Vital Step in
Reorgai
mizalion
Plan Held Up
Washington W The
Defense Department is hold
ing up one of the vital steps
in Preiid ent Eisenhawer's
"urgent" Pentagon reorgani
zation plan although the
"White House has said it could
be carried out without legis
lation. A spokesman Indicated
Wednesday the key provision
for streamlining the military
command setup may not be
carried out until a reorganiza
tion bill is passed.
, The provision calls for eli
minating the Army, Navy and
Air Force departments from
the chain of command. Com
mand would then run directly
from the defense secretary
through the Joint Chiefs of
Staff to unified field forces.
One of Eijjht Slept
White House Press Secre
tary James C Hagerty identi
fied the streamlined command
plan April 5 as one of eight
steps in the reorganization
proposal which could be
undertaken right away with
out legislation. He said that
part of Eisenhower's April 3
reorganization message to
Congress already was an order
to Defense Secretary Neil H.
McElroy.
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
Army chief of staff, told the
House Armed Services Com
mittee Tuesday he had "re
ceived no such directive" and
"the old system is in effect."
The Pentagon said today
McElroy had requested Gen
eral Nathan r. Twining, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, to work out plans for
the command streamlining.

Jupiter Missile
Launching Soon
Cape Canaveral, Fla. 'OP)
The Army is expected soon to
launch its first intermediate
range Jupiter missile in more
than five months in a nose
cone re-entry test.
The tall, thick Jupiter was
erect Wednesday in one of
the Army's two service towers
at the missile test center. It
will probably undergo check
outs for a week or two before
it is launched.
It was learned unoffically
an attempt will be made to
recover the nose cone of the
1,500-mile range missile from
the Atlantic Ocean. Purpose
of the test probably will be
to study the effect re-entering
the atmosphere will have on
the nose cone.

UAW Bargaining
Position Reversed
Detroit (IP) The United
Auto Workers Union, its bar
gaining position suddenly re
versed, Wednesday fought to
keep its members on the job
after next month's contract
deadline.
The union charged it faces
an auto industry "alliance."
Chrysler Tuesday joined
General Motors and Ford in
rejecting the union offer to ex
tend contracts until Septem
ber. General Motors Tuesday de
livered an unprecedented no
tice that it will terminate its
contract on the May 29 ex
piration date.
"We hadn't planned to give
General Motors a notice of
termination," UAW Vice Pres
ident Leonard Woodcock told
newsmen.
This confirmed that the
UAW planned to extend GM's
contract on a day-by-day basis
past the deadline, while apply
ing pressure cn union de
mands at Ford and Chrysler,
already under June 1 termi
nation notice. t
Since World War II, the
union in each bargaining ses
sion has decided which com
pany would get a contract ex
tension and which company
it might strike.
In nearly every case, the
union used this tactic and a
booming economy to make
one of the companies give in
for fear of losing its market
to the others.

Urges Education
Challenge for All
Denver OP) The em
phasis on education in Ameri
ca must be extended to in
clude a challenge for all levels
of intelligence and for the
man who. finishes his formal
training in high school as well
as for the college man, the
governor of Oregon said here.
Gov. Robert D.. Holmes
warned that the kind of peo
ple our schools are producing
are not equipped for, and not
ready to deal with, the chal
lenge of the new era in which
they Will live. y - -
Holmes, in an address to
the legislative workshop on
financing higher education,
said, the United States ..must
adopt and educational system
that will stress value and in
tellectual pursuit for its own
sake.
Great Slatura
"In this total world," he
said, "intellectual and spirit
ual values have great stature
and they are not satisfied by
and educational system that
merely stresses how to do
things, or how to get things."
He warned that Russia's
educational system is far
ahead of that of the United
States.
"We have assumed that in
terest in acquiring knowledge
and pleasure in thinking are
satisfactions of an elite few,"
he said. "We have assumed
that the slow reader and the
slow thinker had best be kept
away from books and be given
something to do that doesn't
require much meditation."
He interjected, however,
that the slow was well as the
quick will participate in mak
ing decisions affecting the
public interest.
