s-und Request Sail
(Pared 40 Per Cent
Washington (IT) Senate
Democratic leader Lyndon B.
Johnson reported today that
Air Force requests for missile
funds for the current fiscal
year were cut by about 40 per
cent.
Johnson, presiding at hear
ings of the Senate Prepared
ness subcommittee, expressed
dismay over the reduction.
The cuts, made by the admin
istration itself, applied to the
Air Force budget for the cur
rent fiscal year that started
last July 1.
Johnson disclosed the cuts
at a public hearing of his sub
committee. Some Money Restored
Sen. Stuart Symington, (D.
Mo.) asked Johnson how
much of the deleted Air Force
funds would be restored by
the $1,300,000,000 supplemen-1
tal budget request which
President Eisenhower sent to
Congress this week.
Johnson replied that It
would be a small amount,
perhaps 5 to 10 per cent.
Johnson also said Air Force
requests for funds for bomb
ers, tankers and supporting
units were substantially re
duced. He did not indicate
whether the trimming was
done by the Defense depart
ment or by the Budget bu
reau. Urges Reorganization
Johnson's statement came
as the subcommittee ques
tioned Nelson A. Rockefeller
about the somber report is
sued on the nation's defense
recently by the Rockefeller
Brothers fund which he
heads.
The report called for an ex
tra $3 billion a year in de
fense spending and reorgani
zation of the Defense depart
ment top military command.
Rockefeller repeated the
report's warning that the
U.S. is "rapidly losing" its
military advantage over Rus
sia. But he said it is "empha
tically not too late" to regain
it.
He also testified that the
nation has "no single, overall
plan of defense." He said the
armed services are operating
under three separate strate
gic concepts.
He strongly defended the
Rockefeller report's recom
mendation that the chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
be made the principal adviser
to the secretary of defense.
Inier-iervice Competition
Johnson asked Rockefeller
if his group had been able to
find out why "so little atten
tion" was paid to -Air Force
requests for missiles that the
money pleas were cut by 42
per cent.
Rockefeller said he believes
the military budget shows
the "anachronisms" of the
present defense set-up in
which three services try to
develop weapons that may
conflict with one another. He
blamed the "system" and said
he does nqt believe the De
fense Department was "de
linquent."
"I haven't charged any
body with being delinquent
yet," Johnson replied.
Johnson asked Rockefeller
whether his panel had access
to the so-called Gaither re
port on the nation's defenses,
another dim view of the na
tion's future defense posture.
The report is being kept sec
ret by the White House al
though it has been widely de
scribed in the press.
Rockefeller said his group
did not have the report but
was briefed on its contents.
He said that, as a "staff of
ficer" for the President he
did not think he should dis
cuss the findings.
Johnson said his commit

tee still thinks it should have

"t w o additional conversa
tions" recently with repre-
sentatives of the President
and believes a decision may

week.
Chiefs of Staff Change
Rockefeller said his group's
recommendation that the
Joint Chiefs of Staff system
in the Pentagon be overhaul
ed and that the chairman of
the joint chiefs be made prin
cipal adviser to the secretary
of defense deserves urgent
consideration.
The proposal. has been at
tacked as a step toward
"Prussian general staff" and
a threat to civilian control
over the military establish
ment.
But Rockefeller said such
"catch words" should not be
allowed to becloud the need
for a change. There is "a tre
mpndous ureencv to do it
ndw," he told the senators.

Senior Military
Staff Possible
Washington (IP) Presi
dent Eisenhower wants to ex
pand the powers of his de
fense secretary and possibly
give him a senior military
staff to help push spaceage
weapons development and end
inter-service disputes, it was
reported today. . i
An administration source
said Eisenhower was person
ally directing studies for
overhauling defense policies
and organization.
Never-Ending Problem
The President in his State
of the Union message said he
had underway a "s p e c i a 1
study" of what he called the
never-ending problem of im
proving military unification.
If the President decides to
seek a military staff for De
fense Secretary Neil H. Mc
Elroy and to enlarge the al
ready immense powers of the
Pentagon chief, he will have
to seek legislation. A military
advisory staff is barred by law
now. The secretary has to rely
for help upon the staffs of the
military departments and the
joint chiefs of staff.
The President's announce
ment of impending defense re
organization caught the Pen
tagon by surprise. There was
no comment from McElroy.
Eisenhower's speech quickly
became a "best seller" in and
out of the joint chiefs organ
ization.
Many Curious
One top-level defense offi
cial told a reporter "you are
not the only one" curious
ab.out the President's plans.
He said there were thousands
in the Pentagon.
There has been a lack of
enthusiasm for reorganization
among military men, who
think that increased money
and decreased redtape are
more likely answers to the
problem of speeding weapons
output in the face of Russian
challenges.

