Democrat Appointees
Face Going-Over by
Democratic Senate
Washington (U.R) Congres
sional sources hinted today that
President Eisenhower's Demo
cratic appointees hereafter can
expect a going-over from the
Democratic Senate about as

What the senators will want
to know is whether the Repub

Drink-Crazed Man
Kills Wife, Two
Small Daughters
Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) A
drink-crazed physicist who vow
ed he was "on the wagon" shot
and killed his wife and two small
daughters and attempted to take
his own life by poisoning last
night, police said.
Dr. Howard Johnson, 37, was
reported in critical condition at
University of Michigan Hospital
from what a hospital spokesman
described as "apparently a bar
biturate." Police said Johnson, who last
was employed as a radio shop
repairman, pumped five shots
into his wife's head and a sixth
Into her heart and shot each of
his daughters through the head.
Ha then telephoned his brother-in-law,
Dr. G. D. Porterfield,
Houghton Lake, Mich., 200 miles
away, and told him of the shoot
ings. Local authorities said they
found the body of Mrs. Margerie
Johnson, 35, lying on the floor
in front of a picture window in
the Johnson's "well-furnished,"
three-bedroom home.
A year-old daughter, Margaret,
was found dead jn her crib and
Barbara, 3, was sprawled in a
iwivel "television" chair near
her mother. Police said the bul
let which killed Barbara also
struck her mother in the leg.
ing men for jobs which by law
are supposed to go to Democrats,
is picking "regular" or "Eisen
hower" Democrats.
Speaker Sam Rayburn was re
ported to have compained to
House Democrats yesterday that
neither he nor Senate Demo
cratic Leader Lyndon B. John
son had been consulted by the
administration on any of its
Democratic nominees to boards
and commissions which by law
are bipartisan.
Rayburn also was quoted by
members who heard him as
charging that the administration
was attempting a policy of "re
peal by appointment." He said
it was doing so by naming to
such agencies as the Federal
Communications Commis s i o n,
Civil Aeronautics Administra
tion and Securities & Exchange
Commission members not sym

Russia Urges in UN
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)
Russia today urged the U.N. Se
curity Council to condemn Is
rael for the Dec. 12 attack on
Syrian forces at the Sea of Gali
lee and to warn it that further
raids may result in sanctions
against Israel.
In a resolution submitted to
the council for consideration at
its meeting Thursday, the Soviet
Union made an open bid to cur
ry Arab favor.
The measure toned down only
slightly a draft resolution sub
mitted to the council by Syria on
Dec. 22. The Syrian resolution
cannot be acted upon unless a
council member sponsors it.
The Soviet resolution called
for Israeli compensation to
Syria for "loss of life and dam
age to property."
However, it omitted Syria's
demand for Israel's expulsion
from the United Nations.
US Navy Engineers Stage
Life-Like Ocean Storms
New York (U.R) U. S
Navy engineers stage life- like
ocean storms only a stone's
throw from the nation's capital
, to help find ways of building
better and more economical
ships and, in the process, they're
uncovering ways of safeguarding
against seasickness by decreas
ing the pitch andQroll.
Before millions of dollars are
invested in building the real
thing, Navy ships-to-be are put
through grueling tests in the

Largest Budget Given
Bible Society3 Okeh
New York (U.R) A budget
for 1956 of $3,858,000 has been
approved by the American Bible
Society's advisory council and
Ms board .of managers. The coun
cil is composed of 55 denomina
tions and 17 church organiza
tions.
The new budget represents the
largest peace-time financial pro
gram ever adopted by the so
ciety, whose sole functions are
the translation, publication and
distribution of the Bible without
note or comment and encourage
ment of reading the Scriptures.
The council cited emergency
needs and an expanded program
as reasons for the increase in
budget. Church denominations
ibscribed $900,000 this., year
and agreed to try to reach $1,-
400,000 by 1958, to meet the
heavier demands for Scriptures
Chile Union Leaders
Declare Strike 'Flop'
Santiago, Chile (U.R) Rebel
lious union leaders joined offi
cial spokesmen today in declar
ing in effect yesterday's anti-
goverment "general strike" was
a flop.
The walkout ordered by the
Labor Federation was relatively
effective in the coal and nitrate
mines, but the vital public-serv
ice industries the federation had
hoped to paralyze had scarcely
more absenteeism than is nor
mally expected on a Monday,
Leaders of the federation, aft
er an all-night meeting "some
where in Santiago," ordered the
handful of textile workers, met
al workers, construction work
ers and whitle collar workers
who supported the strike to re
turn to work today.
the largest laboratory of its kind
in the world.
There, into indoor channels
20 and 50 foot wide and more
than half a mile long, innova
tions in hull design, structure
and powering are pretested with
wood or wax models. Problems
in navigating and mooring, the
behavior of objects falling thru
the water, the way sound trav
els underseas, the effects of ex
plosions on a ship's structure,
development of underwater tel
evision, and dozens of other re
lated subjects are under study.
At speeds up to 60 knots per
hour, ship models are towed
through the water by electrical
ly operated carriages made of
steel tubing which travel on
rails running alongside. Precis
ion instruments are carried eith
er on the carriage or the ship
model.
Waves simulating ocean con
ditions that could better ships to
pieces are controlled by engin
eers while every stress and
strain, pitch and roll of the mod
el is recorded. Men on the car
riage and operators of wave ma
chines coordinate the operation
by short wave radio.
Steelways, magazine of Amer
ican Iron and Steel Institute, re
ports that an estimated $500,000
can be saved in fuel and ma
chinery costs in the life of a
ship if its efficiency can be in
creased by one per cent in the
laboratory stage.
A major project at the Basin
is devising ways for minimizing
the pitch and roll of ships at
sea to reduce wear and tear and
get higher speed, more accurate
firing, easier disembarking and
less seasickness- While the Navy
has made some progress ap
proaching the problem of sea
sickness medically, it has at
tacked it at the Basin by chang
es in hull shapes and by new
methods of navigation which de
crease pitch and roll.
FREIGHTER AGROUND
Seattle (U.R) A freighter,
the C. R. Musser, owned by the
Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., was
aground for one hour and 20
minutes last night, but an in
coming tide and the power of
the ship's engines got her afloat
about 12:30 a.m. today.
