A small ammonia bomb
exploded in the Capitol

Capitol employees said it
sounded louder than a pis-

Of tear gas and a strong

of the Capitol.
Police said they were

top Of the sandwich aimed a
bit higher than the bottom.
This puts a fiat, double
thickness, 150-degree-wid
radar roof over the world. If
the Soviets launched a missile
toward the United States, it
would pass through the lower
layer shortly after gaining
enough altitude to burn up all
its fuel. When passing through
the beam, it would reflect some
of the radar waves back to the
sender. But this would give its
position away to the BMEWS
station. An instant later it
would go through the upper
layer. This tells which direc-
ton the missile is headed and
how fast.
Electronic computers can then
tell where the missile will hit.
This information will be flashed
to the Continental Air De-
tense Headquarters at Colorado
Spring, Colo; the Strategic
Air Command Headquarters at
Omaha, Nebr., and the PEN
tagon.
It would take an ICBM about
"a half-hour to reach its target.
BMEWS guarantees American
military leaders will know at
least Is minutes before it lands
that the missile is coming. And
they will know which American
city or defense installation is
marked for destruction.
The British station will be
different. It win have three
tracking radars, continually
sweeping the space over Russia
and Eastern Europe looking for
targets. When one radar finds

PARIS, May 17.-Strange as
it may be, the feeling in Paris
today is almost one Of relief.
Premier Khrushchev has shot
his bolt. More suddenly and
with more violence than was
expected, the roof has fallen
in. But as sometimes happens.
the disaster is not quite as
awful and perhaps not quite as
irreparable as it seemed likely
to be.
Today the reaction has al
ready set in. The first result
Of Mr.. Khrushchev's torpedoing
of the summit conference has
been a sudden rallying Of opin-
ion to the American side.
There's a feeling here that, in
going as far as he did, Premier
Khrushchev badly overplayed
his hand. There's hope that
when he realizes this his atti-
tude may change.
There is a serious question,
however, after yesterdays
TRADE as to what if anything
could be accomplished If the
conference does go on.
President Does Well
In a number Of ways, the
Russian leader in making his
blast has put himself on the
defensive.
As he was determined to dc
from the beginning, Mr.. Khru-
Shchev made the most Of the
calamitous affair Of the Amer
lean U-2 spy plane. And hav-
ing said his say in terms nor
mally reserved for a declaration
of war, there seems little more
than he can add.
President Eisenhower, having
submitted himself to a blister
ling personal attack without
losing his temper or his head
has come of well. Among the
allies there's sympathy anC
admiration for the way he stooc
up to the barrage of insult anc
abuse.
There's also complete agree
ment that the Americans have
gone as far as they can pos.
sibly go in ordering suspension
of reconnaissance flights ovel
Russian territory.
Although 1t is still not cleal
why the order-given by Mr.
Eisenhower to Defense Secre'
tary Gates last Thursday-wa'

REACTION SETS IN

own party, Premier Khrushchev
had no real alternative in re-
fuSing to meet the President.
At any rate, Western diplo-
mats here are now convinced
that the Russian plan to break
up the conference was firmly
settled before Mr.. Khrushchev
left Moscow. Nothing that
could be done-short Of meet
ing Mr.. Khrushchev's delib-
erately impossible conditions
for going on with the confer
ence - would have dissuaded
him from wrecking the talks.
Very clearly, however. the
result has been a very real
defeat for the policy which Mr..
Khrushchev himself has been
doggedly selling to the Russian
people and the world since he
came to power. Most experts
here believe that his position
as leader has been badly shaken
and that the question is what
he will do to recoup.
Despite what has happened,
there is still a strong hope that
the answer will not be a per-
mament return to the policy
of crisis and cold-war brink
manship. The length Of Mr..
Khrushchev's proposed adj
journment and pointed refer
ences to the approaching Amer
ican elections in his speech
yesterday seem to indicate that
Mr.. Khrushchev'S conditions
for the summit meeting will
apply as long as Mr.. Eisenhower
is in office. In which case the
result Of yesterdays dramatic
explosion may be less tragic
than it seems. ---

NEW YORK, May II (AP).-
Prices generally declined in a
jittery stock market today.
Losses were from a few cents
to 50.
The ticker tape fell behind
floor transactions several times.
Nervousness was based upon
developments at the summit
conference.
Electronic, missile and air.
craft stocks advanced early, but

early afternoon.
LONDON. May II (AP).-
Stock exchange prices were

opmentS in Paris. Industrial
shares were mainly easier, al
though there we're occasional
firm spots. British government
bonds attracted little support.

not made public at the time,
yesterdays announcement came
as a huge relief to allies. At
least insofar as the British and
French are concerned the Rus
sian demand for a public apol-
ogy and punishment Of those
responsible for the U.2 flight
is ridiculous.
Adjournment Not Disturbing
In fact, q breakdown of the
conference under these
conditions is not being taken as
necessarily calamitous here.
The idea Of adjournment for
six or eight months-provided
that things stay relatively quite
in meantime-is not particu-
larly disturbing.
1t is a big if, however. Top
American experts here are in
clined to take a peSsimistic
view. The possibility of a series
of crises that would involve the
threat of war is not being dis
counted. Mr.. Khrushchev's
plan to stop of in Berlin on
the way home to see his friend
Walther Ulbricht, secretary OF
the East German Communist
Party, has an ominous ring to it.
On the other hand. some
members Of the Russian delega-
ton in talking to newsmer

this point than Mr.. Khrushchev
himself. The official Russian
spokesman, Mikhail A. Khar-
lamov, after yesterdays meet

What may happen now. how

And on this there are as many

One theory is that the Rus

found himself trapped by his
own propaganda stunt. The ex-

not intended at first to wreck

responsibility for the fight.
They would then have been

circles" in the United States

A constitutional amendment
to grant District residents the
right to vote for President and
Vice President was reported to
the House today by its Judi
ciary Committee.
The amendment, if adopted,
would allow Washingtonians
their first vote in presidential
elections in 160 years.
Two-thirdS of Congress and
three-fourths of the States
must clear the amendment to
make it part of the basic law
of the land.
Deleted from the suffrage
amendment by the committee
was a section permitting Dis
trict residents to elect delegates
to the House of Representatives.
Celler Explains
Chairman Celler, Democrat
of New York, explained that
committeeman, in a close vote,
decided against representation
for these reasons:
Congress has the power under
the Constitution to create by
simple law a non-voting Dis
trict delegation in the House
If such a law is passed, Con-
gress can weigh through ex-
perience the question of giving
District delegates voting powers
IF we want District dele
gates in the future to hold
voting powers, we can propose
another constitutional amend
ment," Mr.. Celler said. This
committee sought to achieve
plateaus one at a time on the
way to the summit.
Mr.. Celler personally favored
the lost proviso to delegate to
Congress an amendment now

men in the House.
