House leaders expected swift
passage today of a bill spon-
sors say is needed to protect
secret FBI files from indis-
criminate rummaging.
The Senate passed the dis
puted bill by voice vote last
night, but only after revising
it to specify added protection
for defendants In criminal
prosecutions. Two administra-
ton attempts to strengthen the
measure were beaten on party
line votes.
Representative Heating, Re-
publican Of New York, an
author Of the administration
bill in the House, said he ex-
poets word from Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell today opposing
the Senate-approved amend
mentS which were sponsored
by Senator O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat Of Wyoming.
CeIler TO Seek Approval
Mr.. Heating predicted the
House would stick close to the
Administrators version Of the
measure. II think the House
will support a strong bill and
will be against weakening
amendments" he said in an
interview.
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of Ney York. chairman Of
the House Judiciary Commit
tee, said he would try for
House approval of the O'Ma-
honey amendments. But he
said he did not know what
success he might have.
The bill stems from a June
g decision by the Supreme
Court that Clinton Jencks. a
former union official. had a
right to examine material in
FBI files furnished by wit
nesses who testified against
him, so the defense might try
to impeach their testimony.
Jencks had been convicted
Of swearing falsely that he was
not a Communist. The Su-
preme Court ordered a new
trial.
Since then several lower
Federal courts have ordered
Government agencies to open
their confidential files or dis
miss criminal charges. But
the lower courts have come up
with different interpretations
of the Supreme Courts deci-
sion.
Mr.. Brownell has said the
Jencks decision created a

However. there was no DISPOSE
ton by Defense ofiicials to dis
parage the claim.
Although the United States
has never successfully launched
an intercontinental ballistic
missile uCBM one with a
planned range Of 5000 miles or
so-it has fired shorter range
ballistic-type weapons.
Some members Of Congress
voiced Skepticism of the Soviet
claim, but Representative Pat
terson Republican Of Connecti-
cut, did not share this view.
I'VE who serve on the House
Armed Services Committee
have been repeatedly warned
by our own military authorities
that the Soviets are making
tremendous progress in ballistic
missile technology" Mr.. Pat
terson said.
Il have vigorously protested
against the proposed 10 per
cent cutback in funds for the
guided missile research and de-
velopment program. This is
the worst kind Of false econ
omy."
Senator Jackson, who said
9 year ago that the Russians
we're ahead Of the United States
in the overall development of
missiles, said Ne believes the
contest to develop a missile of
5.000-mile range now is in the
neck-and-neck stage.
The Air Force has two ICBM
projects operating on q top
priority basis. The Army is in
the field with a shorter-ranged
version of the rocket weapon.
Launching Unsuccessful
The Air Force so far. has not
achieved a fully successful
launching of its first 5.O0O-mile
missile called the Atlas. But
the Army has launched one
adaptation Of its Jupiter mis-
sile that Travelled nearly 5000
miles.
The Air Force has a second
ICBM under development.
Known as the Titan it was
started later than Atlas and is
believed to be about one year
behind in its development.
Although the Air Force is
pressing its development of
ballistic missiles, it is actually
producing another kind of
weapon that can negotiate the
long flight between the Amer
lean continent and the heart
Of Soviet Russia. This weapon
is the Shark essentially a pilot
less jet bomber that Is guided
throughout its long flight.
Numerous successful tests Of
the Shark have been made.
the Air Force has
great confidence in the Sharks
accuracy. it lacks the speed of
a ballistic missile and is con-
coded to be an interim weapon.

The president and business
manager Of Local 447 Of the
AFL-CIO International Union

they are former Communists.
Victor Teich Of Flushing,
N. Y. the local president. and
Sidney Gilbert Of Brooklyn,
business agent, both swore to
the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee they are not
Communists now. But both in
voked the Fifth Amendment
when asked whether they were
Reds at late as the fall of 1855.
Teich and Gilbert identified
themselves as having held SINH
lar union positions with the
now-independent United Elec-
trical Workers Union, which
was kicked out Of the CIO on
grounds that it was led by
Communist officials.
The two officials we're ques-
toned only briefly at a subcom-
mittee hearing.
Il am not a Communist, /"
Teich said. He said the Tue
constitution forbids Reds to
hold union Offices.
Teich refused to tell the
committee whether he was a
member of the Communist Party
on October 81. 1855. but his
lawyer. Ephriam London OF
New York, told the committee
that Teich was willing to an
swer questions and testify fully
about his activities from the
day following that-November
/. 1855. The committee did not
ask whether he was a Commu-
mist on the November date.
Gilbert also told the commit

charged the Western powers
had taken no practical steps
toward disarmament.
"On the contrary" it said,

The Russians accused the
United States and its allies of
blocking any move toward ban
ming nuclear weapons and
pledged that Russia would con-
tinue working toward this goal.
The statement continued:

tic rocket and the complex or
facilities for the launching.
No Russian Comment
The Soviet press published
the announcement by the So
Wet news agency Tass without
comment. Moscow radio also
repeated the statement with
no added comment. 1t is Gus
tomary in Russia to hold up
comment on such major an
nouncements for a couple of
days.
The announcement gave no
indication where the rocket
was launched or where it
landed. western observers
speculated, however, that If the
distance claims are correct, the
missile must have been sent up
from European Russia toward
q target somewhere on the
fringes of Soviet Siberia.
Observers believed the rocket
was fired without q nuclear
warhead. They saw no direct
link between announcement Of
the successful test and the &C
companying announcement Of
the resumption Of nuclear
weapon tests.
The announcement appeared
to explain Russia's delay in re-
plying to the Vests latest pro-
posals in the London arms
talks. 1t raised the expectation
that Soviet Delegate Valerian
zorin would follow through
with a new disarmament pro-
posal-advanced from posi-
