PRESS IN UPROAR She originally described the nude scene in an interview with Associated Press reporter James Bacon in Hollywood. She said the scene was taken for "The Courte san of Babylon," in which she stars. Her remarks brought an out cry of "Absolutely false" from Bragaglla and made headlines in the Italian press.

She said that the "cameras were way back on the shore" and it was "all very proper." There was a banquet scene of an orgy in the film which Miss Fleming said was played just that way as an orgy.

WASHINGTON Wl Senators yrd (D-Va) and Symington (D- Mo) said Tuesday a $31,882,000,000 defense money bill will help keep America ahead of Russia in long range aerial striking power. The Senate passed the bill 80-0 Monday and sent it back to the House, where a somewhat differ ent version was approved some time ago. 40-39 VOTE One of the major differences was a Senate amendment de signed to block a proposed 22,-000-man reduction in the Marine Corps. This amendment was adopted 40-39. It was President Eisenhower's first reversal on a major military recommendation since he entered the White House. The bill would provide funds to arm and support a military force scheduled to be trimmed from 2,961,300 men as of June 30 to 2,881,000 a year later. It carries 356 million dollars more than the House voted to step up production of long-range bombers. Left intact were House-approved provisions to reduce the Army by 87,000 men to a new level of 1,027,000, to cut the Navy by 8,000 men to 664,000 and to in- crcas the Air Force from 970,000 to J75,30 men. 1 The Marine Corps would he kept at 215,000 men instead of being- reduced to 193,000 as planned by the administration and approved by the House. For-this purpose, the Senate adopted an amendment by Symington to give the Marines another 46 million dollars. AERIAL BUILDINGS Symington and other advocates of a strengthened Air Force emerged with a substantial vic tory, although it did not come about in the form of actual legis lation. Symington said an Air Force letter put into the record by Sen. Chavez (D-NM) and recommend ing "quantity production" of F101 and F104 supersonic jet fighters fulfilled his demand for a speed up in that field. Chavez told his colleagues more than three bil lion dollars already was avail able for this purpose.
