Reaction Of Congress
On UNIT Seen Keyed
To Specific Proposals
BY the'Asseeiated Press

Chairman Cole of the Joint
Congressional Atomic Energy
Committee said today President
Eisenhower chose an "appropri-
ate" time to order a review OF
the feasibility Of universal mill
'itary training.
But the Congressman added
that he believes the attitude OF
Congress toward setting up a
UNIT program would be deter
mined largely by the nature of
the specific recommendations
Gen. Eisenhower might make.
The President yesterday ord
cred the National Security
Training Commission to under
take a new study of UNIT to see
if it is practicable now.
After strong debate during the
last congressional session a Pen
tagon plan to start a limited
UNIT program was defeated.

Wilson and Aides
Outline Ways 70 Gain
Power and Economy
By the Asseeiessd Press.

QUANTICO MARINE BASE,
Va, July 24.-The Pentagon's
civilian directorate set out today
to tell the economy-hit armed
forces how I'VE can get more
military strength for the effort
we make and the dollars we
spend"
Secretary of Defense Wilson
made that statement and en-
phaSized it in an address open
ing a four-day conference of
about 100 civilian and uniformed
officials Of the defense estab-
lishment at this big Marine base.
His comment, in an address
last night, came by coincidence
a few hours after the Senate had
acted on the military budget
which Mr.. Wilson had pared SIS
billion below the Truman adj
ministration recommendation.
Air Generals Listen.
His listeners included a covey
Of Air Force generals whose
branch of the service bore the
brunt Of the Wilson-ordered
slash.
Mr.. Wilson led off at the first
business session today with a
scheduled talk to explain the
broad detectives of his program
for national defense. This was
to be followed with a discussion
by Deputy Secretary Roger M.
Kyes, whose major interest is in
getting the new Defense Depart
ment reorganization program
into operation.
The latter half of the morning
schedule was turned over to the
Army, with Secretary of the
Army Robert T. Stevens leading
the list of speakers.
Sees Age of Peril.
While Mr.. Wilson plugged hard
at the idea of more defense for
less money. He also said last
night:
Unfortunately, we are living
in an age of peril because an
other nation with hundreds of
millions of people and great re-
sources is under the domination
of dictators whose spiritual, po-
litical and economic beliefs are
contrary to our own.
1T should be clear to all of us
that. so long as we face such a
situation in the world, we must
be strong. We must for an in
definite period into the future
cultivate and promote all the ele-
mentS of our national strength"
Among officials of other Gov
eminent agencies Mr.. Wilson in
vited to the conference was Lewis
Strauss. chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission. Mr.. Wilson
included improved working re-
lations with Acc" in list of
projects in which he said he was
especially interested.

Military VIPs Get Together
In a Convention ype Mood

with each other and each others
ideas.
At their first meeting, the
100-odd VIPs had still not COM
pletely shaken off the dust of
Pentagon formality. They hur-
ried past waiting newsmen and
photographers into the elegant
bachelor officers quarters that
would be their home for the
duration Of the meeting.
The first busload seemed over
loaded with Army generals with
a few civilians thrown In. The
next leaned heavily to the Air
Force.

public relations man. Arrange

NOtables Check In.
While newsmen looked on
helplessly, the joint chiefs Gold
and new), various Assistant and
Under Secretaries of Defense,
and squads of lesser notables,
dismounted and scurried into
the building. Few paused long
enough to have their pictures
snapped.
Finally, Mr.. Wilson himself
showed up and offered to try
and lure some of his guests back
outside. He pointed out, how
ever. that they were independ-
ent people with strong ideas

QUANTTCO MARINE BASE
Va, July 24.-According to the
sign or the bus, the right name
was "SECON." The public rela-
tons man spelled it out as the
"secretary's conference" Less
reverent wags around the Pent-
agon referred to it as a General
Motors sales executive conven-
ton.
Whatever it was, it brought
the starchy MP to his snappiest
salute as the bus began to dis
gorge its cargo of military talent
in front of Harry Lee Hall here
yesterday.
The small crowd on hand to

brass was not disappointed at
the assembled array Of admirals
and generals, all wearing their
convention-type name tags like
an added decoration under the
ribbons. AS a lonely colonel dis
mounted, struggling his eagles
alphabetically, a voice suggested :
Must be somebody's private
secretary"
There was little. however. of
the relaxed, informal spirit
which Mr.. Wilson had stressed
in explaining the point Of his
conference" Presumably, that
would come later as the con-
ferees settled down to the pro-

