Second Bikini A-Bomb Trial
 ToBe JuIY25
Admiral Says First Test Is Miss" But "Not Just
 FireUaCker'

ABOARD USS MT. MKINLEY, July 5.-Vice Adm w. H. P Blandy today set July 25 as the tentative date for the detonation of Bikinis second atomic bomb, this one "an attack against hulls." It will be exploded slightly under the surface of the lagoon.
 A full-dress rehearsal was sched- uled for July 19
 The Chief O. Task Force One told newsmen he had sealed down his original estimates of a 1O0-foot tidal wave resulting from the sub surface blast. This would be enough to send green water over Bikini Island.
 Blandy expects some form of ra- rioactivity cloud to result from the spray blown up from the underwa- ter explosion Contamination of ships by the spray and by solid water tossed onto their decks are thptCltQ IO DC d 4dSlOA III NSieJ ing their return for inspection.
 The Admiral. in a reappraisal of the airborne drop, termed it a miss of appreciable dimensions because of wind and other uncon- trollable factors but asserted, how ever, that nothing went wrong with this test to prevent it from being a complete success"
 AS greater refinementS in calcula- tions are made, he said, the air borne bomb will be shown to be stronger than first estimated and closer to the Nagasaki bomb in potency.
 Tt was not just firecracker," Blandy declared.
 The Admiral said the test was a success because the target fleet was arrayed to take care of the possibility of miss. He cited ships heavily damaged as an example of how a good cross section of a modern fleet can be affected-the battleship Arkansas, the heavy cruiser Pensacola, the light cruiser Sakawa, a submarine and trans ports.

SENATE WON'T PASS ON BILL
 TIL MONDAY
Appropriations for Defunei Agency Protested
 by Bridges

WASHINGTON, July 5,-Another weekend without price controls be- came certainty today when Ma jority Leader Barkley tD-Ky) de- layed until Monday Senate action on a bill to revive OPA.
 Senator Bridges tR-NH tried to keep the Senate appropriations com mittee from even talking about new money for the stricken but still fighting OPA.
 Bridges took the stand that OPA is legally dead He said therefore the committee cannot even hear testimony by Price Administrator Paul Porter on a $106,000,000 OPA appropriations bill
 Chairman Mcclellan D-Tenn) Bridges told reporters, delayed an immediate decision.
 Porter called on Congress to re- wise another bill, extending OPA for a year, to get it more closely in line with President Truman's recommendations
 Porter Dissatisfied
 His cry of dissatisfaction with the compromise measure worked out under the leadership of Senator Barkley apparently disturbed it's supporters.
 Advised of Porter's statement, Barkley grimly told reporters: T have no comment" Barkley apparently had counted ion the support of both Porter and President Truman for the new bill, drafted as substitute for the OPA calender MT. Truman vetoed las. week The Kentuckian said he will attempt to bring the measure before the Senate as soon as possible. It may be delayed until next week --4

 MAY BE STARTED
Congressional Criticism Takes on Angry Mood-
 Recent Developments

WASHINGTON, July 5. - Angry Congressional criticism of wire tapping" spurred prospects today of full-scale inquiry into the prac- tice of some government depart ments of recording telephone con- versations with lawmakers and others.
 Denunciations came from Demo- cratic as well as Republican House leaders following the disclosure made at a Senate war profits in- vestigation earlier this week
 Speaker Sam Rayburn tD-TeX) told newsmen of his great dis pleasure at such secret transcript tions, and Republican leader Joe Martin (Mass) termed them a mean practice"
 q don't know why the bureau- crats should have more power on the telephone than the FBI," Mar tin added, noting that Congress has condemned "wire-tapping" for criminal prosecution purposes.
 Meanwhile, an influential member of the special House Committee set up to investigate executive agen- cies which exceed their authority" said that group is considering a thorough investigation.
 ssrTTIoic ot ic 1i,,aitn6 tn the War Department" the Com mitteeman told reporters privately. Many other agencies have been doing it right along and imagine their files are filled with trans criptions of telephone conversations from Congres5men We might want to find our under what authority they have been doing this.
 There propauiy aren't many Congressmen who, at one time or another, haven't made legitimate requests of the government agen- cies in behalf Of constituents. While innocent enough, these conversa- tions can be made to look damag- ing when revived on photograph record later"
 The lawmakers wraIn was di- rected primarily at the War De- partment, which turned over to the Senate War Investigating Commit tee the record of a conversation be- tween Chairman May tD-Ky of the House Military Committee and an Army ordnance officer in 1943

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It may be news to the Congressional colleagues of the Chairman of the House Mili- tary Affairs Committee, but to cer- tain war contractors who made mil lions from the Army, pious Rep. Andrew Jackson May of Kentucky was known as "Yiechel.'
 Congressman May proba ly doesn't know it, but "Yiechel" is Yiddish and it means anybody" This undignified name happened to be the code name which executives of the Erie Basin Metal Products Company used in referring to their chief Congressional friend in Wash ington. Without him, it is believed the Erie Basin Company never could have made it's lush war pro- its.
 As head of the powerful Military Affairs Committee, ''Yiechel' May was in a position to be extremely useful. He could influence promo tions of Army officers. He could have certain officers kept in the USA instead of being sent over seas. And he could have officers transferred who did not cooperate with Erie Basin.
 At one time, Erie Basin execu- tives even had a list prepared of different officers they had had promoted or kept in the USA as a result of "Yeichel' Mays influence. It totaled about fifty men.
