Resolution
On NATO
Proposed

KANSAS CITY. May Is up.
The General Federation of
Women's Clubs opened its 65th
annual convention today and
before the $500 delegates was
an urgent plea to take action
strongly supporting the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
and the Crusade for Freedom.
Mrs. Horace B. Ritchie of
Athens, Ga. chairman of the
federation's Policy Committee,
asked for consideration of be-
lated resolutions on NATO and
the Crusade for Freedom.
They were not among '13
statements of policy which the
committee decided in February
to lay before the convention,
Mrs. Ritchie explained. Since
then, she pointed out, Secre-
tary of State Dulles has called
for action to strengthen and
broaden NATO.
1.-THE federation has been on
record for a number of years
in support of NATO," Mrs.
Richie told a briefing session
for delegates.
Treaty in Distress
But now the alliance is
disintegrating and the NATO
Treaty is in dire distress.
'NATO must remain active
and we should give it our full
support"
The resolutions will come
before the convention tomor-
row and Thursday if Mrs.
Ritchie wins permission for
their consideration.
About 1000 of the delegates
were welcomed formally to
Kansas City last night by 1t.
Gov. James T. Blair, jr., of
Missouri and Charles C. Shafer,
jr., a city councilman. The
Missouri Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs presented a musi-
cal program for the visitors
and held a reception in honor
of Mrs. Theodore S. Chap
man, president of the Gen.
eral Federation.
Reports Scheduled
Today's opening program
included reports by officers
and committees and a panel
discussion on legislation now
before Congress.
The days speakers included

| of Washington, D. c., chaplain
of the United States Senate:
DR.. William c. Menninger, Sec
rotary of the Menninger Foun-
dalton for the Training of
Psychiatrists, and DR.. Thomas
v. Smith. professor of citizen
ship and philosophy at SYRIA
cuse University.
Members of Junior clubs of
the federation were told yes
terday to never fear criti-
cism," of their work.
The advice came from Mrs.
Nunley Ne degar, Elkins,
w. Va. cochairman of the
International Affairs Depart
ment, who spoke at a session
covering reports of the clubs
for the past two years.
Don't Fear Critics
Mrs. Nedegar said club

ways will be subjected to
criticism, good natured OF
otherwise.

The Summit Park area. in the

Marshall tell it.
In those days there were few
paved streets. no mail delivery,
no sewers and few street lights

only house in sight, and there
were fields with wild flowers and

But Summit Park residents
wanted city services extended to
the area and I'VE wanted a citi-

says Mrs. Marshall.
When the citizens group was
organized in 1888. most of the
area residents were young peo-

the meetings, Mrs. Marshall, one
of the chief founders of the

zens' association, with children
from 5 and 6 years old on up

that pricing Misrepresentation

ton I have attached to the
statement a table showing the
obligations for direct costs only
included in research and devel-
opment appropriations for the
fiscal years 1947 through 1857.
(Tables appear on this page
Ed These figures show con-
tinuing increase in the direct
research and development obli-
cations in the four fiscal years
1854 through 1857. and further
show that for fiscal year 1857
the amount of direct obligation
will be more than 2la times the
amount obligated in fiscal years
1949 and 1850.
If we examine the overall
picture and include all identifi-
able programs for research, de-
velopment. test, and evaluation
purposes from the procurement.
construction, and other accounts
as well as research and develop
ment. we find there is an even
greater rate of increase for the
three fiscal years 1955-1957. In
fiscal year 1857, it is estimated
that the department will pro-
gram approximately $50 billion
compared to $3.4 billion in fiscal
year 1865 in the process of de-
veloping and testing new weap-
onS and technology. This is
exclusive of the appropriations
for proven weapons for modern
ization of combat units.
A great deal has been said
about our personnel problems

But not enough has been said
about the positive things that
have been done nor the progress
that has been made toward i'm
proving the situation.
The President, the Depart
ment Of Defense. and the Con-
gress have recognized the need
for improving the incentives of
a military career. A positive
action program was launched in
1854 which had the two-fold
purpose of restoring a relative
measure of equality in pay and
of rebuilding and strengthening
the structure of traditional mill
tary benefits.
This program has progressed
exceptionally well. Beginning
with the Re-enlistment Bonus
Act of 1854. a number of impor-
tant rsonnel improvement
measures have been proposed
by the Department of Defense
and enacted by the Congress. F.. +.
This career incentive program,
together with internal actions by
all services. has produced re-
suits. The overall re-enlist-
