Wilson, after removing the ap- parent big obstacle to his becom- ing secretary of defense, was nom- inated last night to fill that re- maining post in the Eisenhower Cabinet. The Senate promptly moved to give Wilson a hearing preparatory to the quick approval predicted by a number of influential senators. President Eisenhower formally named the former president of General Motors. to head the vitally important Defense Department af- ter, the White House said, Wilson volunteered to dispose of his GM stock. Wilson’s retention of a financial interest in the company had aroused. strohg opposition in the Senate. As a result, Eisenhower left out.the defense secretaryship ' when he submitted the names of his other Cabinet choices on Tues- day. tn the defense post, Wilson would be in position to deal with GM, the \department’s biggest private contractor.

Chairman’ Saltonstall (R-Mass) summoned Wilson to a closed ses- sion of the Senate Armed Serv- ices Committee today. Saltonstall said. the Cabinet designee would “clarify” his previous testimony it he would not give up his GM stock and would deal, as secretary, with the firm he once headed. Saltonstall told a reporter he be- lieves this anticipated switch in Wilson’s stand will win him ap- proval by the committee. Senators Byrd (D-Va), who first cited the legal ban, and Russell (D-Ga) “T hope the Senate will follow the recommendation of the armed services committee,” Saltonstall said. Most «senators who could be reached seemed to think that it would, although a few expressed some reservations. In any event, considerable debate appeared like- ly if and when the appointment goes to the Senate floor. That prob- ably will not be until sometime next week. Eisenhower’s formal nomination of Wilson, announced at 7:25 last night, at least brought to a head the controversy which has con- fronted the new Republican ad- ministration with its first crisis. The brief announcement by White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said: “The president has sent to the Senate the nomination of Charles E. Wilson as Secretary of de- fense. Mr. Wilson visited the Pres- ident this evening and volunteered his intention to dispose of all his stock in General Motors.” There was some indirect indica- tion that the President had a hand | in Wilson’s decision. A Republican senator who declincd to be quoted by name said the former GM pres- ident had, right up to the White House conference, maintained his refusal to sell the stock. Wilson is said to have told the Senate committee, at a hearing held before his formal nomination, that his GM stock is worth about 2% million dollars and that he would lose as much as $600,000 in taxes by selling it now. The announcement that Wilson would sell the stock he now holds brought words of praise from a number of senators. “I think Wilson is a man of in- tegrity and his decision is right,” Byrd said. Sen. Capehart (R-Ind) said he now has no doubts that Wilson will be confirmed, and he added “His action stamps him as a great American making a great sacrifice in order to serve his country.” Sen. Hunt (D-Wyo) voiced con- fidence Wilson would maké a bona fide sale, not just a transfer to | his wife or another relative, and said he expects to vote for Wilson Sen.

(®—That fellow you couldn’t help bumping into all over Jackson County to- day was Harry S. Truman. Just to look at him, strolling along the sidewalks,-with an in- fectious grin on his face, you would never guess three days ago he was president of the United States if you hadn’t seen his pic- ture in the papers so often. The new ex-President was tak- ing the problem of adjustment af- ter nearly eight years in the White House, with all its attendant bur- dens, in easy stride. And so.was Jackson County— Kansas City, where he has his new private offices; Independence, where he and Mrs. Truman live in the big white frame house on North Delaware Street; and Grandview, where his family has a farm. When you consider that this 68- year-old man, with the blue eyes twinkling beneath his thick lensed spectacles, came home only Thurs- day night after turning over the White House to Dwight D. Eisen- hower, you had to admit that the adjustment was coming along fine. This reporter, bumped into Tru- man at his offices on the 11th floor of the Federal Reserve Bank Build- ing, where the ex-President tack- led the job of answering hundreds of letters and telegrams. “I feel like a country boy in the big city again,’ Truman as- serted. He said that he didn’t know what kind of job he would take and qoulsn’t make a decision for some time on the many offers he has received. i “But I won’t do anything that would reflect on, or commercial. ize, the great office I have held,’ he said. At the present time, he added, he does not consider there is any possibility that he will run for con- gress, and he doesn’t think that he will seek any office again. What he would like to do is to get away with Mrs. Truman and his daughter Margaret for a long rest. ‘After all, he pointed out, practically everybody’ else “who participated in last year’s hectic political campaign has done so. The most noticeable thing about Truman when you run into him in Jackson County nowadays is the absence of the Secret Service body- guard that surrounded him when he was president. But he does have two body- guards, both former members of Battery D, of the 35th Division’s 129th Field Artillery which Tru- man commanded in France in 1918. They are Sgt. Arthur Bell, a member of the state highway pa- trol who was assigned to guard Truman during a period of adjust- ment, and Lt. Fred Rolfers, of the Kansas City police department, to look after him when he goes into Kansas City.

Associated Press Science Reporter CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (®—A will- of-the-wisp chemical element that exists for less than a millionth of a second is aiding atomic research, a famous scientist said. The short-lived substance is called “‘mesonium.” Man can cause it to form in the laboratory. Dr. Enrico Fermi of the Univers- ity of Chicago told a reporter it is science’s newest yardstick for measuring the size of the nucleus, may well become the most accur- ate means of taking such a mea- surement. The measurement of the nuclei of all kinds of atoms is of funda- mental importance in science’s continuing quest to learn more about the innermost secrets of atoms — secrets whose solution might aid in the further develop- ment of atomic energy. Dr. Fermi, one of the world’s Pioneer atomic researchers, made the comments in an interview at the annual meeting of the Ameri- can Physical Society of which he is president-elect. He said he him- self is not working on mesonium, but he declared the subject is of Prime interest to all physicists as evidenced by the fact that a num- ber of technical papers on it were presented at the Harvard Univers- ity meeting by Dr. James Rain- water of Columbia University and others. . Fermi. said mesonium is pro- duced in the laboratory in ‘this way: Atomic “rays” issuing from a machine known as a cyclotron strike a target material. Various Particles are released from the atoms of the target material. Among them are particles known as “mesons”? which are believed to be a kind of “glue” that ordi- narily holds the various parts of the nucleus of am atom together. A released meson can then be absorbed by any material—such as PEARLMAN’S INCORPORATED “THE STORE OF QUALITY” Key. Yest’s Largest Ladies’, Misses’ and Children’s Store lead, iron or carbon — which is placed nearby. Such a material is thereby converted into an entirely different element—mesonium—but it remains in that state for less than a millionth of » second, some- times for as little as one hundred millionth of a second. Meanwhile, however, sensitive instruments can pick up X-rays given off by the short-lived mater- jal. Study of these rays allows measurement of the atomic nu- cleus. of the material which had temporarily absorbed the meson. Fermi said the availability of mesonium as a laboratory tool might also aid towards better | understanding of mesons—and also | of cosmic rays which enter the earth’s atmosphere from outer space: These rays cause the nat- ural production of mesons when they strike atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere. Former New York Stage Star Dies LOS ANGELES —Mary Man- nering Wadsworth, 76, star of the London and New York stage a half century ago, died Wednesday. She made her debut on the Eng- lish stage under her real name, Florence Friend, in 1892, but as- sumed the stage name of Mary Mannering for her Broadway debut in “The Courtship of Leonie.” Her final Broadway appearance was in 1910. She was married to James K. Hackett, whom she divorced, and to the late Frederick Wadsworth. Typhus fever is most frequent- ly found in temperate or cold climates.
