Stressing the need for speed Dulles said disarmament ' talks can't drag on year after year without getting some place. If there is progress on dis armament, he said, it should be possible to make progress on other East-West political issues Dulles told his news confer ence progress is essential, and is needed rapidly, to keep the disarmament talks with- Russia alive. But Dulles said a first step disarmament agreement is riot possible in anything short of several months. Says Speed Essential Also, he said, Big Four talks with the Soviet Union on Ger man reunification are not just around the corner. Such talks, he said, should come only after progress has been made on a start toward disarmament. The secretary of state refused to be drawn into arguments over details of disarmament. Speaking very soberly, he told newsmen that the important thing is to get going somewhere, somehow, as rapidly as possible. Unless this is done, he added, it will be very difficult to check the -armament race. Whether a first stage disarm ament plan would include Eu rope, he said, depends entirely on the European themselves. It is up to Germany, for ex ample, he said, whether it would participate in a first step plan The whole question has been un der review with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer who leaves Washington today. Dulles emphasized that reuni fication of Germany should pre cede a final disarmament agree ment. Stassen Confers on Disarmament Plans Paris (in Harold E. Stas- sen conferred today with the United States's NATO allies to seek approval of the 154iation body on new American disarm ament proposals.

Moss (D-Calif.), chairman cf a House Information Subcommittee, asked Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. by what right the Border Patrol claimed secrecy in its explana tion. Fund Use Questioned Campbell said his investigators "questioned as not being in ac cordance with applicable laws" the Border Patrol's use of public funds to send its officers to the competitive shooting matches.

He later ac knowledged he went across the border into Mexico all five times to hunt. 52nd Year Mf Tvn United Press 18 Pages Morse and Capehart Exchange Verbal Slaps in Near-Empty Senate Chamber Washington (IPI The Senate was almost empty late Tuesday night when Sens. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.) and Homer E. Capehart (R-Ind.) started throw ing the verbal ripe tomatoes at each other. About 20 spectators lounged in the visiting galleries. A few senators sat at their desks in various degrees of attention. Morse Berated Capehart rose quietly and began to berate Morse for his reported statement that Presi dent Eisenhower and Teamster President Dave Beck were "the same kind of immoralists." Morse denied Sunday that he said exactly that. But he said he Two Men Inj In Blast Tuesday Near PTT Building A Pacific Telephone and Tele graph company employee was hospitalized and a bystander suffered burns yesterday about 2:30 p.m. from an explosion in the alley in the rear of the PTT building on North Bartlett st. Cause of . the blast is un known, officials said. Another company employee was treated for burns at the scene of the explosion. In Good Condition Robert L. Glathar, 35, of 61 Vashti Way, a telephone com pany cable splicer, was report ed in good condition at Rogue Valley hospital this morning. He was treated . for- face and hand burns. Donald R. Zimmers, 524 Fairmount ave., an onlook er, received less serious burns when gas in an alley manhole exploded, according to Jack Creager, PTT manager. Victor S. Kasser, 17 North Modoc ave., another cable splicer; was working with Gla thar, over the manhole to re move remaining gas after repair of ' a gas line across the alley, Creager said. The explosion took place while Glathar was attempting to push a fresh air blower duct deeper into the hole. Near Scene Zimmers was standing near the scene waiting to remove a First Baptist church bus parked in the alley. He was treated at Rogue Valley hospital and re leased. California - Pacific Utilities company equipment indicated there was not enough gas re maining in the underground ducts for an explosion, accord ing to Creager. Creager said gas and tele phone company personnel had known of the gas leak in the area for several days, but had not found the spot until yester day. He surmised that an accu mulation of gas between two manholes in the cable ducts ac counted for the mishap. Damage Limited Damage was limited to the blower tube and ladder. Flames in the manhole were extin guished by the city fire depart ment. Creager. said Glathar was saved possible eye injuries be cause he was wearing safety glasses which are required for all PTT employees.

Didn't Like Denial Capehart made clear that he didn't like Morse's denial state ment any more than the original one Morse said he didn't make. Warming to his topic, he noted that Morse used to be a Repub lican but had changed his party. And any man who did that, he raged, is "intellectually dishon est and immoral." "I hope you will keep on ac cusing me," Morse shouted back across the empty desks. "There 'While You're Talking, I'll Bring Sorr More Chairs."

WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1957 is nothing I care less about than the views of the senator from In diana." Moreover, he said, the portly senator from Indiana could "best be described as a tub of rancid ignorance." "I think that shows there is very little respect between us," hi. added. Charges Shouted Capehart jumped to his feet and began shouting "intellectu ally dishonest and immoral" at Morse. Morse roared back that he "didn't care much" for Cape hart's opinion. Sen. Hubert H.

This was an amount, a fraction of the total cut, which was agreed on by the President' and GOP leaders as having the best prospect of winning approval. Then, in a final rejection of the President's plea, members on a roll call vote of 242 to 151 turn ed down a last ditch proposal warping the defeated amend ments into a single 'package. - With that done, the House passed and sent to the Senate a bill carrying $33,562,725,000 in new funds to help finance the Army, Navy, and Air Force in the 12 months starting July 1.
