the main lounge.

The Graham Memorial studios will be open every day except Satur day, and Sunday from 10 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night, Claybrook said. Sittings will end October 23 and after that no more pictures of individual students will be taken. "And that is definite," he asserted yesterday. In the four-week period which began yesterday, the Yack editor hopes to accomodate 4,500 stu dents. He emphasized the necessity for all students- to have their pictures taken on schedule, for the Yack is working towards a distribution date in the spring of May 15. t Beginning Oct. 1, students whose surnames begin with E-K will be photographed. Oct. 8 will open the week for those from L-R, and Oct. 15 opens the week for those with S-Z. - Two photographers from Waller and Smith of Raleigh are now working full time and photographing an average of one other graves, all marked with ornamental tombstones and mon uments. Latest speculation about the identity of "F.E.H." is that he was not a senator at all, but a man servant or slave of one ' of the senators. This argument is sup ported by the fact that the other deceased senators lave elaborate markers over .their graves.

' Graduate students Will be able to have their pictures taken this year, .Claybrook said. They will come up in the regularly sche duled alphabetical order, but will be required to pay a fee of $1. This charge is necessary, the Yack editor said, because the grad students pay a smaller blanket fee at the beginning of the quarter than do . the regular students. There are -approximately 150 1949 Yacks in the Yack office at the present time, and they will be distributed to those students who did not receive them last spring. For students who did not attend the University for a quarter or more, a flat fee of $1.50 for each quarter not in at tendance will be charged. There will be a staff meeting this, afternoon in Roland Parker. Lounge of Graham Memorial, Claybrook said.
