A member of the committee, who asked not to be identified, said the group had decided to give the administration’s proposals ‘fur ther study”— a move that could kill them for this session. It handed the program a set back Tuesday by rejecting a per sonal appeal by Atty Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. and approving a wa tered-down version of his plan to abolish Communist-dominated la bor unions and business firms. Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-IU), an influential member of the commit tee. also pointed up the go-slow at titude of the committee by declin ing to predict that Congress will approve the anti-subversive meas pres before it adjourns. Brownell went before the com mittee to urge a speedup in the administration program that would permit the use of wiretap evidence in national security cases, make peacetime espionage punishable by death, grant immunity to wit - neses who testify about Commu nists, strip citizenship of convicted Reds and permit the government to remove subversives from vital defense plants. OTHER CONGRESSIONAL NEWS McCarthy: Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis) promised to keep an eye on the Central Intelligence Agency although he has turned his contemplated investigation of the agency over to the Hoover Com mission. He said his Senate Inves tigating subcommittee tries never to overlap other inquiries. And he expressed “oomplete confidence” in Gen. Mark W. Clark (ret.) who will head the Hoover Commission study of the top-secret CIA. Communists: The Senate Inter nal Security subcommittee called Julius Schreiber, a Washington psychiatrist, to testify on alleged Communist infiltration of the Army’s Information and Education Service In World War 11. Farm: A Senate fight appeared to be in the making over a pro posed two-price system for wheat that the House wrote into its farm bill. Both the Agriculture and Btate departments were said to be op posed to the plan which would guarantee a high price for wheat sold for domestic consumption and’ a lower price for that exported.

He told his news conference that he believes it is a record on which the Republican Party deserves the support of the people in the No vember elections. Conceding there have been some disappointments, he said that on the whole he thinks the record of Congress is pretty good and will be better by adjournment—tenta tively set for July 31. Asked whether he intends to tell the people about the Republican achievements, he said that if the final record turns out as good as he thinks it will, he will be proud to do so. HAPPY AT FARM ACTION He volunteered that he thinks the prospects for enactment of a goodly portion of his program are looking up. He called it a rosy outlook But he said it would be dishonest to pretend that the whole picture is rosy and that every rose is gilded. The President also said: 1.

UP The nation’s production of essential materials for atomic weapons was hit for the first time today by a strike of almost 4,000 workers at gaseous diffusion plants here and at Paducah, Ky. Supervisory workers attempted to keep production going on a limited scale. The huge plants are the United States’ only sources of fissionable uranium 235, essential to the pro duction of atomic weapons. Officials of the CIO gas, coke and chemical workers union threw up picket lines at Oak Ridge at 6 a. m., idling about 3,000 workers. An hour later the situation was duplicated at the Kentucky plant, where another 1,000 quit work. There have been numerous labor disputes during construction of the atomic facilities but never before a strike of production walkers. AFL craftmen who work in the plants appeared to be crossing the pickets lines without molestation. The Atomic Energy Commission in Washington refused to comment on the strike.

Os radical design, it has tiny, straight wings mounted far back on a slender fuselage. The Air Force announced Tues day, without revealing any details on size or performance, that the XF-104 made Its first test flight last February over the Mojave Desert at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Built by Lockheed Aircraft Oorp., Burbank, Calif., the experimental plane was designed for daylight operations lntercepting invading bombers and tangling with enemy fighters over battle areas. It is stripped of much of the complicated and weighty gear in stalled in night and all-weather ln tercopters and is referred to in some quarters as a “light-weight fighter.” The XF-104 weighs as much as the F-88 Sabre of Korea fame, however, and Is not to be con fused with some of the European “strippedQpbwn" fighter designs, 1 authorities said.
