ell Committee Verdict
orln Bibo Hearing Due
lbIHere in Two Weeks
Hearing Closed With
Senator's Denial of Any
Act to Justify Unseoting
By J. A. o'Leory
siar Staff corrsspondsnt

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 6.-The
Senate Campaign Investigating
Committee will render a verdict
in Washington within two weeks
on the racial discrimination
charges against Senator Bilbo,
Democrat, of Mississippi, it was
indicated today.
Four days of hearings ended late
yesterday with Senator Bilbo
denying he said or did anything in
his race for reflections to justify
the Senate in unseating him.
In a Federal courtroom crowded
to the doors, Senator Bilbo called a
dozen witnesses to the stand in an
effort, to show that Mississippians
generally favor white Democratic
primaries, regardless of whether
they support him as an individual.
New Hearing Slated.
Interest in the Bilbo case now
switches to Washington, where the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee is slated to start hearings next
Thursday on separate charges in
volving alleged financial transac-
tions between the Senator and scv-
eral war contractors who worked on
air fields in Mississippi.
Senator Bilbo today prepared to
leave for Washington, confident that
everything is lovely-righteousness
will prevail"
The findings Of both committees
probably will determine whether The
Republicans challenge Senator Bill
bo'S right to be seated, when they
take over control of Congress jan
uary 3.
Observers here doubt that Sena-
tor Bilbo is in much danger from
/ the Campaign Investigating Com
mittee, although its members left
here before they had time to delib-
crate on the testimony. It remains
to be seen what the Senate War
Investigating Committee will de-
velop at its hearings next week.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-The London
correspondent of the rightest

from Turkey that Soviet Prime

This dispatch followed by two

was subject to daily bulletins
from the Kremlin.
The London Star carried Wednes-
day in the column Star Mans
Diary" the following item:
Russians in London today were
as anxious as everybody else to hear
more about reports from Turkey
that Stalin's illness has now taken
a dangerous course.

even there, that the 68-year-old
leader, prematurely old through
strain of the last few years, is all
but an invalid. 1t is significant
that, for the benefit of Embassy
staffs, the Kremlin now issues bull
letins about Stains health. Only
a few people in London have been
told the full contents of them"
In London, a Russian press at
tache said that after the Star
column appeared he checked at the
Embassy and found no one who had
spoken to a Star representative.
I'VE have received no bulletins on
Stalin's health here, and have seen
none" this attache said. I'VE know
