House Committees
Aid on Breton Wood,
Praised by Truman
BY ths Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-President
Truman commended the House
Banking and Currency Committee
in a message made public yesterday
for its efforts to win approval OF
the Breton Woods monetary pro-
posals.
THE House committee and the
public" he said in 1 message to a
luncheon of the Business and
Industry Committee for Breton
Woods, Inc, deserve the highest
praise for the manner In which
they have contributed to the cause
Of international collaboration.
Il derive confidence and strength
from this manifestation OF our Ma
tion's desire to play an important
and constructive part in the build
ing of the peace"
Six committee members were guests
at the luncheon.
Other messages favorin9 the pro-
posals were received from former
Secretary Of State Hull, eecretary OF
the Treasury Morgenthau and AS
sistant Secretary Of State Clayton.
Senator Tobey, Republican, Of New
Hampshire predicted the Senate
would pass the proposals next Tues
day by 4 very substantial major
ity'
The alternative to do nothing is
chaos" he said, and 80 the Breton
Woods agreement has received our
earnest and active support"
Referring to bankers who appeared
at the Senate hearings on the bill
last week to urge abandonment of
the fund and postponement OF the
fund for five years, Senator Tobey
said:
1T seems to me such critics miss
the real objective, for they approach
the matter with the premise that
these are business banking loans,
amply secured.
They cannot be considered on 4
par with such. There are more
fundamental objectives which we OF
the Congress seek to obtain"
Banking Committee members
present were Chairman Spence and
Representatives Hays, Arkansas
Rains. Alabama; Riley. South Caro-
lima; Folger. North Carolina, and
Thom, Ohio; all Democrats.

mittee is composed Of 100 American

NEW YORK. April 9-The Sperry
Corp. said yesterday, with Navy
approval. that a secret gyroscopic
sight it developed early in the war
has made our fleet relatively in
vulnerable to attack from aircraft.
Known as the Mark IA gyro gum

mounts. it enabled the battleship
South Dakota to shoot down 80
Japanese planes before they could
strike in her first major engage
ment in 1912, the corporation said.
Thomas A. Morgan, Sperry presi-
dent, said the sight extends the
mental powers of operators by
quickly and automatically calculat-
ing and applying the angle by
which guns must lean in order to
hit fast-moving targets.
The sight was developed by en-
gineers OF the Sperry Gyroscope Co.
in collaboration with DR.. c. Stark
Draper of the Massachusetts, Insti-

MUEHLHAUSEN. Germany. April
ga German soldier at least so
years old stood at street corner in
this town frantically tagging pass
ing American vehicles.
Finally two Americans from the
9Th Armored Division decided to in
vestigate. The German pulled out a
batch of papers and through an
interpreter the Americans learned
that he had been captured and sent
to prison camp at Huntsville, Tex.
Exchanged because of his age, he
had been trying to get home to
Muelhausen, but arrived only after
the 9Th Armored Division captured
the town.
His chief worry now was that he
would be recaptured and sent back
to America before he could find
civilian clothes.
