board. This board re-evaluated
existing evidence and heard new
evidence. It requested resin
terrogation of those individuals
who had given evidence against
Mr.. Chasanow. This was done
and it Is noted that the board
stated in its findings that those
informants who were re-inter-

given derogatory information
against Mr.. Chasanow either
failed to corroborate their orig

to produce specifics Of earlier al
legations.

the grave injustice done to Mr..
Chasanow by the original state

civic and patriotic activities, his
exemplary family life, the high
esteem in which he was held
by his former photographers

many years. his active religious
life and the high esteem in
which he is held in his COM

by Mr.. Chananow's normal civic
activities and for no other pur-

included associating with known

to Moscow today declared the
Soviets had openly and explic-
lily" attempted to prevent rat
ification Of the agreements by
calling a multi-nation confer
ence which convened in the
Russian capital this morning
with delegates from Russia and
seven Communist nations pres
ent.
The Western powers told the
Kremlin they are resolved to
bring the Paris agreements into
force as soon as possible and
they do not intend to be de-
flected from this course. The
American note read. in part, as
follows:
"The United States Govern
ment dees not believe that the
cause of European security can
be served by the destruction OF
defensive associations between
states inspired by the ideal OF
a common civilization. It would
in no sense further security to
replace such associations by new
organizations which would leave
fundamental Emergencies unre-
solved and would thus consti-
tute no more than a deceptive
aside.
"rThe United States is con-
vinced that the Paris agreements
provide the basis for the solu-
ton of some of the most difficult
problems confronting Europe ano
that far from making the ques-
ton of European security more
difficult to solve they will serve
its promotion and contribute to
the cause Of peace"
The note said the unity being
built up in the West is much
broader in scope and signifi-
canoe than a purely military
alliance. It said the association
of the Western nations is based
on common civilization and ira
ditions. 1t asserted the settle
ment of rivalries and the form
ing of new ties will promote
peace In a region which has
given birth to so many wars.
Since the end of the war;"
the note continued, srearma-
ment in the countries of the
Soviet bloc, including the Soviet
zone Of Germany, has been CEN
trally imposed, massive and un-
restricted, thus compelling the
Western powers to strengthen
their common defense. Under
the Paris agreements, however,
they have of their own free
will accepted a system of con-
trolls. limitations and prohibi-
tions to be applied to their
forces and ornaments. This
system is designed to prevent
any member nation from having

posed that the Senate debate on
the censure charges against him
be ended at 3 pm. Wednesday
and that voting on the censure
resolution and amendments be

He coupled the suggestion with
q declaration that while he was

the intention "of hurting the
feelings of anyone" in the state
ments for which he is facing
censure.

appearing shaky and his injured
right arm still heavily bandaged
as a result of an accident two
weeks ago, called on the Senate

proposal. !;
Senate Majority Leader Know

Senator Mccarthy made his
dramatic proposal As minutes
after the Senate resumed the
special censure session at noon.
He was released from Bethesda
Naval Hospital where he had re-
ceived treatment for the injured
right elbow only yesterday. The
Senate had been in recess for
10 days because of his absence.

Senator Mccarthy said that his

Bao Dai's decision, however,
in effect indorsed the American
position in Indochina which, as
expressed by President Eisen-
hower's special envoy Gen. j..
Lawton Collins, was to back up
Mr.. Diem.
The President and French
Premiere Mendes- France dis
cussed this I'M Washington dur

Gen. Collins had said in Saigon
that the American government

ing the position of the Saigon
regime as a rival of the Com

New Striking Force
To Have II Wings Of
B-52 H-Bombers
Pentoeon Acknowledges
4 More Organization
Units Than Previously
BY III. Assoeioisd Pres.

