DCie ChaDleneed To Give SpecafffiC3T si tVOnssnBe Progress in Sunday Report Other Training Manuals May Be Probe Subjects Washington -(UPD- Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House Armed Services Com mittee, "distressed" at re peated Air Force goofs in training manuals, today or dered a full inquiry that pos sibly may embrace the man uals of Army and Navy as well. He directed a subcommit tee headed by Rep. Melvin Price (D-Ill.) to make the study, starting with an Air Force security manual, issued to reservists and now re called, linking churches with Communism. Noting that this was the second controversial Air Force publication to come to light in recent weeks-the oth er advising airmen how to mix drinks, wash dishes, make beds and wash dogs for the generals-Vinson said the subcommittee later may want to broaden its inquiry to cov er the whole field of training manuals in all the services Meanwhile, it was learned that the Air Force has issued an iron-clad rule to prevent the publication of any more manuals . like the security publication that aroused the ire of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. MEDFORD Regional Edition Republican Backers Of Defense Program Have Rough Going Tribune 'Senator Jackson Hopes Talk Won't Be Too General Page 2A Bar Will Conduct Preferential Poll Salem -(UPD- A preferential poll among lawyers on judic ial posts which are contested will be conducted by the Ore gon State Bar.

We Give GREEN STAMPS ELLIS MARKET 620 Crater Lake Avenue (Continued from page 1) Republican supporters in Congress have been having heavy going in the face of at tacks by such Democratic leaders as Sens. Lyndon Johnson (Tex.) and Stuart Symington (Mo.) and Speaker Sam Rayburn and Rep. Carl Vinson (Ga.), chairman of the House Armed Services Com mittee. While the debate on mis siles rages publicly, the House Military Appropriations sub committee under Chairman Georee Mahon (D-Tex.) has been working on the defense spending plan quietly behind closed doors. Mahon, usually reluctant to make public comments during the course of appropriations hearings, has said the United States now has superior striking power but faces a "frighten ing situation" because of Rus sian missile superiority. Mahon has spoken of a pos sible need for further re organization of the Defense Department. The administration plan recognizes, to some extent at least, the dangerous period ahead when Russia admitted ly will have superior numbers of missiles. Its new defense plan calls for money, albeit far less than Gen. Thomas S. Power of the Startegic Air Command wants, for practicing an air borne alert with SAC bomb ers. The idea is to be ready to put a large part of the bomber force on continuous patrol in an emergency so it could not be destroyed on the ground and could swiftly retaliate against missile attack. ; . . . The administration - plan also increases planned inter continental ballistic missile squadrons from 20 to 27 and adds three new Polaris mis sile submarines to bring the planned total to 12. Otherwise, the budget stretches out some military programs, .such as the B-70 and B-58 bombers, and kills others. It cuts previously au thorized military manpower by 31,000, reducing strength to 2,489,000. The level thus will drop below 2,500,000 for the first time since the Ko rean war buildup. Costs Going Up A strong case can be made for the argument that the budget will buy less defense in fiscal 1961. which starts July 1 than for fiscal 1960 That is because, as defense of ficials have emphasized, man power costs, the price of wea pons and the bill for opera- 1 1 o n and maintenance in creases annually, Eisenhower recognized this in his budget message. He said that increases in operat ing costs outweigh savings from reduced programs and "from economy measures Some military leaders be lieve the budget should have been 82 billion to $3 billion greater. They are concerned about the long-range implications for U.S. strategy in a plan that essentially holds the spending line in the face of rising costs Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr.. however, has stated the administration's po sition this way in capsule form: The United States is far superior to Russia in strate gic bombers, the chief means of delivering nuclear weapons today. While Russia will have "moderate" missile superior ity in the next three years, it will not be enough for the Russians to make a "rational" decision to attack. U. S. sea- power is . clearly superior, While Russia has far superior numbers of ground forces, the comparison is "more favor able" when the armies of the entire Free World .are counted.

