Congressman Sees Political Cause for Delay Washington-lUPIl - Defense Secretary Robert S. McNa mara has withheld from Con gress since July the results of a critical study of the con troversial 2,000-mile-an hour RS70 warplane, according to Rep. Leslie C. Arends, (R-Ill.). Arends the top - ranking i Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, which unanimously voted early this year to "direct" McNamara to speed develop ment of the plane, but then settled for a compromise call ing for a new study. Arends says McNamara now apparently intends to "study" the plane to death. Caustic Statement The congressman issued a caustic statement through his office here Tuesday noting that "the distinguished secre tary of defense has gained a reputation for making 'fast and firm decisions'. "The delaying tactics with respect to the RS70 have bad ly tarnished that reputation, Arends said. Maybe, he said, McNamara made too fast a decision in the first place and now intends to stand firm against speeding up the plane regardless of military and con gressional opinion. "There is no reason, except possibly political, why the secretary of defense could not have advised Congress In July as to the findings and recom mendations of the Air force after the new study of the plane was made, Arends con tended. He said now that Con gress has adjourned "nothing can be done" about the RS70 program. Funds Requested President Kennedy asked Congress last winter for $171 million to continue a program calling for three of the planes, then called B70 and envision ed as bombers. Total cost of the program over a period of years will be $1.3 billion. After listening to McNa- mara's and the Air Force's testimony on the plane's po tcntialitics, the House Armed Services Committee sided 100 per cent with the Air Force and voted to order McNamara to expand and hasten the de velopment program. The committee aim was to build six experimental planes. and more importantly to get set for full production of the plane in a supersonic recon naissance strike version. Vote Forestalled Kennedy intervened with the powerful committee chair man, Carl Vinson (D-Ga..) and forestalled a House vole on 'ordering" McNamara to ex pand the RS70 program. The Pentagon promised a new study of the complicated elec tronics equipment the plane would need, which McNamara claimed was too advanced for American technology nt pres ent and which the Air Force claimed could be made. Congress, meanwhile, ap propriated $191.6 million more than Kennedy asked for the plane. Mayor Snider Is Named Director M.'Hf.irH Mui',.,.

This number includes ap proximately 3,000 actual resi dents of Monaco, 4,000 Italians We want you to know how much we appreciate your patience with us while we've been digging our way out of the biggest and most difficult electric service problem ever experienced in the West! The total damage done by the hurricane-force winds that hit last Friday can never be assessed in dollars alone. Anxieties for family safety, the anguish of watching a home battered and broken, the emptiness of the sky above a fallen landmark tree -all such things are beyond measure except in terms of deep human emotion. Almost every one of the 200,000 customers we serve in the 300-mile strip from northern California to the Columbia River, was personally af fected by this unprecedented storm. We particularly regret the discom fort, inconvenience and distress resulting from storm - caused electric service disruptions. We arc grateful for your patience and understanding of our problems, in the face of your own personal difficulties. We are also full of gratitude for the extraordinary efforts of our P.P. & L. team members, who have worked day and night to restore service as fast as humanly possible. Our thanks, too, to the good-neighbor utility systems and electrical contractors in the western half of the country, who sent crews as much as 1,000 miles to give us a helping hand. We hope that soon even the most heavily damaged and most remote areas will have all electric customers back in service, even though it will take weeks to complete all permanent repairs and replacements. Thank you again for your forbearance in a time of great trouble. Pacific Power & Light Company To Meeting and 9,500 French who travel across the border to work every day. The union leader said the workers fear their employers would use the crisis as an ex cuse for refusing wage in creases. Although the employ ers pay hardly any taxes to the state, the workers receive i less here than in France, he complained. "But I do not think the for-. cign businesses will close if they have to pay taxes," he said. "I am optimistic." All was calm at the palace ; today. A high government of- i ficial said Monaco still was waiting for France to resume ' negotiations. ! So far, little Monaco's big ' neighbor has not unveiled any j new harassing tactics in the 1 tense "clash" over taxes. Wednesday France will treat Monaco as a foreign country when it comes to buy ing postage stamps, doubling the price of mailing a letter between the two nations.
