Flemming Refuses
Stockpile Comment
Arthur S. Flemming said in
New York Wednesday he had
no comment at this time on a
charge that he had, while a gov
ernment official, violated the
stockpile law.
Flemming, president of the
University of Oregon, was reach
ed by telephone in New York,
where he is attending a meet
ing of the National Center for
Education in Politics.
The charge that Flemming
had violated the law by raising
stockpile goals for zinc and lead
in 1956 was made Wednesday
by Sen. Stuart Symington, D
Mo., who heads the special Sen
ate Armed Services Subcommit
tee investigating defense stock
piles. Flemming was director
of defense Mobilization in the
Eisenhower administration, dur
ing the period being considered
by the Senate subcommittee.
Symington based his state
ment on testimony by William
N. Lawrence, deputy director in

Diversion of French Efforts Under Study
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Of th Associated Press
WASHINGTON U.S. offi
cials are beginning to face up
to the hard reality that France
is determined to build its own
nuclear weapons force wheth
er they like it or not.
They are, therefore, becom
ing increasingly concerned
with ways of eventually divert
ing the French effort into a
new NATO nuclear weapons
partnership for which the
United States itself would
have to make some conces
sions. The problem of breaking
the nuclear weapons deadlock
within the North Atlantic
Treaty alliance has dominated
the consultations held by
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
with President Charles de
Gaulle and other French lead
ers in Paris. If De Gaulle and
President Kennedy meet later
this year, as Paris reports
suggest is possible, it will un
doubtedly be to try to find a
solution to this problem.
Indications of the new U.S.
approach were disclosed in a
speech on nuclear weapons
strategy that Secretary of De
fense Robert S. McNamara
made last Saturday at the Uni
versity of Michigan. McNam
ara declared it is an urgent
need, possibly involving the
survival of Western civiliza
tion, that NATO countries
agree on the coordination of
targeting plans the selection
of targets against which a nu
clear attack would be directed
in event of all-out war and
the circumstances under which
nuclear weapons would be cm
ployed. McNamara's speech was
sharply critical of the French
plan to create a national nu
clear force, though he did not
mention France by name. This
led in Europe to considerable
counter criticism to the effect
that the United States is try
ing to dictate to its Allies.
For Union Job in Florida
Former Official Tells of Payoff
WASHINGTON Wl Clayton
"Smiley" Hart, former official
of the American Guild of Va
riety Artists (AGVA), swore
Thursday he paid Jackie Bright,
the union's operating chief, $2,
000 in 1958 for a transfer to a
job in Sarasota, Fla.
Such a payoff would have
violated both union fulcs and
federal law.
Hart's wife, Sonya, testified
she "got her Irish up" recently,
demanded the money back from
Bright, and finally did get some
of it at a time when she and
her husband said Bright was
pressing Hart to deny the whole
story.
Their testimony was to the
Senate Investigations subcom
mittee which is looking into al
legations that AGVA, an enter
tainers union affiliated with the
AFL-CIO, has failed to enforce
contract protections for its mem
bers working in honky tonk
night clubs. There has been
testimony too that some union
officials have connived in pros
titution rackets.
Called Union's Boss
Bright's title is administra
tive secretary of the union, and
witnesses have described him
as its boss.
There was testimony Wednes
day that Bright had accepted
gifts from a New York state
resort hotel employing union
members. Sen. John J. McClel
lan, D-Ark., the subcommittee
chairman, and Jerome Adler
man, its counsel, said this might
involve violations of federal
law.
The story related by officials
of the Concord Hotel at Kia-
mesha Lake, N.Y., was that
Bright and his family spent re
peated vacations there, accept
ing thousands of dollars worm
of free or bargain rate board
and room.
Bright listened to their testi-

mony but made no comment on
it.
Bright, Adams Present
Bright was again seated in
the hearing room as the Harts
testified. Also there was come
dian Joey Adams, the union's
president. Both are expected to
be called to the witness chair,
but subcommittee aides said
this may not be until Monday.
Neither Bright nor Adams of
fered any immediate comment
on the testimony.
Hart said he resigned in April
as AGVA's branch manager in
Sarasota, but received severance
pay indicating the union had
fired him.
Relating his story of how he
got his assignment here, Hart
said he was fed up with the
Washington climate after a tour
of duty with the union in this
area, and jokingly exclaimed in
Bright's presence in April 1958,
that "I'd give $2,000 to be in
Florida."
20 $100 Bills
An hour later, he said, Bright
telephoned him and said "if
you're serious about that $2,000
I can arrange it."
Hart said he agreed, got the
transfer three months later and
handed Bright 20 $100 bills not
long afterward. Ho said Bright
had dunned him for the money.
Mrs. Hart said she had drawn
$2,000 from their bank account,
and is "sure" that Bright got
it. The canceled check was
placed in evidence.
Hart testified he never en
forced the union contract pro
vision designed to protect enter
tainers against exploitation be

