Planes 10 Fly
IntoTornadoes
Hodges Inspects
Weather Croft
By WILLIAM GRIGG
Star Staff Writer

The Weather Bureau Will be-
gin flying four heavily inStru-
mented planes into tornadoes,
squall lines and other severe
storms next Wednesday, Com
merce Secretary Hodges an
nounced today after inspecting
two Of the planes to be used.
He poked through q DC-6
and looked over a high flying
jet B-57 at National Airport.
The planes are en- route to
Oklahoma City, center Of the
bureaus new Severe Storms
Project.
He asked Robert H. Simpson,
deputy director of the Bureaus
Office Of Meteorological Re-
search, what various pieces Of
equipment would do. The in
strumentS completely fill the
passenger space Of the big
deg.
The severe-storm program
will use the same planes that
the Weather Bureau flies into
hurricanes from July through
october. The tornado season
runs generally from March to
June.
More Planes Expected
The Air Force, National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration and other groups will
add nine more planes for the
tornado work, aimed at dis
covering the causes and action
of these storms.
Mr.. Simpson said the Wealth
er Bureaus planes will also be
used in another new program
to study jet streams, the mar
row core Of the westerly winds.
This program will begin next
December.
In it, scientists will try to
learn what makes nature con-
centrate so much energy in the
stream. Variations in the
stream caused the East's bad
winter weather. The high
stream is also important to air.
lines whose Jet planes ride it.
The DC-6 for the studies
boasts a system for recording
the readings of IS weather
probes for later analysis by
electronic equipment and study
by scientists. Humidity, pres
sure and wind direction and
speed data are collected.
Hope to Link Radar
One Of the major aims Of
the tornado project is to dis
cover If dangerous air condi-
tions can be correlated with
ground radar indications. This
would enable the Weather Bu-
reau to say with great certain
ty whether planes can safely
fly into storm areas.
Jet stream research, Mr.
Simpson said, may eventually
help the bureau predict snow
depths with great accuracy.
Equipment in the DC-6 car
record data 10 times q second
from each Of is probes. A
special gas turbine engine has
been added to the plane tc
supply power for the added in
struments.

Africans Pressing
For u. Action
Big Powers
Delays Irk
Delegates

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Mar. 10 (AP).-African dele
gates to the General Assembly
pressed today for immediate
debate on the Congo as the big
powers remained deadlocked
over whether to take up cold
war issues at the Assembly ses-
sion.
Leaders Of the powerful At
rican group. impatient over the
haggling between Russia and
the West that is delaying the
Assembly, were trying to con-
vince other delegates that since
the Congo must be discussed, it
should be discussed now.
The Africans argued that
this would keep the Assembly
moving and give the major ma
tions time to work out some
agreement on the agenda. But
agreement at this stage ap-
peared remote.
Diplomatic sources said So
Wet insistence on a full-dress
disarmament debate and re-
luctance Of other nations to
drop favorite issues may have
doomed chances for the cur
tailment in the session pro-
posed by Chief United States
Delegate Adlai E. Stevenson.
African Command Urged
No nation has yet asked that
the Assembly take up the
Congo, but Ghana and a num-
ber Of other African nations
are reported trying to muster
support for a debate early next
week. Yugoslavia, whose for
eign minister, Koca Popovic,
arrives today, is said to have
tEHown its support behind the
move.
The Assembly has before it
several Congo proposals-tha
latest presented at the reopen
ing of the Assembly Tuesday
by President Kwame Nkrumah
of Ghana.
Mr.. Nkrumah wants the U. N.
Congo operation put under a
primarily African" command.
He also called for departure of
foreign diplomatic missions,
expulsion Of non-African per-
sonnel, disarming of Congoless
troops and freedom for all po-
litical prisoners. Many other
African states ana most Con%
golese leaders oppose Mr.
Nkrumah's plan.
KaSavubu Asks Delay
Russia has proposed that all
U. N. forces get out of the
Congo within a month. The
Soviet demand was defeated IN
the Security Council last
month, but the Russians are
expected to renew them in the
Assembly.
Early Assembly discussion of
the Congo is opposed by Congo
President Joseph Kasavubu
and other Congolese political
leaders now meeting on the
island of Madagascar. They
asked that the debate be held

been replaced, but declined to
discuss the circumstances. A
veteran Of 81 years of service,
he said he viii retire soon.
The Navy information Of
flee said. in reply to a query,
that Comdr. James has not
been relieved Of all duties"
The Navy said Comdr. James
is remaining in the clearance
review branch under an Of
ficer senior to him, who had
been moved into the branch.
1t added that this was "in-
ternal administrative action
taken to strengthen the office"
The new chief Is Comdr. Merle
McBain.
Article Against Policy
Informed sources, however,
said Comdr. James was blamed
for passing an article that
went against Navy policy and
not for permitting any viola
ton Of security.
The article was said to have
aroused the ire Of Vice Admiral
Robert B. Pirie, Deputy Chief
of Naval Operations for Air,
who complained to Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke, Chief Of
Naval Operations. Admiral
Burke, in turn, is reported to
have taken the matter UP with
Rear Admiral Daniel Smith,
Navy Chief Of Information.

