gine.
The spokesman emphasized that

a drone airplane of the type used
experimentally during recent
years.
There is no provision for pilot
in the plane. The spokesman said
the missile has been tested at
Holoman Air Force Base at Ala
mogordo, N. Mex, and at Cocoa.
Fla.
There was no information i'm
mediately available on the size OF
the bomb load which the missile
could carry.
There have been persistent re-
ports in recent months, however
of the perfection of compact
atomic bombs which could be car
Iried in comparatively small craft.
The missile is launched from
the ground rather than dropped
from the belly of large plane,
as has been done in the past
during experiments with earlier
models.
The spokesman was asked if
the missile was intended for stra-
tegic bombing of enemy cities or
for tactical use against troops
and installations on a battlefield.
He said he could not answer
that directly but called attention
to the official announcement that
the unit would be under super

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13.-A French
doctor popped up today with a
novel idea for helping ease the
worldwide housing shortage.
He suggested that institutions
for the aged be made so attractive
that some old people now living
in apartments would give them up.
Said DR.. r. Wibaux, honorary
director of public health in Paris:
Housing problems are acute in
|all countries. Many apartments
are occupied by old people who
use only part Of the rooms, but
nevertheless refuse to move or
sublet. although they are unable
to keep the apartment in order.
1T is possible that some old
and underprivileged people would
agree to move if they were Of

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey OF New
York, President Truman's Repub-
lican opponent in the presidential
race of 1948, was due for White
House conference today to report
his observations to the President
on a recent trip to the Far East,
including the Korean battle front.
The New York Governor, whose
foreign policy adviser, John Fos-
ter Dulles was one of the prime
movers in the Japanese peace
treaty. was invited to Washington
by the President for a discussion
of Pacific problems. He was ex-
|pected to cover in thumbnail fash
ion his views on the major poll
tical, economic and military issues
dominating the area, against the
background of thousands of miles
of travel, and numerous consulta-
tions.
Gov. Dewey reached the Capital
last night. His White House visit
was scheduled at noon. Mr.. Tru-
man is holding news conference
at 4 o'clock at which he may go
into their conversation at some
length.
First Visit for Dewey.
While President Truman has
frequently had former President
Herbert Hoover to the White
House. this will be the first visit
during the Truman Administra-
ton OF the titular head of the
Republican party who twice has
|unsuccessfully sought the presi-
|dency. He made the first race in
1914, when Franklin D. Roosevelt
was elected for the fourth term.
The President has, however,
crossed paths once with Gov.
Dewey since the acrimonious cam
paign three years ago, when he
called the COP challenger his
little shadow" and was accused
by the Governor of indulging in
"coast-to-coaSt mud-slinging."
The last time they met, was at
a Gridiron dinner just after the
1948 campaign. They have en-
countered each other on previous
occasions. however, and always
get along well.
On arrival here, Gov. Dewey
said he had heard nothing of
reports that he might become
Secretary of State. and when
asked If President Truman might

Set UE
To End Log-Jams
On Military Orders
Will Be Used Only for
Urgent Armed Forces
And Atomic Work
BY The Associated Press

The Government today set up a
super priority to break production
bottlenecks in urgent military and
atomic programs.
The National Production Au-
thority, announcing it's new ok
priority rating, said it hoped il
will break an increasing number
of log-jams in which vital military
orders are stalled in plants over
loaded with other priority orders
that are equally entitled to
preference.
The agency said the new pri-
ority is IAN emergency device,
strictly limited in use," to be
applied by the armed forces only
when needed to assure completion
of highly critical munitions
contracts.
A special headquarters unit in
NPA will have sole power to grant
the new rating. If the Army, for
example, ran into snag in the
tank program, it would go to NPA
for permission to use the ok
symbol on orders for tank parts
and materials.
Orders so marked would get the
right of way in every factory, over
riding other orders which carry
the present standard "DO"-or
defense order-priority rating.
AFL DenOunces New Law.
Meanwhile, the AFL today de-
nounced the new economics con-
trolls law as "a fraud on the

