Senate Fight
Over Budget
Indicated
By ]. A. O'LEARY

Senator Chavez, Democrat Of
New Mexico, said today he be-
lieves the Senate should increase
funds for the Air Force in the
$36 billion defense budget just
passed by the House.
But the Senator was not ready
to indicate how much more he
would favor until hearings are
completed by the Defense APP
preparations Subcommittee. Of
which he is chairman. The hear
ings are in recess until Tuesday.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air
Force Chief of Staff, testified
yesterday the armed forces now
provided for in the pending bud
get will be sufficient for this year
to deter any potential aggressor!
Will Need More in 1857
Air Force Secretary Quarles
also testified that the budget as
| 1t stands is a sound, though aus
tere one. But he put the Sena-
tors on notice there will have to
be a substantial increase in Air
Force funds at the 1857 session
of Congress to continue to MAIN
tain the 137-wing Air Force ex-
pected to be in existence by next
year.
Gen. winnings statement was
directed at Senator Saltonstall,
Republican of Massachusetts,,
who had asked whether the
armed forces in the budget as
it now stands. including the Air
Force, would be a SUFFICIENT de-
terrent so that no nation will
dare to attack us?"
Gen. Twining at first said that
was a difficult question, but,
pressed for answer, added, II

be able to spend more than $36

amendment seeking to give the
Air Force another 81 billion for
the production of B-52 bombers.

committee described as minor"

only $187 million in the budget
figures.
Senators brought out in yes

was for nearly SIG billion for the

the spokesman said.
Major Political Issue
The incident has bloomed into
a major political issue for the
government of Prime Minister
Eden. Under pressure from La
borites, the Conservative gov
eminent has agreed to a two
hour debate on the incident next
Monday.
Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the
Labor Party, said today, 1T would
be the duty of any opposition in
Britain to probe such an extraor-
binary story of muddle and in
competence of a government de-
partment.
He made the comment when
asked for his reaction to charges
in the Moscow press that the
Labor Party was using the frog
man affair to beat a retreat from
an argument Labor leaders had
with Marshal Bulganin and Mr.
KruShchev during their visit
here over Imprisonment of Social
Democrats in Russia and the
satellite states.
"The Communists are furious
that we dared to raise the ques-
ton of Social Democrats impris-
oned in Communist-controlled
countries" he said. They now
try to make out that we are sorry
we did so and want to obscure
this matter by having a debate

been under way here for some
time. but scenes featuring Mr..
Calhern had not yet been shot.
Top Scene Stealer
The Brooklyn-bo Mr.. CAL
hern, veteran of 40 years on
Broadway, was considered one
of the top scene stealers in the
movies. Often he could play a
scene over his shoulder-with
most of his back to the audience
and steal it completely from
Hollywood's biggest stars.
He was 6 feet 2 inches tall,
but looked even more towering
because of a commanding stage
presence.

distinction of being the only

On Civil Rights

BY the Associated Press

Walter P. Reuther said today
that if the Democratic Party
tries to "straddle the civil rights
question" it does not merit "the
support of the American people.
In a prepared speech keynot.
ing the ninth annual convention
of Americans for Democratic Ac.
ltion, Mr.. Reuther said the Dem
,ocratic Party cannot compete
with the Eisenhower administra-
Ition in the middle of the road"
The ADA vice chairman and
president Of the United Auto
Workers, then declared:
THE Democrats can win but
they have no right to win unless
they offer the American people
the kind of clear choice that
would provide both the policies
programs, and leadership for ex-
tending the New Deal and 'Faii
Deal into the future"
Rauh'S Theme Similar
ADA National Chairman Jo-
seph L. Rauh, jr.. struck some
what the same theme in his pre-
pared report, saying the organ
ization must wage its biggest
battle against the middle of the
jroad-against the idea that there
is inherent virtue in compromis-
ing great issues "
The ADA called it's first pie
nary session to act on policy
planks formulated in late night
committee meetings. These in
cluded expected strong proposals
on civil rights and desegregatior
and policies toward Soviet Rus

annual banquet with Negro
leader Roy wilkins and Mrs
Eleanor Roosevelt. honorary
chairman. the main speakers
Mr.. wilkins is head of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
Warns of Straddling
Mr.. Reuther said the Demo-
cratic Party cannot attempt to
be all things to all men and
straddle the civil rights ques-
ton"
IF the Democratic Party at
tempts to compromise the civil
rights question in order to try
to hold all Of those incompatible
elements together" Mr.. Reuther
asserted, then it does not de-
serve the support of the Ameri-
can people"
He said a clear choice be-
tween Republican complacency'
and a Democratic program
I"geared to the needs and the
realities of tomorrow would do
much to bring about what he
said was needed realignment
in. our two-party system"
Nothing could be more tragic
for America and the world" the
labor leader said. than TO have
the 1856 election as a contest of
competing champions of COM
placency."
Strong Stand Urged
Mr.. Rauh, a Washington at
Itorney. called for a strong stand
against compromising issues.
I'VE believe that the interest
Of the country will be best served
by facing the problems honestly,
in their true dimensions, and
using the great resources Of the
country to meet them" he said.
Mr. Rauh said the ADA has
sometimes been 'crtical-even
scornful-of the platitudes. half
truths and sometimes plain
sleight OF hand tricks of the
Eisenhower administration and
its Democratic opposition" But,
he added, ut has always been
because we are so conscious Of
the gap between need and per-
Torrance in the country's inter-

and groaning over the price, he
really should be very happy. New
hats, are cheaper than medicine
and often more effective at keeping
a wife young and easy to live
with.
There has been, of course, a
trend away from the wearing of
hats. There was a time when a
lady didn't appear on the street
without one. Back in the days
when East Carolina College was
E.C.T.C., students were not allow
ed to leave the campus without a
hat. Whether they were trying to
make ladies of US or wanted a way
of identifying us was a question
never quite settled to our satisfac-
ton, but it did form habit. FASH
ion leaders say, of course, that no
women is well dressed without a
hat, but they have a hard time
selling that to the younger gener-
alton. It's a pretty sure thing,
though, that when designers come
up with startling styles for a sea-
son, women will wear them. They
just aren't going to pass up a
chance to attract attention and
break the monotony Of sensible
clothes.