Warn Of Religious
Strife in Making
BY DAVID s. BRODER
Star Staff Writer


Baptist and Jewish Spokes-
men told Congress today that
religious strife will result If the
Government heeds the pleas of
Catholic Church leaders for
Federal loans to parochial
schools.
Representatives Of the Amer
lean Jewish Congress and the
Baptist Joint Committee on
Public Affairs said in state
mentS to a Senate Education
Subcommittee that such loans
are clearly unconstitutional.
The administrative board Of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference last week said it
would oppose any aid to edu-
cation bill that excluded loans
to private and parochial
schools. The Kennedy admin
istration proposal is limited
to grants to public schools
c. Emanuel Carlson, execu-
tive director Of the Baptist
group, said today "the bishops
Of the Roman Catholic Church
are really aiming not at
bona fide loans but at credit
relations which involve i'm
mediate or future aid.
Should the Federal Govern
ment set up an aid program,
even under the guiSe Of loans, I"
he said, 1t would represent an
obvious violation Of separation
of church and state"
Jewish Congress Concurs
The same view was taken by
Max Jampelman, Washington
counsel for the American jew
ish Congress.
Loans would hardly be
sought If they were not q form
OF aid" he said. "A loan pro-
gram would still be a use Of tax
money 70 rthe benefit Of reli-
gious institutions. 1t would still
involve the government in reli-
giouS affairs. and religion in
government affairs.
TT would, in short, be a
breach In the wall Of separa-
ton, carrying with it all the
evils which that wall was de-
signed to prevent"
The two groups made their
stands known as moves to
separate the sensitive issue of
parochial school aid from the
general education aid bill drew
increasing support from con.
greSsional Democrats.
Rabbi Balfour Brickner of
Temple Sinai in Washington
warned that once public funds
are made available for religious
schools, conflict and rivalry will
inevitably follow" Federal off,
cials responsible for making the
loans would be under "unceasing
pressure" he declared.

legislative battle to give Mary
land its first regulation of the
savings and loan industry.
Action in the Senate was by
unanimous vote. It followed ap-
proval Of the bill in the House
yesterday after a bitter ex-
change on the House floor.
After yesterdays vote in the
House. Democratic Majority
Leader A. Gordon Boone casti-
gated the chairman Of the
commission that drafted the
original legislation introduced
in the General Assembly but
which was altered considerably
before final passage.
Agree on Compromise
Object Of Mr.. Boone's re-
marks was Richard Case, Bal
timore attorney, who headed
the commission appointed by
Gov. Tawes last year.
Mr.. Boone said that Mr..
Case had "overstepped his
bounds" in the bitter argu-
ments which have enveloped
the savings and loan legisla-
tion during the current session.
The original Case bill was
shot full of amendments in
the House Ways and Means
Committee despite an admoni-
tion from the Governor and
Mr.. Case that it should not be
changed. The Governor and
Mr.. Case receded from their
position, however. and a COM
promise was worked out Mon
day. .s-
Case Wins Point
On Wednesday, the House
passed the compromise bill,
but Mr.. Case charged that
some language had been put
into 1t which had not been
agreed on during the meeting
with Gov. Tawes. The Cover
nor called in legislative leaders
again yesterday and smoothed
out the ruffles. The bill was
recalled by the House and
passed again with the language
which offended Mr.. Case
stricken out.
Mr.. Boone charged on the
floor that what occurred last
night was a direct insult to the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee and the chairman of
the subcommittee which draft
ed the amendments to the
bill"
He said Mr.. Case acted in an
irresponsible fashion" by call
ing members Of the press and
implying there had been sub
terfuge" in the handling Of
the amendments.
There certainly has been
no subterfuge and for Mr.. Case
to come out and say there has
been tampering is shameful" "
he said. Commissions are ap-
pointed and not anointed.
When Mr.. Case is elected to
the Legislature he can come
down here and cast his vote. 4"

security boss was assigned
for routine administrative
reasons, he said.
("Neither Comdr. James

Admiral Smith said. "Comdr.

Shopping For Sheets?

Save your pennies, ladies for
August white sales will be coming
up soon and sheets and pillow
cases will be available at bargain
rates, according to Miss Janet
Reed, extension clothing special
ist at the University of Delaware.
When rummaging through white
sale display cases. Miss Reed sug-
gests you keep in mind that sheets
should be long and wide enough
to cover the top and sides of the
mattress with six or seven inches
remaining to tuck under on all
sides. Top sheets should be long
enough to provide for an Is to 20
inch turnback over the blankets
to keep them clean. Contour sheets
should be purchased to fit mat
tresses exactly.
Pillow cases should be five or
six inches longer and two to three
inches larger around than the pill
lows says Miss Reed If pillow
cases are too samll, they'll make
the pillows seem firmer and fatter
and they're more difficult to put
on the pillows. Pillow cases that
are too large allow the pillows to
slide around inside and do not give
a neat appearance.
Sheet sizes are printed on the
labels but remember" warns Miss
Reed, that these measurements
were taken before the shet was
hemmed So if the label says the
sheet is los inches long, this means
that the piece of fabric was that
long before it was made into a
sheet. Sheet hens usually take up
five to six inches of the length
and shrinkage may reduce the
length by another five to six in
ches So sheet that measured
los inches before hemming may
only measure SO inches after it
has been Numbered. Be sure to
make allowances for both hens and
shrinkage when determining the
size sheets you need
When purchasing contour sheets,
it is particularly important to
check to see that they are guaran-
teed not to shrink more than one
percent, Miss Reed points out Con-
tour sheets don't have to shrink
much before they no longer fit
the mattress. With pillow cases.
you should allow about 16 inches
for lengthwise shrinkage only she
says There will be little shrink
age in width.
Sheets and pillow cases are a
valuable in muslin and percale fab
ric Percale white goods are softer.
smoother, and easier to launder
than muslin. But muslin is less
costly and heavier muslin is more
durable than percale, Miss Reed
points out.
