A House Rules subcommittee
planned today to welcome
but not formally invite-Na-
tional Security Council and
Central Intelligence Agency Of
ficialS to testify on proposals
that Congress should investi-
gate this country's foreign in
telligence systems.
The member subcom-
mittee, headed by Representa-
tive Madden, Democrat of In
diana, emphasized at it's first
meeting today that it is not
investigating the CIA or any
other agency. 1t explained that
its sole purpose is to make a
preliminary study. On the ba-
sis of this study, the subcom-
mittee would recommend
whether Congress should au-
thorize a full-scale investiga-
ton. perhaps by a special COM
mittee.
Mr.. Madden told reporters
he personally feels Congress
had better take some kind of
step to make our intelligence
system second to none" He
said emergencies in Cuba and
several other parts of the world
convinced him the present sys-
tenn has serious shortcomings.
The subcommittee was ap-
pointed recently by Rules Com
mittee Chairman Smith, DEM
ocrat of Virginia, to consider
several bills introduced since
January by House members
calling for an investigation and
possible overhaul of intelli-
gence operations, especially

DETROIT. June 6 (AP).-
The pigeon credited with saw

Gauarin Story

The Soviet Union has drib-
bled a little more information
about the orbital ride of its
"cosmonaut," Maj. Yuri A.
Gagarin, last April IL.
Following are excerpts Of an
English language broadcast
from Moscow on May 29, as
monitored by a United States
Government listening post!
Gas time passes, interest in
the first manned space flight
seems to be waxing rather than
waning. To meet this interest,
here are more details about
Maj. Gagarin's exploit. ~
"a rather large group of
astronauts were preparing for
the space flight (they)
passed all the required exam
nations with flying colors. It
was difficult to select any one
man. However, a few days be-
fore the takeoff, Mai. Gagarin
was told he was the chosen
one. --.t
Fears that he might be-
come wrought up proved wrong.
"On the evening of IL April
the aStronaut's blood pres
sure was lis over rs. His pulse
was 64 and temperature SO de-
grees Farenheit. During the
night before the takeoff, the
doctors slept much worse than
the major, who through all eight
hours in bed never changed
his position or woke. .+.
"At $50 am. on IL April,
Maj. Gagarin was on his feet.
After physical exercises he ate
his special space breakfast.
For several days the astronaut
had been eating differently
from other people. High cal
orie food was pressed right into
his mouth by tubes. 49,.
Maj. Gagarin rode in a spe-
cial bus to the launching pad. -.
After taking his place in
the capsule, Maj. Gagarin re-
ported in a calm voice, Earth,
I am cosmonaut. Pressure in
cabin in one (atmosphere), hu-
midity IS per cent, temperature
66 degrees Farenheit), feel
well. :"
Seventy seconds after the
rocket shot into the sky the
aStronaut reported growing
stresses and strains but said
he felt well. "Yuri Gagarfn's
flight around the earth and
back to a safe landing went
exactly in accordance with
plans. The major felt fine
after the flight, and he still
does. :"

Commerce Secretary Hodge.
today said big companies fact
special problems in complying
with antitrust laws because big
ness increases the difficulty oi
communication between tor
management and subordinates
Testifying before the Senate
Antitrust Subcommittee, Mr.
Hodges said there is no basic
reason why large corporations
should not compete as vigor-
ously as small companies.
But, he said, big companies
have failed in communicating
policies to their employees,
Management of corporate
America must assume the re-
sponSibility for a more aggres-
sive program Of acquainting its
own people with its policies,
its commitments, and its phi
losophies," he said.
Mr.. Hodges apparently had
in mind testimony by execu-
tives in the electrical manu-
featuring industry that they
were unaware of price-fixing
and bid-rigging, and that their
subordinates winked at policy
directives requiring compliance
with antitrust laws.
Will Draft "Guides"
Mr.. Hodges told the subcom-
mittee, which is investigating
pricing in the electrical in
dustry, that his recently estab-
lished Business Ethics Advisory
Council will try to draft guide
lines" rather than a specific
code for proper business con-
duct. He said the council will
concentrate on social and
moral" questions, rather than
legal issues.
The council was established,
he said, because of fear that
failure to act promptly in the
wake of price-fixing scandals
might lead to public "distrust"
of the whole private enterprise
system. He said public opinion
turned against organized labor
when specific abuses were dis
closed.
Despite antitrust violations
in specific cases, Mr.. Hodges
said, Industry in general and
the preponderant majority of
businessmen are entirely will
ing to assume the obligation
and burden of operating prop
erly under the most highly
competitive conditions"
DeplOres Identical Bids
Mr.. Hodges said identical
bidding is very bad and totally
unnecessary" in most cases,
especially in relation to sales
to Government.
He thus took issue with the
contention by some electrical
manufacturers that identical
bids are perfectly right and
normal in the absence of COL
fusion. The industrialists have
testified that identical pricing

u. S. Astronout Lost
3 Pounds in II Hours

Here is a summary Of medical
data from the May 5 flight OF
aStronaut Alan B. Shepard, as
made public today in scientific
papers by members Of the
Mercury team:
Comdr. Shepard lost three
pounds from 1891 to 1861
in II hours on the day Of the
flight. His temperature re-
mained close to norm a
throughout, ranging from 9e
degrees eight hours before
launch to 1902 Immediately
after his rescue from the ocean.
His pulse rate, normally about
SO beats per minute, more than
doubled during his rocket ride.
1t hit a peak Of 1873 just as the
powered phase of the flight
ended. A reading Of 1872 was
recorded under a peak decei-
Grated force of 11Gs as the space
capsule re-entered the atmoS-
phere. The astronaut's normal
respiration rate of 16 breaths
per minute hit a peak of 40
during the launch phase, went
down to 20 during the weight
less" part of the flight, then
rose again, leveling off at about
IS. Three hours after the
flight he was still taking four
breathS per minute more than
his normal 16.
Some Apprehension
Psychiatrists found Comdr
Shepard "A-O.K." both before
and after the flight. He con-
fesSed to slight apprehension"
concerning potential hazards
but adjusted by thinking about
ways to cope with all situa-
tions. After the ride, some
degree of excitement and ex-
hilaration was noted" but he
was calm and self-possessed."

