Officials Here Doubt
That XII Plane Has
Attained 100 M.P.H.
BY the Assoeicted Press

Government officials familiar with
the Air Force XII rocket test plane
said today it has reached con-
siderably more than half way to its
ultimate goal of 100 miles an hour
and 10000 feet altitude.
But they were inclined to question
the Interpretation given to a speech
in Cleveland by Lawrence D. Bell,
president of the company which
built the plane, that it has gone the
whole way.
The only official statement on the
XII from the Air Force is that 1t
has gone hundreds of miles ian
hour faster than the speed OF
sound" At the high attitudes (above
$4,000 feet where the XII performs
best, the speed of sound is only $50
miles an hour.
Mr.. Bell in addressing the Cleve-
land Technical Societies Council,
said the XII was designed to hit the
1.7O0 miles per hour and the 10000
foot marks and then disclosed that
the plane has been eminently "suc-
ceSsful in all its tests"
Unoff1cial information is that the
little planes best speed has been
just under 1000 miles an hour, and
its best altitude something over
10000 feet.
The limiting factor thus far has
been available power. The present
J-l models use pressure tanks to
force the liquid fuel into the four
rocket-flring chambers. Because of
space and weight needed for such
tanks, the XII burns up it's fuel in
around minutes at full power.
The second model-the X-lA-will
have pumps to feed the fuel and
should be able to fly at full power
for 4 minutes. 1t then is expected
to reach its peak performance.
The plane has made one takeofF
from the ground under its own
power, but in all other cases 1t was
hauled aloft In the belly of a B-2a
and cut loose above $4,000 feet. The
plane glides to a landing after using
up its fuel.

Republican Charges
Trade Pact Program
Hurts u. ). Defense
BY me Associated Press

Representative Reed, Republican,
OF New York charged today that the
administration is ruthlessly push
ing its reciprocal trade agreements
program through to the detriment
OF our national defense"
His complaint set off an uproar
in congressional tariff hearing.
Bitter words were exchanged as
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee's Democratic majority re-
jected Mr.. Reeds motion to call
spokesmen for the military estab-
liShment to testify on the national
defense aspects Of the American
watch industry.
| Mr.. Reed described the action of
the Democrats as "reprehensible'
and said the administration is
afraid the American people may
find out" the disastrous fact" that
the Nations defense is being hurt
in the foreign trade program.
Chairman Doughton shouted back
that he was "astonished" and that
Mr.. Reeds statement has no foun-
dation.'
! Recalls G. .. p. Procedure.
! He explained that Democrat have
taken the position that no one shall
be called or given special request
to testify during the tariff hear
ings, but the committee is hearing
witnesses who ask an opportunity to
present their views
Representative Cooper, Democrat
of Tennessee told Mr. Reed the
present tariff hearings are entirely
different from the star chamber
proceedings on tariffs conducted
behind closed doors by Republicans
last year, when the public and
press were barred"
Representative Forand. Democrat
of Rhode Island said that in Mr.
Reeds statement national security
is not involved but pure politics"
The committee is considering q
bill embodying the proposal OF
President Truman to repeal the
tariff act passed by the Republican,
controlled Congress last year and
restore the full force of the old
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act
The President said the Republican
act hamStrung negotiations with
other nations to reduce tariff anC
other trade barriers.
/ Roll Call Halts Dispute.
I'VE heard testimony yesterday,
Mr. Reed said in formal state
ment, ito the effect that the admin
/ istration'S trade policies as conduct
ed by the State Department are
destroying the watch and clock in
duStry in this country"
This industry is of major inn
portance to the successful main
! tenance OF strong military estab-
lishment. During the past war it
produced precision instruments
which were essential to our aircraft
industry.
Its experienced craftsmen had an
important part in the creation of
the atom bomb. Without the skill
'of this industry Americas capacity
to defend itself is seriously cur
tailed.
To-day there are only three watch
manufacturing companies remain
ing in this country, due to the dis
lcouraging policies of this admins
tration; one of these is in the hands
of receivers" .~a .ls-y.s x -

Deal With Britain Denied.
Toward Trans-Jordan the Ameri-

that no deal with Britain was in
