LOS ANGELES, May 10
Having passed the supposedly
unreachable 60-foot mark in the
Shotput with a breath taking
heave of so feet 5K inches, Parry

Relays next Saturday "going for
81 feet"
Asked what the ultimate might
be, the handsome Los Angeles
giant said after officially exceed
ing the 60-foot distance twice
Saturday:
Eventually we'll be doing IS
feet"
'O'Brien has made a science
OF his speciality. He follows a
meticulous training schedule,
even practicing sometimes before
a mirror. AS a sophomore at the
University of Southern Cali
fornia in 1851 he altered the
standard shot-putting style by
facing to the rear as he started
his motion and beginning from a
deeper crouch than was in style.
The 1852 Olympic champion
actually broke his own world
record three times in a special
open shot-put event held in con-
junction with the Southern Cali
fornia- -UCLA track meet. Meet
officials said all specifications
had been met and acceptance of
the put as a new record will be
sought.
It was a thrilling week for
track and field fans everywhere

Eisenhower Will
Grant Military Aid
To Pakistan

WASHINGTON, Up President
Eisenhower announced Thursday
he will grant military aid to PAX
istan to help secure stability and
strength" in the Middle East.
The President made known this
decision in a formal statement. At
the same time the White House
made public a letter to Prime
Minister Nehru of India assuring
him that "tfis step does not in
any way affect the friendship we
feel for India
The decision to give aid to PAX
iStan was taken under authority
granted by the Foreign Aid Law
and requires no further Congress
sional sanction.
Indian leaders had been highly
critical of the idea, previously
discussed, Of giving military aid
to their neighbor One obvious
reason was the possibility that it
would tip the scales in that part
of Asia to midas disadvantage
The next step will be to send a
mission to Pakistan to determine
the exact needs of that country.
This will be done shortly, the
White House said.

Southern Opponent Of Statehood
Predicts Strong Move To Give
Commonwealth Status to Territories

WASHINGTON, PA leading
southern opponent Of statehood
for either Alaska or Hawaii pre-
diets a strong move to give the
two territories commonwealth sta
tus instead Of statehood.
Sen. Smathers D-Fla) disclosed
the plan yesterday during a news
conference at which he outlined
prospective developments for
statehood debate expected in the
Senate next week.
He denied southern opponents
to statehood have any intention
to filibuster but predicted a week
of debate would precede the first
test vote on the legislation.
He said he thought the initial
test would come on an amend
ment to combine Alaska with the
Hawaii bill and predicted "close
to half the Senate membership
would support such an amend
ment.
Regardless of the outcome of
this vote, however, he indicated
an amendment would be offered
to give either one or both territor-
les commonwealth status.
Under such status, Smathers
said, residents would pay lower
taxes and still have common citi-
zenship and all other benefits Of a
citizen except voting representa-
tom in the House and Senate.
He read from a news story in
which the governor of Puerto Rico
rejected the idea Of statehood for
the island in favor Of continuing
its commonwealth status.
Under commonwealth status,
Smathers said, citizens pay feder-
al taxes, but these are returned to
the commonwealth, making it
possible for the local government
to reduce local income and excise
taxes.

Refuses To Admit He
'Browbeat' Army Witnesses AS
Stevens Gets Eisenhower Backing

, WASHINGTON, R-There was
no peace today between Secretary
Of the Army Robert 7. Stevens
and Sen Mccarthy R-Wis), de-
spite a ''peace pact" heralded as
settling their official differences
on questioning Army personnel.
Cancellation efforts foundered
yesterday when Stevens issued a
definition Of his position, backed
by President Eisenhower, and Nc
Carthy retorted that it contained
completely false statement.
Stevens statement was inten-
ded (a) to counter the practically
universal impression that he had
yielded to Mccarthy on the issue
of the Senator's handling of Army
officer witnesses, and CD to assure
any military personnel interroga-
ted In the future Of protection
against what Stevens had termed
"abuse."
Stevens said he was confident
there would be no such treatment
in the future because Of "assur-
ances which I have received from
members" Of the Senate Investi-
cations subcommittee Mccarthy
heads.
That was the statement McCar-
thy Immediately termed "com-
pletely false"
The Senator, who a moment be
fore had been speaking with
newsmen in complimentary terms
of Stevens, said, absolutely no
concession was made that any
witness was abused"
To promise they would not be
abused in the future, he went on,
would be admitting they had been
abused in the past.
James c. Hagerty, the Presi-
dents press secretary, said Eisen-
hover approved and endorsed 100
percent the statement in which
Stevens spoke of the assurances
and also said:
Il shall never accede to the alb
use of Army personnel under any
circumstances, including commit
tee hearings. l shall never accede
to their being brow-beaten or hu-
inflated. I do not intend to allow
them to be deprived of the long
established Practice that they
have the adv 0f counsel when
the matter ullzr consideration is
one of essential interest to me as
secretary, as was the case with
Gen. Zwicker."
Thus the Army secretary re-
verted to the episode which
plunged his row with Mccarthy
to its depth of Bitterness SEN
ator's questioning of Brig. Gen.
Ralph ZWicker, accompanied by
such remarks as one that Zwicker
was unfit" to wear his uniform.
