Washington got a look at the
new Pat Brown" yesterday
and agreed that the California
Governor has indeed changed.
Physically, he's dropped about
20 pounds, but even more i'm
portant he seems to have shed
the indeciSiveneSS that made
him the butt of jokes at the
1860 Democratic convention.
The new Brown" looks and
acts as tough as Marine ser
geant-and he says he has his
California reelection situation
we'll in hand.
There was a time when Gov.
Brown trembled visibly at the
prospect of running against
former Vice President Richard
Nixon. Earlier this month, how
ever. the California Poll showed
he had overtaken Mr.. Nixon's
early lead. Now the Governor
says, I've never been in a
campaign I enjoyed more"
Strongman Role
Yesterday he jetted in from
the Coast for six hours of busi-
ness in Washington and at
every step in the proceedings
he was playing the strongman
role.
When he testified on the
mass transit bill before a Senate
subcommittee, Senator Javits
of New York, the only Repub-
lican present, said he was sorry
he couldn't join the Democratic
Senators in wishing Gov. Brown
well in the campaign. "As you
know" he said, II have a friend
in that race"
Gov. Brown fixed him with a
Steely eye and said: mo, I had
no idea he was a friend of
yours"
Leaving Senator Javits to
face the laughter, he huzzed
down to the Commerce Depart

U. S. Planning to Sell
Excess MoIybdenum

The General Services Admin
istration announced yesterday
a plan for disposal Of five
million pounds of molybdenum
contained in molybdenite con-
centrates which have been de-
clared excess to stockpile re-
quirementS.
The agency said that in view
Of a current shortage in the
United States supply of moly-
bdenum, its proposal to offer
the material in sales scheduled
over 18 months should have
little effect on markets.
Disposal of the material,
used in steel alloys, requires
approval of Congress. The de-
termination Of excess was made
by the Office of Emergency
Planning.

Progress Reported
InHydrogen-Fusion In

hydrogen that is one ingredient
of a possible H-power reaction,
is present in ordinary water.
Lithium, the raw material for
another type of hydrogen also
used in the H-reaction, is
about 100 times as common in
the earth's crust as uranium.
Because temperatures of mil
lions of degrees are needed to
start a fusion reaction, these
special hydrogen gases cannot
be contained in any material
vessel. Magnetic fields must be
used, and the problem at pres
ent is to make the fields
strong enough and the gas as
placid enough that the reaction
has time to occur and power to
be generated.

5 Areas Studied
For Missile Bases
By the Associated Press

The Air Force is serveying
some parts of Alaska, the Ha-
waiian Islands and Guam to
determine if the areas are suit
able for constructing under
ground missile launching bases.
1t was understood the Air
Force has in mind possibly plac-
ing 6,300-mile-range Minute
man intercontinental ballistic
missiles in those regions.
The Air Force already is
building bases within the
United States for 600 Minute
men and has chosen Warren
Air Force Base in Wyoming as
the center for another wing of
200 Of the missiles.

THE NEW PAT BROWN
He's Slim and Decisive

more than a few cases, I can
tell you in all honesty that ]
never went into a case with
more confidence that the facts
were on my side than I do
entering this campaign. I have
a record that will stand scru-
tiny. They may obscure it a
little with arguments, but the
facts will come out"
How did he account for his
overtaking Mr.. Nixon in the
poll?
We'll" said Gov. Brown
without hesitation, 1.-The main
reason Nixon is in trouble is
that he's pressing. He can't
find issues to justify this cam
paign.
HE got into this thing with
out checking the facts. He ran
because he was a great national
figure and he thought ne could
have anything he wanted. Now
he's found he doesn't have a
single valid issue and he doesn't
know what to do"
Not Being Subtle
There was a good deal of
talk at lunch about his con-
verSationS with President Ken
nedy on the ALLEGATION of de-
fenSe contracts. One reporter
wanted to know if all these
references were "a subtle re-
minder of the advantage a
Democrat has in dealing with
a Democratic administration. :"
Nothing subtle about it at
ALL" the Governor shot back.
"As Governor of California,
I have a responsibility to get
all the business from the Fed
.eral Government I can. That's
what I'm doing. Everything I
want to accomplish out there in
the next four years is depend
ent on good business. Now,
that's not subtle, is it?"
That's the new Pat Brown.

MOSCOW, April 26 (AP).-
Two changes in top level Com
munist Party personnel wert
announced today in Pravda
This set off new studies among
westerners as to what is going
on behind the Kremlin walls
Up went Alexei P. Kirilenko
and down-or at least over
went Ivan Spiridonov. Both
are in their middle SOS, often
the years of power or failure in
the Communist scramble.
The Communist Party news
paper published a brief note
saying Mr.. Kirilenko had been
elevated to the party presi-
dium, a high post in world
communism. after having been
dropped last fall from can
didate membership. He has
been a party official for 30
years.
"A New Job
The same note said Mr..
Spiridonov had been relieved
of his post as one of the secre-
taries of the party's central
committee in order to become
chairman of the Soviet of the
union, the house of Parliament
which is elected on a popula-
ton basis.
This Craftsmanship has a big
but little power. It is
the Craftsmanship of an organ
ization which sits rarely and
then only as a part of Parlia-
ment which ratifies what other
party authorities present to it.
Chosen for Attack
Apparently Mr.. Spiridonov
still retains his job for the time
being as party chief in the
Leningrad area. Whether he
can hold on to it now that he

Rapid progress" in vital re-
search fields has given scien-
lists new hope that they may be
able to harness the hydrogen
fusion force that makes the
sun burn.
This was the gist of a prog
resS report given to physicists
yesterday at a meeting of the
American Physical Society. DR..
Arthur E. Ruark, chief of H
power research for the Atomic
Energy Commission, headed a
panel discussion developments
IN this field.
Temperatures as high as
that in the suns center are
now being produced commonly
and are being used to heat
electrically charged gases to
levels sufficient to produce fu-
sion Of atoms, DR.. Ruark said.
The big problem now is Con-
tainment"- the gases
at these fierce heats long
enough to make the fusion
process work.
There have been many fine
advances in the last year."
DR.. Ruark said. THE Western
European countries are now
coming along fast after a late
start"
Billion Degrees
In this country, he pointed
out, scientists have shown it
is possible to heat gas to a
billion degree, which sis hotter
than we need-we would like
to have it cooler" One group
of experimenters has reported
containing a very rarified gas
in a magnetic field for more
than half a minute. No one
has yet performed both feats
simultaneously.
1t has taken 10 years and
about $160 million in this
country alone to get this far
along in thermometer re-
search, DR.. Ruark said. If
hydrogen power proves to be
pesSible-and this is by no
means a certainity-it probably
will take another decade of
good, hard research" he esti-
mated.
Readily Available
DR.. Ruark said the Acc is
budgeting about $25 million a
year for hydrogen research. In
addition, the Navy is support
ing a small program, and uni
versities and industrial con-
Germs are also doing work along
this line.
Interest in hydrogen-fusion
power stems from number of
considerations. Probably the
primary one is fuel availability.
