Alcorn Doubts
Party Chances
In November
WASHINGTON (In—Meade Al
corn, Republican national chair-1
man, said Tuesday "I just don't i
think it's in the cards" for the
party to capture control of the
Senate from the Democrats in the ;
November elections.
Alcorn, who made the state
ment
to newsmen after conferring
r i
with Presid nt Eisenhower, pre-1
dieted the epublicans will win
the House y a bare majority.
The De ocrats now control
both the H use and Senate.
c i
The Sena e division is now 49
Democrats a d 47 Republicans. In
the House, t e lineup is 232 Demo
crats and 19 Republicans. There
are five va ant seats—three for
merly held by Democrats and two
by Republicans. -
Alcorn reported to Eisenhower
on the party's prospects in No
vember on the basis of a recent
trip into several states.
Alcorn's, statement that he
thinks his `party's Senate chances
are not good is about as blunt an
admission as newsmen could ever
recall any national party leader's
making.
6 Navy Men 'Return'
From Moon Trip Study
PHILADELPHIA (R)—Six Navy
men returned from a week long
simulated trip to the moon Tues
day, all in apparent good health,
all admittedly bored and one man
clad only in his underwear.
The general consensus of the
volunteers was that the "trip"
was rather boring when they were
not engaged in work. The men
said they had little time for games
because only one man was at
complete 'leisure at any time.

McElroy
and its hostile leaders, McElroy
opened the adm,inistration's drive
on Capitol Hill to put through
Eisenhower's program.
Powerful opposition lies ahead,
in strongly entrenched positions.
McElroy encountered it at the
outset. Yet Chairman Vinson (1). 7
Ga.), a formidable foe of the, plan,
promised that the committee "will
consider the President's recom
mendations seriously, objectively,
and in detail, and with full aware
ness of the constitutional respon
sibility of Congress."
The secretary, in turn, prom
ised no penalties or retaliation
against civilians or
_men in uni
form who testify against the pro
gram.
The reorganization plan would'
give McElroy greater flexibility
over defense spending and con-I
greater authority over
the separate armed forces.
He relied heavily on Eisenhol.v
er's reputation and prestige as a
military man. He said it is the
plan of the President, that' the
judgment of a man with a "life
time of persona] e'perience,
peace and war," deply marked
every element in it.
The study may go on for weeks.
Only five of the 37 committee
'members had their chance to
question McElroy Tuesday.
Stassen Promises
New Labor Laws
Harold E. Stassen pledged Tues

Non-Crash
Device Said
In Planning
WASHINGTON (JP)—A spokes
'man for the Air Transport Asso
ciation said today the airlines
have been trying since 1954 to
develop a. device to prevent col
lisions like that over - Las Vegas
yesterday. •
Two lines of research are being
followed. John Roving, the Asso
ciation's vice president for public
relations, said. One is a Proximity
Warning Indicator and the other
a Collision Avoidance System
which would take command of
the plane in an emergency.
About a year ago, Hoving said,
ithe Collins Radio Corp. of Cedar
Rapids, lowa, thought it had the
problem licked with a PWI de
vice, and the airlines placed about
$2 million worth of orders. But
Having said Collins ran into tech
nical difficulties later and the de
vice was not produced.
Then the search moved into the
infra-red field, and tests were
made - of devices using the heat
principle of detecting flying ob
jects.
Roving said Aerojet General of
Arcadia, Calif., is developing a
PWI on the infra-red principle
but that "the thing has a lot of
technical difficulties."*lt seems to
work all right in the laboratory,
he added, and field tests have now
begun, .

Tito Warns Moscow
On Party in
LJUBLJANA, Yugoslavia VII---President Tito tartly ad
vised Moscow Tuesday to abandon attempts to force this
country's Communist party into a Kremlin-designed mold.
The Yugoslav leader's defiance of the Kremlin brought
delegates to their feet at the party's Seventh Congress. The
!hall rocked with applause each
'time Tito emphasized a difference
between Yugoslav and Soviet
ideology.
Tito's four-hour speech was a
retort to Moscow's boycott of
the congress. Tito did not men
lion the boycott specifically.
Tito's 35,000-word speech, dis
tributed in advance to the dele
gates, said Yugoslav-Soviet rela
tions were improving on the basis
of the 1955 Belgrade-Moscow de
claration after Nikita Khrush
, chev's pilgrimage of apology to
this country.
In delivery, Tito changed this
to read that relations "until today
were developing very success
fully."
The Russians obviously have
been stung by this turn of
events. In Moscow Tuesday
Peter Pospelov, a Soviet party
theoretician, lambasted the Yu
goslav party's draft program be
ing considered here.
He called it "a document aimed
at weakening the unity of the
Communist and workers' parties,
at weakening the unity of the
Socialist Communist-ruled" coun
tries."

Breakthrough
Seen in Battle
Against Cancer
WASHINGTON (W)-.—Senate in
vestigators were told today that
researchers may be nearing a
number of major breakthroughs
in the battle against cancer.
Dr. John. R. Heller, director of
the National Cancer Institute, told
the Senate Appropriations sub
conitnittee that "current studies
are substantially increasing our
understanding of viruses as a pos
sible cause of cancer."
If it .should be definitely estab
lished' that **certain forms of hu
man cancer are viral in origin,"
Heller said, "it might then be pos
sible to immunize man against the
disease."
He said one project supported
by the institute has developed a
vaccine which protects 80 per cent
of mice from a virus-caused dis
ease resembling leukemia.
Whether it would have applied
to human cancer, Heller said, is
still the object of research.
