Massive Heater

A massive e4-ton heater that
could serve 200 average homes
is now being installed in the
partially completed hypersonic
wind tunnel Of the Naval Ord
nance Laboratory in Silver
Spring.
The heating unit and tunnel
are part of q stepped-up mis-
sile research program aimed at
obtaining technical data on the
behavior Of small-scale missile
and space craft models. Re-
search officials said the heater
is capable Of producing an out
put Of 1900 degrees Fahrenheit.
The heat provided will keep
air from cooling to such an
extent that it turns to liquid
when passed through the tun-
mel. which will be able to propel
air more than 1900 miles-per-
hour.

Star Stan Writer

A bipartisan plan took shape
in the House yesterday to nip
In the bud a highly controver-
sial States rights" bill before
it can even be brought up for
formal floor debate this week.
This would attempt to de-
feat a procedural resolution
that squeezed out Of the Rules
Committee by a 6-5 vote to
allow six hours of general de-
bate on the measure to pre-
serve some State statutes on
sedition and other matters
covered by Federal laws.
Opponents. including the
Democratic chairman and top
ranking Republican on the
House judiciary Committee,
attack the bill as a shotgun
approach" They warn it would
cause "chaos in legal relation
ships" between the Federal
and State governments.
Roll Calls Delayed
The bill is to be called up
Tuesday, the day of Virginia
primary elections. Under a
previous agreement there will
be no roll calls on passage Of
disputed bills until Wednes-
day. But there is nothing to
prevent a demand for a roll
call Tuesday on proposed rules
for general debate.
House Republican Leader
Martin said there was a dis
tinct possibility that roll call
would be requested on the rule
governing debate on the So
called Federal presumption"
bill. Defeat Of the rule could
shelve the bill for the remain
der of this session of Congress.
Debate on the rule itself is
limited to one hour.
While rejection of Rules
Committee recommendations
is rare, the most recent action
of that kind occurred only two
weeks ago. On a 214 to I'll
roll call the House beat down
a rule that would have allowed
five hours of debate on an ON
nibus farm bill.
If the rule on the present bill
is adopted Tuesday and gen.
eral debate goes on for two
days, critics of the measure
say they are confident they can
defeat it on a final roll call.
They note that it came out of
the Judiciary Committee by an
1918 vote last June 13.
Sponsors Of the bill, led by
Representative Willis, Demo-
crat of Louisiana, explain that

There has been tan that the

Democratic and Republican

Answers to these questions
among others, are being
sought:
Should the Air Force Bomarc
or the Army Nike-Hercules,
both surface-to-air missiles
with somewhat similar capa-
bilities, be eliminated?
How many ilghter-inter-
ceptor planes and squadrons
can be safely eliminated as
the main enemy threat swings
toward ballistic missiles?
Are we spending too much
on continental air defense in
relation to our outlays for
weapons which permit US to
project our power against the
enemy?
Shall we concentrate on ali

tory bases and put the defense
of our cities on a lower priority

$22 Billion Spent
According to WiIfred j. Nc
Neil, the Pentagon's top fiscal
expert, the United States has
spent $22 billion in the last AZ
years on q defense against
manned hombers.
He says that while it is still
too early to make an educated
guess, it appears likely that the
cost of an anti-TCBM system
win run to at least $13 billion
in the years ahead, without fig
uring in operating costs.

to spend this huge amount on

The major issues still await

affect rates. but make numerous
changes in the Interpretation

major subjects are still being

The other is a small business

Labor Bills Fate Uncertain
It is still not certain what
the House win do with two
labor bills passed by the Senate.
One regulates pension and well
fare funds. while the other
seeks to protect the rights Of
individual workers.
The Senate win try to pass
tomorrow the Monroney air

midair collisions between mill
itary Jets and civilian aircraft,
the bill creates a new Federal
aviation agency. headed by an
administrator. with broad
power to regulate air traffic

cotton, rice and feed grains.
