Assault on Heat Barrier
Revealed by Flight Board
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE.
Calf, June 80 (R.-The Ma
tional Advisory Committee for
IAeronautics disclosed today it
lis using the worlds fastest,
Ihighest-f1ying airplane. the Bell
IXIA, for research on the heat
barrier.
Another champion of fight.
the Douglas Skyrocket - first
plane to fly twice the speed of
sounds exploring means of
carrying bombs or fuel tanks
beneath the wings, at supersonic
speeds.
Still another experimental air
craft, the stilletto- like Douglas
lX3, is testing the puzzling be-
havior of air in the transonic
Irange-the extreme buffeting
which occurs in the 600-to-800-
Imile-an-hour speed category.
The NACA gave about 100 visi-
tors to its high speed flight sta
ton here a glimpse Of research
activity carried on, II and more
miles above the earth, with the
Nations most advanced aircraft.
Among the group at this sta
ltion, 100 miles northeast Of Los
Angeles, were Undersecretary Of
Commerce Louis RothSchild,

Of Congress.
Walter Williams. chief Of the
center, showed the visitors half
q dozen planes Of radical design
being used for heat research be-
cause. he said, they operate at
speeds where friction heating
from the resistance Of air already
is a problem.
The pride Of the feet is the
X1A, which has been flown by
Maj. Charles Yeager to a record
speed of more than 1900 miles
an hour-2h times the speed of
sound-and by Maj. Arthur Muir
ray to an altitude Of more than
80 900 feet.
A sister NACA plane. the x1E,
displayed here Is under modifi-
cation for an extremely thin
wing, and for larger tanks for
its rocket fuel. 1t too will be
used in the study Of aerody-
manic heating at supersonic
speeds.
Mr.. williams said a third Bell
experimental ship. the K1B. is
at Langley Field, Va, having
structural temperature gauges
installed throughout to check
heating in great detail at every
point of air friction. The K1B
will be flown here later this

Butler Attack
On Butler Hit

Maryland's Republican Sena-
tor Butler gained stature ano
votes through the attack on him
by Democratic National Chair
man Paul Butler, Senator Barry
Goldwater, Republican, of Ari-
zona says.
In a letter to Senator Butler
released by his Office, Senator
Goldwater said, II congratulate
you. You have been singled out
for personal attack by the chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee"
Indeed" he continued, "the
Republican Butler must have the
Democratic Butler very worried,
otherwise why should Paul But
Ter pay so much attention to
John Butler when he should be
concerned with many other SEN
atorial seats to be contested in
next years elections?"
Senator Goldwater saw the
attack as a good service in crit
icizing your record. In doing so,
he was a little more kindly than
he was on recent occasions when
he put both feet in his mouth in
connecting on President Eisen-
hover.
"Mr. Paul Butler" Senator
Goldwater declared. "is rapidly
becoming a most valuable asset
to the Republican Party"

Girl, First Since 1905, Enters
Worlds Rouqhest Horse Race

utes' risk of life and limb around
Siena's ancient square, the Pi-
azza del Campo.
Lulli insists she'll ask no fav-
orS as a woman.
She'll get none.
The last woman to risk the
ride was a farmers daughter
whom history records only as
Virginia, the Courageous" She
cropped of her hair and entered
on q farm horse about the mid
die Of the 18th century. History
doesn't say if she won-but
Sienese doubt it.
Farm horses have been used
mostly since then, instead of race
horses. They take the battering
better.
The Palio itself is a silken
banner. prize of the winning
team. The teams are from each
of Siena's II ancient districts.
In contrast to its rough play,
the race is dedicated to the Ma
donna. The horses are blessed in
Siena's multi colored marble
cathedral before the battle be-
gins.
No one bothers to bless the
riders.

SIENA, Italy, June 80 (R.-
For the first time in four CEN
turies a woman rider has en-
tered the toughest horse race on
earth.
It's the historic Palio Of Siena.
The riding is bareback. The
Jockeys carry clubs. Rough stuff
goes and the din and damage
are terrific.
The winning nag usually snorts
in alone, its rider kicked or
clubbed off along the way.
Undaunted by all this is an
emerald-eyed daughter Of Sicily.

real Sicilian girl should be as

She may learn the hard way,
however. that not many Siena
boys ride in the bone e-breaking
battles held here every July l
and August 16 since the days Of

Held in Attack

Police had two bad tempers
on the record today.
One, a 16- year : old colored
boy, was charged with assault
with q dangerous weapon, name
ly several bricks, and assault on
a policeman.

into an alley, picked up a metal
pipe and invited the policeman
to approach so II can split your

Pvt. Cullinane accepted. The
boy threw two bricks at him and
fed. The policeman called a
scout car for help and during
the pursuit. he met the boy
back-tracking, chased by Albert
Goode, who lives in the unit
block of r street. Mr.. Goode
added his complaint. The boy
had not only thrown bricks at
him, but had struck a woman
in the face with another brick.
Pvt. Cullinane made his catch.
The boy has been released to
his parents.
In the knife assault, the other
boy went to q restaurant where
his 17-year-old brother was
working, accused him Of wear
Ing his shoes and threw the
butcher knife. It struck the
brother in the thigh. He was
treated at Casualty hospital.

After the questioning, Mr..
'O,Hara told newsmen:
"He runs his business the same
as his baseball-l00 per cent on

The catcher said he invested
$4,000 In a package store in
Flushing. Queens, in 1851, and
then transferred it to Harlem.

