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.

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.
Next: An assessment of the
congressional defense debate.

OPEN MONDAY Nl&rilS "TIL II
Washington - (UPD - Sen
Henrv M. 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

Khrushcev received a cor

Sukarno and other Indonesian
officials. But his reception by
Indonesian citizens lacked the

Gamal Abdel Nasser of the
United Arab Republic, Mar

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

talked with President U Min

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.

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.
