against the Yugoslav leader
and his regime.

blood thirsty dog of Fascist
Gestapo breed"
The Communist Party news
paper Pravda. and the gov
ernment organ Izvestia carried

ment on the recent Soviet note

ion from China.

than 500 further dismissals will
have to be made and they ex-
pressed the hope that normal en-
ployment attrition will bring the
dismissals to below 500.
The Army Department was or
dered to reduce it's civilian staff
here by 1856 employees. Some of
these dismissals already taken
place, Army officials said.
There will be practically no
dismissals among Air Force De-
partment employees. A total cf 81
workers must be dismissed at An

House Votes 10 Recess
Friday for Is Days;
Senate Must Concur
Upper House Hos No Plan
To Quit Itself, However;
Money Bills ImperiIed

The House voted today to take
a 25-day holiday. starting Friday
and ending at noon September 81.
The recess resolution was
adopted by a voice vote with only
a few scattered and laughing
noes" 1t now goes to the
Senate, which must approve it
before the House officially can
start it's vacation.
Senate approval is expected
even though the Senate itself has
no plans for a recess.
Speaker Rayburn said. however,
he could not forecast what the
Senate would do. He added that
he had been informed that Sen
ate Majority Leader Lucas would
not oppose it.
Money Bills Up for Action.
Should the Senate approve and
then fail to act on a number of
pending appropriation bills, sew
eral Government agencies might
not be able to meet their payrolls
after September Is.
Congress recently authorized a
number of agencies to meet their
payrolls until September Is, al
though the regular appropriation
bills have not been passed.
If the Senate continues to delay
action on the money legislation,
another resolution extending the
authority of Government agencies
to continue spending would be re-
quired. Such a resolution could
not be adopted while the House is
in recess, as it would require ac-
ton both by the Senate and House.
The proposed recess was criti-
cized by Representative Rich, Re-
publican. of Pennsylvania. He
said it was "a lot of folly"
Alternate Plan Ready.
Should the Senate refuse to
accede to the House plan. an alter
nate program providing for an
unofficial House holiday will be
proposed.
This would provide for two
House meetings weekly until Sep
tember 81 with an understanding
that there would be no business
transacted. Just a handful of
members can hold such meetings.
All they do is meet and adjourn.
Officially they are sessions Of the
House.
The constitution prohibits either
chamber from recessing for more
than three weekdays at a time
without the consent of the other.
While the House is out OF ses-
sion, the Senate is expected to dis
pose of such House-passed bills as
the arms aid program, reciprocal
trade extension and several ap-
preparation measures.
BY the time the House returns
on September 81, these bills may
be ready to go to Senate and
House conferees' to adjust differ
ences between the two chambers.

Mai. Gen. Herman Feldman
suspended quartermaster general
today told the Senate "five-per-
center" inquiry that If he had
known how James v. Hunt was
operating. Hunt never would have
come to my office"
Taking the witness stand for the
second day to answer committee
questions, Gen. Feldman said he
understood that Mr.. Hunt was
charging fees for his services as a
management counselor. but he did
not understand that he was work
ing on a contingent fee basis.
Gen. Feldman said he was on
the closest of terms" with Mr.
Hunt personally, but that with
only one exception his only ex-
perience with Mr.. Hunt at the
Quartermasters Corps was that
Mr.. Hunt put the names of his
clients on the bidders list.
He testified that he met Mr..
Hunt while the latter was liaison
officer between the Quartermaster
Corps and Congress during the
war.
Gen. Gregory Questioned.
After questioning Gen. Feldman
for nearly two hours. the Senators
turned their attention to 1t. Gen
Edmund B. Gregory. former War
Assets Administrator, now re-
tired, to inquire about an ex-
change of letters which appeared
to give the impression that Gen
Gregory was aware that Mr.. Hunt
was serving private clients while
a WAA consultant.
Gen. Gregory told the COM
mittee he would not have con-
doned MIR. Hunt dealing with
private clients while almost con-
tinuously employed as a WAA con-
sultant and he thought such q
practice was "unethical."
Before Gen. Feldman left the
stand he was asked by Com
mittee Counsel William P. Rogers
if he had requested Mr.. Hunt to
contact Mr.. Hunts friends at
the Capitol concerning bill on
the retirement of officers. Mr..
Rogers proceeded the questioning
by asking Gen. Feldman if he
was familiar with rules forbidding
lobbying. by Army; officers.
Diary Excerpts Read,
Gen. Feldman replied that he
had not asked Mr.. Hunt to talk tc
any Congressman. He acknowl-
edged that he had talked to a
member of Congress but denied
that Mr.. Hunt arranged this
meeting.
Mr.. Rogers then read excerpts
from Mr.. Hunts now famous diary
reporting that Gen. Feldman called
Mr.. Hunt to ask If it was possible
for MIR. Hunt to contact his friends
on the Hill. that Mr.. Hunt called
Representative johnson, that Mr.
Hunt then called Gen. Feldmar
to announce that he would re.
ceive a call from the member o1
Congress.

