(continued from first pagsO
it was purely imagination on the
part of some reporter"
Puzzled Over RumOr
Earlier the senator's secretary
at Millsboro announced that he
was unable to understand what
started the rumOr that he had been
threatened with bodily harm for
accusing racketeers of tax eva
sion.
Il have confirmed no such story
to anyone" Williams said through
the secretary.
Published reports said "a we'll
placed source" had revealed the
threats. Congressional aides of the
senator said they also were mysti-
fed by the reports.
Senator Williams has carried on
investigations which uncovered tax
",S reaching into the Bureau
Of Internal Revenue and the JUS
uce department.
The Associated Press on We'd
nesday carried the story of the un-
identified "well-placed source"
who alleged the seantOr had been
threatened.
When asked about it by the news
service, the seantOr did not direct
ly deny the report, but said Don't
be asking me about it. Nobody
will ever get confirmation of such
statement from me-"
The informant, who asked not to
be named, said the threats def
nitely were made but that Williams
had refused to consider them ser
iOusly.
The informant said the threats
grew out of a series of speeches in
which Williams named big time
gangsters and TaCketeers who he
said got leniency after evading
federal income tax payments. The
senator questioned whether the
average citizen could get such
gentle treatment.
His disclosures to the Senate
told of reduced penalties being
granted to gambler Frank Costello
Philip F. Kastel, a Costello assO-
ciate; Harry Gross, star witness
in New YOrk's current bribery
trial of police officials; AL (Scar-
face) CapOne and other members
of his old gange, including Jake
! GREASY Thumb) Guzik and Al's
brother. Ralph.
Although refusing to talk abOu
the alleged threats, Williams told {
reporter he planned to make more
/ disclosures about racketeers
/ taxes in a supplemental issue Of
the Congressional Record due oUt
about August 10. The senator
would not say who would be in.

Trade Board Group

Educators al Dinner

More than 100 foreign bust

Cites Vast Influence.
Mr.. Kane told the group edu-
cation, as it is practiced in our
public schools, is one of the most
important elements of the Ameri-
can way of life. The modern
school. he said, in many instances
has more to do with forming at
titudes on the part Of young
people than does home life.
IF these ,youngsters-the great
est asset of our city and Nation
and all mankind come out of
school with false impressions and
wrong ideas. they may well be-
come liabilities" Mr.. Kane said.
Speaking in French on behalf
Of the visiting teachers, Mr.. Mar
cel-Adrian Henon of Cairo, re-
piled that he was happy to visit
America at home and at work.
Material and Spiritual Aid.
I'VE are especially happy" he
said, ito realize that not only do
you aid the European countries
through the ECA in a material
way, but you are also able to as
sist us and give us leadership in a
spiritual way, as we have had
ample opportunity to notice dur
ing our stay"
The educators are in Wash
ington on one of a series of trips
as part of the 26th annual eco
nomics course in New York City.
They represent Switzerland, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark, Holland,
Belgium. England. Italy, Spain,

reason; the nose will take a dive
or start climbing.
What is really happening is
that you are building up more and
more drag or resistance from the
air." he continued. THE faster
you fly, the more and more engine
power is needed to burst through
that mountain barrier of air.
"As one reaches speed near that
Iof sound-subsonic speed-one
begins to notice the strange and
peculiar things that happen to
the controls. This is the tell-tale
indication that one is approach
ing the threshold of the sound
barrier"
This was the danger period for
pilots who experimental first.
Human skill, human strength was
not enough. All the man power
of both hands, fighting at the con-
Itrols, could do nothing once the
dive had started or the wing had
dipped.
Now the new British device-a
hydraulic syStem-is used. Once
the plane starts to pitch and roll
as 1t scents the sound barrier, the
pilot can alter the trim of lateral
control on ailerons and of longi-
tudinal control on elevators by
using the hydraulic power avail
able to him in the DH-11O, and
in our newest supersonic day
! fighters.
Once the pressure Of power
operated controls is relentlessly
applied, the great turbulence of
the airf1ow is fought and con-
trolled, and the plane sails
through the barrier without dam
age.

Convention Round Up
By JACK BELL

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago, P)-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower surged into the lead Thursday in his slam bang battle with Sen. Robert A. Taft for the Republican presidential nomination.
 Helped by other presidential as- pirants, Eisenhower bowled over Taft in two vital preliminary vic tories Wednesday night. in the seating of contested delegations from Georgia and Texas.
 By the strength of his forces displayed, the five-star general of the army appeared to have pull ed within striking distance of the first presidential nomination for a professional military man since Ulysses S. Grant won the prize and the presidency in 1868.
 Taft lost Georgia by a 607 to 531 vote, and Taft's supporters elected not to oppose the seating of a Texas delegation favoring the general.
 This made the new lineup in the Associated Press tabulation of delegates:
 Eisenhower 514, Taft 486, oth- CTS no, uncommitted 96
 In the Georgia contest, Taft showed he has rock bottom sup port of about 531 delegates toward the GOA votes needed for the nom- -ination. EiSenhoWer's strength was more difficult to pinpoint. AL though his side boiled 6O7 votes, these included 101 publicity com mitted to Gov. Earl Warren of California and former Gov. Har- old E. Stassen of Minnesota.
 It was evident that Stassen and Warren could provide the win ming margin to Eisenhower if they chose.
 Sen. William KnoWland told a reporter California will keep it's 70 votes behind Warren through as many ballots as it seems likely that the Californian might emerge as a compromise candidate.
