Doubled Budget For Saturn Work Asked by Director Washington - (DM - Space Director Roy W. Johnson re vealed Saturday he has recom mended a doubled budget - $140,000,000 - for the Sa- j turn super - rocket project which is being . transferred from the Army to the Nation al Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration (NASA). He said the budget, for the next fiscal year, would be submitted to Congress in Jan uary if approved by President Eisenhower. The Saturn is one of the most ambitious projects in the high-thrust rocket field. Johnson told United Press International his request would show up in the Defense department budget because transfer of the Army's civilian space team to NASA cannot be completed until at least 60 days after Congress recon venes Jan. 7. The government reorganization law gives Con gress that much time to can cel the shift.. Senate and House commit tees already have indicated they will give it close study. Johnson said the Saturn is by - far the most important work launched during his18 months term as head of the Defense department's Ad vanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). He is retir ing next month.: - . -The rocket, a cluster of eight liquid-fueled engines, is to have 1,200,000 pounds of thrust, twice the power of the largest booster so far used by the Russians in satellite and space probe firings. London (CPD - Edward R., Murrow said Saturday that CBS president Frank Stanton, in criticizing the "Person-to-Person" show, had "revealed publicly his ignorance both of news and the requirements of television production." The TV commentator was commenting on a statement by Stanton, who , said the pro gram, formerly presided over by Murrow, had tried to cre ate the illusion that it was spontaneous. Stanton said the guests knew in advance what questions Murrow would ask them. In a statement issued here, Murrow said that "My con science is clear." "Surely Stanton must know that cameras, lights and mi crophones don't just wander around a home," said Mur row, now on a year's leave of absence from CBS. Alternative: 'Chaos' "The producers must know who is going where and when and for how long," Murrow added in a prepared' state ment. "They must know whether the individual will require 20 seconds or two minutes to answer a question. The alternative to a degree of rehearsal would be chaos." Grand Jury to Hear Case of Electrician Portland - (CPD - Raymond William Haupt, 41, Portland electrician, Friday waived preliminary hearing to an ex torition charge in municipal court. He was arrested Thursday night and confessed to a $10, 000 demand from Meier and Frank company here a threat to blow the store up if he didn't get the payoff. Haupt declared he didn't want an attorney. "I want to get what's coming to me and go to prison. I want to get it over with." His case will go directly to the grand jury. He is being held in lieu of $50,000 bond- Murrow said that Stanton "has discovered suddenly that not all diplomats at the United Nations will answer all of Larry Lesueur"s (a CBS news commentator) questions. "He suggests that Person-to-Person, a program with which I was associated for six years, was not what it purported to be," Murrow added. Conscience Clear "I am sorry that Dr. Stan ton feels that I have partici pated in perpetrating a fraud upon the public. My con science is clear. His seems to be bothering him." Stanton had made his state ment earlier last week amid a drive in the television in dustry to eliminate audio or visual misrepresentation. A CBS spokesman, com menting on Saturday's state ment by Murrow said: "As Dr. Stanton has at tempted to make quite clear on several occasions, none of us at CBS has the slightest objection to the way 'Person to Person' has been produced. Indeed, we have always been very proud of the program , and those -lo have partici pated in it. We have simply insisted that the production practices of programs of this type be revealed - as they were by Charles Collingwood ou last :ughi' N'artmiy so that the program as it ap pears on the air will be ex actly what it seems to Ije." 20 DISCOUNT On All Imprinted Christmas Cards On Orders Placed by Dec. 1st 30 ALBUMS TO CHOOSE FROM Exclusive Patterns in 100 Cards or Over "rail -office ir Medford, Oregon 115 W.
