It's not for sewing. but it's still

That's what Chairman Bloom
of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee says it is, and he ought to
know. He invented it.
Mr.. Bloom has been using the

had restricted circulation, branded
Mr.. Blooms substitute for gavel

Not so, said MIR. Bloom in mock

"I don't care what you call IT.,

it made especially for the purpose.
It doesn't have the ridges on the
outside to keep a needle from slip

Georgia, Iowa, North Dakota and
Wyoming.
In Harrisburg. Pa. Secretary Of
Mines Richard Maize declared his
States mine safety law has pro-
visions that. in many respects
are more rigid than the Federal
code"
I'VE can't enforce anything is
not enacted into law into Penn
sylvania. Mr.. M aize said. Fed
eral mine inspectors can make
recommendations but can't order
their recommendations to be
adopted"
An Alabama mining spokesman
said: "Mr. Lewis statement is
contrary to the facts in Alabama" :"
A. Everett Erskine Of the Iowa
Mine Inspectors Board said scme
of the Federal rules are unneces-
sary in the shallow Iowa mines.

tors would continue to 60 by the

But a special assistant Attorney
General indicated no effort would

The defense attorney also
argued, In behalf Of his motion
to dismiss that Mr.. Hiss could
not have Interfered with the op-
Grafton of the grand jury since
his alleged false statements were
made on the last day, that the
jury was in existence.
"The testimony, whatever it was
did not and could not have delayed
or obstructed justice" he said.
1t took little more than two
hours yesterday to impanel the
jury. Mr.. Stryker had exhausted
eight of this 10 peremptory chal-
lenges when he declared himself
satisfied with the panel. Mr.
Murphy, for the Government. had
challenged four other veniremen

In questioning prospective Jurors
Judge Kaufman concentrated yes
terday on ascertaining whether
they had any connection with the
Time-Life Corp, had ever worked
for the Government or felt any
prejudice for or against self-con-
fessed former Communists. It was
because of unsatisfactory answers
to this last question that many OF
the veniremen were dismissed fol
cause.
