vould not resign. Two subcommit

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

Schwartz. :
The 34-year-old subcommittee

to halt the probe of the FCC. He
said the issue raised over his
expenses is "nn attempt to divert

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

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.

anj tne Air Force could shoot
rtckets as far as the moon this
year.
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." Engineering and other pre
liminary work on such a recon
naissance vehicle has been under
way for some time., He said that
th nreiect s "not at the hard
