Senate in vestigators, spurred by Russia's Sputnik, began asking the Pen tagon for missile data today in what could become the most important investigation of the coming session of Congress. Informed sources said De fense Department agencies were getting requests from the Sen ate Preparedness subcommittee for the latest information on United States missile programs. The requests carry a priority label, they said. The same government sources said the Central Intelligence agency will be asked for its best appraisal of the Soviet's missile program which zoomed Russia's earth-circling satellite into its orbit last week end. 'Complete' Inquiries Asked The subcommittee's quiet call for information came as one of its members said the full Sen ate Armed Services committee should hold ' complete" hearings on the question. Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo). recalled that the full committee conducted the widely publicized investiga tion of former President Tru man's dismissal of Gen. Doug las MacArthur. Symington, a long-time critic of the administration's handling of missile programs, wired his views to Chairman Richard B. Russel (D-Ga.), of the Armed Services committee.

Neuberger (D-Ore.) speakirtg be fore a dinner meeting of Lane county Democrats Tuesday night, said three factors are "restrain ing" Oregon's economic prog ress. The factors, he said, 'which are as devastating to Oregon's prosperity as the scourge wrought by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse," are: 1. High interest tight money policies which curtailed new home construction and reduced output in Oregon's lumber indus try. 2. Choking off of new supplies of low-cost power needed to at tract new industry and new pay rolls. 3. Steadily advancing railroad freight rates which place a com petitive burden on Oregon pro ducers and throttle ability to sell Oregon goods and produce in major Eastern markets. The senator said that Oregon's business life is closely geared to prosperity in the lumber indus try. He also told the group that Orion -:' iis "vele-it per iod of industrial growth during .en the first low cost Bonneville power came on the lines." "Low-cost power is the key to payrolls,' he said.