Pressure West for
Summit Conference

today rejected Soviet Premier Nicolai Bulganin's call for an
East-West summit conference within two or three months.
Paris (IP)
A" new bar-
rage of notes by Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin put
pressure on the West today to
hold a "summit" meeting
much sooner than it had
planned.
The permanent council of
NATO ministers from each
of the 15 members already
had called a meeting for to
day to try to answer Bul
ganin's series of notes sent
last December.
Now they were faced not
only with the necessity ..of
reaching quick agreement on

notes sent Thursday by Bul
ganin to 19 nations including
all members of NATO.
Sent To Warsaw Members
Thursday's barrage also
was sent to members of the
Communist "W a r s a w" al
liance," the anti-NATO group
of satellite nations, calling for
a summit conference, a non
aggression pact and an im
mediate cessation of nuclear
tests.
Bulganin's earlier offers,
made on the eve of the NATO
conference here Dec. 16-19
attended by President Eisen
hower, indicated a desire for
more restricted talks, per
haps with the United States
alone.
The West has been cool to
such a proposal. It was re

U.S. National Bids
Low for Bonds
The United States National
bank of Portland was low
bidder on $600,000 worth of
bonds to finance construction
in the Medford school district.
Bids were opened at a special
meeting yesterday.
U. S. National's bid was for
a .3280 per cent interest rate.
The only other bidder was
the First National bank of
Portland for .3331 per cent.
The money will be used to
build two iew elementary
school units, and an addition

tion on the elementary schools
is expected to get started
about March 1, school board
members said.
More than $13,4 million in

Strong Winds Contribute
To Rash of Flue Blazes
Strong winds, which at
tained a steady intensity of
44 miles per hour with gusts
up to 53 mph, were thought to
have contributed to a rash of
flue fires in the area yester
day. They also intensified
flames of a house fire north
of Central Point.
Medford firemen were
called out on seven flue fires.
Three chimney blazes were re
ported in the Central Point
rural fire protection district
and two each in Ashland and
Central Point.
Fire, which appeared to
have started in the attic, dam

Rural firemen were sum

Fourth Test of
Veapon Said To
Lack Full Range
Firing Strictly
Military Show
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (01
A slender Navajo pilot
less bomber was fired from
the Missile Test Center
here about 11:35 a.m. (PST)
today and roared out over
the Atlantic.
Cape Canaveral, Fla.-
The Air Force fired its thun
derous Atlas intercontinental
missile today and announced
the flight was successful.
The great, silver missile
was triggered from the test
range here at 7:48 a.m. (PST).
The missile, biggest and
mightiest in the nation't
growing ballistic weapon arse
nal, rose slowly from its pad,
enveloped at first by a cloud
of smoke and flame.
But after riding clear of
the initial blast, the towering
missile, which was coated
with ice due to the liquid,
oxygen in its fuel tanks, sped
straight up, then arched ma
jestically downrange over th
Atlantic test range.
The Air Force later an
nounced in Washington that
the test "which was not full-,
range, was successful." A
Pentagon spokesman would
not elaborate on the state
ment, but it indicated that
the full power needed to hurl
the 100-ton missile 5,500 miles
was not used. -
The only previous success
ful flight, on Dec. 17, also,
was of limited range, unoffi
cially estimated as 600 miles.
Military Show
The Atlas firing, strictly.,
a military show at this stage,
was the fourth test of the
Air Force's entry in the
ocean-spanning weapon cate
gory. There has been specula
tion that the U.S. could use
the Atlas, with some major
modifications, to launch an
earth satellite, but so far the
Navy's Vanguard still has the
moon launching assignment
here.
Cape talk is that a Van
guard is about ready for an
other satellite launching at
tempt, possibly as early as
next week.
The brief Defense Depart
ment announcement said only
that the Atlas was fired and
that "the launching was suc
cessfully carried out . . ."
Tremendous Roar
The missile was visible for
about three minutes to observ
ers watching from beaches
about five miles from the test
center. The gleaming Atlas
disappeared with a tremen
dous roar into a layer of
fluffy white clouds high in
the sky, trailing a jet of red
flame.
It was believed the missile
was only geared to fly about
500 or 600 miles.
