SILENCE is GOLDEN

FARMINGDALE, N. Y. (R-The
20,000-pound thrust jet engines of
the F-105 jet fghter-bomber have
been muffled ct Republic Aviation's
airffeld here by a huge silencer.
Snubbed around the tail of the
big plane, the two-stofy higher
$250,000 silencer soaks up the roar
when the J-75 engines are being
tested. It's so effective, company
engineers claim, that you can stand
in the shadow of the muffler and
carry on normal conversation
while the jet engine is running full
blast.

Mistriul in
Mack Case
By the Associated Press

Defense counsel in the con-
spiracy trial Of Richard A.
Mack and Thurman A White
side demanded . mistrial to-
day. but were promptly turned
down.
Mr.. Mack's attorney, Mich
olas ]. Chase, commended the
jury had heard ''prejudicial and
inflammatory testimony"
He said this amounted to q
denial of 4 fair and impartial
trial. Mr.. Chase's complaint
was based on the fact that tes-
timony by DR.. Whiteside, in
Guiding questions put to him
when he appeared before the
House Subcommittee on Legis-
llative Overnight last February,
had been read to the jury.
Mr.. Whiteside's chief coun-
sci, Arthur J. Hilland, also de-
manded a mistrial. He con-
tended that some of the state
ments by members Of the House
subcommittee in their ques-
tons to Mr.. Whiteside were in
f1ammatory.
Judge Burnita s. Matthews
who is presiding at the Mack
Whiteside trial in District Court
promptly denied both the mo-
lions.
Mr.. Mack, a former Federal
Communications Commission
member and Mr.. Whiteside, a
Miami attorney, are charged
with conspiring to swing a
permit for Miami's Channel 10

Senator Morse. Democrat Of
Oregon, has threatened that he
may try to talk the nomination
Of Lewis L. Strauss to death.
{ Mr.. Strauss, nominated as
Secretary Of Commerce, ran
into this latest obstacle last
night after Senate Democrats
initiated a new round Of criti-
cism aimed at preventing his
confirmation.
Senator Morse said he would
do everything within rules Of
the Senate ito prevent this
enemy of the American people
from ever being confirmed"
Under Senate rules. it is diff
ficult to prevent a Senator from
talking any length of time.
Senator Morse's statement,
made to the Senate, was inter-
preted as a threat Of filibuster.
Calls for Withdrawal
Senator Morse, whose threat
came q week before the Senate
is scheduled to begin debate on
the nomination. said President
Eisenhower should withdraw
Mr.. Strauss name from NOM

A previous verbal attack by
Senator Morse led to the resig-
nation Of Mrs. Clare Boothe
Luce as Ambassador to Brazil.
She said Senator Morse's hours
long attack had made it inn
possible for her to serve.

OTHER BILLS-There has
not been much progress on the
bills pending before various
congressional committees that
would liberalize Federal enploye
injury compensation benefits in
certain cases. speed up unem-
ployment compensation bene-I
fits when employees are jobless,
etc. But sponsors Of these bills
still have some hope that they

AS reported here previously,
there Is no hope for such bills
as those to liberalize Federal
employe life insurance benefits,
extend social security benefits
to Government employees in adj
dition to their civil service re-
tirenient. or to credit employees
accumulated sick leave for re-
tirement purposes. Also blocked
for the year are bills to lib
eralize retirement benefits or to
permit retirement on full am
nuities after 80 years Of service,
regardless Of age.
A bill affecting only q small
number Of Federal workers, but
important nonetheless, is the
|so-called Hiss measure that
would allow Federal employees

cept in national security cases.

Advised Of RISK

SIM said Gen. Batista had
been advised he could leave any
time legally but that he would
run the risk Of encountering q
Dominican military plane" II
he attempted an unauthorized
flight.
Gen. Batista was reported to
have asked the Dominican gov
eminent a few days ago for re-
turn Of one of the planes his
party used in escaping from
Cuba. SIM said Gen. Batista's
plan was to ''get himself kid
mapped" and land in the United
States, where his agents were
making plans to apply pressure
on United States authorities to
let him stay.
Rejecting Gen. Batista's re-
quest for a plane, the Domin-
lean government repeatedly
told the exiled dictator "a re-
spectacle government cannot
enter into such deals to create
trouble for a friendly country .

The situation, however. Is by

that would provide low-cost
health insurance for themselves

The House unit has delayed
approval on the bill for weeks,

bill would affect at least several

workers who drive Federal cars
