WASHINGTON, June IA = R = Senators Byrd and Robertson today opposed the nomination of Martin A. Hutchinson of Virginia to be 6 member of the Federal Trade Con- mission. They contend Hutchinson is not qualified and that his ap- pointment by President Truman was political.

 This opinion was expressed by nearly every newspaper in Virginia that made comment when the nom- nation was first announced"

VAST CLOUD
 HANG50vER
 90. PACIFIC
Is of Mysterious 0rigin- Maybe from Atomic Ex-
 n-Whdt Caused It!

HONOLULU. June 14-R-A vast cloud of mysterious origin has blanketed 100000 square miles oi the Pacific. US. Weather Bureau Meteorologist R. H. Simpson said 1t might last day or week.
 At Wake Island 1000 miles west of Hawaii, the cloud rose to 16,0O0 feet. At Hawaii. near the eastern limit, it had 1000 foot ceiling.
 What caused 1t? Maybe windblown African desert sands, said Simpson. Or an explosive eruption down around New Guinea. Or--an atomic explosion.
 "A concentration of ions in the air could result in such condi- tion," Simpson explained. Ions are electrified particles jared loose when an atom is split.
 The Eniwetok proving grounds. where new atomic tests are being made this summer, lie about 600 miles south in the South Pacific.
 In Washington. US. Weather Bu- reau headquarters expressed in- terest in the reported haze. but said no details concerning it have been received from the Honolulu weather office
 Bureau specialists were skeptical of speculation an atomic explo- sion may have caused the cloud. They said they could recall no such development after US. atomic ex- periments in the Pacific.
 On the basis of news reports these specialists leaned toward the idea the haze might be connected with a volcanic eruption.
 The Atomic Energy Commission. following it's usual policy. declined to comment on speculation the cur rent haze may have been caused by an atomic dxplosiofi. if' s'''''''s'

WASHINGTON ' A sensational report on wire tapping in the na- tion's capital is now in the hands of the Justice Department, but for some strange reason so far has been suppressed.
 The report. prepared by the met ropolitan police, indicates that Washington. D. C., has been going in for the same police-state meth ods we are opposing in Europe. Two of the worst offenders are leading Republican senators, owen Brewster of Maine and Homer Fer guson of Michigan.
 The report, which resembles a detective-story thriller, tells how Senators Brewster and Ferguson tapped the telephone of Howard Hughes, head of Trans-World Air lines, when Hughes was summoned to Washington for Senate hear ing,
 There was not thing that Hughes said while in Washington that the snooping senators did not listen to. Not only was his phone at the Mayflower Hotel tap ped from the day he set foot in the capital, but the senators rented a room just above Hughes and dropped an electronic-induction microphone down an air vent to pick up conversations between Hughes and his lawyers.
 The mike" they used was so sensitive that it could pick up con- versations 700 feet away. These were all recorded on wax discs.
 Under the law, mans conver- sations with his lawyer are held privileged and cannot be revealed in court However, this made no difference to the two Republican eavesdroppers.

Architect and County Officials
Will Visit Court Houses to Get
Ideas about Space Requirements
In Orange County . New Buildins

Archie Davis, the architect;
Edward M. Lynch, the clerk of
the court; Ed Laws, the register
of deeds; and Ira Ward, the
county accountant and tax col
lector, will start this morning
on a tWo-day round Of visits to
court houses. They are seeking
information that win enable
them to decide on the very best
possible allotment of space, for
the keeping Of records, in Or
ange county's new court house.
For this building $250,OO0 was
provided in the bond issue voted
by the people of the county last
year.
(The phrase, new court
house." does not mean that the
present one, which is a fine ex-
ample of Colonial-style architec-
ture, is to be removed. 1t is to
stay just where it is, and the
exterior will remain unchanged
The travellers will go first to
Kinston, in Lenoir county, to
inspect the latest court house of
any considerable size built in
North Carolina. Next they viii
go to Wilson and then, probably,
to Roxboro in Person county. In
Wilson they will see a layout Of
modern photostatic equipment
used in reproducing deeds and
other records.
To determine how much space
shall be provided for the records
of each department, the county
officials have to estimate the fu-
ture growth of population and
also to take account of the
changes, in law and in business.
which have made ecord-making
and record-keeping different
from what they used to be. The
need of allowing for expansion
is illustrated by the fact that
the volume of records made in
the last 80 years, for keeping in
the Orange county court house,
is equal to the volume that was
made in the preceding 130 years.
The construction of the new
court house is expected to begin
this summer.

Kiwanians Hear Talk
On Western Germany

Kiwanis Club Tuesday evening
about his impressions of Ger
many during the four months
he was there last year studying
the teaching of social sciences
in German universities.
He said that Germany's geo
graphical position makes that
country the core of almost any
European problem, and that
Western Germany, with popu-
lation of 45,OO0,OO0, could not
grow enough food to feed itself.
The problem, he said, is further
aggravated by lack of adequate
housing.
The club adopted a motion to
dispense with its regular meet
ing April 25 and to attend a

President Hugh Jackson. Budg-

The Weather Bureaus
Station Is Moved

The Chapel Hill station Of the
u. S. Weather Bureau, which
has been on the campus of the
University since it was estab-
lished about seventy-five years
ago, has been moved to the new
filter plant out beyond Carrboro.
The moving job was done
Tuesday. AS far as the transpor-
tation was concerned, there was
nothing difficult about it. The
tiny house near Phillips hall, to-
gether with the equipment in,
was simply put upon a truck and
hauled off.
Setting up the station was
somewhat more complicated.
That was supervised by the U. S.
Weather Bureaus section di-
rector" Mr.. DeMots, who came
over from Raleigh for the pur-
pose. Under this direction the
equipment got a good cleaning
and was carefully tested.
