The firinz of Schwartz in a dis pute over his expense vouchers could lead to a lengthy delay in the urouo's nrobe of the FCC and other reeulatorv agencies.

The device can be in stalled on any destroyer with 5 inch gun turrets at relatively low cost. A spokesman said tests have hown RAT to be "exceedingly accurate." The Navy said a rocket propels RAT from a destroyer over the target area, then a parachute low ers the missile to the surface of the sea. At this point the homing torpedo plunges beneath Die sur face and seeks out the enemy sub.

J Meekle Scrutiny By ain of his expense accounts total ng $400. But he predicted: "They ire going to fire me." He said he vould not resign. Two subcommit ee members, one a critic and the )ther a backer of Schwartz, agreed he was probably on his way out. Schwartz contended he is being ousted because he wanted public hearings that he said would go into some cases of White House influence. The Washington Post quoted him as saying "we have actual evidence" that Sherman Adams. President Eisenhower's top aide, "has played a pnrt in cases in volving several (regulatory) agen cies." Without going into details, Schwartz also said the hearings would have touched on Secretary .troo SnSec .afCo i rceRl!"1 ' the nrl R Mnri-iiv .lr nn tmilnnti.

The transcript of a ' .i..,,i ,i,. , . on Jan. 30 showed Schwartz was the source of the leak. Questions about Schwartz's own expenses arose over tho weekend when the Tulsa (Ukla.i Tribune published a story saying the coun sel had received $400 in expense money for four weekends in New York. The Trihuno slory, filed from its Washington bureau, said part of the money was tagged for hotel expenses. However, the dis patch said Schwartz had his own apartment in New York. Asked about the Tribune slory. Schwartz called it "(he sheerest nonsense." He acknowledged re ceiving $400.73 for what he said were trips to New York last Au gust on oflicial business. But he ciwlended none ot the money was lor hotel costs and that his actual expenses came to $1,000. Schwartz said he paid the difference out ol his own lunds.

Civil Right Battle In House Seen WASHINGTON W - An un- heralded civil rights fight moved to the House floor today, threaten' ing to catch many absent mem bers off guard. It involves financing for the six member Civil Rights Commission and its staff created by the contro versial 1957 civil rights law. The fight could delay action on this year's first regular money bill, to finance the White House and gen eral government matters. Many House members, antici pating no controversy, had ar ranged to be out of the city for Lincoln Day speeches and other matters President Eisenhower has asked Congress to provide $200,000 for the commission s current year ac tivities and $750,000 for its fiscal year 1959 work starting next July l. The House Appropriations Com mittee excluded the $750,000 from a money bill which comes up for a possible vote today. It indicated that it would take a dim view of the $200,000 request unless the commission is more firmly estab lished. The committee noted in a for mal report that the two money re quests were prepared by persons not assocciated with the commis sion." and cited the fact that a staff director has not yet been appointed. The six commission members have been sworn in under recess appointments, but the Senate has not yet confirmed the appoint ments, nor even ordered commit tee hearings on them. The commission is charged with investigating reports of civil rights violations and making recommen dations covering the broad field of rights of minority groups. Rep. Andrews (D-Ala), chair man of an Appropriations subcom mittee that considered the com mission's budget, said the commit tee could not justifiably recom mend money, for an operation that is not even a going concern. For that reason, he said, the committee deferred action on the request for the $750,000 and "it would appear at this writing that the same situation will prevail with respect to the $200,000 lo be considered later.

Maj. Gen, John B. Medaris, chief of the Army Ballistic Mis sile Agency at Huntsville, Ala., said the Army could put a satel lite in orbit around the moon within months, if it got permis sion to try. Medaris also said on a television interview that the Army could send a manned ex pedition to the moon in 15 years. Defense Department missiles specialists said the Air Force's 1,500-mile-r a n g e Thor missile could be augmented by additional rocket stages to send a payload to the moon this year. So far, the department has given no or ders for such a try. The payload in a moon rocket would include radio transmitters for sending back information on the flisht and a snotter charge to mark the rocket's impact on the moon, the experts said. The Air Force's moon rocket ca pabilities were discussed in a Pentagon briefing which covered various advances in American missile and antimissile missile re search and development. The Army used its Jupiter-C rocket in modified form to launch America's first earth satellite, the Explorer, Jan. 31. The Ex plorer still is speeding around the earth. Medaris said he expects an other satellite try sometime be tween now and April 1. This sec ond satellite would be the same size around 30 pounds but with more advanced instruments he said. ' He spoke of future attempts to launch 100-pound ' and 500-pound space vehicles. Russia's second Sputnik, still aloft, weighs half a ton. He said the timing of an effort to put up a 500-pound satellite with photographic equipment de pends on "how soon they tell me to go ahead and give me the mon ey."
