GIN and Du Point
Stocks Advance

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 (AP).-
General Motors and du Pont
stocks rose on the New York
Stock Exchange today in the
first reaction to last Fridays
decision by a Federal Judge
that du Point could retain its
GIN stock.
A block of $4,000 shares OF
General Motors sold at $57.75
a share, UP 1892 from last Fri
days close. Du Point started out
on 1900 shares at $260.25 8
share, up $4.37. The rest OF
the market was mixed with
trading fairly active.
Federal Judge Walter La
Buy ruled in Chicago Friday
that du Pont could retain pos
session of its So million. Gen.
eral Motors shares, but must
pass the voting right along to
its individual shareholders. The
Justice Department had urged
that du Pont sell and distribute
the GIN shares.
The case grew out of a JUS
tice Department anti trust
suit.

Alexandria Bomb JoIts
City Aide, Jurist Wife

An object believed to be 6
homemade gasoline bomb ex-
ploded last night outside the
door of the apartment occupied
by Alexandria Vice Mayor
Joseph M. Pancoast and his
wife, Judge Irene L. Pancoast
of the city's Juvenile and Do
nestle Relations Court.
No one was injured, but
flames blackened the door and
walls and set af1re a door mai
in the apartment building
Mount Vernon Gardens, at tbs
South Washington street.
The explosion occurred
shortly after 9 pm. Police
summoned by Mr.. Pancoast,
arrived in time to extinguish
the mat fire, and to discover a
swastika and anti-Jewish signs
pasted to one side of the apart
ment door. The Pancoasts are
not Jewish.
Identical signs, arranged In
the same order, were found
today pasted in the Alexandra
Surplus Co., 2501 Duke street,
which was broken into over
the week end. The owner, John
H. Pollet, said three rifles and
a supply of ammunition were
stolen.
Police said there definitely is
a connection between the store
Burglary and the apartment
house bombing.
Why the bomb was thrown
mystif1ed the Pancoasts and
police. Mr.. Pancoast. an at
torney, said: II don't know
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-05

whether it was directed against
me or my wife"
One theory was that juve-
niles sentenced by Judge Pan
coast were seeking revenge.
Judge Pancoast told police
she saw a group Of juveniles
driving away right after the
explosion, but could not say
whether they were implicated
or had been visiting a delica-
lessen across the street.
I'm not worried about it"
she said. II slept like a top
last night. 1t just doesn't
bother me. I think its a minor
thing"
But a policeman spent the
remainder of the night outside
the Pancoast apartment and
another was stationed there
today. Judge Pancoast went
about her judicial duties as
usual today.
Police said they found no
trace Of the bomb materials,
but from the nature Of the
burned places, Fire Inspector
William Fox said "a very
highly explosive substance"
such as gasoline had been used.
The signs were pasted to-
gether and slapped on the wall
in the apartment hall. All but
the bottom sign were printed in
white on red paper, as was
the swastika.
The bottom sign, made of
headline type clipped from a
newspaper, read: "A Nazi did
this-catch me if you can" The
letters were pasted haphazardly
on school notebook paper.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

I last two years and presumed
to speak for the whole Govern
ment on the nature Of the
space program.
Reds Show Efficiency
It can only be assumed that
the Soviet Union, by contrast,
has a space policy, a program
to implement that policy, and
detectives toward which the
program is directed. If these
detectives are primarily prop
agandistic and scientific only
secondarily-as they seem to
be-this does not detract from
its efficiency.
A leading space official here
remarked yesterday, in the
first hours after the launching
of the Russian rocket, that 1.-THE
world population has finally
come around to accepting the
Russian line that activities in
space necessarily tell whether
a nation is ahead in science"
This is line which the
United States does not indorse
today. but the recollection is
still fresh in many minds that
it was superior American sci
ence and superior American
technology" that was to launch
the first earth satellite during
the International Geophysical
Year. That argument van
ished when Russia got Out
there first.

AFL-CI0 Fears
New Recession
Economic Policies
By President Hit
By the Associated Press

