Donnybrook Seen
Over Missile Gap
Washington-(UPD-A political
donnybrook appeared to be
developing today over wheth
er the Kennedy administration
has found there is no "missile
gap" between the United
States and Russia.
Senate Republican Leader
Everett Dirksen said pub
lished reports stating that a
. new Pentagon study showed
no missile gap proved "Ike
was right" and the Kennedy
administration had just "dis
covered it."
But White House Press Sec
retary Pierre Salinger said
Tuesday night after a meeting
with President Kennedy and
other government officials
that the published reports
were "inaccurate."
He said "no such study has
been completed, no such find
ing has been made in any
study up to the present."
Therefore, he added, "the
story is Inaccurate."
A number of Washington
newsmen reported Monday
night that continuing Defense
Department studies showed
that Russia had no edge over
the United States in number
of missiles, and no Soviet su
periority in over-all destruc
tive power was expected.
Republicans inCongress
seized upon the news reports
to level an attack upon the
Kennedy administration, de
manding an apology to former
President Eisenhower for
Democratic charges in the
presidential campaign.
Dirksen served notice today
that GOP leaders would dis
cuss the missile issue at their
legislative conference Thurs
day and also carry the fight to
the Senate floor. -
The GOP leader said the re
ported defense findings would
be taken up along with Ken
nedy s proposals to halt the
drain on gold reserves and ex
tend unemployment compen
sation.
The reported new defense
conclusions were disputed by
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D
Wash.), a member of the
Armed Services Committee,
who Insisted there is a missile
gap between Russia and this
country unless intelligence fig
ures have been "changed
again.

Opponents Claim
Some Businesses
Would Be Closed
Salem - tUPD - Opponents of
an effort to parallel President
Kennedy's $1.25 minimum
wage proposal with a similar
bill to cover additional jobs
on the state level said Tues
day such a law would put
more people out of work in
Oregon.
Spokesmen for enterprises
ranging from hotels to gas sta
tions and parking lots warned
the House Labor and Indus
tries committee a minimum
wage and overtime law in
Oregon would simply force
them to "let marginal em
ployees go."
Would Close Businesses
They said such a law also
would put small operations al
ready struggling to exist "com
pletely out of business."
Labor spokesmen said the
state law would be patterned
exactly after President Ken
nedy's proposal which was
sent to Congress Tuesday-but
would take in small and un
organized operations that
would not be included in the
federal act.
Main areas affected by the
state proposal would be hotels,
lodging and service trades.
Step-Hikes Proposed
The $1.25 minimum wage
would b e c p m e effective
through step - hikes over a
three or four year period
under the state plan.
Provisions for a 40 - hour
week with overtime pay
would have a broad effect on
supermarket and department
store employees. Certain cate
gories of employees would be
exempt.
Denies Harm
George Brown, of the Ore
gon AFL-CIO, denied the
measure would hurt small
businesses and force cutbacks
in personnel.
On the contrary, he said, it
would spur business by rais
ing the purchasing power of
employees receiving higher
pay.
Brown said many Oregon
women now work for 65 or 75
cents an hour, and labelled
this a "barbaric act of exploi
tation." Committee Chairman W. O.
Kelsay (D-Roseburg) indicated
more hearings will be held on
the measure. '
Space Vehicle for
Moon Travel Shown
Pasadena, Calif. - (UPD - A
working, fullscale model of
a space vehicle designed to be
launched and land on the
moon in 1965-66 was placed
on display Tuesday.
Called the Surveyor, the 7-
by-11 foot vehicle is designed
to make a soft landing on the
moon where It will televise
pictures back to earth.
It Is equipped with four
cameras and other instru
ments and would operate on
the moon about one month,
scientists said.
The model was unveiled at
a-news conference at the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
administration's Jet propul
sion laboratory. Present plans
call for seven of the Survey
ors to be launch atop Atlas
Centaur rockets to the moon
during the 1965-66 period.
Other instruments aboard
the model included seismome
ters to record moon quakes or
meteor impacts and drills to
bite into the moon's crust so
information about the lunar
makeup can be radioed back
to earth.
Goldwafer Denies
1964 Candidacy
Los Angeles-dlPIJ-Sen. Bar
ry Goldwater, conservative
Arizona Republican, Tuesday
flatly declared: "I do not seek
nor want to be the Repub
lican presidential candidate
in 1964."
Goldwatef then said at a
news conference that former
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon's chances of getting the
nomination depended heavily
on his return to politics
through the 1962 California
gubernatorial election.
"It is imperative that Mr.
Nixon win the governorship if
he has any Intention of seek
ing the presidency," said
Goldwater. "I say this because
it is evident that a man in
high office will be heard by
his constituency whereas a
man discussing public issues
behind a lawyers desk hos a
very limited audience.

$240 MiilioiTfo
Be Distributed
A total of $240 mi!lion will
be distributed this year to
more than 5 million veterans
who are GI life insurance pol
icyholders, S. T. Brannock
contact representative of the
VA Domiciliary, White City
said today.
The dividends are primarily
refunds to policyholders of
part of their premium pay
ments, Brannock explained.
The refunds accumulate be
cause the death rate among
the GI policyholders continues
to be lower than the rate upon
which the premiums were es
tablished by law.
Policyholders will receive
their dividends on the anni
versary dates of their policies
-that is, the anniversary of
the dates on which the poli
cies were taken out, or shortly
thereafter.
These payments are auto
matic, Brannock said, and in
quiries from the policyholders
will only delay the premium
payments by taking the insur
ance personnel away from
their task of processing the
dividends.
The dividends will, be held
to the credit of the policy for
all veterans who have so re
quested for prior dividends,
Brannock said..
