PARIS, June 28.-(P)-German
scientists who now are turning
over their technical knowledge to
the Allies have declared their be.
lief that rockets within the next
five to ten years will speed a ton
of mail across the Atlantic in 40
minutes and within Is to Is years
will make regular passenger runs
between Europe and the United
States.
This and other seemingly fan
tastic data were disclosed in a
press conference today by 1t. Col.
John A. Keck of Greensburg, Pa,
chief of the enemy equipment in
telligence section of the U. S.
Army Ordinance Division in the
European theater.
Keck said many of the approx
mately 1000 German scientists
row in the technical custody of
the Allied Armies after helping
create Germany's secret weapons
believe that within so to 100 years
man will be able to conquer
gravity and harness the rays Of
the sun. He added his own COM
| ment that the first nation to achieve
this will rule the world.
To skeptical correspondents who
listened with frequently raised
eyebrows during his talk Of more
than an hour and half Neck said
these scientists were the same men
who developed Germany's vi and
w flying bombs and many other
"screwban' weapons which he took
eff the secret list for the first
time
Such weapons, he said. included
2oO-ton tank, guns with 400-foot
barrels which had been found
trained on London, rockets thai
could be launched from submerged
submarines and a rifle with g
curved barrel for shooting around
orne-s.
Keck said most Of these scien
fists have expressed willingness:
to 60 to the United States Of
Britain and carry on there, know
ing they will never be able tt
continue their work in Germany
Neck told correspondents tina
while the standard equipment o
the German Army was good t.
excellent" the Germans concen
trated too much attention OF
"screbal weapons" at the expens
of proved equipment and tina
this was big factor in Germany
defeat.
Keck said he and British intelli
gence officers learned that Hitle
had ordered his highest officer
to see that all German artiller.
was converted to rocket artiller,
by October, 1914.
He disclosed that Allied Sec-e
operatives knew practically tn
oaily routine at Germany's No.

Allied bombers killed some $50

Keck said that at the end of tn
war the Nazi program called TO

range up to 1900 miles and due t
be ready in another six months
This, the scientists believed, coul
be improved within FIVE to tie
years to speed a ton of mail fror

Keck asserted these same scie!

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee suffered a fainting spell
late yesterday after a. floor attack
on the Tennessee Valley Authority's
revolving fund, but he arrived at
his office this morning saying 81 feel
just fine today"
The sudden illness of the 76-year-
old acting chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee delayed passage
of the $780, ,000, 900 Independent Of
fees appropriations bill.
A short time before, Senator Nc
Kellar had formally abandoned his
effort to amend the measure to re-
quire that the IVA pay all of its
power and fertilizer receipts into the
Treasury and operate exclusively on
congressional appropriations.
Since it would require a two
thirds Senate majority to add this
legislation to an appropriations bill,
Senator McKellar said, he has de-
cided to offer the proposal as a
separate bill requiring only a ma
jority vote for passage.
1t will be introduced In a day or
two, he said, and require every
agency to pay all OF its receipts into
the Treasury's general fund.

meeting there late in 1943 was dis
closed yesterday with the lifting of
censorship on the arrest of ITO sus-
pected Iranian collaborationists.
In delayed dispatch from Tehe-
ran, Associated Press Correspond

and saboteurs-fown and para
chuted from Berlin-fostered in
trigue that endangered Prime Min
lister Churchill on visit there in
1912 and later might have harmed
Mr.. Churchill, President Roosevelt
and Premier Stain.
The dispatch, dated February 10

melted by gun-running agents. The
plans also were to depose the Shah

British counterespionage tracked
down the plotters before they could
execute any violence against the
Allied statesmen.
