Representative Van Zandt, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania angrily
interrupted during Mr.. Keenan's
questioning of Mr.. Worth on 9
meeting between Mr.. Worth anc
Mr.. Van Zandt in the rotunda o1
the Capitol in May.
It was on this occasion Mr.
Worth testified, that he gave Mr..
Van Zandt the anonymous docu-
ment in a sealed envelope. Shortly
after Mr.. Van zandt told the
House of reports he had heard
that politics figured in the high
priority given atom bomb-carry-
ing B-36 by the Air Force and the
inquiry resulted.
Just a minute" snapped Van
Zandt. II rise to a point OF order.
I want to know what right any
one has to inquire into the activi-
ties Of a member of Congress in
this hearing"
Chairman Vinson directed Mr..
Keenan, to proceed.
I'm. making a point Of order, +"
Shouted Van Zandt. -
II overrule your point Of order. "
Mr.. Vinson growled.
Then to Mr.. keenan,. the chair
man said, go ahead"
In sharp questioning Mr..
Keenan, prodded Mr.. Worth to
name the "unscrupulous men" Mr..
Worth. mentioned in the memo.
Mr.. Worth finally produced only
the name of Floyd Odlurn, head
of the Atlas Corp, which controls
Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft. Co..
makers of the B-36.
The memorandum linked Mr..
Odlum to charges Of politics con-
nected with the Air Force B-36
program. Mr.. Odlum is due to be
heard later.
Mr.. Worth said yesterday he
delivered copies of the document
to Representative Deane, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, and Sen
ator Bridges. Republican. Of New
Hampshire, and that Mr.. Martin
gave his copy to Senator Tydings,
Democrat, of Maryland.
In addition, he said, he placed
an envelope containing a copy on
q table in the rotunda of the Cap
itol during a conversation with
Mr.. Van Zandt and a news
paperman. On this occasion, he
explained, he intended to deliver
1t to Mr.. Van zandt, but was not
sure who took the envelope. The
Pennsylvania has denied he ever
had possession of copy OF the
paper.
Denies Deane Initiative.
In questioning by MIR. Vinson
MIR. Worth repeated his testimony
of yesterday that Representative
Deane had requested from him
some data on disturbing reports
as to the status of the Navy ir
overall defense planning. But, he
emphasized, Mr.. Deane did not
give him the idea for the memo
randum.
Mr.. Worth said he, already had
been working on the memo on his
own initiative before the visit
from Mr.. Deane.
He said he made an ap-
pointment with Mr.. Van Zandt
because he wanted member Of
the minority party also to have q
copy of the memorandum. and the
Pennsylvanian's statements indi.
