Big Slash In
Research Funds Revealed
WASHINGTON Wi A two-month
old directive which the Defense
Department made public only yes
terday slashes military research
and development spending by at
least 170 million dollars.
Sen. Monroney ID-Okla), pro
testing, urged President Kisen
hower to cancel the Aug. 17 di
rective "right now, before we cut
off some idea in mid brain that
might save the country from de
struction. The order, signed by Secretary
of Defense Charles Wilson before
his recent retirement, was not
made public at the time. It was
released yesterday alter an ac
count of it appeared in the Wash

pared to make their first night
. sighting of Sputnik and Ks accom
panying rocket when they pass
along the coast this week.
The rocket passed some 400
miles cast of Boston at 6:27 EST
last night but observatory offici
als did not attempt to spot it be
cause it was not high enough
above the horizon to be visible.
Tonight the rocket will pass a
point 200 miles southeast of Nan
tucket at 6:19 p.m. tonight.
Observatory oflicials said that
tomorrow night the rocket should
be high enough for good viewing
as it makes a southwest to norm-
east swim; and passes 200 miles
southeast or. Boston at 6:10 p.m
The satellite itself Is now trail
ing the Mtfet by some 30 min
utes. The Cambridge Moonwatch
team spotted both objects yester
day at 4:27 a.m. on their daily
northwest-southeast transits.
Observers at the observatory
said the data they are drawing
from tho satellite is directly ap
plicable to future American satel
lites.
Information from the continuing
reports of sightings is enabling
acientists to refine the predicted
orbit of Sputnik and the rocket
Latest figures released by the
observatory show that Sputnik is
now circling the globe once every
95.5 minutes compared with the
original estimated pace of 96.4
minutes.

harm done to research will be out
of proportion to the money saved.
A Defense Department spokes
man said yesterday that Wilson's
intent was for a careful review
by each service of its research
lest and evaluation programs in
the light of the current govern
ment economy drive.
Congress allotted five billion
dollars for research during the
current fiscal year, which began
July 1. The total included $1,700,-
000,000 for basic research and
$3,300,000,000 for research and de
velopment procurement.
The order directed the military
services to make cutbacks equal
to 10 per cent of each service's
portion of tho $1,700,000,000. But
the department spokesman said
i the cuts are intended to come out
of the $3,300,000,000 procurement
fund.
.Monroney called the order an
example of "meat ax economy,"
which he said is "10 times as
dangerous as have been the re
ductions, cutbacks and stretch
outs in the procurement of weap
ons already in production."
The Eisenhower administration
has been criticized in the past for
an alleged lack of interest in ba
sic research the long-range sci
entific investigations which fre
quently do not produce immedi
ately useful results.
Monroney said the U.S. program
to launch an earth satellite like
the Russian Sputnik has been de
layed because scientists running
the project "have had to justify
every increased cent" before one
executive budget officer after an
other as costs increased.
"It is no wonder," Monroney
said, "we let the Russians so ex
cilc the world with their satellite
that Hungary's horrors were
eclipsed by the Soviets whirling
new moon."
Pentagon officials have said in
the past that basic research funds
would not be affected by the cur
rent economy push. Wilson told a
Sept. 1(1 news conference that all
the basic research money would
"be utilized."

Utility Leader
On Power Problems Of N W
Cooperative effort on the part of
all electric utilities in the region
is the only way Oregon and the
Northwest can lick power supply
problems, a native of Klamath
Falls who now heads Oregon's
largest corporation told Rotarians
Friday.
Thomas W. Delzell, chairman of
the board and chief executive offi
cer of Portland General Electric
Company, said the question pro-
7 - ,
viding adequate power for the
Northwest can be resolved, "if all
groups pull together toward a com
mon goal."
Cooperation among utilities and
the government was one point in
a three-point power program sug
gested by Delzell, who was on the
staff of the California Oregon
Power Company for 16 years. He
also urged that power be removed
from the political arena and, called
for new federal power marketing
policies which would give Oregon
people "at least a reasonable share
of the federal power they have
helped create and pay for.
"Already," Delzell said, "there
have been too many kilowatts lost
or delayed because of political
side-choosing. Local utilities are
now building some four million
kilowatts of new power capacity.
This amount could have been in
creased by at least two million,
were it not for politically inspired
delay. John Day Dam, for ex
ample, would be well under con
struction by now and the proposed
projects on the middle stretch of
the Snake River would have been
started.
"I must point out that most of
this delay comes from Oregon, as
contrasted to the rapidly develop
ing state of Washington."
The utility leader urged that fed

eral power be distributed on a
"fair and equitable" basis.
"Under present law." Delzell said
"eighty five per cent of Oregon's
citizens will be denied use of any
firm federal power. Nearly all of
the power will go to the state of
Washington due to the operation of
the so-called preference clause,
which gives public agencies first
call on federal power regardless of
who needs it or who helped pay
for it."
Federal legislation designed to
allocate federal power on a fair
and equitable basis would guaran
tee Oregon almost four times as
much power as it will get under
present policy.
"This means," Delzell said, "Ore
gon would get about two million
kilowatts of low-priced government
power. Two million kilowatts mean
an investment of over a half bil
lion dollars. 1 know of no other
way Oregonians can get the bene
fit of such a tremendous invest
ment at no additional cost to the
state or its people."
Delzell pointed out that there Is
much precedent for allocation of
federal power. He said it can be
achieved for Oregon through the
united efforts of leaders of both
political parties.
The speaker has been head of
Portland County High School and
studying engineering at Oregon
State College, Delzell was with
Copco until 1935. He served as as
sistant Oregon public utilities com
missioner before joining PGE.

Mother, Seven Children
Die In Apartment Fire
BELPRE, Ohio LP A fire
blamed on defective wiring yes
terdav killed a mother and seven
of her children and left three oth
er members of the family home
less. The fire swept the liny second
story apartment of Mr. and Mrs.
Lloyd Snider. The father and two
sons were not in the building.
Killed were Snider's wife Vivian,
36; four daughters, Linda, 14,
Sheila, 11; Mona, 7, and Reta Jo,
5 months; and three sons, Mickey,
9, David, 3, and Danny, 2. Fire
men said they were suffocated.
The father and his oldest child
.Ronnie, 16, were visiting Mrs.
Snider's mother in Vienna. W. Va.,
not far from this small Washing
ton County community. Another
son, Darrell, 13, was in Camden
Clark Hospital in Parkersburg.
W. Va., across the Ohio River.
The grief-stricken father turned
his concern almost immediately to
his two remaining sons.
From his mother-in-law's home,
he told a reporter by telephone
lost night: "I don't know where
I'll be coins or where I'll be
staying. I've got lo find a place
where I can keep my boys.
Firemen, summoned by the
Sniders' neighbors, Mr. and Mrs.
Russell Kerns, found the victims'
bodies in two rooms of the apart
ment, above a vacant store,

Kerns told firemen he rushed

Snider and Ronnie returned
from their visit about 3 a.m. to
find the fire extinguished. In Sni
der's words: "The sheriff kept me
away ... He wouldn t let me get
in to see my wife ... He put me
in the car and drove me to the
