On Defense Bill in Senate

President Eisenhower's de-
tense program came under at.
tack in the Senate today by some
Democrats who want to cancel
out manpower cuts proposed By
the administration and to ster
up jet aircraft production.
A note of bitterness was in
jected into the attack by a
speech of Senator Symington,
Democrat, of Missouri, released
in advance of today's session.
The Senator, former Secre-
tary Of the Air Force, was
sharly critical of advice the
President, then a five-star gen.
eral, gave Congress prior to the
Korean war. He charged that

vinson Submits
Reserves Bill
Measure Eliminates
Controversial Points
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

A military manpower reserve.
bill. minus practically all of the
controversial provisions which
stalled a similar measure earlier
was introduced in the House
today by Armed Services Com
mittee Chairman Vinson.
One of the major changes
would provide that no reservist
could be compelled to go into the
National Guard for his '.ready
reserve" training. This apparent
ly was designed to overcome the
amendment which stymie d
House action on the earlier bill
last month.
That amendment, sponsored
by Representative Powell, Demo-
crat. of New York, was intended
to bar assignment of reservists
to National Guard units where
racial segregation was practiced,
There was no immediate indica-
tion whether the change would
be acceptable to Mr.. Powell.
6-Month Plan Dropped
Another change in the new
version would do away with the
previous provision permitting
some youths to volunteer for six
months of active training before
going into the ready reserve for
several years. The total military
obligation for all men under the
reserve program would be re-
duced from eight to six years.
Mr.. Vinson disclosed to re-
porters that he had not con-
suited President Eisenhower or
the Defense Department about
the revamped plan. He pre-
dicted that his committee would
report it out tomorrow. He said
he certainly hopes" Congress
will approve it and that he be-
lieves its provisions will be salts
factory to the administration.
President Eisenhower on sew
eral recent occasions has urged
Congress to enact a national re-
serve plan which he described as
absolutely essential to the Sc
curity of the country. The
House took up the original bill
several weeks ago, but ran into a
snag when Mr.. Powell's amend
ment was tentatively adopted.
Rather than risk defeat of the
bill on a final roll call, Mr.. Vim
son moved that the House defer
consideration of the measure. 7

Ballistics Farley or
Prince Georges County and
Washington police working on
the case had planned to confer
this morning with FBI ballistics
experts, but the meeting was
postponed for q while because Of
what one police officer described
as temporary complications"
Detectives want the FBI ex-
pertS to examine the .22-caliber
slugs recovered from the bodies
and at the scene in an effort to
establish more definitely the
weapons make.
For several days police had
theorized that the weapon was
q .22-caliber Marlin repeating or
semiautomatic rifle.
One reason for the change in
theory about the murder weap-
on is that a firearms expert
pointed out to police that the
minute rif1ing marks apparently
found on the slugs do not stem
from a recent development in
firearms manufacture.
The rifling marks on bullets
are caused by spiraling grooves
inside the barrels of weapons.
The grooves are designed to
make the bullets spin as they
leave the barrel.
'Microgroove" Rifling
About two years ago, the Mar
lin firm began producing a semi
automatic rifle with micro
groove" rifling. The type of
.ifling marks on the slugs re-
covered led police to theorize
hat a Marlin .22-caliber rifle
If that type had been used.
The firearms expert, however,
pointed out that a similar type
If rifiing had been used for
several years by some rifle
makers.
The caliber Of the weapon used
n the slayings also is believed
o be presenting difficulties in
racing the weaper, since 90
'aliber bullets normally are
ashioned of softer lead than
theirs Of larger caliber. This in
reases the possibility of de-

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, June
20 (P.-Argentine refugees here
said today sources in Buenos
Aires had told them by telephone
that the army Is getting ready
to set up a three-man junta, in
cluding President Peron, to rule
Argentina.
The informants, whose report
could not be confirmed, said the

army was negotiating with Gen.
Peron and navy leaders to set
up the triumvirate. They said
it would also include the coun-
try's army minister and new
armed forces commander in
chief, Gen. Franklin Lucero, and
Rear Admiral Alberto Teisaire,
the vice president.
Trying to Settle Feud
The informants said the ne
gotiations also dealt with how to
divide up the rule and how to
settle Gen. Peron's seven-rhonth-
old feud with the Catholic
Church, which finally erupted in
to last Thursdays brief revolt
against his government.
The Associated Press Bureau
in Buenos Aires, contacted by
telephone early today, said no
major change was expected in
the next few hours. It added
there were "lots of rumors float
ing around" All outgoing tele-
phone and cable traffic from
Buenos Aires had been subject
to censorship since the revolt.
Army Dominance Seen
Exile circles, who had held
high hopes of ousting Gen.
Peron in the revolt. have since
been insisting that the army
and Gen. Lucero have super
seded the President. They point
ed out that whereas Gen. Peron
has loudly praised the army
for crushing the revolt, he has
made no mention of the workers
his political mainstay-or his
own Peronista Party as playing |
a part in the government vic
tory.
This, they said, was sufficient
evidence that the army was in
command.
The Argentine government
has placed full blame for the
revolt on the navy, but rebels
here said some army
units had pledged to come out /
against Gen. Peron.

Because there can be no GER

Radford said. is it imperative"
that the United States have a
stable military program. Big
upswings or downswings in the
force levels of the armed forces
''have disastrous effects upon
our defense planning" he said.
There seems little reason to
doubt the magnitude Of Com
munist military capabilities in
terms Of manpower, weapons and
fighting qualities" Admiral Rad
ford said. He commented that
the Russians particularly have
been making great strides in
the development of their air
forces and nuclear weapons.

BARLEY FOR ILLNESS

KANKAKEE, Ill. - up = Farm
ers hereabouts are keeping their
eyes on the fall-seeded barley field
of Henry Classen for it may prove
to be a profitable substitute for
oats as crop.
Known in New York state as
Hudson barley. it is new winter
variety developed at Ithaca by the
Cornell University Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station in cooperation
with the u. S. Department of Agri-
culture
In its home state, yields have av-
eraged 54.6 bushels an acre dur
ing the years 1947 to 1858. The test
weight is 49.4 pounds a bushel.
1t is believed the new variety of
barley is especially adaptable to
the Illinois climate because Clas-
sens field showed very. little win
ter kill.
