At least seven days of hear
ings in the next month will all
the state of the Nations de-
lenses and seek a speed-up in
target dates for the tagging
missile program, according to
Senate Majority Leader john
son of Texas.
Senator johnson, head Of the
Senate Armed Services Sub
committee on Preparedness,
told newsmen yesterday that
the opening phase of the in
quiry will start at 10 am. Mon
day with testimony by DR.,
Edward Teller, father of the
H-bomb."
Some Sessions Secret
In addition to DR.. Teller. four
prominent scientific leaders will
testify in open sessions Monday
and Tuesday before the SUBJ
committee goes into closed ses-
sions to hear testimony from
officials of the hush-hush Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency.
Open hearings will be held
in the Senate Caucus Room and
closed session in the Senate
Armed Services Committee
Room. Senator johnson said.
The Majority Leaders an
nouncement followed a meet
ing of the subcommittee and
it's chief counsel. Edwin WeiSl
of New York. Five of the seven
committee members attended
the conference in the Capitol,
Senator johnson said. Absent
were Senators Kefauver, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, and Salton-
stall, Republican of Massachu-
ctts.
Name Science Advisers
Appointment of two eminent
scientist educators as scientific
consultantS was announced af-
ter the meeting. They are DR.
Homer Joe Stewart, aeronauticS
professor at California Institute
of Technology, and Dr. William
Houston, president of Rice In
stitute. Houston, Tex.
In explaining the goals of
he investigation, Senator john
son said, Information already
available to us indicates that
our present target dates (for
missile production) are far too
modest. They are not adequate
to the needs of our Nation"
List of Witnesses
These conclusions, Senator
johnson said, were reached af-
ter exhaustive Spadework by

great psychological impact
around the world. It could
also make a big impression in
the United States, public opin-
ion experts agree. again citing
the tremendous reaction the
Soviet space satellites evoked
in this country.
The nuclear-powered plane
has to be so heavy that the
effort of sending it into the
air is not worth it. some Ameri-
can scientists and engineers be-
lieve. Present jet powered
planes can fly as long as several
crews can fly them, officials
say.
Vulnerable to Attack
And the FIRST atom powered
planes are likely to be vulner-
able to attack.
There is little inclination to
doubt any more that q nuclear-
powered plane can be developed,
but there is doubt that either
American or Soviet planners
would want to produce great
squadrons of them.
If Kremlin leaders decide to
allow their scientists to shoot
a rocket to the moon. Wash

them to predict they will actu-
ally hit the moon. A slight
error in firing might cause the
missile to miss the moon by
several thousand miles. or to
circle the moon rather than
hit it.

Communist Party and no So
cialist (Communist) country
has any reason to provoke a
war or to launch a military at
tack on another country"
1t said there was no reason
for Soviet Russia OF Red China
to attack anyone because they
were busy exploiting their
enormous natural resources.
Communist Doctrine
Communist nations need
/ peace and would not use force
to impose their political and
social systems on other coun-
tries. the manifesto said. add
ing:
Socialism comm u n S M
cannot be imposed from out
side. 1t has to be the result
of internal struggle of the
working classes and of all pro-
gressive forces in each coun-
try" This is standard Com
muniSt doctrine.
Although the Yugoslavs en-
phasized that they had not
signed the Communist unity
declaration of Thursday be-
cause they did not agree with
it, they gave full support to
the peace manifesto.
The Yugoslav press published
the whole text of the peace
manifesto but the official Yugo-
slav news agency Tanjug re-
leased a version of the unity
declaration which edited out all
attacks on the United States.
YugOslavia Shuns Bfocs
Communist sources in Bel
grade said Yugoslavia wanted
to stay out of blocs and con-
tinue independent policies.
Observers in Western CAPT.
tails said the two latest Commu-
mist declarations indicate that
Moscow has reaSserted its au-
thority over the world Com
munist movement, with the
consent of Red China's Mao
TIE tung.
Thus, the indications are
that the rumbles of discomfort
against total Moscow domina-
ton. coming from Communists
in countries like Poland, will be
Subdued or wholly suppressed.
Return To Stalinist Tenets
Diplomatic informants in
Warsaw. who long have
watched the interplay of in
ternal Communist conflicts,
said Thursday nights Moscow
communique had the distinct
touch of the Kremlin's Mikhail
Suslov. He is a longtime
StaliniSt and party theoretician
who has been climbing steadily
to prominence as a ranking
Communist secretary un d er
boss Nikita Khrushchev.
Suslov's hand indicates that
so far as the satellite Commu-
mist parties are concerned, a
return to Stalinist tenets can
be expected. Moscow seems to
be reasserting full domination
Iof the satellite parties, at least
in those areas affecting the flu
ture course of Red Expansion
Westerners view the declara-
ton call for additional con-
ferences among Communist
leaders "as the need arises" as
being in effect a re-establish-
ment of a world Communist
general staff.
The communique made no
mention of a reconstructed
Cominform Communist Inter-
national Information Bureau
as such. The Cominform, set
up in l947, was declared dis
solved last year. 1t served as
successor to the Communist In
ternational (Cominternl, which
was dissolved in 1943 when

