Main Phone 2-4585 Secret FBI Data May End McCarthy Plans, Demos Say Washington, Mar. 25 U.R Senate Democrats suggested to day that secret FBI data shown them may wash out Senator Jo seph R. McCarthy's main 'com munism case" against the state department. The Democrats, who refused to be quoted directly, said tne data contained nothing to prove McCarthy's charge that a man connected with the state depart ment is Russia's boss spy in the United States. The Wisconsin Republican in sists that this is the makc-or-break case on which he is pre pared to stake his entire indict ment of the state department se curity setup. Gives Big Analysis FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover gave a "complete analysis" of the alleged spy's FBI loyalty file to one Republican and three Dem ocratic members of a senate judi ciary subcommittee at a secret meeting in the Justice depart ment. The Democrats subsequently told reporters that if tlmt whs McCarthys chief case, they saw "no cause for worry." But McCarthy was not expect ed to be as easily satisfied, and at least one powerful Democrat agreed with him. Senator Walter F. George (D., Ga.) warned that the administration is inviting a "whitewash" charge unless it re leases the full loyulty files to senate investigators. HOT SEAT FORGOTTEN Jackson, Miss. (U.Rl Gov.

Pennsylvania fixed the fird closed season on squirrels in 1841. which John Lang still heads, has expanded until lis proaucis are in use all over the world. It has grown particularly fast during the last five years, since the gov ernment built a mammoth steel wnrks nnw a nrivate ODefation, at Geneva, only a few miles south of Salt Lake city, to mcei the west's mounting demand for steel. Two years ago, Lang felt a need for a device that could test efficiency of welds of the ma chinery and vessels he was fabri catinc in his sprawling shops and yards.

End Chrysler Strike Believed 'In Sight' Detroit, Mar. 25 (U.R) The end of the Chrysler strike sec ond longest and expensive in port automotive history was in sight today. With the big stumbling block of funded pensions out of the way, negotiators scheduled ses sions tomorrow that may begin to spell the end of the 60-day walkout. "The principle of whether pen sions should be funded or not has been settled." a United Auto Workers' rpokesman said. "We're down to dollars-and-cents bar gaining now." Pensions of $100 backed up with something besides the com pany's promise to pay touched off the walkout January 25. Chrysler gave ground Friday, agreeing to put $30,000,000 aside to assure continuous payments of pensions to its 89.000 workers. STILL RE-CONFISCATED Cnrtcrsville, Ga.

E. Mat son, of the Pacific northwest forest and range experiment sta tion, in charge of the group con ducting the studies. The project is a cooperative en deavor by the experiment station. the West Coast Lumbermen s as sociation, the bureau of land management, the regional office of the forest service, and the forest products laboratory in Madison. Wis. Furnish Manpower All these groups have lur nished men to work on the sur vey, and there are 10 here to conduct the project.

(U.R) A baby daughter was born at 9 a.m. at the homiiof Mrs. Grant Butchers. An ambulance took mother and daughter to the hospital. Fifty minutes later, the stork found the new address and delivered Mrs. Bulchcr's twin boy. the state, but this is the first such project in southern Oregon. The Kogap Lumber industries is cooperating with the project, and the survey is being made at the firm's plant south of Med ford Douglas fir lumber, which differs in characteristics here from the same species in the north, is the only type being studied. The project is officially termed ; a 'lumber grade recovery study," and it is hoped that with the results cruisers and log scal ers can be able to tell with a high degree of accuracy just how much usable lumber, for what purposes, is contained in any given type of log. Follow Logi Through Logs are followed all the way through the cutting process, from the uncut log to the finished product. Every third log is marked and numbered, and then graded according to the Colum bia river grading and scaling rules. A laboratory man will dia gram the log for all defects, and then members of the team fol low the lumber through each process. The project will take about two weeks to complete, at which time the team will go to the Cape Arago Lumber company at Em pire, Ore., for similar studies in that area. Cold Waters Of Lake Heat Minnesota Home Minneapolis U.R) An electri cal engineer is using the icy waters of Lake Minnetonka to heat his home. Robert Fillmore, a University of Minnesota engineering instruc tor, decided to demonstrate some of the theories he teaches by ex perimenting with his home on the lake. He built a pump from mater ials bought from a retail store. The pump draws in 39-dcgrcc cold water from the lake and circulates it through a chemical agent which lowers the tempera ture to 36 degrees, like a freezing unit. Extracts Units The pump extracts some 25 British thermal units of heat from each gallon of water. The three degrees of heat generated as the water, temperature is dropped is pumped in the form of warm water through a net work of small pipes located in the ceiling of his home. The operation maintains the home's temperature between 74 and 76 degrees, and the system gives a constant temperature from floor to ceiling. Fillmore says he pays a $150 electric bill for the pump in a normal winter season. That's about what it would cost to heat his home with oil. MILLSTONES LAST Sturbridge, Mass.
