Senate Probers Asking
Data; Investigation Expected
Washington 1? 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. Russell dis
closed Monday the staff of the
Preparedness Subcommittee was
launching a study.
Russell, advising Symington
the Preparedness Subcommittee
staff would assemble "all avail
able facts," said the study should

help determine "the wisest
course to pursue."
Russell's statement made it
clear the future course of the
committee's missile investiga
tion will depend on the study.
Symington's statement plus
the concern voiced by other
committee members made it
equally clear only a full-scale
investigation will satisfy some
congressional leaders.

Three Factors Said
Restraining Oregon
Eugene (IP) - Sen. Richard L.
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.
