Since coming back to Washing

big Oxson Hill estate, former
home of Sumner Welles, once I'm
der-secretary of State, big farm
in Virginia, and among other
things, a downtown Washington
business building at 1743 L. ST.,
N. W., "just around the corner
from everything" Here he lives
most of the time close to his Off
ces which now deal with revolu
tionary new kind of auto, "The
Mighty Mite" which he points out,
is lighter and stronger, and will
do more things than a jeep. Mr..
Maloof is a director and a large
investor in the producing COM
pany.
His office is also near a group
in which he is greatly interested,
and to whom he is drawn by ties
of kinship. These are the people
who comprise the legations of the
Arabic countries in Washington.
In so many instances he has serv-
ed as a contact man in bringing
about introductions between and
for them.
He is interested in race horses
and is keeping them on his farm,
where also he is building unique
collection of art treasures.

where she resides.
l had the good fortune to take
the lady out to dinner and found
it was not long before her table

maiden ladies'. None of them used

return to the hotel in what she
said was her usual method-on a
street car, but none being in sight
for the moment over-ruled her in
favor of a cab, which we took ar

she presented me to a gentleman

contradictions rather disturbing.

and later was deputy director Of
the Works Projects Administra-
ton under Harry Hopkins,
top Roosevelt adviser and con-
fidant.
Before the hearing opened Mr..
Williams said: THE subcommit-
tee seems to be concerned mostly
with smearing the Roosevelt
New Deal, with which I was
privileged to be connected. Also,
as president of the Southern
Conference Education Fund, I
have opposed and will continue
to oppose segregation and dis
elimination"
Red Tells Of Financing.
The fund was called the sue
cessor in an essential sense" to
the Southern Conference for HUI

by former Communist Paul
Crouch of Honolulu, Hawaii.
Mr.. Crouch said yesterday the
group was organized and fl

the Communist Party from 1925

II hold nothing against those
poor people who shot us. They
were more sinned against than

The 35-year-old Republican

Asked about his campaign
plans, Mr.. Bentley said he would
file when the time comes.
"As for publicity-all that has
been done for me-"
Mr.. Bentley said he had re-
f1ected considerably on the needs
for tighter security in Congress
and was convinced at least two
things were necessary-better
screening of visitors and junk
ing of the patronage system in
the Capitol police force. He said
both an electric eye for detect

considered.

Mr.. Bentley thinks he was shot
"by the guy" standing to the
right of Mrs. Lolita Lebron, the
only woman in the quartet of
Puerto Ricans who fired from
the gallery to the floor. But he
doesn't think he was picked out
deliberately. for he had not faced

fore the shooting.

Mr.. Bentley said he retained

he was in the ambulance.

said. ''They were talking of

Mr.. Bentley said he has been

from the tug of the sutures and
hoped to leave the hospital by
the end of the month. He will
remain in Washington with Mrs.
Bentley. who is expecting q baby

Telling of the many messages
he has received, Mr.. Bentley de-
scribed one from a woman in
Japan whom he had never heard
Of. She inclosed two American
dollars to be used 'for ice cream,
or milk or whatever he needed"
Another letter that touched
him was from a 12-year-old St.

Two other witnesses yesterday
were Leo Scheiner, 43, an at

new weapons and air power and
reductions in manpower, prin.
cipally in the Army.
Gen. Ridgway earlier this week
refused to tell Senators In open
session whether he was satisfied
with the II per cent slash in the
Army's manpower which win
bring about the dropping three
combat divisions. He asked. to
be heard in closed session.
Much Of his speech today fol-
lowed the same line of thought
that the Army would continue
to play "a vital role" in warfare
in the future.
II do not mean to underrate
the tremendous contributions of
air and naval forces in hating
attacking ground forces" the
general said. But in the final
analysis, the advance of power
full ground forces with their sup
porting air could not be halted
without powerful ground forces
I mean a powerful Army--in the
lineup"
He recalled the 1944-5 military
campaigns in Italy and pointed
out that despite the fact that
the Allies had air superiority,
German forces still remained in
the field.
"A more recent example was
in 1850, when nothing stopped
the North Korean drive south
ward from the 38th parallel un-
til we threw in strong ground
forces" he continued.
A future war, he admitted,
would be different in that there
would be weapons of tremen-
dously greater destructive power.
But we have valid ground
for believing the Soviet would
have similar weapons" he de-
clared. And we can assume he
would achieve considerable sur
prise by striking with little or no
warning. 1t comes down to the
fact, recorded over and over in
military history, that when both
contestants get improved weap-
ons, the weapons tend to strike
a balance"

