The agency official commented
that I'VE are going to make a
conscientious effort to apply Sec
ton 416 of the law whenever pos
sible" in order to keep surplus
food stocks moving.
One hitch, however, in any wide
scale attack on disposing of Gov
ernment-held food surpluses is
that the law forbids donations to
foreign countries regardless of
how much they. may need the
food.
COP Attacks Brannan.
The new donation program now
under study would be another in
a series of actions aimed at get
ting the Government out of the
surplus food muddle.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan two days ago authorized the
disposal of as much as 10000, 900
bushels of surplus potatoes. Tney
would be dyed blue and sold back
to farmers at one cent hundred
pounds. Farmers are supposed to
feed them to their livestock or use
them as fertilizer.
Whether hogs and cattle will
take to blue potatoes remains to
be seen. The dyeing is done to
prevent the potatoes getting back
into commercial channels.
Yesterday two House Republi-
cans accused Secretary Brannan
of unbelievable incompetence and
mismanagement" in connection
with the potato program.
In a joint statement, Repre-
sentatives Werdel of California
and Fellows of Maine said Mr..
Brannan, stuck with millions of
dollars in surplus potatoes, has
endeavored to place the blame on
the agriculture support program,
the Congress, and the farmers"

the committee had any informa-
ton on whether Fuchs was a
Communist. He replied that this
would be considered later.
Senator Mcmahon said Gen.
Groves indicated he had no
doubt about Fuchs opportunity of
knowing vital information"
But there was no indication by
Senator Mcmahon or others of
what information Fuchs is sus-
pected of passing on to the Rus
SLAMS.
Gen. Groves told reporters be-
fore testifying before the COM
mittee that the British scientist
possessed enough information. If
it were passed on, to speed Rus
sian atomic work by much more
than a year.
Senator Mcmahon said Gen.
Groves may be questioned in an
open session after the committee
reviews his testimony.
I'VE hope to give the people as
much information as possible as
we go along within the limits Of
security" the chairman, explained.
Concern is Unconcealed.
Members of the committee made
no effort to conceal their concern
over the atomic information that
may have been slipped to Russia
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland, said after hearing part
of Gen. Groves testimony that in
his opinion it was "a very serious
matter" A.
Every STEP" he added, must be
taken to prevent its recurrence"
Representative Durham, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, vice chair
man of the committee, said there
were indications that many per-
sons may be questioned in the
investigation.
He said the committee discussed
whether open or closed hearings
should be held. He added that it
was considered possible that some
of the people believed to be in
volved in giving atomic inforina-
tion to Russia might try to get
away If their names were revealed
publicly.

that some checks were on a "spot
basis" and that a close check on
all employed on the project could
not be undertaken.
The Senator was asked how
many of the British mission were
given access to top-secret atomic
information. In reply, he read an
excerpt from letter from DR.. j.
Robert Oppenheimer. wartime
head of the Los Alamos project
that developed and exploded the
first atomic bomb.
Members of the United King
dom mission at Los Alamos," the
Oppenheimer letter read, played
an integral part and a very i'm
portant and responsible one in
the actual wartime development
of atomic weapons. 1t needs to
be emphasized that even in those
areas of laboratory work in which
the mission played no direct part,
it nevertheless had complete &C
cess to all information and all
reports"
Senator Mcmahon said the
letter had nothing to do with the
Fuchs case and was written last
July when the committee was re-
viewing atomic relations of the
British, Americans and Canadians.
No Special Scrutiny of Fuchs.
Senator Mcmahon was asked
why no special scrutiny was given
Fuchs during his stay at Los
Alamos. He replied that in some
cases special security measures
were applied" But. he added. they
were never applied to Fuchs.
He explained that such special
measures were used to check on
members of the project as a whole
on a spot basis.
Senator Mcmahon said he asked
Gen. Groves whether. in hind
sight, it would have been better
for him to have demanded sup
porting papers for the clearance
of Fuchs. "The General" the
Senator added. "said that in all
frankness it would have been
better.
In talking with reporters Gen.
Groves made, it clear that he did
not consider he had the authority
or the means of further checking
on the British scientists after
they were "vouched for by the
British authorities.

