M. (* — A 45-year-old Air F o r c e colonel reached a speed of 421 miles an hour on the ground—a record for a humao—during recent teats at Kolloman Air Force Base here. LL Col. John P. Stapp, a veteran of aviation medical research, rode a rocket-propelled sled designed to find out the effect upon fliers of bailing out at very high altitudes and supersonic speeds. "Things happen too fast to think about them at the time," He said after the 3,500-foot run, which takes just "seven seconds. "The critical factor in the test J f the effect of the braking on the passenger. Officials estimate Col. Stapp's body underwent a pressure of 22 times the force of gravity and his body assumed the weight of 3,960 pounds. "It was a fine ride," he said. "I feel a great sense of achieve- ment. Completing this run got a load off my chest" The only other human to top 400 m.p.h. on the ground was John Cobb, who drove a race car at 403.135 m.p.h. at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Sept 16, 1947. Stapp, chief of the Aero Medical Field Laboratory at Holloman Air Development Center, made the record run March 19 on his 27th sled ride. His previous fastest time had been 180 m.p.h. at Ed- wards Air Force Base in Califor- nia. The test sled, designed by North- rop Aircraft, Inc. Hawthorne, Calif., consists of two vehicles—the propulsion sled and the test vehi- cle. The propulsion sled carries 12 rockets, each with a thrust of 4,500 pounds, six of which were used in the March test. The two vehicles are mounted on special railroad tracks between which is a water trough five feet wide and 18 inches deep. Braking is achieved by controllable metal scoops under each vehicle which scoop up water from the trough. In future tests, it is hoped to carry volunteers at speeds up to 800 m.p.h. at this 4,092-foot alti- tude. Due to variations in air den- sity at different altitudes, this would be the equivalent of 1,800 m.p.h. at 40,000 feet encil Pierces ^Girl's Heart , In Tumble SYRACUSE m —A surgeon today described a delicate opera- tion to remove a mechanical pen- cil from a heart muscle of a 10- year-old girl.

"Oh, I guess we were ^picked just because we happened to be handy, right on Highway 63," said Mrs. Doty as she pondered last minute preparations for the regal visitor. She said she was be- ing buoyed up somewhat by the fact a luncheon is slated at Austin only. 55 minutes after the motor- cade departs from her home. "So they can't eat so very much and I ought to have enough of everything," she concluded. Ex-Top Tax Collector Nunan Goes on Trial NEW YORK tin — Joseph D. Nunah, Jr., once the nation's top tax collector, went to trial in Brooklyn Federal court yesterday on charges of failing to pay $91,086 in taxes on his own income. First day of the trial was devoted to se- lection of jurors. . Nunan was indicted late in 1952. the same year he figured in a Con- gressional probe of tax scandals. i i——tf ii MORE BALLOONS TO CROSS CURTAIN MUNICH, Germany « — Radio Free Europe said last night the American Crusade for Freedom would launch four million anti- Communist letters toward Czecho- slovakia within the next few days by balloons.

Eldest FDR Son Nominated for Congress Seat Surprise Primary Vote of Democrats Overrides Criticism SAN FRANCISCO m - Califor- nia's unique run-on-both-tickets po- litical system was shaken by a surprising Democratic vote in yes- terday's primary election. The Democratic surge overrode national party criticism of James Roosevelt and helped the eldest son of the late New Deal President win nomination for Congress from heavily Democratic Los Angeles. He'll oppose Republican Theodore (Ted) Owings in November. Similarly, Rep. Robert L. Con- don (D-Calif), also renounced by Democratic National Chairman Stephen Mitchell, was renominated and will-face John F. Baldwin, Jr., the Republican he defeated in 1952. And right on down the line, Dem- ocrats nominated Democrats for national and state offices—in sharp contrast to previous elections when many Republicans, filing on both tickets, won both nominations and thus were elected in the primary. Charges Ignored Democratic v o t e r s obviously paid no heed to charges of infidel- ity against Roosevelt by his es- tranged wife and to the listing of Condon as a security risk by the Atomic Energy C o m m i s s i o n . Roosevelt called his wife's accusa- tions untrue. Condon testified he was never a Communist member or sympathizer. Gov. Goodwin J.

