days of debate would suffice to
dispose of the matter to the salts
faction of the bills sponsors. But
it isn't working out that way. In
dications now are that the vote
will not be obtained until next
week. Opponents believe, that
every day of debate lessons the
bills chances.
Apparently the bills advocates
have had the same idea. Aside
from the opening statement by
Chairman Ed johnson of the In
terstate Commerce Committee
when he brought the bill up
virtually all the speeches have
been made by the opponents. The
bills defenders have limited them
selves to questions. This was COM
pletely true up to Tuesday when
Senator Paul Douglas called at
tention to it as an extraordinary
fact.
Opposition Is Surprise.
There is reason to believe that
some of the opposition now being
heard has come as a surprise
While, for example, Senator Owen
Brewster of Maine was known to
be opposed to the bill, he was
hardly expected to make the de-
vastating attack with which he
held the Senates attention the
greater part of Monday after
noon. Nor were Senators KEN
and Donnell of Missouri credited
in advance with the thorough
preparation for the fight that
they have revealed as the debate
progresses.

I Criticism, with few exceptions
is directed at the method of the
investigation by the subcommittee
which so far neither has proved
nor discredited entirely some OF
the charges vented at the public
hearings.
Disservice to DR.. Jessup.
For instance. DR.. Phillip c.
Jessup, American ambassador at
large, made a masterful presen-
tation of his own case by reading
a carefully prepared document
setting forth not only the services
he has rendered the Government
of the United States, but also his
impressive background of Ameri-
caniSm.
Yet it must be said. without
prejudicing DR.. Jessup's state
ment in the least, careful analysis
of his presentation shows that it
was superficial. The fault is not
his but is that of the subcommit-
tee, which did not permit Senator
Mccarthy to ask pertinent ques-
tions.
If Senator McCarthy's request
had been granted it is very proba-
bic that the last shred of suspicion
would have been eradicated and
DR.. Jessup would have been COM
pletely cleared during last Mon
days hearing. AS it was the Re-

perfunctory questions, leaving

Export Permit Taken
From Swiss Firm Said
To Have Sold 10 Reds
BY the Associoted Press

The Government today cracked
down on a Swiss firm accused of
selling American chemicals to a
Russian satellite in violation of
United States export controls.
The Swiss concern, identified as
Paul Wormser & Co. of Zurich.
was stripped of export licenses and
prohibited from getting any
American goods that are subject
to export controls.
The action by the Commerce
Department was the first against
a foreign firm since this country
banned shipment of war poten-
t1aP' goods to Russia and Eastern
European nations in its sphere.
The department accused the
Swiss concern of importing an
American industrial chemical by
representing that it was to be
used by Switzerland and then re-
shipping it to Communist-domi-
mated CZechoslovakia.
The case involved purchase of
20 tons OF dioctyl phthalate in
America. The department said
MIR. Wormser falsely told the
American exporter, who was not
named, and the United States Le-
cation In Bern, Switzerland, that
the material was to be used in
Switzerland's paint and varnish
industry.

Jet Drops Heavy Bombs
Al 500 Miles Per Hour

LOS ANGELES - For the first
time in history, heavy bombs have
been dropped safely and accurately
from planes travelling at speeds OF
over 500 miles an hour.
North American Aviation company
said bombs weighing from 500 to
1000 pounds were dropped at alti-
tudes varying up to 0 1000 feet from
jet-propelled bombers.
The company said that heretofore
the highest speeds at which heavy
bombs had been dropped success
fully from al operational airplane
were $50 to 400 miles an hour.
Engineers said the value of high
speed bombers was nullified If
bombs tumbled or fell erratically,
because then accurate bombing was
impossible. In the B-45 from which
the tests were made the problem Of
air turbulence, causing bombs to
act erratically, is overcome by fold
ing or overlapping bombay doors
that slide upward inside the plane.
Thus the bomb falls almost directly
into the air stream.
In tests as many as twenty-seven
bombs we're dropped at a time, in
fast or slow SUGGESTIONS or in sal
vos.
The four-jet B-45, first flown in
March, 1947, will carry more thar
ten tons of bombs, has a service
ceiling of 40, 900 feet and a combat
radius of more than 300 miles,
which can be extended with drop
fuel tanks.
