DR.. Houghton said it would be

said, that further research will
show that such control is not

rain than would fall naturally.
If further research develops a
negative answer, he said, the

Rockville Man Held
In Criminal Attack

William K. Shoup, 20, Rock

Georges County police with rape
and assault on a 27-year- old
Mount Rainier housewife.
He was arrested several hours
after the woman reported she had
been criminally attacked early to-

Bladensburg tavern. Shoup was
held in the Hyattsville Jail with
out bond pending a hearing Mon
day in Hyattsville Police Court.
Detective Richard A. Pearson,
who with Pvt. Horace E. King is
investigating, gave the following
account:
The woman, who is estranged
from her husband, and a 19-year-
old girl friend went to a Bladens-
burg tavern "for an evening out. -
There they met two men who of
fered to take them dancing.
The two couples then went to
another tavern near Chillum
where they had several drinks
then left.
When the man who was driv.
ing started to turn off onto a
side road, the younger woman ap-
piled the brake, jumped out and
fled.
The driver then started to make
advances to the older woman, who
also got out of the car and ran.
The driver followed her, caught
her and forced her to return to
the car where he took knife
from the glove compartment and
threatened her. Then he at
tackled her.
The man then took the woman
back to the tavern near Chillum,
let her out of the car and drove
away.

called taxi from a service sta

A cold and dismal scientific fact

The fact: the weather will be

Sale Of Army Surplus

that the Army could have saved
millions of dollars by exercising
its "recapture" rights on war sur

The committee said yesterday
that the Army had purchased
from American importers some of
the 81 billion in surplus war goods
turned over by it and the Office of
Foreign Liquidation to the Ger

These goods were sold to STEG

Republican efforts to continue

Democratic support today.
At the same time, a demand for
abolition of the RFC came from
directors of the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The 45-member board Of the
business organization adopted a
resolution saying:
Facts disclosed by the Full

uncertainty and distrust concern
ing RFC procedure. Engaged as
we are in national mobilization

the integrity or general moral
level of the Government or any of

that they want to prolong the
inquiry for political motives, :"
Republicans disclosed they have
urged the Banking Committee to

charged that he insinuated on the
Senate floor yesterday that some
COP personages put pressure on
RFC but were spared possible
smearing at public hearings.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana said he would insist
that Senator Douglas give the
names of any Republicans who
might have been drawn into the
inquiry if, as Senator Douglas
said, Chairman Fulbright had
not leaned over backwards" to be

ConnoIIy Scheduled to

Booking Truman Powers
BY J. A. O'Leoy

The Senate appeared to be in
for another long round of debate
over the troopS-for- Europe issue
as it made plans today to take up
two resolutions on the subject.
Chairman Connally Of the For
eign Relations Committee was at
work this morning on the opening
speech he may deliver this after
noon, urging the Senate to indorse
the sending of four divisions now,
but not to tie the President S
hands if more are needed later.
Administration leaders would
like to settle the question in time
to give the Senate an Easter re-
cess starting late next week, but
close observers of the situation
see no chance for such early ac-
ton.
Two Identical Resolutions.
The unusual course followed by
the Foreign Relations and Armed
Services Committees in reporting
out two Identical resolutions will
add to the delay, and may produce
some strange alliances before the
fight is over.
There are two resolutions be-
cause the administration wants tc
conf1ne action on the troop issue
to the Senate. while most Republi-
cans-with some Southern Demo-
cratic support-want both houses
to vote on the issue.
AS a compromise, the commit
tees approved both resolutions