Aug. | Adjournment
Hope Is Revived by
Refugee Bill Gains

A prediction by Acting Ma
jority Leader Knowland that the
Senate may pass the Presidents
refugee immigration bill in one
day next week caused a revival
today Of hope for adjournment
Of Congress by August /.
Although administration lead
ers have not accepted the OPP
positions new compromise offer
Of $4,000 as the number of adj
ditional immigrants to be adj
mitted in the next three years,
there was an air of optimism
around the Senate that the OPP
posing factions will not be too
far apart when the bill is taken
up for debate Monday.
AS matters stand now, the
House Judiciary Committee has
approved the Presidents request
for 100000. while the Senate
committee has cut it to 220, 900.
There was a well-founded report
today that the Senate may wind
up with 100000 in its bill.
Mail Rate Is Block.
Once the immigration bill is
out Of the way, only the postal
rate increase measure will re-
main as a threat to adjournment
next week.
Although there are many other
measures still half completed, in
Guiding the appropriation bills,
most of them are in the con-
ference stage. where agreements
usually come thick and fast on
the last few days of a session.
The postal rate bill, however,
could cause trouble if the Presi-
dents lieutenants try to force it
through. The Senate Post Office
Committee still is marking time,
waiting to see what the House
will do before it begins meeting
on the question.
Amendments Accepted.
One sign that leaders are try
ing to iron out lthe controversy
over the immigration bill came
yesterday when the Senate Judi
ciary Committee authorized the
acceptance of five more amend
ments drafted by Senator Nc
Carran, Democrat, Of Nevada,
leader of the opposition. Most of
them were technical changes de-
signed to clarity details.
The most important was in

from which immigrants now are
permitted to come, should be-
come Communist territory at a
later date. there would be no
more migration from that area
under this bill.

Bio Brothers. S
Corporation Still
Very Much Alive
BY L. Is. NELSON

To the readers of the Arizona
Sun L8st week an article ap-
pearedz in the Arizona Leader, a
weekly publication, stating that
the Big Brother, Corporation has
crashed" That statement was
very misleading, and very much
unture. 1T is true that there was
an unpaid bill in the amount of
S72J.47 which the Karlson Machine
works held against the property.
This bill was made; back iii 1916,
or 1947, which will be settled. Any
che who thinks he is going to fall
into possession of that piece Of
property for that amount of mon
ey, has another big thought lcom-
ing The amount of money pat up
by the highest bidder is waiting for
the gentleman who put it up.
When the Big Brother Laundry
went out of business a few years
against the property for $t,455.00.
I took the money from my own
pockets and paid it off. The rent
from the building has paid all Of
that back except $38.O0, including
the taxes each year up to 1858.
For two years, the Big Broth
ars laundry furnished employment
for eleven people with a pay roll
If over $16OO.O0 per month. am
proud of the effort made by twelve
men who established this business
20 create employment for our own
oeople. am proud to acknowledge
hat l, put down the first hundred
: dollars to start the business. I have
always believe that if we would
hoOl the amount of money that we
waste each year in society for good
times, we could make our own race
little more independent.
The shortest route to full citi-
zenship for any race, is independ-
ence. AS long as our people must
depend absolutely upon the other
mans job for existance, we may as
well prepare ourselves to receive
the short end Of the social, and
economic stick. With things on the
decline as they are today, wouldn't
it be great if we had something
which would give employment to
fifteen or twenty of our people?
The old saying is still true--''you
do not miss the water until your
well runs dry"
No, the Big Brother laundry is
still very much alive as far as the
ownership is concerned.

Committee today approved three

under the North Atlantic Treaty.
The agreements also define the

proval an understanding that
nothing in these agreements will

country would be deemed pre-
judicial to its safety.
