enator Kuchel s formates in Portland Salute ..to D Cig Event Saying Quotes Gates As Americans Have Prosperity Gates' Plane Has Trouble in East Portland - (LTD - Sen. Thom as Kuchel (R-Calif.) sacrificed some political points and a night's sleep to fly here on short notice to sub for Defense ."Secretary Thomas Gates at . one of the nationwide "Salute to Ike" dinners. Kuchel quoted from Gates' 'speech and had a few things to say himself. He was flying with President Eisenhower to Los Angeles when he got word that the Secretary's jet plane '. had been held up because of . mechanical difficulties in Bal- timore. The President asked Kuchel to fill in for Gates here in stead of introducing him at -the Los Angeles Ike dinner. The senator is up for reelec tion this year. He also had a speech set for Long Beach at ; 10:30 a.m. today which he , planned to make. Big Crowd Attends Gates' speech said the Eisen ' hower administration has giv ; en Americans the greatest prosperity in its history and military power "second to ; none." In complementing Gates' ' speech, Kuchel said "I regret with all my heart that some Democrats are crying, wailing I and raising cain over Amer .. ica's defense . . . some of them :r almost hoping they are speak - ing the truth." He had other comments about the "sound fiscal pol- . icy" of the GOP and hoped for GOP leadership in civil rights legislation this year. The Portland dinner drew " more than 800 guests and net U ted the party at least $72,000. Unander Honored Honored at the dinner was : ex-State Treasurer Sig Unan ;der who has been appointed ' a member of the Federal Mari time commission. His appoint ment comes up for confirma tion by the Senate Feb. 3. - Kuchel said he would support him. Many state GOP bigwigs were at the dinner which was presided over by State Sen. : Anthony Yturri (R-Ontario). y The speech by uates saia . ' more Atlas intercontinental . ballistic missiles will become battle-ready in April and said ' the Titan ICBM will become "operational in the summer of .1961. The first Atlas missiles , are in war-ready status at ' Vandenburg Air Force Base, Calif. The April addition of bat- tie -ready missiles will be placed at Francis E. Warren . Air Force base, Cheyenne, Wyo. Gates speech was a recital ! of American military strength , and a reiteration of much that he has been telling Congress over the past two weeks. He said that all the missiles the ; Soviet Union could muster to- day would not be enough to '.destroy America's ability to strike back.

Power said .today that Russia might have 5 enough intercontinental mis- siles within two years to "launch a massive nuclear at ,tack on the United States. But, Power, chief of the Stragtegic Air Command, said I the Soviet Union would be afraid to make such an at tack if America's nuclear -bombers were kept on air borne alert. Such an alert, he said, "can be instituted when ' required." . "If the Russians were not deterred from attacking," Power declared, "we will 'have no active defense what ever against their ballistic missiles." The SAC commander made the statements in a speech prepared for the American ; Legion's National Security ." commission. The remarks rwere sure to add fuel to the ''controversy over new admin istration estimates downgrad : ing the Russian missile threat. Democrats claim the new view 'is "too rosy." Another speaker, Sen. Hen 'ry M. Jackson (D-Wash.), a member of the Senate Armed Services committee, told the v Legion group he would seek i funds for 10 new Polaris mis ; sile submarines this year, sev en more than President Ei ' senhower's defense budget recommended. ; But Power said the Navy's Polaris missiles could "con ceivably even detract" from the nation's offensive strength unless they were integrated with SAC weapons under a "harmonious" command. A joint Strategic Command is under consideration at the Pentagon. Although the 1,500-mile Polaris will carry an H-bomb warhead. Power referred to it as a "small" missile. The four-star general em phasized his belief that the nation must prepare for an airborne alert in which some of his SAC nuclear bombers would be kept constantly in the air so they would not be destroyed on the ground by a surprise Russian attack. He said the survival of his bombers could be assured if a large portion were kept in the air. President Eisenhower has asked Congress for 90 million dollars to prepare for such an airborne alert. In promising to seek extra money for a wide range of defense items, Jackson said he would ask for the estimat ed one billion dollars to pay for the first year of an around-the-clock airborne alert. His speech, following sim ilar criticism by Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), kept up the drumfire of Democratic attacks on administration de fense policies. Like Syming ton, Jackson frequently has criticized Eisenhower's mili tary programs.

