AS to Mr.. Carter's defective
vision, the company claims he was
able to judge distances beyond 100
feet adequately, and was COM

The Texas-San Marcos was sunk
in 30-foot waters near Tangier
Sound in 1911 and was subse-
quently used by the armed services
as a target and for experiments
on various types Of armor-pierc-

Eisenhower at any time may face
the same sort of political decisions
which resulted in Gen. Mac

said yesterday.
Mr.. Roberts, now dean of the

aggression on any scale would
leave Gen. Eisenhower only two
courses: So.
Turning to the North Atlantic
treaty organization for orders, or
making political decisions on his
own.

pended on the treaty group, Nj
Roberts said, a valuable military
advantage would be lost while the
IL member nations argued.
To avoid this situation, Mr..

should surrender their functions
of foreign policy and defense to