Navv Aide Admits B-36 Memo;
Surprise Witness Says He Acted
Alone on Tip That Began Inquiry
Cedric R. Worth's
Name Barred After
Stormy Session
By Chris Mothisen

Cedric R. Worth, a special as
sistant to Undersecretary OF the
Navy Dan Kimball, admitted to-
day before the House Armed
Services Committee that he was
the author of the anonymous
document" which touched off the
inquiry into Air Force procure
ment policy on the six-engined
B-36 bomber.
Committee Chairman Elnson
produced Mr.. Worth as a surprise
witness after a stormy session at
which Representative Van zandt,
Republican of Pennsylvania. de-
manded that the source of the
document be determined at once,
and Special Counsel Joseph B.
keenan, refused to proceed until
the matter was settled.
The investigation Of charges
that the Air Force decision to
concentrate on the B-36 as its
prime strategic bomber had been
clouded by favoritism in high de-
fense circles for the maker, Con-
solidated Vultee Corp. arose from
the circulation of the unsigned
paper. Mr.. Van Zandt, a men,
ber of the committee. referred to
the rumors in speech in the
House May 26.
Says He Had No Instructions.
On the stand. Mr.. Worth told
the committee:
/. That no one told him to write
the memorandum. and that it was
done without the knowledge of
Navy Department officials.
2. That Representative, Deane,
Democrat. OF. North Carolina had
suggested. however. that he pre-
pare some information on dis
turbing reports as far as the Navy
was concerned"
3. That he had conferred with
Glenn L. Martin. Baltimore plane
manufacturer, in preparation of
the memorandum and. that Mr..
Martin had given copy OF it to
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland.
4. That he. MIR. Worth. had
delivered a copy to Mr.. Deane
and another to Robert McCord,
a newspaperman now working as
congressional secretary. the lat
ter delivery being made in the
rotunda of the Capitol in the
presence of Mr.. Van zandt. In
response to a question by Mr..
Van Zandt, Mr.. Worth admitted
.2e never had seen the memo
r--ndum in the hands of the Penn
iy,vania Representative
Mentions a "Lt. Ingram"
S. That Mr.. Deane had asked
lin CMr. WORTH if he had any
objection to having the memo
randum shown to Speaker Ray
burn, and that he said he had
none.
6. That a "Lt. Ingram" Of the
Navy, not otherwise identified,
talked with the author about
preparation of the document.
The appearance of Mr.. Worth
overshadowed the testimony OF
Gen. Bradley. chairman OF the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said
he was in completed agreement
with the Air Forces emphasis on
the B-36 as an intercontinental
bomber.
Questioned by Mr.. Vinson. Gen.
Bradley said he concurred with
radio remarks by Secretary OF the
Army Gray that the Importance
of strategic bombing should not
be overemphasized in the public
mind to the point that ground

Inc Democratic National Com
mittee. on recommendation of its
Credentials Committee, today
ousted States Rights members
from Alabama. Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina.
The national committee, meet
ing at the Mayflower Hotel, ap-
proved the Credentials Commit
tees recommendations without
debate only a few minutes after
they we're received.
The committee members ousted
are Marion Rushton of Alabama.
j. B. Snyder and Mrs. Hermes
Gautier of Mississippi, William H.
Talbot of Louisiana and Mrs. AL
bert Agnew of South Carolina.
AS expected. William M. Bolye,
jr., was elected national chairman.
succeeding Senator j. Howard Nc
Grath of Rhode Island.
Then the committee started de-
batting whether to retain H.
Dwight Morrow as Texas national
committeeman. as proposed by the
Credentials Committee.
Morrow Kept by Voice Vote.
When the argument was over,
the committee kept Mr.. Morrow by
a voice vote. It tabled a motion
to unseat him offered by Bryon c.
Allen of Minnesota.
The committee went along with
only half of a South Carolina
compromise. 1t made sure in the
process that the name of Gov. ].
Strom Thurmond, the States
Rights presidential candidate,
came of its membership rolls.
Gov. Thurmond already had re-
signed.
Senator Burnet Maybank was
approved IN his place. The COM
promise worked out in South Car
olina had called for retention of
Mrs. Agnew.
Mrs. Agnew says she voted the
Democratic ticket in 1948 although
she was inactive in the campaign.
But the Credentials Committee
accused her of letting her name
be used by another political
party"
Senator Maybank jumped to his
feet to remind the national COM
mittee that he was elected by the
South Carolina State Executive
Committee on condition that Mrs.
Agnew be kept on as committee
woman.
Embarrassing Position"
SenAtor McGrath commented
that the South Carolina commit
tee could not direct the national
committee and could merely sug-
gest line of action to it.
Senator Maybank said he was
in "a rather embarrassing posi-
ton"
Later he told reporters:
Il haven't taken my seat and I
am not going to take my seat.
We were Jointly elected. I take no
orders from anybody but the
State committee"
After throwing out States
and seating Mr.. Morrow
the committee filled a Wisconsin
It elected Carl Thomp-
son of Stoughton to succeed Rob-
ert lehman, who resigned to ac-
cept a Federal judgeship.
Senator McGrath was handling
the gavel for the last time at a
national committee session. This
afternoon he becomes Attorney
General.
He had made his resignation
effective at 10 am. CEST)-the
time the committee was supposed
to meet. He presided anyway, al
though it was As minutes later
before the committee got going.