plain that "fraternal parties in

missions stand that it be con-
suited on the architectural fea-
lures of the bridges connecting
roadway structures and the idea
that another attempt be made
to locate the bridge across
Roosevelt Island.
Col. welling, in effect,
thanked the commission for its
advice on the architectural
aspects of the bridge. Both the
commission and District engi-
neers have settled on an arched,
masonry bridge, similar to the
Arlington Memorial Bridge.
Consultations Suggested
Col yelling said the District
was pleased to have that ar
chitectural advice in writing"
IF 1t represents the COM
missions final advice on the
bridge. then the commission
and the engineers of the Dis
trict could perhaps go on to
further consultations" he
added.
But the Commissioner. in his
letter. ruled out any discussions
over the design of the complex
array Of bridge approaches the
commission has felt it has a
responsibility in.
In its letter of last week. the
commission felt its advice
should be sought on the archi-
tectural features of the bridges
connecting roadway structures
on either side Of the river. and
their impact on the monu-
mental Potomac Park areas.
But Col. Welling's letter indi-
Gated that future consultations
with the commission will be
confined TO the design Of a
pedestrian access from the
bridge to Small Island and a
structure connecting Small
Island to Roosevelt Island.
Association Sounded Out
The letter. addressed to David
E. Finley. chairman Of the
commission. reads on this
point:
"The District has written the
Theodore Roosevelt Association
In search Of the associations
wishes concerning the pedes-
trian access from the bridge
10 Small Island. The item has
Evening star., 1957-12-24

since been discussed tele-
phonically with a representa-
tive of the association. AS soon
as the associations wishes are
known to the District. the Dis
trict will seek from the Com
mission of Fine Arts whatever
architectural advice may be
appropriate"
On the subject of bridge ap-
proaches. the letter said:
Those aspects Of the prof.
ect ,the approachesl in part
for the Constitution avenue
bridge and in part for the once
proposed bridge slightly up
stream were the subject of de-
tailed discussions between the
commission and engineers Of
the District in 1856. The
commissions views and objec-
tions are we'll known. and every
reasonable effort is being made
to accommodate them. Any
adequate bridge or adequate
tunnel in that general vicinity
will lead to the same general
approach road system"
1t is the Districts position
that the bridge would include
such an access only If the
Roosevelt Island Association
insists on 1t.
Concern Expressed
The commission said last
week ii was particularly con-
cerned with Twenty-third
street overpass Of Constitution
avenue. which would deposit
a stream of traffic practically
at the base Of the Lincoln
Memorial" 1t said it was also
concerned with the effects the
approaches would have on the
setting Of the Lincoln Memo
rial. Roosevelt Island. Arling-
ton Memorial bridge and the
Two Jima Marine Memorial.
"Since you. (the commission
wrote Col. Welling,D have re-
fused to furnish the informa-
ton ION the design Of the
approaches) requested. tn c
commission is not in a posi-
ton to advise as regards the
proposed structures except in
the case Of the bridge over the
Potomac River at Constitution
avenue"