Jackson (D-Wash.) today challenged President Eisenhower to give the Ameri can nfnnli "sDecifics on TT K- and Soviet missile prog ress in his radio-TV report Snnrlav nieht. "I hope it will not be anoth er, irpnpralized reassurance that we have overall deter rent streneth." Jackson told newsmen. "The people want to know specifically." MnT Testimonv Due ThP President announced Wednesday he would deliver a 15-mmute address at a. io p.m. (p.s.t.) Sunday to discuss liis defense policies and the South American tour he starts Mnnrtav. Additional testimony on the de fense controversy was snhoHnlpH in Consress today The House Space Committee called Maj. Gen. John B. Mpdaris met), former head of the Army Ballistic Missile Aeency. The Senate Space Committee summoned ur. i. Keith Glennan, director of the TMational Aeronautics and Space Administration. Useful Specifics Jackson, a frequent cnuc of administration defense nolicies. said there were use ful specifics which Eisenhow er could give the nation "witn- in the framework of securny reauirements." . "He should tell the Ameri can people whether Russia is ahead of us in ICBMs - within the limits of security," Jack son said. "The American peo ole are entitled to know where they stand vis-a-vis the Russians.' ' It is not sufficient to pmiatp bombers with mis siles," he added. Jackson said the President should state whether sufficient funds would be made available now so that "we will not be in an other pinch" in the future. .Tanksnn said he was puzzled by one of Eisenhower's news conference statements Wed nesday. That was the Presi dent's assertion that any sug gestions or implications he had misled the American peo ple were "despicable." Knows of No Charge The Washington Democrat said he knew of ho one who had charged that the Presi dent had "intentionally" mis led the nation. Jackson said, however, that the administra tion had known "that the Soviet was eoins to beat us to the ICBM" and had not ad mitted it. Khrushchev Gets Quiet Reception Jakarta -(UPD- Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev ar rived today for a 12-day In donesian state visit marked by extreme security measures and an unusually quiet recep tion. Khrushcev received a cor dial welcome from President Sukarno and other Indonesian officials. But his reception by Indonesian citizens lacked the warmth extended President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic, Mar shal Tito of Yugoslavia, or Communist North Viet Namese President Ho . Chi Minh. One long-time observer said the reception at the air port was "the quietest yet" for a visiting high dignitary. Hordes of police and sol diers had no difficulty in keep ing order in the crowds total ing 500,000 at the airport and along the route to the city. Khrushchev flew here to day from Rangoon where he talked with President U Min Maung and strongman Pre mier Ne Win. ; "41 fit, t& il. s Cr BLESSED EVENT AWAITED-Britain's Royal Family, shown in a photograph made last June, may be increased at any moment. A source close to Buckingham Palace told United Press International the birth of Queen Elizabeth's third child would be today. Despite the general feeling the birth was some days overdue, there was no evident concern for the Queen's health. Left to right, they are Prince Charles, Prince Philip, Princess Anne and the Queen. (UPI Telephoto) Excitement As Hour o Nears for London - (UPB - Queen Eliza beth's four doctors called on her at Buckingham Palace to day and public tension . and excitement mounted by the hour in anticipation of the imminent birth of her third child. A source close to the palace said the birth would occur today even if had to be in duced. A late edition of the Lon don Evening News told its readers "there is now every indication that birth of the Queen's baby is imminent. It may be during tonight." Moved io Ground Floor The Queen was reported to have moved into the ground floor Belgian Suite, which has been converted into a mater nity room for the birth. The palace spokesman de clined to pinpoint an expected time of birth but like all of Britain he had lost the stiff-upper-lip composure generally expected in royal circles. Even the Royal College of Arms, an elderly group re garded by their countrymen as unable to "go into a flap," came very close to making an error Wednesday. Premature News Members of the scholarly college were attending to their duty of verifying noble family trees when an elderly colleague rushed in and an nounced breathlessly: "Great news, gentlemen. It's a boy." The college members had signed, sealed and almost de livered a congratulatory scroll to the Queen when they learn ed the news was premature. mounts f Birth Queen Hatfield Favors Several Changes Portland (UPD Gov. Mark Hatfield said Wednesday Ore gon's constitution should be completely revised. He told a student audience at Lewis and Clark College that the constitution in its first century of use has de veloped into "a code voted in year by year to the advantage of certain strong interest groups." ' Hatfield also suggested an end to the present national convention system. He said it did not allow popular choice of candidates. National prefer ence candidates should be established in all SO states, he said. He also told the students terms of U.S. senators should be increased to eight years and representatives to four years. They presently are six and two years, respectively. Herter Warns On Miscalculation By STEWART HENSLEY United Press International Washington -(UPD- Secretary of State Christian A. Herter warned today that scientific advances are driving the world ever closer to the possi bility of "war by miscalcula tion." ' Herter said that in order to arrest this frightening prog ress toward the possibility of "general war," it was urgent ly necessary to take steps to create "a more stable military environment." The secretary made his re marks in a speech at a Na tional Press Club luncheon. Submarine May Have Escaped Buenos Aires - (UPD - The mystery submarine which had been reported lurking in the Argentine navy's Nuevo Gulf maneuver area appears to have escaped to the open sea it it was reported today. The navy refused to con firm reports from 'the gulf saying that the sub was de tected and attacked Tuesday night by Argentine warships making contact with it for the first time in more than 36 hours. It was uncertain whether a second submarine which had been reported maneuvering in Craker Gulf, apparently try ing to take some of the pres sure off its sister ship in Nuevo Gulf, was still in the area. Sen. Luis Racedo, chairman of the Defense Committee, said Wednesday the Nuevo Gulf operation proved the necessity of modernizing Ar gentina's armed forces.