Troops Use Flame Throwers.
| Allied troops with fame e-throw-
ers and bayonets captured six
vital peaks yesterday in bitter
local fights that ragged east of
Kumwha to the vicinity of Kan
song on the Sea of Japan coast.
The battleline in the east is
roughly IS miles north of Parallel
SO, old dividing line between North
and South Korea. The fighting
of the past few days has pushed
Allied positions forward as much
as 31a miles in some sectors.
On some of the heights, die-hard
Reds were shot or burned to death
in stone bunkers that sometimes
had only one opening-a firing
slit facing the oncoming Allies.
The fighting for the peaks
erupted four days ago.
On the rolling hills and plains
of the western front, action was
slow. Allied patrols scanned Red
positions for signs of a strike from
their built-up forces there.
Associated Press Correspondent
Stan Carter reported that at least
250,000 tank-supported Commu-
mist troops were believed in posi-
tion on the western and west
central fronts for a possible thrust
at Seoul, South Korean capital.
He said there are no signs that
a Red smash is imminent but that
there was speculation the Com
munists might try a drive this
week end, when the Korean moon
is full. In the past, Reds have
chosen the nights of full moon
for attack.
Most sources, Mr.. Carter said,
doubted the Reds plan a major
attack soon. Their present mis-
sion appears to be defense, not
attack.

has been no indication that the

A District Court jury of six men
and six women today convicted
Sidney Big Sid" Stromberg on all
three counts of an indictment
charging him with robbing Gam
bier Emmitt Warning of $26.500,
and robbing and pistol whipping
Warnings brother in law.
The panels decision was read
to the court from a verdict sealed
yesterday at 4::35 pm. The jurors
deliberated 88 minutes at the close
of the two-day trial. Their ver-
dict was sealed and held over until
today because Judge Alexander

wanted to check individually or
the members sentiments since ar
unidentified juror today indicated
to a United States deputy mar

In the poll, however, all the
Jurors announced guilty" ver-
diets on all three counts. Joseph
M. Decker, 81, an unemployed
engineer of 80 Danbury street
Sc, was foreman.
Attorney Ingram, who remained
beside the impassive defendant
during the mornings proceedings,
said he feels the judge should have

which juror had raised the ques-
tion. Mr.. Ingram added he may
appeal on this point.

Immediately sent back to District

Judge Holtzoff had instructed
the panel to consider only three
of the four counts in the incident,
since one of the counts duplicated
another for technical reasons.
Charges at Issue.
These charges holding a total
maximum penalty Of II to 40
years, were at issue:
The armed robbery of 5000 and
a wrist watch from William P.

Corp. of st. Louis get RFC loans

rejected applications three times.
John E. Toole of New York City.
a former RFC and Small War
Plants Corp, official, who was
treasurer of the st. Louis company
in 1949, testified he attended the
meeting in the Mayflower Hotel.
He said he did not then know
that Mr.. Finnegan. who was In
ternal Revenue collector al the
time, was associated with the COM
pany as an attorney or in any
other capacity. He added. how
ever. that he assumed" that Mr.
Finnegan was interested in the
loan matter because of the num-
erous questions he asked at the
hotel meeting.
Opposed "PresSuriZing."
Mr.. Toole declared that he pre-.
lviouSly warned fellow officials of
the company that it would be "ex-
|tremely poor taste" to use any
outside influence or "pressurizing
of political nature" in trying to
get RFC approval.
An earlier witness today, j.
Frank Williams, veteran RFC
Washington examiner, described
Mr.. Toole as a one-time IS ,600-a-
year SWPC examiner who went
to the Lithofold Corp. in 1914 at
an $500 salary as treasurer. That
was shortly after the company OBJ
tanned an SWPC loan of $1,671,- :
600.
Mr.. Toole. according to Mr.. Will
liamS, handled those loan nego-
tiations while with the SWPC.
When Mr.. Toole took the stand,
he disclosed that he had been
with RFC for about 10 years be-
fore going with SWPC. His only
connection with the RFC loans to
the st. Louis company, he ex-
planned, was as a company Of
fetal who spent considerable time
in Washington trying to get ap-
proval of the $500 in loans.
Had OfficiaIs to Luncheon.
Mr.. Toole related, on the basis
of personal diary entries, how r.
j. Blauner, president of the st.
Louis company, assigned him in
the fall of 1948 to handle the loan
application to RFC. He told how
he had several RFC loan officials
as luncheon guests at downtown
hotels for discussions of the ap-
plication.
He insisted. however, that he
urged approval strictly on the
merits of the proposition and did
not favor using any outside in
f1uence.
After a favorable start in late
1948, the negotiations apparently
begged down, Mr.. Toole continued.
He noted diary entry of Janu-
ary 19, 1949, saying that Charles
Griffin. an RFC examiner, tele-
phoned him from Washington to
report on the matter.
Mr.. Toole said Mr.. Griffin in
dicated that Chauncey Dodds, a
key official in the loans division,
had said that "if this loan is made,
it will be solely because the RFC
directors want to make it,"
Mr.. Griffin, according to Mr..
Toole. said at the same time that
he did not favor granting the
loan.
Subcommittee members asked
Mr.. Toole whether he still is EN-.
ployed by the st. Louis company.
He explained that, despite his
title of treasurer, he never signed
