Civilian Agency Urged
Fort. S.MissiIe Program

Representative Arends. top
Republican on the House
Armed Services Committee,
said today he has asked Presi-
dent Eisenhower to put the
entire guided missile-satellite
development program in an in
dependent civilian agency.
The Illinois member, Repub-
lean whip in the House, urged
that the program be trans
ferred from the military serv-
ices to ENSURE complete CO.
ordination with complete elm
ination of such inter-service
rivalry as may exist"
MY proposal" he said. "also
would free our scientists and
technicians working on this
program from all military di-
rection and control. leaving
them entirely devoted in their
skills to the program as a
whole. rather than to some
specific military concept Of
some one service"
Besides recommending es-

pendent agency. Mr.. Arends

were being spent on a search
for new weapons and better
combat capabilities.
For example in fiscal 1855,
missiles took about 1914 per
cent of our procurement funds,
q total of $576. 400. 00o." he said.
I'VE estimate that by fiscal
1860 we will be investing as
much in missile systems as in
aircraft systems. This will
mean q program in excess Of
$2.5 billion on missile systems
In fiscal 1889"
Spending This Year
The Air Force estimated that
this year it would spend about
$1.e billion ir its missile pro-
grams.
In the speech, which was
read by 1t. Gen. Emmett
ODonnell. jr.. Air Force dep
uty chief Of staff for personnel.
Gen. White. said that in these
days Of great chronological ad-
vances his service recognized
the need to move fast but also
TO move positively and to
prove before we accept"
Il want to stress the word
prove" he said. ''When a weap-
on has been proven 1t will be
Incorporated into the Air Force
arsenal and trusted to guard
our security, but only then"
Apparently taking note Of re-
cent suggestions that the days
of the manned aircraft might
be nearing an end, the general
said that the Air Force Is not
afraid Of the future and added:
Eager Acceptance
IF future deterrents can be
achieved with manned
vehicles and push button sys-
TENS, the Air Force will eagerly
accept the fact and we are
working nightly toward that
end. The Air Force will well
come the time when it can ac-
complish its missions without

suggested that in the event Of
war. the President should make
the decision whether and when
to, use the interoontinental
guided missile. Such a de-
cision, he said, should not be
left to the Defense Department
or operational military COM
mands in the field. 1t involves
"a question Of high policy
which should be decided only at
the highest level" he said.
A third proposal offered by
Mr.. Arends was that the Presi-
dent set up a liaison committee
consisting of members of the
new independent civilian agency
and military officials concerned
with overall defense planning
and strategy. He explained that
such q committee would ENSURE
that the missile-satellite pro-
gram be realistic from a nation
al military defense standpoint
as well as realistic from q scien-
tific standpoint" He said this
would not conflict with the
work of DR.. James r. Killian as
the Presidents special aide.

Cabinet Science
Post Proposed

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. is R.-|
: Senator Humphrey. Democrat
Of Minnesota. said today legis-
lation will be introduced in the
next session Of Congress to
create a new Secretary of Sci
ence post in the cabinet.
The new secretary would
head a Department Of Science
and Technology, consolidating
major Government science and
basic research functions. Sem
ator Humphrey said.
The Minnesota Democrat, In
a talk prepared for delivery be-
fore the Engineers Club of Min
neapolis, said the legislation
now being prepared would en-
brace a "far-reaching program
for upgrading the role of SCI
ence in Government"
He said the proposed legis-
lation also would include eStab-
lishment of new standing COM
mittees on science and tech
nology in both houses of Con-
gress. establishment of a broad
system of science scholarships
and incentives to science in
structors and students. and es-
adjustment of a central clear
ing house of scientific informa-
ton.
He said a Secretary of Science
Is needed because it is apparent |
that we need more than just |
appointment of any new adj
visory committees of scientists. |
The task ahead is to con-
solidate them advisory COM
mittees) into a single depart
ment so they have a more eff

ment, at cabinet level"
Senator Humphrey said the |
legislative recommendations |
were the outgrowth of a study |

Gen. White said that the Air
Force is moving as fast as
technology and available re-
sources permit toward finding
a warning system against bal
listic missiles. He said that the
warning time to combat such a
missile attack could be Is
minutes or less. AS for warning
against jet bombers, current
radar systems should give two
to four hours Of warning, he
asserted.

sonnet assigned to work with

Other Reasons Cited
In addition to advances in
radar warning systems, these
other reasons were cited for
putting the GOO on a standby
basis:

2. The Air Forces obligation
