IN THE MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER Shop Monday and Friday 12 Noon Till 9 P.M. Dangerous Risk Said Being Taken With Security Washington-(UPD-The White House declined comment to day on criticism of President Eisenhower's defense program by a former Truman adminis tration official who quit as a $50,000 a year missile plant executive- to crusade for a speed-up in U.S. defenses. Mrs. Anne Wheaton, asso ciate press secretary, said the White House would have nothing to say about the state ments by Thomas G. Lanphier Jr., who stepped down Tues day night as vice president of the Convair Division of Gen eral Dynamics Corp, Lanphier, 44, a World War II pilot, formerly was a spe cial assistant to Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), when Symington was air secretary. Symington, a n unavowed Democratic presidential con tender, is a leading critic of the administration's defense program. Symington also declined comment about Lanphier's resignation from Convair, which manufactures Atlas ballistic missiles. Lanphier, who said three weeks ago that Eisenhower was "taking a dangerous, dangerous gamble with national security," reit erated this belief today. He said his resignation was motivated by his concern for the nation's security and his desire to take his warnings to the American people as a pri vate individual. "I cannot comfortably re main employed in a defense industry," he said. "This does not necessarily mean the dis comfort is engendered by the organization for which I work." J. V. Naish, president , of Convair, announced in a pre pared statement that Lan phier's resignation was for "personal reasons." Lanphier's criticism of Ei senhower and the nation's po sition in the missile and space race was knowrr" to have dis tressed management of Gen eral Dynamics Cprp. Lanphier accused Eisen hower of underestimating Russia's strength and overes timating the strength of the U. S. "Eisenhower speaks of Po laris, the Minuteman and Ti tan missiles as 'almost in being.' The enemy knows bet ter," said Lanphier. . "The father image is no defense against Khrushchev. "The President is wrong when he says he knows more about modern weaponry than anyone else. Since his time (as an active military com mander) modern weaponry has moved beyond his com prehension. "He doesn't understand it and he proves it every week ... by his own words." Lanphier said his attitude toward Eisenhower was "re spectful, perhaps even affec tionate, since my father at tended West Point with him." But he said he believed the President was uninformed or misinformed about the na tion's position in missiles and space. Lanphier said today he thought Eisenhower "is tak ing a chance with the survi val of my country that I don't think he has the right to do." Sen. Morse Vigorously Denies Making Deal With Humphrey By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington Sen Wayne Morse Tuesday backed away from the presidential primary m his native Wisconsin, but vigorously de nied reports he had made a deal with a rival candi date to stay away: Morse, who has for weeks aT Rout, smith- been evaluat ing his chances in Wisconsin's April 5 primary were Sens. John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey are . already en gaged in a hot contest, Tues day said , he had reluctantly concluded he didn't have suf ficient funds to x challenge these other candidates with an effective campaign. The Washington Post and columnist Robert S. Allen have reported unidentified sources in the Humphrey and Morse campaigns to the effect that a deal was in the making whereby Morse would stay out of Wisconsin and Hum phrey would keep out of the District of Columbia where Morse has entered. Report Called False Morse called the report "absolutely false.'.' He said he "never made any deals in his political career." Humphrey's campaign man ager for the D. C. primary, W. John Kenney, Tuesday said Humphrey planned to stay in the May . 3 District primary against Morse. He said he and Humphrey were in California when reports of the deal arose, and "no one was auth orized to make any such pro posal to the Morse people." Another straw in the Wis consin winds was offered Tuesday by Rep. Robert W. Nixon Answers Defense Critics South Bend, Ind.-flJPD-Vice President Richard M. Nixon said Tuesday night the United States is so strong it could crush any Communist attack. Nixon, answering critics of the administration's defense program, said that an enemy attack on this country would mean "national suicide" for the aggressor. "I admit that Russia has great military strength," Nix on said, "and that looking into the cold, hard faces of our opponents, we can realize that they have the will to win." But,, he said, the U.S. is also working hard to keep its strength up. "Plans we have in effect" are aimed at assur ing that the U.S. always main tains' its retaliatory punch, Nixon said. Nixon was here to receive the annual patriotism award presented by the senior class of the University of Notre Dame. . SEARCH FOR KIDNAPERS New York -(UPB- Police to day hunted three thugs who Tuesday kidnaped truck driv er Harvey: Locke, 47, of Ban gor, Pa., and stole his truck contining $20,000 worth of textiles. The thugs released Locke several miles from the midtown street where the hi jacking occurred after driving him around in a car for more than three hours. Kastenmeier (D-Wis.), whose district includes the Madison area where Morse spent his boyhood. Kastenmeier sent out a questionnaire to 30,000 residents of his district with a question about their presi dential choice. He listed five Democratic conten ders by name - Humphrey, Kennedy, Sens. Lyndon B. Johnson and Stuart Symington and Adlai Stevenson. He also left a blank for write-ins. In 2,582 returns, Stevenson drew 552 supporters, or 34.2 per cent; Humphrey 459, for 28.6 per cent; Kennedy 422 or 26.2 per cent; Johnson 69 or 4.3 per cent, and Syming ton 73 or 4.5 per cent. As a write-in, Morse re ceived 16 votes. There were 17 other write-in votes for other figures. Morse's office said he had taken no polls, but friends had made some private sound ings. Funds Beyond Means "A survey of the Wisconsin political scene satisfies me that the funds needed to or ganize and conduct a cam paign there are beyond my means," Morse said in explain ing his" decision. "There is no doubt about the fact that Kennedy and Humphrey are spending substantial sums of money in the Wisconsin pri mary, in fact far more than I think should be spent. I can not compete with them on a financial basis." He said because of the "time, energy and expense involved," he expected to limit his primary campaign ing to Oregon, Maryland and Washington, D. C.
