lair Force 5 Dispute
with Magazine Sent
To Justice Department
By the Associoted Press

A controversy between the Air
Force and a Notwithstanding
the right to publish information
considered secret by the military
landed in the Justice Department
today.
The Air Force referred to the
Governments legal branch for study
the question of whether military
security was concerned when the
magazine Aviation Week printed
a story last month reporting that
the experimental rocket plane XS-1
had flown faster than sound at the
Muroc (Calif) air base.
The Air Force had refused to dis
cuss the story in any form.
Earlier, Secretary of Defense For
restal had invoked security regula-
tions directed specifically at keeping
secret data on the Air Forces high
speed flight work.
Robert Hotz, news editor Of the
magazine, told reporter a copy Of
the article was shown to an FBI
agent before it was published. As
serting that the present case is
continuation of q long standing dis
agreement over aviation security
policy, Mr.. Hotz said:
Aviation Week takes the stand
that the Air Force should adopt a
uniform and realistic security
policy"
Robert H. Wood, editor Of the
magazine, said on December al that
he had withheld the story from pub
lication for several weeks at the re-
quest of Air Force officials. He added
that he had decided to publish it
when he learned the Air Force was
preparing to release information
that the xS-1 had attained super
sonic speed. .ss2ts.
= An Air Force spokesman said no
such release was being prepared.
There was no offiial Immediately
available who could suggest what
lime the Justice Department iiyestf-
gator. might follow. A voluntary
censorship code. agreed to BY. the
Nations press and radio, ended with
the Japanese surrender in 1945.
The fact that the Air Force had
referred the issue to the Justice
Department came to light indirectly.
A terse announcement yesterday
morning said Secretary Of Air
Symington would hold news con-
ference. The subject was unspecified.
Late in the day second memo
randum to the press was posted. 1t
said the conference had been called
off, that Mr.. Symington had in
tended Ito discuss security matters
in connection with the XS-1," and
added graphically:
These matters have been taken
under study by the Department of
Justice which has requested the
postponement of the proposed dis
cussion."
An Air Force official later said
that "the publication of recent
XS-1 data in Aviation Week" had
been referred to the Justice De-
partment for consideration, but
that he could not say whether this
was the reason the department re-
quested postponement Of the sched-
uled news conference.
The magazine article said that
the XS-1 first flew faster than
sound more than a month earlier
with Capt. Charles Yaeger as pilot.
Later, it said. the speed was du-
plicated on several occasions by
Capt. Yaeger and two test pilots
of the National Advisory Commit
tee for Aeronautics, a governmental
reseach agency.
The speed of sound is estimated
to vary between about 600 and 900
miles an hour, depending on the
altitude and temperature.

Communists Will Seize Berlin
 On "X-Day"
(By Richard Kasischke)

BERLIN, (P)-A Liberal Demo- cratic newspaper here said today "X-Day" for achieving seizure of Berlinw has been fixed for some time after the November Presi- dential elections in the United States.
 The newspaper Montags Echo asserted the Russians have given German communists orders to step up riotous demonstrations to seize control of the city because Mos COW wants no four-power settle ment of the 80-day-old blockade crisis.
 A highly informed source in Moscow said last night resumption of four-power talks there on the Berlin crisis is quite likely" this week. The informant made this prediction after the return to the Russian capital of Francois Sey- doux, political and diplomatic ad- wiser to It. Gen. Joseph Pierre Koenig, French military governor in Germany.
 Until "X-Day", Montags Echo said, the communists aim to "seize every opportunity to promote riots, strikes and demonstrations" to worsen the local political situation.
 Some 100000 Germans assem- bled in the Russian sector of Der lin yesterday to hear communists harangue the United States. Amer ican armored cars patrolled the streets in anticipation of another march on the allied control au- thority building in the U. S. sector, but no disorders were reported.

Democrats Work To Stop States Rights" Revolt
(BY Jack BelD
OP) Political Writer)

President Truman's supporters counted today on a victory in Texas tomorrow to offset the spreading revolt that threatens to keep him off several Dixie state ballots.
 Truman forces were primed for an effort to squash an attempt of states rights packers to seize con trol of the party machinery at a state convention.
 The states right party already has qualified electors for Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of So. Carolina and Gov. Fielding Wright of Mis- sissippi.
 They will contest the Truman Barkley ticket for Texas'23 cleo toral votes-sixth largest bloc in the nation-even if they can't win control of the party machinery.
 The Truman camp made no se- cret of the fact it would like a Texas victory to counteract last weeks set back in Louisiana.
 The state party committees ac- ton there ruling MT. Truman off the ballot brought threats of a suit from the Democratic national com mittee as we'll as retaliation against the Louisiana politicians involved.
 William Primm, Jr., assistant to national chairman J. Howard Me Grath, called the Louisiana action "flagrantly dishonest and fraudu- lent" Republicans watched this

Nome Must Have Another Boat

NOME, (P)-Groceries were be- ing rationed in Nome Saturday as the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce appealed to striking maritime unions and government officials to arrange shipment of a boatload of winter supplies.
 Stores already have reported they are out of potatoes. One bak- cry was closed down because of lack of flour and the only other bakery is putting out a limited amount of bread which is not meeting demands.
 Stores said that groceries put out on a rationed basis may last a few weeks.
 The Chamber addressed it's tele- gram to Harry Bridges of the CIO longshoremen, President Truman, Territorial Governor Ernes Gruening and the Seattle chamber of Commerce.
 It said "This section will be without many necessities of life in the next few Weeks.' The chamber asked that one ship be permitted to bring in winter supplies about Oct. l, Since we are closed in for seven months each year"
 We must have a boat about Oct. l." the telegram said, ''to bring merchandise not available before that time from the various sections of the west and midwest states"
