3 Senator's See
Need for Unity
On Missiles
BY JACK BELL
Associated Press STAG Writer


Three Republican Senators
said today q Senate investiga-
ton into the missile program
indicates the need for greater
armed forces uniiication.
Senators Bridges OF New
Hampshire. Saltonstall Of Mas
sachusetts and Francis Case Of
South Dakota said In separate
interviews they believe inter-
service rivalry has contributed
to slowing down the develop
ment Of American missiles and
satellites.
Along the same line, Sena-
tor Knowland Of California
proposed during the week end
that q Defense Department CO.
ordinator be given authority to
transfer various funds, TO
channel them into those missile
fields that are most promising.
DR.. Vannevar Bush. former
head Of the once Of Scientific
Research and Development.
told the Senate Preparedness
Subcommittee last week the
missile program had been
hindered by damaging" and
sometimes disgraceful" COM
petition between the services.
1t. Gen. James Doolittle, re-
tired Air Force commander,
said the time may come when
q single man may have to make
the final military decisions. He
said the loyalty Of each mem
Der Of the Joint Chiefs OF STATS
TO his own individual service
often leaves them In disagree
ment over policies.
The subcommittee hearings
viii resume December Is.
Senator Bridges said he
doubts any move is in the offing
TO change the present system
~ the top. But he added he ex-
poets the subcommittee TO
make some recommendations
In its report to tighten up sery-
ice cooperation on the lower
levels.
Senator Saltonstall expressed
the belief that Secretary OF De-
tense McElroy could 20 a long
way toward eliminating service
rivalries without any revision
OF the unification law now on
the books.
Senator Case said he thinks
President Eisenhower ought to
appoint a commission Of ex-
perts TO explore the present
military Setup and recommend
changes which will centralize
authority over missile and
satellite development.
Senator Knowland said Mr..
Eisenhower apparently is the
only official who now has the
fund transfer powers the Sena-
tor is proposing for the missiles
co-ordinator.

Full Authority Needed

other" Senator Knowland said
He expressed hope the added
money can be supplied without
either higher taxes or deficit
financing. He added:
Il don't think the mere
shoveling In Of additional
funds is going to solve this
problem"

DR.. Ramo said in a radio-TV
interview (NBC-Meet the Press
that this country and Russia
are In q nip and tuck" race to
develop ballistic missiles. He
said secrecy on both sides
makes it impossible TO tell
which is ahead in specific
phases.
THE initial capabality is not
so important as the trend he
said. contendine that one might
be ahead at one stage only To
be surpassed by the other q

For the long pull, he said. the

should be doubled. He noted
that I'VE started late" anc
added I'VE need to do every.
thing possible to go faster"
DR.. Theodore Won Karmar
said in another TV interview
(CBS-Face the Nation) that he
did not consider the United
States significantly behind the
Russians in missile develop
ment. but said I'VE are perhaps
somewhat behind in reliability. =
DR.. Won Karman, senior mis-
sile adviser for the North At

said II lis certainly possible
that the Russians may be able
to knock out NATO bases with