McCarthy will agree to a special Senate investigation of his finan- cial dealings. McCarthy declared he was willing. Denouncing Symington's chal- lenge as "a vicious smear," Mc- Carthy said he was glad it was made on television "so millions of people can see how low a man can sink—I repeat, how low an alleged man can sink." At another point, McCarthy said Symington had taken up the line of the Daily Worker, which McCarthy said has been belaboring him for years about old charges of mal- feasance in office. Mundt Criticizes Both Acting Chairman Mundt (R-SD) broke in to criticize both Syming- ton and McCarthy for what he called "a waste of time" in the current proceedings. Symington dared McCarthy to go before a special Senate Committee —which Symington suggested mat Vice President Nixon appoint—to answer questions raised by a Sen- ate Rules subcommittee in its re- port on a 1952 inquiry into Mc- Carthy's financial dealings. Symington proposed McCarthy sign a written agreement with him.

Upturn in Business Near, Ike Economic Adviser Says WASHINGTON (A — President.administration had actively com Eisenhower's chief economic ad- batted the business downturn that viser says the nation's economy is poised for an early upturn, spurred by new developments in defense and business expansion spending.

Burns, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, told a news conference yesterday that if unem- ployment follows its usual seasonal pattern, there would be about four and Okinawa, the Navy said to- night. The PBM left Iwakuni Air Base at 5:30 A.M. and was last heard from at 6:55 A.M. Air Force and Navy planes and Japanese and U.S. ships searched the sea but found no trace of the plane, the Navy said. The- plane was attached to Navy Patrol Squadron 47 at Iwakuni. It carried 15 officers and enlisted men from Iwakuni units and two Marine officers. Names Were withheld. ATTORNEY CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY KILLS SELF LAKE WALES, Fla. (&—Emmett Donnelly, Lake Wales attorney ac- cused of conspiring to kill three well-to-do persons, shot and killed himself today. Connelly, who was released under $30,000 bond from county jail yesterday on three charges of plotting to kill, fired one shotgun blast into his head. Don- nelly was arrested in a "murder for profit" plot involving two weal- thy widows and an elderly calen- dar manufacturer, Sheriff Pat Gor- don said. Donnelly figured in one of Polk County's most sensational slayings 22 yeais ago. He was charged then with assassinating his law associate, Joe H. Beal, but a grand jury refused to indict him and the charge was dropped. Since then he has had a lucrative law practice here. TEACHER CHARGED WITH TRADING GRADES FOR CARS NEW YORK UB—A high, school teacher appeared in the police line- up today charged with attempting to have some of his pupils steal automobiles in return for passing grades. The teacher, Jerome Bind- er, 29, denied tiie charge. He was arrested at his home early today. The specific charge was impair- ing the morals of minors and con- spiracy. The lineup report said Binder was accused of "attempt- ing to have some pupils in a school where he teaches steal auto- mobiles, for which he promised them passing grades." Binder has been teaching English at the Man- hattan High School of Aviation Trades. be nearly 700,000 more than the government has reported as out of work last month. But Burns said he expects a rising trend of business activity to whittle unemployment sharply in the fall. ' - "There is evidence that the de- cline has leveled off," Burns said. "The records indicate an earlier upturn. . . . There are very en- couraging signs for an over-all re- covery in the near future in non- agricultifral industry." Burns covered virtually all as- pects of the economy in the course of answering reporters' questions. He seemed to find encouraging signs everywhere. His first news conference as White House economic adviser grew out of a question asked at the President's own meeting with reporters last week—whether the FOUR PUERTO RICANS OBJECT TO IN8ANITY PLEA WASHINGTON tin—Four Puerto Ricans on trial for staging a wild shooting spree in the House of Rep- resentatives objected strenuously today when their lawyers sought to lay the groundwork for possible pleadings of insanity.

