they told economy minded

was duplication and therefore
wasteful."
The companies, said Col.

ants on the Air Force missile
program.
They told the Defense De-
partment We didn't need mis-
siles over 200-mile range-that
support of our troops would be
done by the Air Force tactical
methods. The truth was that
Jupiter was far ahead Of Thor,
that our operation was success
full and cheaper, that the Air
Force had shown in two wars
that they couldn't deliver eff
fective. safe, tactical support
Of ground troops"
The AIR Force did "a yeo-
mans job among congressman
and the Pentagon" to stifle the
successful Army missile pro-
gram. Col. Nickerson charged.
The day after Mr.. Wilson or
dered the Army to abandon the
IRBM TO the Air Force, Doug
las, Ramo- Woodbridge and other
Air Force contractors were
calling up DR.. Won Braun and
the other scientists offering
them much larger salaries to
leave the sinking ship.
Blame Divided
Col. Nickerson divided the
blame between "Air Force gen.
erals and civilian heads who
have convinced the Pentagon
to continually slice the Army
budget
IF these men had their way,
there would be no Corporal or
Redstone ready to support our
allies In Western Europe. And
II the Won Braun team had
been given top priority a few
years ago. we would probably
have the ICBM today.

In advance Of the session,
Mr.. Pineau was reported cool

about one-third the normal
amount Of blood going to the
brain. and there was no apparent
damage.
Larger Hole ReOpened
After an hour and IS minutes
the surgeon reopened the larger,
dollar-sized hole in a hope that
this would restore the beat. The
heart began looking more pink
but still did not beat. He con-
tinued maSSaging.
Finally the left side Of the
heart began beating normally.
Then the entire heart began an
other rhythm. ventricular tachy-
cardia. a precursor of normal
beat. The surgical team watched
for another hour as the heart
slowly resumed a normal beat.
Then the incision was closed.
The lack of brain damage was
attributed by the surgeon to
the constant massaging and the
fact that Mrs. Hull had been
refrigerated to a temperature
of 81.5 degrees to slow her cir
culation.

that Mr.. Pleven does not intend
to form a cabinet himself. They
stressed that he is simply acting
as agent for President Rene Coty
in sounding out political opinion
on who and what can put a
new cabinet together. -
Draft" Of Pleven Seen
This position could. however,
be only a maneuver to set the
stage for q draft" of Mr..
Pleven to succeed Premier Guy
Mollet as chief of government.
Mr.. Mollet resigned Tuesday
might when Parliament rejected
his tax proposals to pay for
Frances campaign against the
rebels in Algeria.
One source said Mr.. Pleven
intends to recommend. in a re-
port to Mr.. Coty next Wednes-
day. a "round-table conference"
of the chiefs Of the national"
parties to hammer out a COM
mon basic program. In France
the adjective national" is used
to exclude the Communists and
the extreme right-wing Pouja-
dists.
Accord Sought
Such a meeting would be
expected to draw up a joint posi-
ton on Algeria. European uni
fication. taxation. overseas terri
tories and constitutional reform.
Agreement on these essentials.
