Nixon CaBIs For Full Airing
Of Gnferservice Rivalries
Washington n? Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon called
today for a full airing of inter
service rivalries and their possi
ble effects on national defense.
If competition between the
services has impaired the na
tional defense, Nixon said, news
men should air the matter be
cause "the public is entitled to
know."
"There can be no sacred cows
as far as national defense of the
United States is concerned," he
told newsmen gathered for a
missile background session.
The vice. president, speaking
extemporaneously, also made
these points:
'Spend All Wsj Need'
The United States "can
spend all we need to spend for
national defense," but he cau
tioned that "if we simply give a
blank' check for national de
fense wer'e going to end up
with rubber checks."
o This country's missile in
dustry is trying to do "in three
years what their counterparts
in the Soviet Union have been
'lining perhaps for six to 10
ears."
The relative military
(ftrength of Russia and the Unit
States, in the light of Soviet
satellite achievements should be

assessed ' with a good dose of
realism."
Nixon said three main conclu
sions can be drawn from the
Soviet Sputnik: (1) the Russians
have developed a rocket with a
thrust big enough to launch an
intercontinental ballistic mis
sile: (2) they can build a tricky
guidance system for a satellite,
and (3) they have solved the
problem of reentering the at
mosphere at tremendous speeds.
Nixon said the guidance sys
tem of an earth satellite, how
ever, is only about one-tenth as
accurate as that used on a mili
tary missile, and this fact
should be "drummed into the
consciousness of informed Amer
icans." Air Force Not Doomed
He said the sputniks them
selves do not indicate that Rus
sia has licked the re-entry prob
lem, but from other evidence
"we certainly cannot assume
that problem remains unsolved."
He said that those who have
spoken about "phasing out" the
Air Force, in view of the de
velopment of big missiles, were
talking "without the awareness
of the facts." Nixon said the
public should be told that the
development of a missile does
not mean it can replace other
forms of weapons.
"You can get some pretty
good arguments from some of
-our Air Force people that there
never will be a time when the
manned bomber will not be an
effective instrument," he said.

effort than ... to fail to main
tain the major striking power
of the United States, which is
our Strategic Air Force."
Nixon noted a tendency in
the United States to "cry about
what's happened in the past," in
missile development. He said
this "isn't regrettable, unless we
spend an inordinate amount of
time wailing about what hap
pened," and forget about the
future.
Jury Misconduct
Told in Beck Case
Seattle, Wash. (W Dave
Beck's defense attorney confirm
ed today that "misconduct of
jurors" was one of the grounds
on which he based a motion for a
new trial for the Teamster boss
convicted Saturday of grand lar
ceny. Beck, 63, was accused of em
bezzling Sl,900 of Teamster
funds obtained from the sale of
a union-owned Cadillac.
His attorney, Charles S. Bur
dell, said the motion did not re
fer to or imply intentional mis
behavior on the part of any of
the jury.
j 'It simply means that I will
contend me state statute relat
ing to the separation of jurors
during the trial was no strict
ly adhered to," he explained.
The jury of seven men and five
housewives had been kept to
gether during the entire two
weeks of the trial.
Shortly after the jury handed
down its veridct at 12:02 p.m.
Saturday, Burdell filed a motion
for a new trial. If the motion is
denied, he said, he wil appeal the
case to the state supreme court.
He asked that arguments on the
motion be heard as soon as pos
sible. Judge George H. Revele said
said the case was "continued for
sentencing, subject to call." The
maximum penalty for grand lar
ceny is 15 years imprisonment.
Girard, Bride Due
To Dock at SF Today
San Francisco (IP) A mili
tary transport docks today at
Fort Mason, bringing with it the
young man whose trial for kill
ling a Japanese woman caused
international repercus
sions early this year.
He is Pvt. formerly S3C
William S. Girard, 22. He and
his Japanese bride Haru (Candy)
Sueyama, 20, are en route to
Fort Sheridan, 111., where the
Army will discharge him.
A Japanese court gave Girard
a three-year suspended sentence
last month for killing Mrs. Naka
Sakai, 46, on Jan. 30.
Blasted by Dynamite
Portland (IP) Multnomah
county sheriff's office said to
day a blast which shook the
southwestern part of the county
Saturday night apparently was
caused by an explosion of dyn
amite sticks against a sign post.
The sign post was splintered
by "two or three" dynamite
sticks, and grass and earth in
the immediate area was scorched.