Americas new H-bomb strik-
ing force will consist Of IL wings
Of high-speed. long-rar1ge B-52
jet bombers-four more wings
than previously announced.
This force. sPentagon officials
said today, will gradually replace
during the next two or three
years the present fleet Of heavy
strategic bombers - the B-36
powered with a combination
piston-jet plant.
Cost Of the program, based on
estimates of the average cost of
B-52s when in full production,
the cost of development of the
first two prototype planes, of
tanker planes for refueling and
OF putting into operation a Sec
ond source of production, may
be about $4.3 billion.
Urgency Cited.
Until this new indication was
made by Pentagon officials who
may not be identified, the Air
Force had admitted officially
only that the program called for
seven wings of B-52s. A heavy
bomber wing includes some 80
planes plus supporting elements.
While authorities avoided dis
cuSsing any exact timetable for
production Of B-52s, the first of
which are scheduled for delivery
to operating units next fall. they
emphasized the urgency of the
program.
One official said the Air Force
is trying to convert the B-36s
to B-52s "as quickly as possible"
and that I'VE are bucking time"
The reference obviously was to
the reported rapid buildup of
Russia's feet of strategic bomb
ers and jet fighters which could
operate effectively against slower
on-engined bombers flying at
attitudes lower than the all-jet
bombers.
The B-52 will be built at
plants Of Boeing Airplane Co.
in Seattle and Wichita. Cost of
putting q second source of sup
ply into operation, such as the
Wichita plant, is estimated by
the Pentagon at a half-billion
dollars. This cost is figured In
the overall $4.3 million estimate.
Has Eight Engines.
The B-52 Is powered with
eight J-57 engines, each produc-
ing about 10.000-pound thrust.
Maximum weight of the plane,
fully loaded with fuel and bomb,
is about 100000 pounds. some
what less than the B-36.
Secretary of Air Harold Talbot
has said the present range of the
B-52 is about 5000 miles, with
hope for extending that to 10000.
This would make its combat
radius (the distance to which it
can fly and return to base. with
additional mileage for time over
the target and variations from
direct coursel about $500 miles
However. the B-52 is equipped
for in-f1ight refueling from q
tanker plane. One official COM
nented that @the B-52 doesn't
reach full value until backed up
by o tanker" another way of
saying that the present range Of
5000 miles is only basic and that
it can be extended vastly by re-
plenishing the fuel supply Of
the bomber while en- route to q
distant target on another CONT
nent. A

Defense and Witness
WrangIe Over Extent
OF Sheppard Injuries
Corrigon Challenges
DR.. Hexter's Statement
On Persons ReHexes
BY the Assoeioied Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 27.- The
defense and an expert State
witness wrangled bitterly today
over the extent Of the injuries
DR.. Samuel H. Sheppard re-
ceived on the day of his wife's
murder.
DR.. Richard Hexter, a physi-
clan who examined DR.. Shep-
pard, was the witness.
DR.. Sheppard claims he was
struck down and twice was
knocked unconscious by a bushy-
haired marauder, who he says
was the actual murderer.
DR.. Hexter examined the oste-
opath on the afternoon Of July
4. only a few hours after the
Staying of DR.. Sheppard's preg-
nant wife Marilyn, 81.
/ Argument Starts.
A heated argument began
when DR.. Hexter testified about
the significance of the absence
of abdominal reflexes.
He found such absence on the
right side of DR.. Sheppard's s
abdomen, he said.
But "in and of itself, such an
absence of reflex doesn't mean a
thing" DR.. Hexter said.
Defense Attorney William j.
Corrigan, in cross-examination,
pounced f1ercely on this state
ment.
He contended that a blow on
the back of the neck could have
injured the central nervous sys-
TEN, and he tried to force DR..
Hexter to agree that the absence
of the abdominal reflex showed
this injury.
Cites Statistics.
DR.. Hexter replied that IL per
cent of normal men do not have
normal abdominal refiexes. He
cited his sources and statistics
for this. This was the basis for
his statement that the absence
of the reflex "in and Of itself,
doesn't mean q thing"
Mr.. Corrigan, his voice rising,
said:
II am going to ask this court
and this Jury to perform an ex-
pertinent. lam going to ask them
to hit themselves in the back
of the neck at the base of the
brain to judge the tremendous
force Of the blow" !
Prosecution attorneys objected
and Judge Edward Blythin said
that kind of experiment could
not take place in his courtroom.
Mr.. Corrigan hammered away
hard on his contention that the
status Of DR.. Sheppard's alb
