ter wrangle between California

ing activities arose Friday as

threatened to take on Sen. War
ren Magnuson (D-Wash) in a

senator wants a . Forrestal-type
supercarrier built at the Bremer
ton, Wash., Navy Yard or'not
at all.
"If he wants to play the game,
we can do it too," Mailliard said.
If our drydock goes out in the
Senate bill, I can promise that
their drydock will go out when
the Senate and House confer on
a compromise bill."
He added that TWhile we re
fighting each other, the East gets
what it wants because its con
gressional representatives work
together."

quickly: "We came here to see
Faust not to drag up Stalin's
memory."