New Road Plan
|Pegged 10 Tax

Democrats on the House Pub
lie Works Committee have come
up with q new substitute for
President Eisenhower's highway
program, in which they propose
to increase motor fuel taxes
over a l4-year period to help
meet the cost Of the heavier
road expenditures.
The plan is contained in q
bin just introduced by Repre-
sentative Fallon, Democrat, Of
Maryland, chairman Of the sub
committee which held hearings
on the subject.
The bill would authorize ex-
penditure Of $24 billion to COM
plete the cross-country inter-
state system, and about $11 bill
hon on all other types Of road
work over a 12-year period.
New Fuel Taxes
At the same time. the bill
would increase the Federal gas
tax from two to three cents a
gallon and the tax on diesel fuel
from two to six cents over a
14-year period. Changes also
are made in the tax on tires.
Mr.. Fallon said these taxes, in
cluding the present rates, would
produce about $50 billion in the
II years.
The Presidents highway plan
called for o $25-billion bond issue
tn finance most Of his highway
program 1t contemplated no
increase IN taxes.
The Senate has already passed
the Gore bill, calling for an
outlay OF $1S billion over q five
year period. The Senate meas
ure could not include any accom-
tax program because
revenue measures must originate
in the House.
There has been no committee
action yet on the Fallon bill.
But the DEMOCRATS have asked
the Republicans to study 1t in
preparation for a meeting next
week, The Republican commit
tee members held one confer

hquidated, and if some agencies
were obliged to get along with
smaller drawing accounts at the
ATreasurv.
Il The Commission settled on
this savings estimate in a sep
earate statement:
h IF its proposals are carried
out the savings will be sufficient
mot only to balance the budget
but also to ease the taxpayers
burden.
The budget deficit for the 1856
fiscal year starting tomorrow is
ynfficially estimated at $2.4 bill
lion.
i Today's report contained only
one specific new recommended
ton. The Presidents work load
should be lightened, it said, by
having as many as possible of
the GA agencies which now re-
port directly to him, report to
some other official.
Thirty-three agencies "un-
avoidably" must report to the
President, it acknowledged. But
1t suggested that Mr.. Eisen-
hover instruct as many as he
wishes Of the other 81 to re-
port to "some official in the
executive Office whom he may
designate" on their proposed
programs, organizational activi-
ties, staff appointments, SPEND
ing and fund requests.
1.-THE commission reported
considerable progress" in adop-
/. ton of its previous recommends
tions. About SO actions have,
been taken by the agencies, it
said. and AZ pieces Of legislation
have been prepared embodying
various proposals which require
congressional approval.
Holifield Sharply Critical
But even the mild final re-
port" carried a dissent. Repre-
sentative Holifield Democrat. Of
California questioned whether
any useful purpose was served
by the creation Of commissions
having broad scope, like the first
Hoover commission of 1919
and its present counterpart.
Congress should be careful not
to abdicate its legislative re-
sponsibilities by naming a COM
mission every time it is con-
fronted with difficult problem"
Mr.. Holfield said, adding:
Members of Congress are
better qualified to make policy
judgments and to legislate for
the national welfare than any
12-man commission"
MIR. Holif1eld said study COM
missions can be justified If they
"bring to bear the dispassionate
and considered judgment Of a
select group of men on matters
of great national concern which
should transcend party differ
enceS."
They are valueless if the
Scope of inquiry is not carefully
defined and If the attribute of
bipartisanship is absent" he de-
clared.
"The Hoover Commission, in
its second round of endeavor, is
wanting on both counts" Mr..
Holifield said.
Still to come is a second in
stallment of the Commissions
report on Government paper
work. A spokesman said this
goth report should appear about
the middle Of July. Although the
Commission dies legally tonight

There is a fearful chance that
those who take the road of private
determination of obligations will
bring us to that unhappy state in
which a country like France finds
itself - where mans proud boast
is how much tax he succeeded in
dodging," Father Land said in an
interview.
The question whether there may
be freedom to evade some taxes
can be decided only by looking at
how and why taxes are collected
here in the United States, the
Jesuit said.
"You don't look st how and
why they are levied elsewhere
or in the past. That's why you
must be sure that any noralisf
who defends this freedom TO
svade is talking with full knowI-
edge of conditions in our own
country"
Father Land contended tnat Oh
ten moralists who justify evasion
on the grounds of graft, waste or
wrong purposes of taxation, are
thinking of conditions where an
absolute ruler greedily taxed his
people at will.
Altogether different is our sit
uation," he continued.
Here you see the peoples chos-
en- representatives and president
working over weeks and even
months to get out budget hoping
to include only justifiable expendi-
lures, and then wrestling again
with the complex problems of get
ting tax revenue for that budget
in the fairest way possible"
When our legislators act with
care and deliberation, he said, Il
contend that they have given us a
good prudential judgment. True,
there are mistakes of judgment,
compromises, yielding to pressures
or political necessities. Neyerthe'

soon as possible.
Because there are not nearly
enough babies to satisfy the i'm
mediate demand, Msgr. Kappes
said, couples must wait as long as
18 months to 2 years for an adop.
tive child.
Although the agency places re-
markable number of very young

trend is toward older children. In
general, however, parents requests
are flexible.
THE men usually want boys,

Nevertheless, there are some