(UPI Telephoto) Cuban President Says Differences May Work Out Havana (UPD President Os valdo Dorticos Torrado blamed the United States Wednesday night for the dif ferences between America and Cuba, but said he be lieves they can be "resolved effectively" by diplomatic means. In a televised reply to Presi dent Eisenhower's press con ference remarks about Cuba this week, Dorticos challeng ed the U.S. President on al most every point. The tone of his speech, however, was not hostile. Dorticos was especially sharp in his rejection of Eis enhower's assertion that the "intrigues of international communism" are a factor in the growing coolness between the United States and Cuba. He said American "misun derstanding" of the Cuban revolution, coupled with the "wrongs inflicted on our na tion" by the United States were the main causes of the current friction between the two countries. Castro has not commented as yet on the Eisenhower statement. In a radio-TV broadcast early today, he re ferred only inferentially .to differences between the Unit ed States and Cuba. Castro's speech at an out door supper marking the 107th anniversary of the birth of Cuban patriot Jose Marti was in part a eulogy of Marti and in part an appeal to the Cuban people for indepen dence and dignity. 164 26 16 36 143 4 297g 367s 31 V 562 92 'A 123 Hatfield Speaks of Judges; Nixon of a GOP Campaign Albuquerque, N.M. -(DPD- Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield declared here on Wednesday night that the federal judici al system must' get the same kind of bi-partisan support given to defense or foreign af fairs measures or justice will collapse under the burden of backlogs. Addressing a $100-a-plate "Salute to Ike" dinner, he said that creation of new judge ships "has been delayed four years by the Democratic ma jority in Congress in the hope a patronage-passins president of their own party would be coming along. "Meanwhile, justice has be come an illusion for many of our people through no fault of the existing judges but through p combination of sim ple multiplication and refusal by the Democrats to provide manpower to do the job." Delay Said Long He said the delay in cases reaching trial has run as much as four years for a me dian case.

"This is no criticism of in dividual judges," Hatfield said. "The reason is simple. The expansion of the courts has not kept pace with the growth of the country." He said the backlog in crease from 1941 to 1959 has jumped 117 per cent, the num ber of motor vehicle injury cases has increased more than five times in 20 years and U. S. population has increased 36 per cent. "President Eisenhower," he said, "has swung the pendu lum of appointment back to balance after 20 years of Dem ocratic - dominated appoint ments. He has willingly of fered to make appointments on a bi-partisan basis. "It remains for the Demo crats in Congress to create the bench positions so that justice might be speeded." Washington-(UPD- Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon of fered the nation's voters to day a 1960 GOP presidential campaign based on the Eisen hower administration's "out standing" record and a pledge to. improve it. President Eisenhower, Nix on and other top Republican leaders formally opened the campaign Wednesday night at a nationwide series of 83 "din ner with Ike" banquets in 43 states. Speaking from Los Ange les to the diners via closed circuit TV, Eisenhower in ef fect advised Republicans to campaign on the basic poli cies of his administration which had made the country "over-all the strongest power op earth, both militarily and economically." Warns of Smugness Nixon, unopposed for the GOP presidential nomination, told the largest of the din ners, in Chicago, that Repub licans would wage the elec tion fight with a pledge to improve as well as continue the "outstanding" record of the Eisenhower administra tion. New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, who bowed out of any fight with Nixon for the GOP nomination, said the party could not meet the "staggering responsibilities" of the future only with the devices and programs of the Eisenhower era. But he praised the President and his accomplishments. Nixon, vho introduced Eis enhower to the estimated 100, 000 televiewers, warned his party against any temptation to be "smug and self-satisfied" about past achievements. He said the GOP must consider the Eisenhower record as "the solid foundation upon which to build even greater accom plishments." In New York City, Repub lican National Chairman Thurston B. Morton scoffed at "politically-motivated" Demo cratic critics of the Presi dent's defense program "with their paper hats and wooden swords." 11511 v',S- , r or you .. your family ... your guests ..