Measles Leads
List of Diseases
The list of communicable dis
eases reported to the Lane
County Health Dept. for the
week ending last Friday showed
56 cases of measles, 14 cases of
influenza, and one case of Ger
man measles.
The number of cases was
smaller than usual, attributable
to the fact that fewer than the
normal number of reports came
into the health office during
the week. Of 108 reporting
sources only 46 submitted reports.
McNamara argued that de
velopment of a national nu
clear force would encourage
the spread of nuclear weapons
among nations, would not
serve as a deterrent against
Soviet force and would create
the danger of one of the Al
lies acting on its own to start
a nuclear war.
As a means of dealing with
the problem, he called for
"unity of planning, concentra
tion of executive authority,
and central direction" in the
development of nuclear strat
egy and precise plans for the
use of nuclear weapons if the
need ever arises.
Hay Fever,
Itch Season
Are Here
Summer season of joy
tempered by sunburn, hay
fever and mosquito bites,
came today, officially.
The summer solstice was at
2:24 p.m. daylight Thursday.
This will be the longest day
of the year with 15 hours and
42 minutes of sunshine.
Some people doubted that
we would get summer this
year; it was a long, cool
spring. Warm weather pushed
through only recently. It is
expected to continue warm
and clear, with a high temper
ature of 85 degrees predicted
for Friday. No rain is in sight
for at least several days.
Thoso most keenly aware
of the turn of the season in
clude children, who can once
again drag the family to the
wading pools, and hay fever
sufferers, who were wrenched
from the peace of a cool May
by the itching eyes and drip
ping nose of a warm, pollen
filled mid-June.
One well-informed official,
privately discussing the U.S.
policy implications in the Mc
Namara speech, said Thursday
"we are not giving up on our
opposition to a French na
tional force but we are now
trying to think beyond that."
Other officials said that if
the European allies in consul
tation with the United States
through the NATO council at
Paris produce a workable
formula for a NATO partner
ship they will find the Ken
nedy administration complete
ly cooperative.
One possibility reported to
be under consideration is the
creation of some kind of NA
TO command for strategic nu
clear weapons. The initial
effort of such an organization
probably would be to inte
grate nuclear weapons strat
egies of the various allied
governments including the
United States.
One point McNamara em
phasized was that weapons
would not necessarily be used
against enemy cities but if
circumstances permitted
would be used instead against
enemy military targets, not
ably rocket installations and
nuclear arsenals from which
attacks on the West could be
made.
Wilson Kinsman
Lost on Climb
KATMANDU, Nepal UFi A
grandson of President Woodrow
Wilson and three other ama
teur mountaineers are missing
on an attempt to scale an un
conqucred Himalayan peak.
Prof. Woodrow Wilson Sayre,
43, two other Americans and a
Swiss left their camp in eastern
Nepal May 2 for the final climb
to the 25,910-foot summit of un
conquercd Mt. Gyachung Kang.
Nothing has been heard from
them since.
Sayre, an assistant professor
of philosophy at Tufts Univer
sity in Mcdford, Mass., teamed
for the expedition with Norman
Hansen, 36, a Boston lawyer
who had climbed Alaska's Mt.
McKinley with him in 1954;
Roger Alan Hart, 21, a Tufts
student, and Hans Peter Duttle,
a Swiss schoolteacher.
Before the four set out from
Katmandu in March, Sayre told
newsmen they planned a leis
urely ascent with no fixed route
or schedule.
Mountaineering experts in
Katmandu doubted, however,
I that even a leisurely climb
would completely black out
news of them for seven weeks.
Gyachung Kang lies about 14
miles northwest of 29,028-foot
Mt. Everest, the world's highest
mountain. Like Everest, Gya
chung Kang is bisected by the
Nepal-Tibet border, Nepal con
trolling the southern slope and
Red China the northern one.
Sayre is tho son of former
Ambassador Francis B. Sayre
and the late Jessie Wilson,
daughter of President Wilson.
The elder Sayro was U.S. high
commissioner to the Philippines
before World War II and was a
U.S. delegate to the United
Nations.
Prof. Sayre is married to the
former Edith Warren Chase.
They have two daughters, Mar
tha, 10, and Jennifer, 11, ana
live in Lexington, Mass.
