Sen. Johnson Calls on Secty. Wilson To Stop Confusion Which Exists
 About National Defense Program

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Lyn- don B. Johnson D-Tex) called on Secretary of Defense Wilson today to "Step in and stop the confusion" he said exists about the national defense program.
 The Senate Democratic leader said congressional committees are going to try to find out the true story" of whether Russia is threat ening to gain air superiority over the United States.
 In the meantime, he said Will son has the responsibility for see ing to it that "the generals and the secretaries get together so that the right hand knows what the left is doing"
 "The people and Congress don't know who to pay attention to now" he said. There has been new rash of confusing state ments and there should be a clar- ification as to what is the true story"
 The magazine Aviation Week, joining in a controversy which has ragged during the last week, said yesterday that Russian air developments have shocked "even the top level and the most know1- edgeable military aviation lead CTS in the Pentagon."
 1t criticized what it, said ''ap- pears to be deliberate deception practiced against them Nhe Am erican people, by some of the highest civilian officials in their government"
 A brief Pentagon report on Rus sian air developments 10 days ago led Sen. Symington to suggest last Tuesday that Russia may have gained air superiority over the west. President Eisenhower told his news conference Wednesday such a statement "is just not true"

WINDSOR, England, R-Am- erican evangelist Billy Graham's prestige rose to new heights in Britain today following his first sermon for Queen Elizabeth and the royal family.

 The Queen and the Duke drove over from nearby Windsor Castle for the private service, which was attended also by the Queen moth CT and Princess Margaret. It was Graham's first meeting with the monarch.

 Queen Elizabeth is titular head of the Church of England and s'defender of the faith" Although her church has never officially endorsed Graham's crusadeS, ii has given them strong support.

National Guard Pilot Outraces Sun In Sabre Jet

LOS ANGELES, R R- The flier who won his race with the sun from coast to coast and back does nit think his record with last long.
 After all, the Sabre jet is six years old,' said 1st It. John M. Conroy of the California Air National Guard. There are faster fighters"
 On Saturday, Armed Forces Day, and the 18th anniversary of Lindbergh's landing in Paris, Conroy ate breakfast in Los An geles, lunch in New York and dinner in Los Angeles again.
 He flew the Sabre, nicknamed the California Boomerang" about 5.085 miles in II hours, 26 min utes and B seconds including the time for quick turn-around, re- fueling stops and lunch in New York. That averaged about 445 miles per hour
 Conroy's eaSt-to-West flight in 5 hours 27 minutes 37 seconds shaved more than an hour off Paul Mantz' 1947 mark of 7:O0:O4 His west-east leg, however, was slower than the 3:46:33 mark set by Air Force It. Col. Robert D. Scott last March 10 in an F-84-F.
 The lieutenant made the flight he said, to demonstrate the com bat potentiality of National Guard planes, pilot and personnel.
 Now the decorated World War II bomber pilot goes back to building swimming pools, his civilian job, since flying is most ly for the weekends.
 ''The worst point was when I took off from Mitchell Field in New York on the return home" he said. T thought I might have bitten off more than I could chew"
 Conroy did his own navigating on the trip east but depended on the Air Force radar network for courses going home.

Further Safeguards For Salk Vaccine
 Are Contemplated

WASHINGTON, R-A possible further showdown of the mass antipolio inoculation of school children loomed Saturday as the government reportedly contem- plated further tightening of safe ty standards for the Salk vaccine.
 Meanwhile, the government - on advice of a panel of scientists decided to continue the dosage and vaccination procedure worked out in last years field trials of the polio preventative
 Because of the vaccine scarcity, there had been discussion of pos sibly reducing the dosage-now l cubic centimeter per shot - and changing the method of injection to spread supplies.
 The government also decided against curtailing inoculations during the summer height of the polio season. Some doctors had voiced concern lest administra- ton of the vaccine during such a period might provoke the dis ease.
 Resumption of vaccine ship ments after one safety recheck halt had been hoped for this week.

at any picnic.
BY VIOLET FAULKNER

It's surprising what variety
one can get with a pound or
two of ground beef. That's
the reason hamburger is such
a popular. fast-selling item at
the meat counters.
You can do so many things
with ground beef dress it
up or dress it down add
spices, herbs. fruit or sauces.
Cook it in loaf shape, rings,
patties, pies, ct cetera. It's
as versatile as the little black
dress"
Look at the newest version
of them all, surprise meat
balls, with an unexpected
bonus hidden within the meat.
It's easy as A-B-C to shape the
mixture around the fruit. and
the balls stay perfectly round
through the browning. They
look like ordinary meat balls
but when you cut into them
you discover the nugget of
fruit. a cooked prune. pitted
and stuffed with a bit of pine
apple. Surprises are fun, espe-
cially when they taste as good
as these.
With the picnic season COM
ing on, our thoughts turn
more and more to outdoor eat
ing and easy-to-flx meals.
What could be better to take
along in the picnic basket than
husky he man sandwiches
made of thick slices of this
meat and cheese loaf?
Besides the ground beef and
diced cheese in the loaf. there's
zesty green pepper and onion
to add to the goodness. And
the undiluted evaporated milk
used in the loaf keeps it moist
even when cold. a definite ad-
vantage in making the best OF
sandwiches. You can add a
crisp lettuce leaf and a favor
ite pickle if you like, but actu-
ally the loaf'is f1avorful enough
without it.
There's so much interest in
italian cookery these days

mons story on the subject in
