Henry Bccutoid made, how to
operate it, how to maintain
and repair it, how to identify
and catalogue it, and anything
else that a contract calls for.
Of the $41 billion spent on
defense last year, some $1
billion or 2.5 per cent is said
to have been spent on these
accompanying documents.

The proportion runs higher
on some contracts. . It is not
uncommon for the technical
manuals involved in a $1.5
million bid for hardware to
cost from $100,000 to $150,
000, or up to 10 per cent.
Closely Regulated
Not only are these technical
documents expensive to pre
pare, but they must be pro
duced in accordance with
stringent government specifi
cations, themselves intricate
documents.
Many manufacturers whose
talents and interests are fo
cused on design and manufac
ture of the actual product pre
fer to farm out these elaborate
documentation assignments on
a sub-contract basis.
One of the happy recipients
of these sub-contracts is Arcs
Industries, Inc., a technical
services organization with fa
cilities in New York, Wash
ington and Dayton, Ohio.
Like 15 to 20 other quali
fied service contractors, Arcs
is staffed and equipped to ac
cept assignments on short
notice, usually at less cost
than the manufacturer could
hire and train personnel for
the purpose. '
These experienced special
ists can estimate costs in ad
vance, a boon to contractors
who must allow for this vital
element in preparing their
original bids.
Outside Help Needed
Large companies, working
regularly under government
contract, have special depart
ments of their own for the
preparation of technical docu
ments. But even these firms
will be able to handle less
than half of the vast volume
of 1961 requirements, accord
ing to Arcs president Alexan
der Kahn.
The smaller or middle
sized manufacturer finds pro
viding technical data a great
er burden, and his reliance
upon outside specialists is
likely to be more complete.
Kahn said that a major
factor in the decision of many
firms to employ specialists is
the guarantee they can give of
government approval and ac
ceptance of the finished product.
The greater the standardi
zation applied to provisioning
procedures throughout the
military, he added, the greater
the advantage to contractors
employing outside specialists
who already are familiar with
requirements.
A substantial increase in
this type of technical doeu-
mentation is expected in the
next few years. It has been
predicted that when standard
ized provisioning procedures
for electronics, aircraft, and
ground mobile equipment are
put into effect, fully half of
the spare parts documentation
will be done for government
suppliers by specialized serv
ice contractors.
With an estimated 5,000
new equipment firms to be
provisioned annually, Kahn
said the proportion handled
under sub-contract will prob
ably amount to some $25 mil
lion a year.
Uruguay Orders
Cubans Expelled
Montevideo, Uruguay (UPD
Uruguay has ordered the Cu
ban ambassador and the So
viet embassy's first secretary
to get out of the country in an
action which may presage an
open break with Castroite Cu
ba. The nine-member Presiden
tial Council voted 6-2 Thurs
day night, with one member
absent, to expel Ambassador
Mario Garcia Inchaustegui
and embassy Secretary Mijail
K. Sanmoilov.
The official announcement
offered no explanation for the
order nor did it say whether
any deadline had been set for
the departure of the two dip
lomats. Councilman Cesar Batlle
Pachecho, however, described
Garcia as the representative
of a "government of thieves
and bandits" and denounced
his "more than notorious in
tervention in Uruguay's inter
nal affairs."
Neither Batlle nor any oth
er source would comment im
mediately on the expulsion of
Sanmoilov.