u. 5. Has Air Power
For Little Wars, Plus
Soviet, Twining Says
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 49,
Gen. Nathan Twining declared
last night that the United States
now has enough air and atomic
power to deal with little wars
and any big Russian threat ST.
multaneouSly.
The Air Force chief said also
that this Nations allies have
been assured and her enemies
warned that Gin the future we
may not limit the application Of
air power in response to agrees
sion as in the past"
Gen. Twining said in a speech
before the Los Angeles World
Affairs Council that the much
advertised military new look"
was simply planning ahead for
two or three years. He said there
had been new looks at air power
in the past and that there will
be others in the future.
Concentrate on Quality.
Gen. Twining said that United
States military leaders had re-
viewed American strategy at this
time because 1.-THE crisis in
planes" is past and the military
forces can now concentrate on
improved performance rather
than on the problem of numbers.
The air chief said that an
other factor in the new strategic
look was that this country may
be less willing to tie down large
numbers of American ground
troops in local actions against
masses of Communist man
power
Emphasizing the increased
rate of delivery of new and mod
ern airplanes, Gen. Twining said
that the first production line
B-52 all-jet heavy bomber rolled
out of the Boeing plant at Seat
tie, Wash, yesterday. and that
this huge bomb carrier will reach
a mass production basis this
year.
To Keep "Red Fellow"
He described the bomber as
"the thing that's going to keep
that Red fellow in his place"
There never has been any an
nouncement of the number OF
the big bomberS on order.
The plane is powered by eight
powerful Pratt Whitney turbo-
Jet engines. It has been de-
scribed by air officials as faster
than Beings BAT medium jet
bomber. The BAT is a more
than 600-mile- an-hour" per-
former.
The B-52 length of 156 feet is
so more than the BAT, and the
wing-Span of 1875 feet is about
10 feet more.

Ridgway Praises
Stevens, Declares
Full Story Not Told
By John a. Giles

Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway de-
clared today the country will be
proud of Secretary of the Army
Robert T. Stevens when the "full
story of unfolding events be-
comes known"
It was the Army Chief of
Staff's only reference in a speech
at the National Press Club to the
Secretary. who is now embroiled
in a blazing row with Senator
Mccarthy Republican, of Wis
conSin.
Gen. Ridgway has not made
any public comment on the con-
troversy heretofore. The Sec
rotary and his chief legal adviser,
John G. Adams, have handled
the. affair alone and left most
OF the, uniformed personnel on
the outside.
The general devoted most of
his time to defending the Army's
role in military planning.
But near the end of his adj
dress he asserted:
1--WE are proud of our high
princiled Secretary. Robert T.
Stevens, of whose integrity, cour-
age and devotion to duty the
country will be deeply proud
when the full story of unfolding
events becomes known.
1.-The Army is an essential part

come again, whether it be large
or small. it will finally be won

Conahas JobS
IT WASN'T until after helicopters
in Korea taught a hundred differ
ent lessons in military mobility
that the Pentagon gave some back
ing to the oonvertiplane. which
promises to do the combat jobs the
helicopter can do but do them
faster and farther. For instance:
ferry troops and equipment to
strategic points. no matter how
rugged the terrain; rescue downed
pilots or surrounded troops from
behind enemy lines; fly liaison mis-
sions ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore;
evacuate wounded from front lines.
In case of atomic attack against
an island such as Manhattan.
convertiplanes would be invalu-
able in rescue operations.
Convertiplane designers still
have a lot of work to do. And they
disagree on which of the various
designs will best fill the bill. But
on one thing they're in complete
harmony: any helioopter devotee
who says the oonvertiplane is a
hybrid with no future ought to
have his rotor examined.
The convertiplane, they're con-

pleasanter because the bothersome

eliminated. The convertiplane. in
addition, will have an important
safety advantage over the conven-