The AFL-CIO told Congress
today the Eisenhower admins
tration's economic policies are
bringing the threat of a new
recession.
Andrew j. Biemiller. legis-
lative director for the organ
ization, made the statement at
the opening of a series of hear
ings by a special Senate COM
mittee on unemployment prob
lens. The Senators are trying
to find out why about three
million workers are unemployed
despite general prosperity.
"Our failure to provide full
employment for A erica's
growing labor force" is "Amer-
ica'S most crucial domestic
economic problem" Mr.. Bic
miller said.
Progressively Worse"
He added that the jobless
situation has grown progress
sively worse in the last six
years, despite recoveries from
two recessions, because the Ma
tons rate of economic growth
has Jagged.
However, Walter D. Fackler,
assistant director Of economic
research for the United States
Chamber of Commerce, told
the committee "a certain
amount of unemployment is
normal and inevitable"
He said economic policies
should be aimed at eliminating
that part Of unemployment
which is clearly unnecessary,
but not at the expense Of him
dering economic opportunity
and freedom.
Senator Mccarthy, Demo-
lcrat of Minnesota, the commit
tee chairman, said in opening
the hearings that "unemploy-
ment continues to be a serious
problem in the United States"
The "a million jobless total
in August was less than that
of a year ago but 1t is 100000
higher than the unemployment
figure for August, 1857, the
month Immediately preceding
the recession, he noted.
Many Factors Considered
Senator Mccarthy said
things his committee is in
l,trested in include "the rela-
tionship between unemploy-
ment and racial differences,
unemployment and age. I'M
employment and other socio-
logical or cultural factors"

Democrats and three. Republic
cans was set up during the last

itself capable of doing what
the Soviet Union did on Octo-

ton was the DRIFTING of q
couple Of hundred pounds OF
instruments at an average al
titude of 800 miles for a period
of three months.
No Coherent Policy Seen
The Russians. by launching
their third cosmic rocket,
have done something that
American rocketeers probably
will not be able to duplicate
for three, five, or possibly even
seven years.
The situation is very much
like that described by the Red
Queen (no pun intended) in
Through the Looking Glass:
"Now here, you see. it takes
all the running you can do, to
keep in the same place. If you
want to get somewhere else.
you must run at least twice as
fast as that!"
The United States has not
been running twice as fast in
the two years since Sputnik I
In fact, there is a large body
of informed opinion which
holds that the Nation has moi
done all the running it coulc
have done, and that this ex-
plains why America has moi
kept in the same place.
A powerful case can be made
for the point of view that the
widening gap indicates the alb
sence of a coherent national
policy for space. Certainly, nc

hidden face, Tass said today.
Slowed by the relentless
gravitational tug of the earth,
the flying laboratory should
come within 1850 miles of the
moon at 5 pm. Go am. EDIT
Tuesday, the official news
agency said.
AS it approached the moon,
the interplanetary station
that's what the Russians call it
has separated from the last
stage of the cosmic rocket that
launched it yesterday. Tass
added,
The agency said that at noon
Moscow time Is am. EDIT
the station was 248,0O0 kilo-
meters (154,000 miles) from
the earth and over the eastern
part Of the Indian Ocean. This
was well over the halfway
mark.
Slower Than Luniks
TaSs said the apparatus is
moving toward the moon more
slowly than the first and sec
ond Luniks. This is to enable
1t to pass round the moon and
be pulled back to earth instead
OF flying off into space as did
the first moon shot last Janu-
airy.
Much conflicting data is be-
ing given out on what the Sats
elite is doing or is likely to do,

tory about 10000 miles farther
from the earth at noon than

lance at 215,000 kilometers

that the satellite would pass

placed the distance at about
6,210 miles.
Picture to Be Radi0ed
The unnamed space station
has a camera aboard. Its pic

radio signals which in turn
would be sent back to earth.
An unnamed astronomer de-
clared triumphantly over Mos

that means that the other side
of the moon is brightly lighted
by the rays of the sun. What
lies there? Soviet scientists will

The United Steelworkers' de-

Committee today rejected as

ing the 83-day-old Nationwide
steel strike.
David j. Mcdonald, USW

dustry. He said he was hopeful
q session could be arranged

told to stand by for a possible

Members of the committee
said they had been told to ex4

After the more than two

Donald read this statement:
1.-THE Wage Policy Committee

These terms were rejected
unanimously as being COM
pletely unsatisfactory.

Speculation Raised
Yesterdays developments
raised speculation that Presi-
dent Eisenhower will invoke the
Taft-Hartley law this week and
send the half-million strikers
back to the mills at least for an
S0-day cooling-off period.
Mr.. Mcdonald said yesterday
he has the solid support Of the
striking members. After the
nearly two-hour board meet
ing, Mr.. Mcdonald said:
Reports from the directors
who have been close to the men
back home during this time in
dictate a remarkable degree of
high morale, unity and deter
mination among our people"
Even before the board meet
ing ended, there were reports
from Washington that Govern.
ment attorneys were working
on plans for quick Taft Hartley
action to stop the costly strike.
Would Authorize Study
The first step toward Taft
Hartley action would be for
the President to declare an
emergency and appoint a fact
finding committee. Then, if the
3 committee reports an emer-
gency, a Federal court injunc-
ton would be sought.
Industry sources earlier re-
ported the management offer
would increase labor costs

labor costs would come closer
to 10 cents an hour during a