life the new nation would know only 67
days of peace. Map shows the Confederate

Four More States Leave Union
By MEHTON T. AKERS
United Press International
A new nation was being
born in the Deep South in
January, 1861 - a nation des
tined to know only 67 days
of peace in its four years of
life.
A hundred years ago, Jan.
20, 1861, four more slates had
joined South Carolina in
breaking away from the Un
ion - Mississippi, Florida, Al
abama and Georgia.
Shortly thereafter, Louisi
ana and Texas tossed their
futures in with their sister
states. And by Feb. 4 the Con
federate States of America
would be born in Montgom
ery, Ala., attended by a dis
tinguished staff of statesmen.
Unlike South Carolina,
where the Ordinance- of Se
cession went whooping
through unanimously, the four
sister states ran into some op
position. Davis Gives Blessing
Mississippi finally left the
Union on Jan. 9, by an 84 to
15 vote, with the blessing of
U. S. Sen. Jefferson Davis,
who from Washington kept
the mails of the U. S. - a
foreign power as far as he was
concerned humming with
letters of advice and counsel
On secession day the state
responded by making him a
major general, commandin
the Army of the Republic of
Mississippi.
Davis had been a colonel
in the Mexican War, wound
ed at the Battle of Buena Vis
ta and near the end of that
war had refused a brigadier-
ship in the U. S. Army. Later
he served as secretary of war
under President Frank 11 n
Pierce.
Davis decided to remain in
the Senate until he was offi
cially notified that his state
had seceded, hoping, some
said, that he would be arrest
ed for treason, thereby forc
ing a trial in federal courts.
On Jan. 10 - the day after
Mississippi acted - Florida
delegates met in Tallahassee
and voted at 12:22 p.m., 62
to 7. to secede. The formal
signing was set for the next
day at a public ceremony.
Secession Formalized
Susan Bradford, not quite
15 years old, skipped school
at her plantation home where
30 slaves took care of the
household tasks and 300 more
tilled the land, and went to
the ceremony with her father,
Dr. Edward Bradford, a de
scendant of Gov. William
Bradford of Plymouth.
That night she wrote in her
diary:
"Capitol Square was so
crowded you could sec noth
ing but heads ... as the old
town clock struck one . . .
the convention . . . walked out
on the portico (of the Capitol)
. It was impossible for
me to tell in .wnai oracr u
(the secession ordinance) was
signed, the heads were clus
tered so closely around the
table, but presently I heard
He dipped his pen in the ink,
and holding it aloft, he said
in the saddest of tones, 'When
I die I want it inscribed on
my tombstone that I was the
last to give up the ship. Then
he wrote slowly across the
sheet before him, 'George T.
Ward.'
"The stillness could almost
be felt.
Surface Rights On
Claims Will Be
Determined Soon
Surface rights on mining
claims in the Union B area of
Douglas county will be de
termined in the near future,
according to the bureau of
land management.
A formal notice will be de
livered to persons whose
names and addresses are de
termined as provided In the
new multiple-use minors law.
Owners of a mining claim
located before July 23, 1955,
will have 150 days after the
first publication to assert sur
face rights.
The owner of the claim may
ignore the notices, thereby
waiving his rights to the sur
face until the claim goes to
patent. He will still maintain
his original mining rights.
Surface Rights
If the claimant desires to
assert his surface rights, he
should file a verified state
ment asserting these rights.
His claim will then be ex
amined by mineral examiners.
If the rights are considered
valid, the U.S. forest service
will "probably" recognize
these rights and not attempt
to establish the public's rights
to control the surface re
sources under the new law,
according to the BLM.
Claims considered to be
questionable will come before
a hearing officer of the bureau
and he will make the final de
cision. Both the claimant and
the forest service will be
heard at the hearing.
BLM points out that "what
ever the decision, the claim
ant will retain his miricral
rights."
A map of the Union B area
and copies of the multiple-use
mining law of July 23, 1955,
in addition to the procedure
for determining surface
rights, are available for in
spection in the forest super
visor's office in the Medford
post office.
"When at length the names
were all affixed, cheer after
cheer rent the air; it was
deafening. Our world seemed
to have gone mad."
Alabama seceded next, 61
to 39. There the opposition
centered in the hill country
of the Tennessee Valley where
the people demanded that the
convention submit its ordi
nance of secession to a vole
of the people.
Georgia Meeting Stormy
Secession leaders believed
that "as goes Georgia, so goas
the Soulh." However, the fight
there was hard and lasted four
days. Alexander Stephens,
who would be the Confeder
ate vice president, led the op
position, which wanted to post
pone secession. Howell Cobb,
until a month before Presi
dent Buchanan's secretary of
treasury, plumped for imme
diate withdrawal from the Un
ion. The convention was stormy
Stnnhnns was hnwlpd rinwn
by the galleries. Delegates errighls.
packed guns to the meetings,
and Milledgevillc, the capital
of Georgia in those days, was
tense. The night before the
vote, girls and women were
warned to stay away Erom the
Capitol - anything might hap
pen,
The Stephens men tried
many parliamentary tactics
but at last the ordinance was
adopted, 20.8 to 89.
Bonfires, roman candles, sa
lutes and a parade greeted
the vole, yet the rejoicing was
not universal. Hcrschel V.
Johnson, former governor, not
ed, "I never felt so sad be
fore." An editor in La Grange,
Ga., wrote: "We have been
fifed and drummed and voted
out of the Union."
South Seiies Forts
Secession of the four slates
consisted of a lot more than
mere voting and celebrating
for by Jan. 20, the South had
seized from bewildered and
leaderlcss U. S. authorities a
full dozen forts, four arsenals,
one Navy yard, a Marine hos
pital and a handful of custom
houses.
The most important were
Ft. Pulaski at the mouth of
the Savannah, Ga., harbor and
the forts and navy yard at
Fcnsacola, Fla.
But the Floridians let one
prize slip through their fin
gers, Ft. Pickens. A cosily
error that was. For Pickens
lay on an island off the mouth
of Pensacola harbor. Like Ft.
Sumter at Charleston, 3. C. -both
corked the harbor bottles.
Washington - (UPD - Interior
Secretary-designate Stewart L.
Udall lias assured inquiring
senators thai he has no "fixed
view" on tiie controversial is
sue of public vs. private pow
er development.
The Arizona congressman
told the Senate Interior com
mittee studying his nomina
tion thai he would decide such
questions on t h e basis "of
which is best under the circumstances."
1 don't believe there is a
buill-in hostility between the
two," Udall said, adding that
he saw no reason why both
couldn't be used to .expand
American water power.
However, Udall emphasized
t the same time that he
strongly believed such re
sources should be developed
"for the good of the whole
nation."
Gels Friendly Reception
Udall received a warm
friendly reception from the
committee and Chairman Clin
ton P. Anderson(D-N. M.) com
mented later that action rec
ommending his confirmation
probably would be unanimous.
Udall was asked a wide
range of questions on his pro
spective policies during his
hour and a half appearance
before the Senate group.
Anderson called to his at
tention a telegram from the
Northwest Public Power as
sociation at Vancouver, Wash.,
protesting against the contin
ued service of Federal Recla
mation Commissioner Floyd
E. Dominy. The association
said that Dominy was biased
against public power.
Charge Unwarranted
Udall said he thought the
charge was unwarranted and
that Dominy had assured him
that he would "loyally carry
out" Udall's policies in the
new administration.
Udall said the keystone of
those policies will be the
"fullest possible development
of our river basins.
Udall also promised sena
tors that he would be "color
blind" as far as state lines
are concerned on regional con
troversies over water and pow-
In answer to questions by
ben. Henry Dworshak (R-Ida
no), uaan said he had no
plans to eliminate the current
post of assistant secretary ol
the interior for mineral re
sources. Udall said the field
was highly important.
In addition, he pledged ef
forts to find new programs to
help the ailing mining indus
try and improve the public
lands laws.
Udall also promised to work
out a more "modern" policy
dealing with Indian affairs.
