as something special also was

pedalled by incumbent Of

that Congress may take a

less concerned about this.

Secretary of Defense and
Mrs. Charles E. Wilson both
denied it was their swan
song, but most of the evidence
pointed the other way last
night at the dinner the Will
sons gave for President and
Mrs. Eisenhower.
The dinner was given in
Secretary Wilson's private
dining room at the Pentagon.
This in itself was unusual.
While these quarters are
available for the Secretary of
Defense and are used with
fair frequency at lunch time,
they are used much less
frequently in the evening,
and in the past the Wilson's
always entertained the Eli
senhowers in their Sheridan
Park apartment.
There also was the fact
that Mrs. Wilson came all
the way back from the Will
sons summer home in north
ern Michigan for this dinner
for the EiSenhowers and the
Cabinet. and for a similar
dinner to be given tomorrow
for top Pentagon associates

And any belief that Senate
wives had deserted Washing

price for the reactor BY 50 mill
lion.
Mr.. Holifield said this would
make the reactor cost about
So million instead of the pre-
viously agreed IS million. Acc
would pay for it.
Roy Snapp, q company vice
president, said he would file q
statement later giving the COM
pany's reasons for the price
increase.
Kenneth FieBs. the COM
missions general manager,
said that in view Of the UNI
expected development Acc
would have to restudy the
matter. But he emphasized
the project was not being
abandoned.
Mr.. Fields assured Mr.. Holt
field that his agency had done
nothing which caused the sud-
den price jump. %
However, the Representative
told q reporter, Il never have
believed these coop projects
were being negotiated on a
factual basis"
III never have believed the
commission really desired to
consummate contracts with
these public groups" he said.
II believe they have dragged
out the negotiations intermi-
nably."
Mr.. Holiaeld said that was a
major reason why Congress
wrote into legislation this year
"a requirement that Acc make
agreements directly with equip
ment companies for reactors
for public groups.
