Hutchinson 10 Oppose
Byrd in First Primary
Battle in ! Decades
BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 27.-Mar-
tin A. Hutchinson, Richmond law
yer and a leader in the so-called
liberal" faction of the Virginia
Democratic party, announced to-
night he would seek nomination in
the August Democratic primary to
the seat now held by Senator Byrd.
Mr.. Hutchinson's entry, giving the
State its first Senatorial primary
contest in more than two decades,
was accompanied by a statement
appealing to thousands of Virgin
ians deeply interested in keeping
alive democracy as a living and
vital force for the good OF all our
people"
Senator Byrd announced his can
didacy for denomination more than
week ago.
This is the first time that Mr..
Hutchinson has sought an elective
Office. He was Secretary of the
Commonwealth during Senator
BYrd's administration as Governor
and was chairman of the State
Compensation Board during the
price administration. He also served
as secretary Of the State Democratic
Central Committee for several years.
Old Critic Of Byrd.
Mr.. Hutchinson long has been
critic of the Democratic leader
ship of Virginia and particularly
of Sapafor R,,rd " r,,o- ~ -.
dent supporter Of president Roose-
velt during his entire administra-
ton and critical of Virginia opposi-
ton to Mr.. Roosevelt in Demo-
cratic national conventions.
In his announcement, Mr.. Hutch
inson said he would be "the can
didate of no one man, organization
or faction" He took note by i'm
plication, Of recent criticism of
Senator Byrd and other Byrd or
ganization candidates by organized
labor representatives, and added
This means am not the candi-
date OF organized labor, but I shall
welcome its support along with
that Of unorganized labor, the in
dustrial and white collar worker
and the farmer"
Statewide Fight Impends.
The Hutchinson entry means a
Statewide battle in primary
which already includes congress
sional contests in the Second. Third
Fifth and Sixth Districts and a
prospective intraparty battle in
the Eighth. The candidates so fa1
have engaged in little active cam
paigning, but this is expected to
come along in June and July.
Reports were received from a mum
Der of areas this week of heavy pay
ments of poll taxes-which must be
paid by May to qualify a voter
How much of this was due to Or
ganized labors drive to qualify its
members and how much to the
Democratic organization's effort tt
mend its political fences is uncer-
tain.
Republicans have named Leste,
S. Parsons, Norfolk, to run for the
Senate in the November election
COP leaders have indicated thai
there will be Republican candidates
In other congressional districts.
In addition to the Republican and
the Democrat, therell be at least
one independent in the field fol
Senator Byrd's seat. Howard H
Carwile, Richmond attorney, has
announced that he will be can
didate as an independent.

LOS ANGELES, April 27.-The
Army Air Forces removed oflcial
secrecy today from its Flying Wing
bomber, the XB-35, a radical de-
sign which dwarfs the B-29 and has
an announced range about one
fourth greater than the worlds
distance record.
The bomber was designed and
built by Northrop Aircraft, Inc, at
Hawthorne, Calf. 1t is expected to
fly in a short time.
The XB-35 is shaped like a
boomerang, with no fuselage or
exposed engine nacelles. Crew, en-
gines, fuel and armament are
housed inside the wing. Crew quar-
ters are pressurized.
Has 172-Foot Span.
The plane spans 172 feet and has
a center width of 81 feet 6 inches.
From the center, the wing tapers
sharply to end widths of 9 feet 4
inches.
Although its normal gross load
is 10000 pounds, it is designed to
fly with an overload up to 209 900
pounds. The empty weight is $4,000
pounds, and the useful load-avail-
able for fuel and bombs-is from
$1,000 pounds at normal gross to
10000 pounds at overload.
(By comparison, the B-29 has
a wingspan of 141 feet and Is
SO feet long. It's normal gross
weight Is around 1876 900 pounds
and it's overload weight 100000
pounds)
The only performance data on
the XB-35 which the AAF released
was its range of more than 10000
miles. This compares with the world
distance record of 8,l98 miles set
with B-29 last November.
Will Influence Design.
John K. Northrop, president Of
the aircraft company, described the
XB-35 in a statement as one of a
new family" Of airplanes adaptable
to civilian as we'll as military uses
and one which he said will have
a profound influence on all airplane
designs and on accepted perform
ance standards"
He said that the wing design
offers a tremendous advantage in
"lift" or useful action of the air
when compared with conventional
types. The ratio of lift to drag in
the Flying Wing. he said, is around
140 to 200 pounds for every pound
of drag, while in ordinary types of
the best design it is from 80 to 100
pounds OF lift for each pound OF
drag.
The result, he said, is that the
Flying Wing can carry one-fourth
more useful load, can travel one
fourth farther with an identical
fuel load, and can fly at least one
fifth faster than conventional
plane of similar weight and horse
power.
5000 Horsepower in Engines;
Each of the four Pratt g. Whitney
Wasp major engines turns a pair
of rotating four-bladed pro-
pellers at the rear of the wing.
The engines are the most power
full radials in the world, with an
emergency rating of 5000 horse
power for the xB-35, although the
engine has been announced as be-

action by the ". N. He has in

results and that Russia wants re-
suits now.
Fears Wife Is Gravely Ill.
Col. Hodgson said that his de-
cision to return to Paris was made
suddenly this afternoon. He said
that he was afraid his wife's ILL
ness was grave and that he felt he
must return.
Mr.. De La sColina worked steadily
today trying to produce a solution
on which the council may act unan-
imously when it reconvened.
There was a possibility that the
council might become snarled Mon
day on the question of whether the
Hodgson resolution was a proceed
ural or substantive matter. If pro-
cedural, vote of seven of the II
members of the council would carry
it. If substantial, Russia by a veto
could kill it, for the charter gives
the right of veto on substantive
matters to anyone of the five big
powers-Russia, Britain, France,
China and the United States.
Mr.. De La Colina professed op-
timism on settlement of the issue
even though no word of a change
of heart has come from the Rus
slams.
The Mexican was approaching his
10 colleagues in the council on the
basis of the breakfast table resolu-
ton put before the council in its
brief session yesterday by Col.
Hodgson.
Aims of Resolution.
This resolution, on which every
delegate except Russia was more or
less agreed, would do three things:
l. Take note, as France and Po-
land desire, of condemnation of the
Franco regime of Spain by the San
Francisco conference of the United
Nations, by the first General Assem-
bly, of the United Nations in London,
and by the delegates in discussions
since the question arose in the
Council.
2. Resolve the Council to make
further studies to determine whether
the situation in Spain endangers
peace and, if so, what to do about it.
3. Authorize subcommittee of
five Council members to examine the
statements made before the Council
concerning Spain, receive further
statements and documents, conduct
such inquiries as the subcommittee
deems necessary, and report back to
the Council as soon as practicable.

TRUMAN MAY HAVE
COMPROMISE PLANS

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL R-
An American compromise plan to
end Arab-Jewish strife in Palestine
was reported unofficially to have
reached President Truman's desk
Monday only a few hours before
Britain served notice she will crack
down on future illegal entries to
the Holy Land.
Acting Secretary of State Dean
Acheson hurried to the White
House as anxiety mounted here
over the necessity Of easing the
potentially explosive mid-Eastern
situation.
Acheson Silent
Acheson himself remained silent
on the new developments-oevelop-
ments made even o poignant
by the arrival off the b~arricaded
port of Haifa of two more battered
ships crowded by more than 1900
Jewish refugees.
Sources in close touch with the
State department expressed little
surprise at the British announce
ment that 'uncertifcated' refugees
to Palestine would be taken to icy
press or elsewhere" and housed in
camps until their future has been
decided.
