imparted to high officials in Wash ington about 12 days before he made it. The suspicion is that the Russians learned about it at the same time.
 Byrnes phoned President Tru- man about 12 days in advance, told him the Russians were on the rampage, that nothing could be done to satisfy them. He therefore proposed that the United States and Great Britain try to set up a German government which could be won over to Democracy and which could serve as a bulwark against Russia.
 President Truman, who has come to put complete trust in Byrnes' judgment, agreed. Whether or not the Russians tapped the transatlantic phone, or whether they had other ways of knowing what was going on is any ones guess Maybe it was just CO., incidence.
 Anyway, it was shortly after this that Foreign Minister Molotov made his sudden, mystery flight to Moscow Simultaneously, inspired stories began to leak out of Poland that Russia would take Silesia away from Poland and give it to Germany. Obviously this was Ger man-bait to counteract the offers Byrnes was going to make to Ger many.
 If Russia goes ahead with this i policy of "The Soviet giveth and the Soviet taketh away" it will cause the toughest showdown so far experienced between Moscow and Washington.

 So in the end, CIO leaders set tied for $1750 a month increase. This was far below the $50 fi- gure tentatively discussed by Had dock with Schwellenbach and Con- way before Harry Bridges had wir- ed him to mind his own business.
 On June 26, just twelve days af- ter the S17.50 award was fixed, CaptSin Conway. who, as War Shipping Administrator, operated TO percent of the nations ships, completely ignored the S17.50 for the CIO and agreed to S22.50 for AFL seamen.
 Obviously this meant bitter war between the CIO-AFL rivals Also it meant trouble with the wage stabilization Board, which had just set the increase at $l7.50. However Mir Conway blundered ahead just the same
 So later, when the Wage Stabili- zation Board scaled down the AFL's S22.50 to the CLOS Sl7.50, the AFT struck. The whole tie-up could have been avoided by a little more gov ernment oresight-largely on the part of Captain Conway.

 It is encouraging to note the renewed agitation for an investigation by the Special Senate Campaign Investigating Committee of the charges against Sen aor Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi The Senate cannot refuse seat to Senator merely because it doesn't like him or the views he expresses, some people seem to think it should do in the of Senator Bilbo, but neither it afford to ignore serious charges that obviously warrant Investigation.
 In the case of Senator Bko specific and far reaching charges now at hand. They have been made by former Representative Ross Collins who opposed Bbo in the Mississippi primary. Collins accused Bilbo of receiving S25000 from Mississippi contractor flagrant violation of Federal and State law Another charge against Bilbo which falls into somewhat different category is that he influenced the primary by statements designed to Negro voters away from the polls and by melting possible violence
 The Senate Campaign Investigating Committee was Set up to do job So far it has done virtually nothing these any other cases called to its attention. One of its members-Senator Edwin C.

Army InstoIIs X-Roy Gear
 To oTest Shells

Washington (UP)-The Arm, has announced installation of g 20, 900, ,000-volt ray machine at the Picatinny, N. J., arsenal for the ex- animation of artillery shells and bombs.
 Ordinance experts said the ma chine permits them to look though l2 inches of steel, revealing any imperfections.
 The Allies-C Chalmers Manufactur- ing Company made the X-ray machine with the assistance of University of Illinois scientists. A similar giant -ray is in use at the Rock Island, H., arsenal and a smaller unit will be installed at the Aberdeen, Md, proving ground. A special building designed for the X-ray machine has been erect ed at the Picatinny arsenal. A wide iron ring revolves around the X-ray machine carrying shells and bombs for examination.
 The purpose of the examination is to detect 'cavitations" or air pockets in the explosive charge of the shell caused by improper load ing. These cavities are extremely dangerous because they may cause premature explosions.
 Thet X-ray machine is of such high voltage that it is extremely dan gerous. It is surrounded by a re- enforced concrete wall two feet thick.
 A 42-inch thick concrete wall is in front of the machine and be- hind the ammunition to be photo graphed. This will stop the direct rays of the machine,

 The Navy revealed that. the atom bomb, falling from a height of about six miles, is expected to sink only one ship. Damage to other ships will depend on the height from which the bomb will be deton- ated, the Navy said. The bomb drop will simulate an attack with the rest of the ships set in approxi- mate battle formation.
 Rear Admiral c. L. Bland, deputy chief of the Navy Bureau of Ships, said he believed that atomic de- donation may affect the Navy's fu- ture type of ships but 1t will not "sink" the Navy.

attempts to explain why, every time Gladys gets thirsty, she dips her head, drinks her fill, and then sits upright until she wants another drink.
 William L. Laurence, the only reporter who ever saw an atom bomb explode, can tell most of us things about atomic fission that are so deep we can't even understand what he explaining, not to mention understanding the explanation. He looked long at Gladys guzzling per- formance and gave up.
 I'm reporter" he said, land I hope good one. I can report what Gladys does. But why? I don't know. It's beyond me-"
 Howard Blakeslee, who like Laur- ence has won a Pulitized Prize for science reporting, blinked at Gladys for while and started for his own cabin.

 David Dietz, another top-rotch Pulitzer prize winning science writ CT, cautiously explained that the felt on Gladys beak and head soak up water, which causes her to over- balance and sit up until, in some way, her balance is upset and she dips for another drink. Get that? You would if you watched Gladys for while. The only trouble is even we scientific illiterates who just squeaked through Physics in high school had gotten that far. Where we stopped, Dietz, the ex- pert, could not carry on.
 Gladys proud owner, Morris, says he doesn't know any more about his thirsty penguin than that his wife gave her to him, and he gave her drink in a Philadelphia bar, and the patrons there took one look and went on about their business.

 After the plenary session had ploWed tediously through minor economic matters, Byrnes conferred for 30 minutes with Bidault and for similar period with Bevin.
 Trieste obviously was the topic. It is the key to the conference and the possibility of a 21-nation peace conference this Summer. A formula for Trieste, even if only a tenn porary expedient, will prevent a conference breakdown. Despite eagerness on all sides to break the deadlock, there was as yet no con- crete assurance of success.
 Bidault told his colleagues he would miss today's plenary session because he had to present his new French cabinet to the Chamber of Deputies. Maurice de Couve de Murville. his deputy, will substitute.
 Yesterdays plenary session dealt with minor Italian economic issues, avoiding all the controversial poli- tical questions. The ministers agreed on three items, disagreed on one and apparently made progress on two others. An attempt by Byrnes to discuss the Dardanelles was blocked by Molotov.