Atomic Warning Handed Russia Gen. Gruenther Bares Plan If Reds Strike LONDON ftf>—NATO's supreme commander in Europe, U.S. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, warned Rus- sia last night that the West will meet a Soviet attack with "every weapon in our arsenal," including atomic bombs. "In our thinking we visualize the use of atomic bombs in the support of our ground troops, we also visu- alize the use of atomic bombs on targets in enemy territory," Gru- enther told a D-Day anniversary dinner at which Prime Minister Churchill also spoke and the Duke of Edinburgh presided. If war with Russia should come this year, the NATO commander said, "the Soviet Union would be defeated." "I do not want to say we would win," he added, "because I am sure in a third world war there would be no winner." Gruenther also told his audience he was not sure time was on the side of the West. Russia's indus- trial and atomic stockpiles are mounting, he explained, and her air power displayed at the recent May Day parade in Moscow was "devastating." But at present, he said, the So- viets have no answer to the Allies' long-range aircraft. He cited the big American B47 jet bomber, "a plane which can fly so fast and so high that there is no defense against it in 1954." ' Gruenther told of one B47 which recently flew the Atlantic in 4 hours 34 minutes. Churchill told the West that "peace through strength must be our guiding star." • He warned that if the free na- tions relax their defense efforts, it would imperil European peace, and if differences split the Allies, it would lead to "general ruin and enslavement" set in last summer. Eisenhower told reporters Burns could best an- swer that question. When asked about this yesterday, Burns said the government acted swiftly to ease the dip even as it laid the basis for a new upswing. He said that when the 1954 fiscal year ends on June 30, the govern- ment will have spent about two billion dollars less on defense than was predicted in Eisenhower's budget message to Congress last January. The President's predic- tion was $39,300,000,000. Thus, Burns said, defense spend- ing may sink by only about three billion dollars in the next 12 month instead of five billion dollars as forecast in January. That, he said, is because some of the reductions expected in fiscal 1955 will have already taken place. Burns disclosed that the Com- merce Department's Business Ad- visory Council—a group of about 10 of the nation's leading business- men—had made a special survey of plans for spending this calendar year on new plant and equipment. The survey Bums said, appear- ed to indicate that this spending would at least equal last year's record $28,400,000,000 outlay and might even go higher GENEVA (*» - Western diplo- mats said glumly today Soviet For- eign Minister V. M. Molotov had all but killed chances of peace in war-torn Indochina by his latest policy statement Outlining his "peace terms" late yesterday to the nine-party In- dochina conference, Molotov not only, raised new issues but leveled charges which aroused Western re- sentment. ^Western leaders prepared to voice their reaction formally at an- other Indochina session today. A'y. S. spokesman called the Molotov speech "purely destruc- tive." A British Spokesman said it contained nothing helpful. The French called it "extremely ag- gressive 1 ' and said it contained "provocative terms." He accused the United States of masterminding a plan to under- mine the Geneva conference and extend the Indochina war. He criticized the policies of Pre- mier Joseph Laniel's government. which is now facing a severe test in the French National Assembly. French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault hastened to Paris immedi- ately after Molotov's speech to take part this afternoon in the as- sembly debate on Indochina.

'sions on the sovereignty of the three Indochinese states, even though they all claim to be inde- pendent. He called for withdrawal of all foreign troops — nieaning French forces—before elections could be held. At the same time, he stuck to his demands that supervision of the armistice agreements be han- dled by a mixed commission of Communist and non-Communist nations, made up of Poland, Czech- oslovakia, Switzerland and Swe- den. The West already has rejected the Communist supervision plan. More Assembly Riots Hit Japan investigations subcommittee was in the witness chair. It was framed as a letter to Mc- Carthy with a line at tiie bottom saying "I agree to the foregoing" and a place where Symington pro- posed that McCarthy place his sig- nature. In pale-faced anger, McCarthy threw the letter to the table top. He said he would not sign i t but announced that he was accepting the offer. When McCarthy's turn came to question Conn, McCarthy p o s « a lengthy question which amounted to an attack on Symington. The question assailed Syming- ton's handling of a threatened strike during World War U at a St. Louis plant then headed by Symington.

WASHINGTON tin — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce today op- posed as a "dangerous precedent" President Eisenhower's proposal to extend unemployment compensa- tion coverage to employes of smail firms. Chamber Spokesman Frank B. Cliffe* of Pittsburgh, vice president of the H. J. Heinz Co., said in a statement before the House Ways and Means Committee that this should be left to the states. The 19-year old Federal unem- ployment compensation law limits coverage to those who work for employers of eight or more per- sons. Eisenhower has recommend- ed broadening this to cover busi- nesses that hire one or more workers. This would add about 3.500,000 workers to the nearly 36 million now covered out of a na- tional work force of over 61 mil- lion. Cliffe said enactment of this pro- posal might lead to Congressional action to force the states to adopt minimum benefits, or minimum du- ration periods. Amount and dura- ton of jobless payments has been a state prerogative. Similarly, Cliffe opposed an ad- ministration proposal to bring about 200,000 agricultural process- ing workers under the system. The Chamber, however, endorsed an administration plan to include more than two million federal em- ployes. DAILY ALMANAC Western New York — Continued mostly warm dry weather today.

