Truman Wants
 "Rubber-Stamp" Congress Elected

WASHINGTON, (P) - Three Republican Senators accuse President Truman today of seek ing the election of Congress which would rubber-stamp hls foreign policies without debate.
 But another COP Senator said the President seems sincere in his efforts to restore two-party coop eration in international affairs.
 MT. Truman told a United Ma tions group yesterday that "thiS time we are trying to elect a Con gress that believes in information al cooperation wholeheartedly."
 Senator Ferguson R.-MichJ, a strong supporter of most of the administrations foreign program. said the remark was one of "the most unfortunate" statements Mr. Truman could have made at this time.
 "I'm disappointed that the Pres ident is making foreign policy a party iSsue," Ferguson told a re- porter, What he really wants is foreign policy approved with a rubber stamp"
 Republican floor leader Wherry of Nebraska declared MT. Truman was making a political football" of the bipartisan foreign policy.
 ''He wants a rubber stamp of the Truman policies" Wherry said.
 Senator Knowland R.-CalifO also used the term rubber stamp" in his reaction to Mir. Truman's statement, adding: "I do not be- lieve he will get that kind of CO., operation from the Republicans"
 It was Senator Morse R.-Ore0 who went to the administrator defense. Declaring that Republi- cans are being consulted more and more about foreign affairs, Morse said the President appears to be trying sincerely to ''reestab- fish a working bipartisan foreign policy"

Premier SOphOcles Venizelos of Greece resigned today and a gov ernment of broader political rep resentation was reported being formed under the leadership of retired Gen. Nicholas Plastiras.
 Venizelos, the Liberal Party leader, had been criticized by U. s. ambassador Henry F. Grady because his government which held only so of Parliament's 25O seats, had left out important mid dle of road parties.
 Plastiras, who has been asked by King Paul to form a new gov ernment, is leader of the mildly leftist National Progressive Un- ion. The party ran third in the re- cent national elections.

After many years Of Fighting, the

Swedish Bearings
Manufactured For
Pa|oInar I e|eseope

STOCKHOLM. - The giant tel
escope on Mt. PalOmar, California,
the largest instrument of this type
ever built, is operating on 5000
Swedish ski antifrictiOn bearings,
which required nearly four years
of calculation work by the Com
pany's engineers, reports the ski
journal.
AS will be recalled, grinding of
the telescope mirror took eight
years following previous failure.
In view of the imperative need
for perfect balance as well as a
minimum of mechanical friction
the question of bearings proved a
major source of worry in plan
ming and construction.
Timed automatically, the 5000
bearings turn slowly, almost i'm
perceptibly, in accordance with
cOsmic time, with hitherto unat-
tanned eXactitude. An error of on
ly a few hundredths of a MILL
metre would mean a deviation of
kilometres in the faraway reach
es of the universe. A motor no
larger than a tennis ball, having
an effect of fraction of one
horsepower, moves the 5OO-tOn
tube in any direction of the firm
ament.
The potion 18-foot mirror is sup
ported by 1,037 antifriction bear
ings holding it in position when
moving while at the same time
permitting contraction or expan-
sion.
