his decision to delete a reference
to Gen. George G. Marshall from
a campaign speech he made in
Wisconsin in 1852. Gen. Mar

Senator Mccarthy. Reports at

SIS Navy Reservists Return

Fifty-five Naval Reservists
from the Washington area this
morning ended a 28-day cruise
aboard the destroyer escort
Keller as the 2,OOO-ton vessel
docked at the Naval Gun
Factory.
Toughened by the cruise which
took them to Cuba, the Canal
Zone and Colombia, the men
filed down the gangplank to the
music of Navy School of Music

waved handkerchiefs as their
men called out their names.
The majority of the men were
civilian sailors, trying out their
sea legs for the first time.

Urges Tax Bill Action.
Gen. Eisenhower said his tax
bill, now in conference between
the Senate and the House; will
help bring about an expanded
economy and make for more and
better jobs. He said he thought
the overall effect of the bill had
been lost sight of and urged
Congress to take prompt action
on the measure.
The President said that If the
Administration can get the eS-
sentialS of its farm program ap-
proved by Congress, all of the
United States will benefit. He
added that he thought it would
be a grave error if Congress
boosts the present rs per cent

dairy products to IS per cent as
proposed in the Senate's farm
bill.
Dairy supports were reduced
from 80 to Is per cent in April

Senate Boosts Funds
For JobIess Benefits
BY the Associated Press

The Senate last night passed,
1873, an unemployment COM
penSation financing bill which
will bring bigger Federal grants
to the States. It acted after
rejecting an amendment to
boost the jobless aid benefits to
individuals.
The measure now goes to con-
ference with the House, which
passed it in virtually the same
form last year. !
The proposal of Is Democrats
and Senator Morse, independent,
of Oregon to raise the Nation
wide scale of unemployment
compensation payments by an
estimated 40 per cent was voted
down, $3.50, after several hours
Of debate.
Backers of the amendment
contended that the benefits,
which are under control of the
States, were set in the 1930s and
are inadequate by present
standards.

Army Shows Rocket
With Atom Warhead
To Support Troops
By the Asseeiated Press

FORT BRAGG, N. c., July II.
The Army, accenting it's abil-
ity to lombard an enemy with
atomic explosives, has added. a
nuclear warhead rocket to its
long-range atomic cannon.
It showed some high-ranking
visitors from the Pentagon yes
terday how it could provide its
own "close support" of ground
troops by using the huge, new
Honest John" rocket and the
go millimeter cannon to pin
point a battlefield target up to
20 miles away.
The demonstration at this vast
Army base on the pine plains Of
the Carolinas appeared to be a
new emphasis on the Army's
growing independence Of tactical
air support of the United States
Air Force.
Army officials make a point Of
noting that their big rocket or
atomic cannon can fire atomic
or conventional explosives in
any kind of weather and in the
night as we'll as daylight.
Weather, they says, never
grounds the gun.
Net Snatched OFF Cannon.
With Deputy Secretary of De-
tense Anderson, Secretary Of the
Army Stevens and other Wash
ington officials looking on, the
Army rolled its big guns and
rockets into action.
1t fired off first conventional
105-mm. Howitzer, followed
with a 155, then snatched a
camouflage net from a con-
cealed 280-mn1. cannon and
pulled the lanyard. The shell,
which carried no explosive but
could have had a nuclear one,
went whooshing and rumbling
off to an impact ground almost
q score of miles away.
The finale was the Honest

party took cover in sand
bagged pit, the nerve-tingling
'.count down" came with fire"
substituted for the final zone"
A shattering bang came as the
fuel ignited and the three-ton
tube of steel and explosive
hurtled off at supersonic speed.
It was a long, lobbing shot at
target reported to have been
about 10 miles away. The for
ward observer reported, Range
OK, so yards left"
Fly 10 Miles by 'Copter.
From the cannonading, the
Washington officials flew by
helicopter to an airborne ma
newer area 10 miles distant.
There the Army, using a bat
talon of about 100 men from its
elite 82nd Airborne Division,
gave a demonstration of the art
and precision of vertical en-
velopment" of an enemy from
the air.
The 720 men, leaping from 18
big C119 Fairchild troop carry
ing planes of the Air Force,
were all on the ground within
two minutes. In four minutes
most of them had moved out of
the drop zone to clear it for the
following flight of 18 more
C119s, which spewed from their
yawning rear doors such things
as howitzers, jeeps, loads of
gasoline and ammunition to give
the paratroopers on the ground
artillery firepower and mobility.

Monument Placed
Where Rogers Died

FAIRBANKS, Alaska - A boy
hood friend of the late Will Rog-
ers, after hiking 800 miles, has
erected a monument at the spot
where the humorist died in a
plane crash beside the Artic Ocean
in 1885.
The sentimental and sturdy old
timer is Jesse Stubbs, 70, who set
out from Anchorage on his mission
last winter. He hiked with his dog
along the long highway to Fair
banks, vowing he would make the
trek all the way to Point Barrow.
Friends talked him out of it..
They provided an airplane ride
to the Arctic.
An airline crew was amazed to
find this week that Stubbs had

mortal at the spot where Rogers

TAR HEEL COTTON ACREAGE
SMALLEST IN EIGHTY YEARS

RALEIGH - Farmers in North
