He said that it's Just a mat

will be able to get places
faster by walking than by
driving.
The Russian major parried
questions about which country
would land a man on the moon
first and about the existence
of God.
He said his grandfather be

grandmother did not, and kept
throwing religious pictures
out the window. The grand
mother, he said, is still alive,

'We have an example here
that belief in God docs not

Titov declined to say who
would be first on the moon,

some Joint space flights by So

wait until the two nations

Preparing Plan
To Unload Stock
Washington - Kin - The
government's strategic stock
pile Is loaded with 5,044,000
pounds of quartz crystal
more than eight times the es
timated need for a three-year
war and 25 times annual U.S.
consumption, Senate investi
gators were told today.
Some of the stockpiled crys
tals are "junk," an adminis
tration official told Sen. Stu
art Symington's special armed
services Investigating sub
committee. Disposal Planned
The official, William N.
Lawrence, an assistant direc
tor in the Office of Emergen
cy Planning, said the admin
istration was preparing a
plan to dispose of surplus
supplies.
But selling even 5 or 10
per cent of the stockpile
would break the world mar
ket, Lawrence testified.
Lawrence said th- govern
ment bought most of the crys
tals from Brazil during the
period from World War II
until 1956. The purchases in
cluded 897,000 subspecifica
tion crystals, he said.
The government is trying
to unload the substandard
supplies now but there seems
to be few buyers, he testified.
Lawrence said the sub.
standard quartz wound up in
the stockpile because contrac
tors "kind of swept up the
floor" when purchasing con
tracts were terminated.
Officials' Criticised
Symington criticized gov
ernment officials for saying
in a previously classified doc
ument that the stockpile was
in position to profit by $28
million in the quartz transactions.
Symington said the docu
ment assigned a "strictly fic
titious" market value of $90.8
million to the stockpiled
quartz. He said this assumed
that all the quartz could be
sold at the present market
price of 90 cents a pound.
Lawrence said the ovcrsup
ply of quartz was based on
a very sharp reduction in
military requirements and on
the rapid development of syn
thetics. Quartz crystals are
used in electronic communi
cations equipment,