Fastest Trip Tine Ride/ Colonel Soys

'Speed Sled' Hurtles Man 421 MPH ALAMOGORDO, N. M. (* — A

45-year-old Air F o r c e colonel reached a speed of 421 miles an hour on the ground—a record for a humao—during recent teats at Kolloman Air Force Base here.

LL Col. John P. Stapp, a veteran of aviation medical research, rode a rocket-propelled sled designed to find out the effect upon fliers of bailing out at very high altitudes and supersonic speeds.

"Things happen too fast to think about them at the time," He said after the 3,500-foot run, which takes just "seven seconds. "The critical factor in the test

J f the effect of the braking on the passenger. Officials estimate Col. Stapp's body underwent a pressure

of 22 times the force of gravity and his body assumed the weight of 3,960 pounds.

"It was a fine ride," he said. "I feel a great sense of achieve­ment. Completing this run got a load off my chest"

The only other human to top 400 m.p.h. on the ground was John Cobb, who drove a race car at 403.135 m.p.h. at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Sept 16, 1947.

Stapp, chief of the Aero Medical Field Laboratory at Holloman Air Development Center, made the record run March 19 on his 27th sled ride. His previous fastest time had been 180 m.p.h. at Ed­wards Air Force Base in Califor­nia.

The test sled, designed by North­

rop Aircraft, Inc. Hawthorne, Calif., consists of two vehicles—the propulsion sled and the test vehi­cle. The propulsion sled carries 12 rockets, each with a thrust of 4,500 pounds, six of which were used in the March test.

The two vehicles are mounted on special railroad tracks between which is a water trough five feet wide and 18 inches deep. Braking is achieved by controllable metal scoops under each vehicle which scoop up water from the trough.

In future tests, it is hoped to carry volunteers at speeds up to 800 m.p.h. at this 4,092-foot alti­tude. Due to variations in air den­sity at different altitudes, this would be the equivalent of 1,800 m.p.h. at 40,000 feet

Timmerman Wi l l

Succeed Byrnes As Governor

COLUMBIA, S.C. (JKh-U. Gov. George Bell Timmerman Jr., 42-year-old son of a U.S. district judge, will succeed James F. Byrnes as South Carolina's gover-

inor. He rolled to an overwhelming

3-2 victory over Columbia insur­ance executive Lester L. Bates in yesterday's Democratic primary marked by light voting. Nomina­tion is equivalent to election.

Timmerman is pledged to find­ing some way to maintain the state's system of separate schools for whites and Negroes despite the U.S. Supreme Court decision that it is unconstitutional.

The only two South Carolina members of Congress with primary opposition, Reps. James P. Rich­ards of the 5th District and Robert T. Ashmore of the 4th, were easy winners. Richards is ranking mi­nority member of the House For­eign Affairs Committee.

Timmerman has proposed main­tenance of the present segregated schools plus non-segregated schools on an optional basis.*

Africa Emperor Visits Typical Mid-west Farm

ST. PAUL, Minn. (4V-The home­made cookies and lemonade were all ready-

But a Minnesota farm wif. was worrying today about how much an African Emperor could eat or drink of them on a stop scheduled for just 20 minutes.

And are he and his party going to like the treats?

Mrs. Edwin Doty, who helps her husband farm in southern Minne­sota made'the preparations when Haile Selassie, ruler of Ethiopia, said he wanted to view a typical farm during his one-day visit to Minnesota.

Mrs. Doty was hoping she had enough of her and her husband's favorite goodies—while looking askance at an official party listing enough persons to fill eight autos.

At the state, capital. Gov. C. El­mer Anderson was greeting the royal guests before the caravan departed for Rochester and a morning tour of the worW-famed Mayo Clinic.

Seven miles south of Rochester comes the 11:50 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. stop at the Dotys.

"Oh, I guess we were ^picked just because we happened to be handy, right on Highway 63," said Mrs. Doty as she pondered last minute preparations for the regal visitor. She said she was be­ing buoyed up somewhat by the fact a luncheon is slated at Austin only. 55 minutes after the motor­cade departs from her home.

"So they can't eat so very much and I ought to have enough of everything," she concluded.

Eldest FDR Son Nominated for Congress Seat

Surprise Primary Vote of Democrats Overrides Criticism

SAN FRANCISCO m - Califor­nia's unique run-on-both-tickets po­litical system was shaken by a surprising Democratic vote in yes­terday's primary election.

The Democratic surge overrode national party criticism of James Roosevelt and helped the eldest son of the late New Deal President win nomination for Congress from heavily Democratic Los Angeles. He'll oppose Republican Theodore (Ted) Owings in November.

