Many members OF congress

on another point In connection

he declared. that any allega-
! ton that the program is not pro-

understanding Of what is taking
place"
Some Parts DeIeted
Several parts OF the testimony
were deleted from the transcript
given out by Mr.. Mahon. Most
of the deletions dealt with CLASH
fed material. In one instance.
Mr.. Quarles and Gen. Twining
were asked about recent asser-
ltions by Senator Symington.
Democrat of Missouri, that the
Soviet bloc is far ahead of the
free world in the development
of long-range ballistic missiles.

Scrivener. Republican of Kansas
asked, that in your position you
have been given the latest and
best military intelligence that is
available. Is that correct?"
Il would say that is correct
Mr.. Quarles replied.
do you have any factual mil
itary intelligence which states to
you that the Soviet have fired,
tested long range missiles hun
dreds Of miles farther than any
thing this country has tested?"
Goes or Record
Mr.. Quarles asked permission
to go of the record. His answer
therefore, was not included in
the transcript today.
Mr.. Quarles was questioned at
length concerning the potential
ability of an enemy to fire bal
listic missiles into the United
States and whether this would
be possible using submarines to
obtain ascloser range.
He sad he did not believe that
an enemy could bring surface
vessels into effective range with
out being stopped by the Navy
AS for submarines. he indicated
that many structural and other
problems have yet to be solved
before undersea craft could be
effectively uAed.

Representative Lankfor
Democrat of Maryland, and the
Citizens Committee for Landlord
of Prince Georges County last
night issued joint statements
apologizing to L. Harold Soth-
oron for an error in campaign
literature sent out against him.
Mr.. Sothoron is opposing Mr..
Landlord in his bid for renom-

primary.
The apologies concern a circu-
lar sent out by the Citizens
Committee, in which it was
stated that Mr.. Sothoron was
a trustee of the National Home
Library Foundation when a
Judge said that the trustees had
not exercised their full judgment
in a stock sale.
The case involved the Long

The Attorney General brought
suit to recover assets of about
81 million allegedly "siphoned'
from the National Home Library
Foundation into a mortgage

.Affirms Victory
BY John v. HORNER

Official but still incomplete re-
turns from the District primary
election last Tuesday confirm
that Adlai E. Stevenson captured
six convention votes here in his
bid for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination.
The returns made public yes
terday also verified the early re-
ports of a victory for the local
Republican organization over the
Irebellious faction headed by
George P. Lamb.
With an estimated IS per cent
of the total vote counted in the
Idragged-out tabulation of bal
lots, the leads were unchanged
from those reported in The Star
on Wednesday.
About 10000 Vote
The official figures indicated
yesterday that about 10000 resi-
dents voted in the first authentic
primary election here in more
than 81 years.
This is figure considerably
lower than the total indicated by
the unofficial returns compiled
Wednesday morning. 1t also is
only two-thirds of the number
lof citizens who took the trouble
to register just a few weeks ago.
The official" returns to date
show that candidatesssupporting
Mr.. Stevenson for the Democratic
presidential nomination lead a
slate backing Senator Kefauver
by a vote of about 10000 t.
5000. This is a 2-to-1 ratio, as
was reported in the papers
Wednesday.

bent, continues to hold a COM
handing lead for Democratic
National Committeeman over F.
