nounced the royal birth to an
overjoyed nation with the
statement:
"Both the Emperor Hirohito
and Empress Nagako as well
as Crown Prince Akihito and
Princess Michiko are happy a
child was born. We are all
praying for the' good health
of the princess mother and
child."
All of Japan joined in those

The tiny baby will be pre

imperial tradition. Seven
days after birth he will be
named and his name will be
reported to the three sacred
Shinto shrines on the palace
grounds.
Michiko and Akihito, who
were married ten months and
13 days ago, will have little
to say about the choice of a
name for the infant. That will
be left largely to the Imperial
Household agency.

Dirksen To Fire
Barrage Against
Military Critics
Washingtdn (DPD Senate
Republican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen (111.) was to fire the
next barrage today in a bur
geoning GOP counterattack
against Democratic critics of
President Eisenhower's mili
tary program.
Dirksen obtained permis
sion to speak to the Senate
for at least a half hour on the
defense issue.
The speech could touch off
another defense debate like
the four-hour argument that
raged Friday. Civil rights
foes hoped for such a hassle,
which would delay the Sen
ate's current rights debate.
Theme Set
Sen. Leverett Saltonstall
(R-Mass.), top GOP member
of the Senate Armed Services
committee, set the theme for
the Republican defense of
Eisenhower's policies in a
Washington's birthday speech
here Monday night.
The GOP theme is: The
"quality" of U.S. weapons
makes up for any lack of
quantity" and Democrats
who criticize the country's de
fenses as inadequate are play
ing politics.
Other congressional news:
Drugs: Spokesmen for drug
makers defended their indus
try against charges that some
fiis have been "gouging"
consumers. The president of
the Pharmaceutical Manufac
turers association and a con
sulting economist for the drug
industry were called to testify
at the resumption of Senate
hearings on drug prices.
Policy: The Senate subcom
mittee on national policy ma
chinery began an investiga
tion of how the government
reaches its major decisions.
Former Defense Secretary
Robert A. Lovett was sched
uled as the first witness.

A rash of death - dealing
cold weather fires swept the
country in the past two days.
At least 42 persons were
killed in fires since Sunday
night, a United Press Inter
national survey showed.
The toll climbed alarming
ly today when seven persons
died in a hotel fire at Omaha,
Neb., three firemen were kill
ed battling a general alarm
fire in downtown St. Louis,
and three children died when
fire destroyed their home at
Brinkley, Ark.
One other person was be
lieved missing and four were
injured in the Omaha blaze.
One of the hospitalized leap
ed from a second floor win
dow, Omaha firemen said.
Interior Gutted
The fire was believed to
have started near a second
floor washroom and quickly
gutted the interior of the
hotel.
The St. Louis firemen were
trapped when the top two
stories of a three-story build
ing collapsed. Workers toiled
through the night to recover
the bodies.
One of the 10 injured was a
Roman Catholic priest, Father
John Hickel, 31, who was hurt
when he entered the flaming
building to administer the
last rites to one of the trap
ped firemen.
Elbert Johnson, 12, James
Pye Jr., 6, and Marvil Stigall,
2, died in the Arkansas fire.
Four others escaped the
blaze.
Stoves Overtaxed
Many of the fire deaths
Monday were in the south,
where householders overtax
ed their stoves and furnaces
to keep out severe winter
cold.
Five persons perished when
a fire swept a Harrisonburg,
Va., rooming house; four died
in a Bluff Springs, Fla., home;
a Roanoke, Va., couple were

A master sergeant and
three civilians devoted a total
of 230 days to composing the
"on-the-job training" manual.
Just 500 copies were pub

to generals, at a total publish

These vital statistics were

Manuals Stir Controversy

today by opening final argu

Crail, a doom-voiced veter

Finch.

charges were "absolutely

An armed services subcom
mittee, on the other hand, is
laying groundwork for an in
quiry into how this manual
came to be issued.
Contents 'Misconstrued'
Explaining the manual for
generals' aides, the Air Force
said some of the contents had
been "misconstrued," or could
be, anyway. This presumably
referred to sections on how
to bathe a dog, shine shoes,
clean toilets, mop, dust, wait
on the table, and greet guests.
"The fact that certain tasks
or procedures were included
in the manual does not indi
cate that such duties were to
be performed regularly by the
airman aide as a routine part
of his duty," the Air Force
sr'd.