Similarly, Rep. Robert L. Con­don (D-Calif), also renounced by Democratic National Chairman Stephen Mitchell, was renominated and will-face John F. Baldwin, Jr., the Republican he defeated in 1952.

And right on down the line, Dem­ocrats nominated Democrats for national and state offices—in sharp contrast to previous elections when many Republicans, filing on both tickets, won both nominations and thus were elected in the primary.

Charges Ignored Democratic v o t e r s obviously

paid no heed to charges of infidel­ity against Roosevelt by his es­tranged wife and to the listing of Condon as a security risk by the Atomic Energy C o m m i s s i o n . Roosevelt called his wife's accusa­tions untrue. Condon testified he was never a Communist member or sympathizer.

Gov. Goodwin J. Knight easily won his own Republican nomina­tion for that office but trailed Rich­ard P.Graves on the Democratic1

ticket. A registered Republican un­til D e c e m b e r , the 47-year-old Graves was a political unknown until > he entered the campaign. Knight, 57, twice was elected lieu­tenant governor. He succeeded Chie/ Justice Earl Warren as gov­ernor last fall.

WASHINGTON (sV-Sen. Syming­ton offered today to testify hi the McCarthy-Army hearings if Sen. McCarthy will agree to a special Senate investigation of his finan­cial dealings. McCarthy declared he was willing.

Denouncing Symington's chal­lenge as "a vicious smear," Mc­Carthy said he was glad it was made on television "so millions of people can see how low a man can sink—I repeat, how low an alleged man can sink."

At another point, McCarthy said Symington had taken up the line of the Daily Worker, which McCarthy said has been belaboring him for years about old charges of mal­feasance in office.

Symington dared McCarthy to go before a special Senate Committee —which Symington suggested mat Vice President Nixon appoint—to answer questions raised by a Sen­ate Rules subcommittee in its re-port on a 1952 inquiry into Mc­Carthy's financial dealings.

Symington proposed McCarthy sign a written agreement with him.

McCarthy didn't sign it but said "if it is necessary to have a spe­cial committee to re-investigate these smears, I will now make a firm commitment to go before that committee to answer the smears."

ATTORNEY CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY KILLS SELF

LAKE WALES, Fla. (&—Emmett Donnelly, Lake Wales attorney ac­cused of conspiring to kill three well-to-do persons, shot and killed himself today. Connelly, who was released under $30,000 bond from county jail yesterday on three charges of plotting to kill, fired one shotgun blast into his head. Don­nelly was arrested in a "murder for profit" plot involving two weal­thy widows and an elderly calen­dar manufacturer, Sheriff Pat Gor­don said. Donnelly figured in one of Polk County's most sensational slayings 22 yeais ago. He was charged then with assassinating his law associate, Joe H. Beal, but a grand jury refused to indict him and the charge was dropped. Since then he has had a lucrative law practice here.

NEW YORK UB—A high, school teacher appeared in the police line­up today charged with attempting to have some of his pupils steal automobiles in return for passing grades. The teacher, Jerome Bind­er, 29, denied tiie charge. He was arrested at his home early today.

The specific charge was impair­ing the morals of minors and con­spiracy. The lineup report said Binder was accused of "attempt­ing to have some pupils in a school where he teaches steal auto­mobiles, for which he promised them passing grades." Binder has been teaching English at the Man­hattan High School of Aviation Trades.

But Burns said he expects a rising trend of business activity to whittle unemployment sharply in the fall. ' - "There is evidence that the de­cline has leveled off," Burns said. "The records indicate an earlier upturn. . . . There are very en­couraging signs for an over-all re­covery in the near future in non-agricultifral industry."

Burns covered virtually all as­pects of the economy in the course of answering reporters' questions. He seemed to find encouraging signs everywhere.

Atomic Warning Handed Russia

Gen. Gruenther Bares Plan If Reds Strike

LONDON ftf>—NATO's supreme commander in Europe, U.S. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, warned Rus­sia last night that the West will meet a Soviet attack with "every weapon in our arsenal," including atomic bombs.

"In our thinking we visualize the use of atomic bombs in the support of our ground troops, we also visu­alize the use of atomic bombs on targets in enemy territory," Gru­enther told a D-Day anniversary dinner at which Prime Minister Churchill also spoke and the Duke of Edinburgh presided.

If war with Russia should come this year, the NATO commander said, "the Soviet Union would be defeated."

"I do not want to say we would win," he added, "because I am sure in a third world war there would be no winner."