was honored yesterday as l,146
students were graduated at
Georgetown University's 162d
annual commencement.
DR.. Leo @. A. Schlicting, pro-
fesSor Of political science at

War II as a newspaper editor
and as a member Of his coun-
try'S foreign service.
Cites StateSman's Role
In the commencement ad-
dress he noted that "St.
Thomas, following Aristotle,
compares the prudence of
the statesman to the art of
the architect, a comparison
that is even more appropriate
today. when now the states
man is called continuously to
create structures, institutions
and instruments, real works of
the art of society building"
The Very Rev. Edward B.
Mum. Sd, president of the
university, told the students,
Georgetown has given of her
best to prepare you for life
life temporal with all its vicis-
situdes, its happinesses and its
tragedies, its victories and de-
feats, but also in the principles
she has put before you, and in
the practices she has encour-
aged. for life eternal, with its
everlasting implications of bliss
or misery, of unending success
. or failure"
Other Honorary Degrees
Among those also receiving
: honorary degrees before the
1000 guests were the Rev.
. Charles j. Foley. S.J.. director
Georgetown's Office of Uni
versity development, degree Of

COrdiner Tells Policies
Ralph J. Cordiner, president
and board chairman of the
General Electrict Co., outlined
GEES efforts to stop antitrust
violations in testimony before
the subcommittee yesterday.
But Chairman Ketauver
Democrat of Tennessee, said he
was skeptical about the effec-
tiveness of the company's COM
pliance program, in view OF
what he called GEES sorry
record" of antitrust violations
through the past so years.
Senator Kefauver called the
antitrust record "a corporate
disgrace" and accused Mr.
Cordiner of negligence" in
failing to learn about and stop
price-fixing and bid-rigging
conspiracies.
GE was a principal defend
ant earlier this year when a
Federal district judge in Phila-
delphia dealt out prison SEN
tences and heavy fines to elec-
trical companies and officers
who pleaded guilty or no-con-
test to charges Of antitrust
violations.
Mr.. Cordiner rejected the
charges of disgrace" and
negligence" but acknowledged
that he was not proud" of
GE'S antitrust record. AS chief
executive officer, he accepted
his "proportionate share of the
responsibility" for the viola
tionS.

Threats TO
Farm Bill Foes

The Senate investigating SUBJ
committee is studying charges
that Agriculture Department
employees have threatened re-
prisals against organizations
that oppose the administration
farm bill.
A source on the staff of the
subcommittee, headed by Sen
ator Mcclellan, Democrat of
Arkansas, confirmed today that
the investigation is in progress
but said it is too soon to know
whether public hearings will
result.
Senator Mcclellan ordered
the study last Wednesday on
the basis of a telegram from
John H. Todd, executive vice
president of the National Cot
ton Compress and Cotton
Warehouse Association, with
headquarters in Memphis.
Tells Of Warning
MIR. Todd had lodged a
formal complaint on May %
with Horace D. Godfrey, ad-
miniStrator of the Agriculture
Departments commodity stabi-
liZation service, over reports
that had reached him that the
cotton warehousemen would be
denied an increase in storage
rates on government-surplus
crops if the National Cotton
Council. of which they are a
part, testified in opposition to
the Kennedy farm bill.
In his letter, Mr.. Todd said
the warning came from an un-
named Agriculture Department
official in Washington to Boyce
Dyer Of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture, who in
turn relayed it to r. E. Evans
president of the Georgia Cotton
Warehouse Association.
Despite the reported warn
ing, the Cotton Council did
testify against the bill May 18.
Increases Denied
Last Friday the application
for a storage rate increase was
denied.
In a letter to Mr.. Todd dated
May 90, Mr.. Godfrey said the
Agriculture Department would
make the rate determination
solely on the merits of the case.
Il am unaware" he added, "of
any action by an employe Of
the department to predicate
the decision on any other basis,
as indicated in your letter."
The cotton association Off
cial then wired Senator Nc
Clellan, charging that instead
of tracing the threat to it's
source" the department Off
cials were implying that his
accusation was false.
Last Thursday, Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman was asked
about the matter in a Senate
Agriculture Committee hear
ing and replied, IT have
checked into them (the re-
portS) and I know of no
instances of any kind of CO.
ercion or compulSion of any
kind"
Gives Further Leads
Mr.. Todd told The Star to-
day he had been interviewed
twice by Mcclellan committee
investigators and had given
them further leads"
From other sources it was
learned today that the COM
mittee investigation is also
checking allegations of threats
by government officials to
representatives of the cattle
and poultry industries, among
others.
The Kennedy farm bill has
run into heavy opposition on
Capitol Hill. Hearings still are
in progress before the Senate
and House agriculture commit
tees.
