The American Institute of

ances to attend its national meet
ing here from Monday through

Pole, but there won't be a dele
gate from Red China.
That's because the United
States does not recognize Red
China as nation, so there is no
way a Communist Chinese citizen
could get an American visa.
The Russian, Already Mord-
vinov, and the Pole, Nine. Helena
Syrkus, will represent only two
of 81 foreign architectural
societies when the meetings be-
gin in the Shoreham and Shera-
ton Park hotels. They will come
as "official" representatives Of
their governments, instead Of as
private citizens, to avoid the
fingerprinting required by our

vinov are members Of the execu-

The legislator scored Mr.. Reu-
ther at a meeting of the WASH

Mayfower Hotel.
He charged him with running

and with fostering a philosophy
Of economies alien to the United

He called Mr.. Reuther zone of
the greatest future dangers the
country will face"
Sees Threat in CLIO
The Senator began the attack
by telling some 600 listeners. who
had gathered at the hotel to elect
IL new members to the boards
board of directors, that the
trouble in the Transfers Union
is only a symptom Of the ills in
other unions. including the

The chief LII, he explained. is
the wide use of union dues by
powerful. high-ranking labor
leaders as contributions to politi-
cal candidates.
The practice is not illegal, he
said, but what they have in mind
Is.
He told the businessmen that
the goal is the "take-over by the
powerful unions, including JAW.
Of not one but both parties in
the Government"
1t can only be stopped, he
added, by outlawing such a use
Of the dues.

Of a man like Walter Reuther,
he declared, 1.-The Nations polit-
ical parties will be dictated to by

pany officials said. Five addition
al plants are still under construc-

The newly completed reforming
plant produces high-octane COM
ponents of automotive and avia-
ton gasolines. Designed by the
Houdry Corporation, it has a ca
pacity of $4,000 barrels per day.
The reformer is charged with
naphthas, originating from the
crude iistillation unit, from which
sulfur and other impurities have
been removed. 1t uses a platinum
catalyst to rearrange the MOLE
cules of gasoline, thus greatly in
creasing their octane rating. At

formate produced becomes one of
the major components OF high
octane gasoline designed to meet
the requirements of both present

In addition to producing other
intermediate products, the re-
former manufactures by-product
hydrogen which is used in the

move sulfur and other impurities
from gasoline and distillate