Gruenther also told his audience he was not sure time was on the side of the West. Russia's indus­trial and atomic stockpiles are mounting, he explained, and her air power displayed at the recent May Day parade in Moscow was "devastating."

But at present, he said, the So­viets have no answer to the Allies' long-range aircraft. He cited the big American B47 jet bomber, "a plane which can fly so fast and so high that there is no defense against it in 1954." ' Gruenther told of one B47 which recently flew the Atlantic in 4 hours 34 minutes.

Churchill told the West that "peace through strength must be our guiding star." • He warned that if the free na­tions relax their defense efforts, it would imperil European peace, and if differences split the Allies, it would lead to "general ruin and enslavement"

set in last summer. Eisenhower told reporters Burns could best an­swer that question.

When asked about this yesterday, Burns said the government acted swiftly to ease the dip even as it laid the basis for a new upswing.

He said that when the 1954 fiscal year ends on June 30, the govern­ment will have spent about two billion dollars less on defense than was predicted in Eisenhower's budget message to Congress last January. The President's predic­tion was $39,300,000,000.

Thus, Burns said, defense spend­ing may sink by only about three billion dollars in the next 12 month instead of five billion dollars as forecast in January. That, he said, is because some of the reductions expected in fiscal 1955 will have already taken place.

Burns disclosed that the Com­merce Department's Business Ad­visory Council—a group of about 10 of the nation's leading business­men—had made a special survey of plans for spending this calendar year on new plant and equipment.

The survey Bums said, appear­ed to indicate that this spending would at least equal last year's record $28,400,000,000 outlay and might even go higher

GENEVA (*» - Western diplo­mats said glumly today Soviet For­eign Minister V. M. Molotov had all but killed chances of peace in war-torn Indochina by his latest policy statement

Outlining his "peace terms" late yesterday to the nine-party In­dochina conference, Molotov not only, raised new issues but leveled charges which aroused Western re­sentment.

^Western leaders prepared to voice their reaction formally at an­other Indochina session today.

A ' y . S. spokesman called the Molotov speech "purely destruc­tive." A British Spokesman said it contained nothing helpful. The French called it "extremely ag­gressive1' and said it contained "provocative terms."

He accused the United States of masterminding a plan to under­mine the Geneva conference and extend the Indochina war.

He criticized the policies of Pre­mier Joseph Laniel's government. which is now facing a severe test in the French National Assembly. French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault hastened to Paris immedi­ately after Molotov's speech to take part this afternoon in the as­sembly debate on Indochina.

At the same time, he stuck to his demands that supervision of the armistice agreements be han­dled by a mixed commission of Communist and non-Communist nations, made up of Poland, Czech­oslovakia, Switzerland and Swe­den. The West already has rejected the Communist supervision plan.

investigations subcommittee was in the witness chair.

It was framed as a letter to Mc­Carthy with a line at tiie bottom saying "I agree to the foregoing" and a place where Symington pro­posed that McCarthy place his sig­nature.

In pale-faced anger, McCarthy threw the letter to the table top. He said he would not sign i t but announced that he was accepting the offer.

When McCarthy's turn came to question Conn, McCarthy p o s « a lengthy question which amounted to an attack on Symington.

The question assailed Syming­ton's handling of a threatened strike during World War U at a St. Louis plant then headed by Symington.

Unemployment For Small Firms Hit by C. of C. WASHINGTON tin — The U.S.

Chamber of Commerce today op­posed as a "dangerous precedent" President Eisenhower's proposal to extend unemployment compensa­tion coverage to employes of smail firms.

Chamber Spokesman Frank B. Cliffe* of Pittsburgh, vice president of the H. J. Heinz Co., said in a statement before the House Ways and Means Committee that this should be left to the states.

The 19-year old Federal unem­ployment compensation law limits coverage to those who work for employers of eight or more per­sons. Eisenhower has recommend­ed broadening this to cover busi­nesses that hire one or more workers. This would add about 3.500,000 workers to the nearly 36 million now covered out of a na­tional work force of over 61 mil­lion.

Cliffe said enactment of this pro­posal might lead to Congressional action to force the states to adopt minimum benefits, or minimum du­ration periods. Amount and dura-ton of jobless payments has been a state prerogative.

Similarly, Cliffe opposed an ad­ministration proposal to bring about 200,000 agricultural process­ing workers under the system.

The Chamber, however, endorsed an administration plan to include more than two million federal em­ployes.