Need for Airport Stressed.
Authority for construction of
such small ports already exists in
law and should not be compro-
missed by language regarding the
major airport problem, the Com
merce official said.
The department held that a
new airport was necessary because
of findings of department experts:
THAT the Washington National
Airport could not be expanded
because further construction there
would encroach on the channel
In Potomac River. 2-That An
drews Field could not be used
because it will be required "ex-
clusively" for military purposes
within the forseeable future:
and that ruled out use of the
Friendship Church Airport near
Baltimore, for various reasons.
The Commerce Department re-
ported its studies of the past year
indicated no doubt of the need OF
additional airport facilities here.
The studies, he added, show that
during a consecutive 10-hour
period each day there is an aver
age daily number of aircraft
movements per hour which "is at
or in excess of the existing and,
foreseeable instrument capacity
of the port.
Unable to Handle Increase.
"As result of this situation" !"
Mr.. Whitney added, "the sched-
uled air carriers, during instru-
ment conditions, are required to
delay, or fail to complete, sched-
uled trips. These delays and in
completed trips result in direct
increased costs to the carriers. in
creased costs and inconvenience
to- the passengers and shippers,
and delays in handling the mail" ;"
During 1948, on which the lat
est calendar year figures are
available, the Washington Air
port handled 114,168 scheduled
air carrier operations. In this,
Washington was exceeded only
by the Chicago Municipal Airport
and by La Guardia Airport in New
York.
Applying a formula developed
from CAA studies. the Commerce
Department anticipated that by
1855 Washington would require
facilities for handling 159,835
scheduled air carrier movements
and for 224,633 aircraft move
ments of all types.
"Since the Washington National
Airport, to all intents and pur-
poses, is saturated by existing
traffic" the Commerce report
said, "it obviously will be impos-
sible for the airport to handle
the 40 per cent increase in air
carrier movements which will oc-
cur between now and 1885,

department concluded, would pro-
= vide no permanent solution.
Technical Changes Suggested.
Special legislation covering the
problem here was requested, the
Commerce Department said, even
though construction and opera
ton of airports already was
authorized by the existing CAA
statute. This, the department
said, was in keeping with the
policy of the President to seek
specific authority in cases involv-
ing construction of major met
ropolitan airport.
The Commerce Department sug-
gested several technical changes
in the johnson bill, one concern
ing contracts and leases and an
other to require that the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission be consulted before there
was any final decision on the site

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Wrinkles are the bane of a
woman's existence from 80 on.
Let us investigate the causes of
wrinkling. In the first place the
muscles are taut and firm when
we are young and as we grow older
they become fiabbier unless we
take definite steps to avoid this.
The thinning of the layer of
fat between the skin and the
muscles is another factor. Then
we also have weathering and dry
ing out of the skin itself. from the
outside.
What can we do about this?
In the first place we can exercise
the muscles Of our faces by taking
special facial exercises. Second,
we can lessen the Weathering proc
esses by lubricating our faces
daily with a fine penetrating oily
cream. We should also remember
that malnutrition, fatigue and a
generally low state of health af-
feet the texture of the skin and
the tone of the tissues. Loss Of
sleep will give you circles which
will lead to network Of fine
lines about the eyes.
All of these daily rituals sound
superficial but their sum total in
prolonged youthfulness is over
whelming. It is the day-to-day
care of health and skin and figure
and hair which counts up; not the
few times when you are careless
about what you eat. not the one
time in two weeks when you leave
your makeup on overnight or fail
to lubricate your epidermis, not
the one day Of exercise you miss.
Our future silhouette and per-
sonality are nodded by day-to-d day
habits. Eat correctly. live COR
rectly. and think correctly for
g days out of 10 and you will
escape the unpleasant results Of
habitual neglect.
Try this exercise for firming the
muscles Of the forehead. Place
the palm of one hand against the
top of the forehead. Press hard
against the forehead as you pull
the muscles of the forehead down
toward the nose. Hold for a few
moments. Relax. and repeat 10
or Is times day. Always cream
your face before taking facial
exercises.
Remember. too, that your facial
expressions play a big part in
whether you are more wrinkled
than you should be. The habit
of pulling the corners of the
mouth down, of lifting the eye
brows, of squirting, all etch lines
on your face.
If you would like to have my
facial exercises send stamped,