lege teachers a major objective

the state system of higher edu
cation to any specific action.
Professor Wesley C. Ballaine,

Half Called On
Some Vel Benefits
Washington (IP) The ad
ministration has decided to put
the brakes on spending for non-service-connected
benefits . for
veterans.
Government and congression
al sources said Saturday Presi
dent Eisenhower will outline the
controversial economy move in
a special message to congress
early in the new year.
The move is aimed mainly at
pensions, payments to needy vet
erans disabled not in service
but in civilian life. Compensa
tion, as payments for service-incurred
disability are known, is
expected to be affected little if
at all.
According to present plans the
president will propose merger
of veterans pensions with social
security. Along with other revis
ions of the pension program, this
would mean similar government
payments to many ex-servicemen.

Is That So?
The next best thing to an out
door fire is a fire in the hearth
and there are about as many
theories of laying the fire as
there are men sitting in front of
it. But there are some things
which can be accepted as fact.
As for the best woods to burn
in your fireplace, hardwoods
make slow-burning fuel with
lasting coals; softwoods make a
quick hot fire, soon spent.
About the best in the hard
woods is hickory if you can come
by it. Besides, like applewood, it
has a pleasant aroma. Live oak
is an excellent slow-burning
fuel. Maples, too, make a long,
hot fire, burning down to hot
coals. Of the maples, sugar is a
favorite because it ignites easily.
Among the softwoods, second
growth fir will hold a fire for
some time. Seasoned chestnut
and yellow poplar make a good
fire but they crackle and leave
no coals.
As for kindling, resiny pine is
wonderful and to hold a fire,
use pine knots. About the best
you can find in the woods, al
ways dry, is the wood from a
stump of pine, spruce, fir or
balsam. Particularly if it has a
resinous core. A tree that has
been killed by lightning or a
windfall will make good kin
dling. Best, if the tree has been
broken off without its roots.
Dead branches broken from the
tree always make better kindling
than twigs found lying on the
ground. And bark from all trees

milk cartons which are heavily

burn intensely with a hot lasting

Soaked Newspapers
For a cheap clean fuel, which
makes a hot smokeless fire, soak
your newspaper in a tub. Then
wad up the papers into balls the
size of an indoor baseball that
is, about four to five inches in
diameter. Squeeze out as much
water as possible. Line up the
balls on ledges or boards to dry
out. This wartime fuel is useful
as kindling or for emergencies
when dry wood is hard to come
by.
Now about laying that fire,
one which will not require con
stant fussing. Remember two
logs are better than one; three
best of all. More than that is just
being extravagant and for me,
I like a cozy fire which burns
down tp a good bed of coals. The
two bottom logs should be split
or have flat sides so they won't
roll. Place them on your and
irons or in your fire basket a
few inches apart, with the back
one an inch or two from the
back of the fireplace.
Take paper and crumple it
between the log rests. Or lay
your two logs ovar the paper or
ashes and put kindling across
them, leaving plenty of air
space, with a few pieces of kin
dling laid downward into the
paper or ashes and between the
logs. Then place the third log
on top.
To help matters along, you
can start a fire with a brick that
has been soaked in kerosene.
But keep that pail of kerosene
tightly covered, somewhat out
of children's reach outside. Soak
common building bricks in this.
When you want to kindle the
fire, lay the kerosene-impregnated
brick in the grate, pile
fuel on it, and light a match. The
brick will burn for 50 minutes or
so and save kindling wood.
