New Look Defense Has Simmer Army More Air Power

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of Defense Wilson gave Congress today some details of the military "new look" continued rapid buildup of air strength" and an army slimmed down by three of it's present 20 divisions.
 Wilson outlined these plans for the year starting next July 1 in testimony prepared for the Arm ed Services subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Commit tee, considering the military bud get.
 He said the new military plans, evolving from "the crash (emer- gency) program that was adopted following the beginning of hostil- ities in Korea" are "geared to inn proving our state of preparedness over an extended period of time" :" He also said:
 ''The military programs evolv- ing from the new look provide for the rapid integration of new weapons as they are proven and become available"
 And at another point he said:
 "Various new weapons have be- come available in increasing quantity and still newer ones are in the offing."
 He did not elaborate His com ment could have referred to both new applications of atomic weap- ons and to various types of guild ed missiles, in use or still in test

Cook Inlet Area Seen as Site of
 Uranium Deposits

ANCHORAGE, R-Within the last two years, three active speci- mems of uranium ore have turned up in the Cook Inlet area, Terri torial Mines Commissioner Paul Holdsworth disclosed Friday.
 Holdsworth said all three of the samples were carnotite, the most common uranium mineral-t h e same type found and being pro- duced in the Colorado Plateau area.
 According to Holdsworth, the source of the three specimens ap- peared to have been within 1O0 mile radius of this city.
 He said during an interview that the trace elements group of the US. Geological Survey worked for two seasons trying to run down the source of the mineral. They have not been successful, Holdsworth said.
 The Mining Commission ex- plained that the specimens were apparently old ones, passed from hand to hand, perhaps by natives and others who didn't realize what it was. While the three specimens could have come from the same piece, Holdsworth said, it is not believed they did.
 And, he cautioned, it is possible the samples were imported into the Cook Inlet area. but the com missioner added he didn't think so.
 Two recent strikes reported on Seward Peninsula looked good, ac- cording to the commissioner. But the extent of the find must be determined yet, he said, and no announcement will be made as to where the two are located, except the notation that the strikes were made in widely separated areas

Hawaii Statehood Would Aid Reds. Senator Believes

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Rob- ertson D-VaO said Friday the Hawaiian Islands should not be granted US statehood until "more definite progress has been made in dealing with Communist efforts to use Hawaii as a base for as saults on our democratic way of life"
 Robertson told the Senate that admitting Hawaii to the Union now would turn loose Communis- tic aliens in the Hawaiian Islands who can flood our West Coast and permeate the entire nation"
 The Virginian spoke out after the administration lost a fight against combining Hawaii with Alaska in a single statehood bill. The Senate voted 46-43 late Thursday against treating the two territories separately.
 Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican Senate leader, said he would continue to press never theleSs for vote on the issue. He conceded, however, that there's no percentage in trying to get an agreement until some of the speeches are out of the way"

 The senator said Warne is now in Iran, working for the FOA foreign Operations Administra- tion), and that he would be re- called to Washington to explain why he and Gruening decided against an investigation.
 "We're going to expose the whole matter as much as we can," Mo Carthy said. He stated the inquiry might get started within the next few days.

q EFFECT OF A JUDGMENT


A store sold John Doe. bache-
lor, a television set for $500 Doe
took delivery but failed to pay for
the set. Thereupon the store
brought an action for $500 in Supe-
rior Court and since Doe failed to
appear and defend the action a
Judgment was entered in the case of
$500 plus the court costs.
What was the effect of the judg
ment?
First of all it did not mean the
store automatically found its debt
paid The debt still remained I'M
paid, but the store had several rights
which it didn't have before it
brought the law suit
One of the rights which immedi-
ately would be felt by Doe would be
the imposition of a lien on his real
property that is, his house in this
case Once the judgment was en-
tered by the court the real property
Immediately was encountered by a
lien that in effect was the same as
mortgage. The store had The
right to sell the house under fore
closure proceeding to satisfy its
debt. Or, if it didn't foreclose the
lien would remain and would show
up if Doe tried to sell his property
to some one else. No purchaser or
dinarily would take real property a
gainst which there was an unsatis-
fled judgment
Another right the store would
have would be to seize personal pro-
perty-moveable property as distin-
guished from real propcrty-under
writ OF execution levied by the
sheriff Again the property could
be sold to satisfy the debt
The store also could have the
court issue writ of garnishment "a
gainst Does employer The emplo-
yer would be required to pay Does
wages, then owing. into court where
they would be used to satisfy the
debt.
If the store couldn't find any
property of Doe, yet believed he had
some which ne was concealing, it
could require Doe to be brought into
court where ne would be questioned
under oath regarding all financial
affairs past and present, which
might reveal what property he Own
ed that was subject to execution

Snow Surprises

An electronic computer at the
Weather Bureau, able to take a
couple Of million computations
IN its stride, probably would
have saved Washington from be-
ing surprised by 6h inches Of
snow last November 6.
The amount of snow and the
duration of the storm took the
Weather Bureau by surprise,
too. So the bureau investigated.
The result of submitting the
problem to an electronic COM
puter at Princeton University
was announced today by DR..
Francis w. Reichelderfer.
Weather Bureau chief. He said
the mathematical method would
have predicted the motion of
the November 6 storm more
correctly" and also the storm s
intensification.
. That storm. instead of going
out to sea as had been expected,
veered North and East. Snow,
but no accumulation Of snow
on the ground, had been pre-
dicted instead of the heavy
blanket.
The upshot of the faulty pre-
diction and the investigation
will be the installation of an
electronic computer here or at
Suitland. The Air Force, Navy
and Weather Bureau will get
together to install it.

Justice Department
Finds No Reason 10
Move Against Davies
BY the ASsociatsd Press

The Justice Department ap-
parently has decided not to sub
nit to a grand jury for possible
perjury indictment the case Of
career diplomat John Patton
Davies. jr., frequent target of
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin.
Department sources indicated
yesterday that there was insult
flcient evidence of perjury in
Mr.. Davies 1851 testimony be-
fore the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee to warrant grand
jury consideration.
The subcommittee asked the
department more than a year
ago to scan the Davies testimony
for possible perjury. Attorney
General Brownell said last week
that his department had COM
pleted combing the testimony
and was prepared to report to
the subcommittee on Mr.. Davies.
He refused to say what the study
disclosed. T.
Mccarthy Target.
Mr.. Davies loyalty has been
questioned frequently by Sena-
tor Mccarthy. An employe loyal
ty-security check under the Tru-
man administration gave him
a clean bill of health but Mr..
Davies recently was recalled from
his post at Lima, Peru, to un-
dergo a new check under the
Eisenhower employe security pro-
gram.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada, chairman of the In
ternal Security Subcommittee in
1851. and Senator Jenner. Re-
publican, of Indiana, the present
chairman, said last month that
the group may reopen the invest
igation of Mr.. Davies activities
Most of the inquiry centered
about Mr.. Davies World War II
record as a foreign service Off
Ger in China when the mainland
was under Nationalist control. ..
Employment Issue.
The perjury question was raised
In connection with Mr.. Davies
denial that as a member of the
State Departments policy plan
ming staff he ever recommended
the employment of certain in
dividuals by the Central INTEL
ligence Agency: He said he
had suggested some persons, al
legged to be Communists, might
be utilized in clandeStine OPP
Grafton" Mr.. Davies made a
sharp distinction between "uti-
lie" and employ and rely on"
Mr.. Davies said he could not
elaborate without disclosing top
Government secrets. Undersec-
retary of State Walter Bedell
Smith testified the operation Mr..
Davies proposed could have been
carried out without threat to
national security. -.
