Of no physician who has re-

Atlantic, probably two months
before Russia claimed that 1t

The firing was from the Air

Florida's Cape Canaveral.
Russia was reported to
have fired four long-range
ballistic missiles since June
and to have tested many
more over a longer period Of
time.)
News Reporter Milt Sosin
said in a copyright story the
missile probably was fired in
early June. He described it as
a Convair Atlas. He reported
it reached a point in the South
Atlantic about 2,400 miles from
the Florida coast. between the
British island Of st. Lucia and
the Equator.
The only previous report Of
an Atlas test came early this
summer. A missile Of that class
was launched successfully but
was destroyed at an altitude Of
5000 feet when a valve failure
made it wobble.

Reporter Sosin quoted a "key

tional debt.
He said this left only $2.7 bill
lion additional for all other &C
Invites. including pay raises to
Government employees, the new
soil bank payments to farmers,
and research against disease.
Mr.. Merriam said this shows
that. contrary to general dis
cussion" the higher budget is
not due to "a vast number of
new-fangled ideas"
L. NJ. Berry of Florida in
quired about a recent forecast by
a group of economists that future
budgets would go up instead of
down because of growing popu-
lation and national defense.
This brought Mr.. Merriam's
statement that some world
agreement to limit ornaments
offers the best hope for a smaller
budget.
Mr.. Merriam pointed out that
while large sums are being
spent to develop new weapons,
it would be foolhardy to dis
card conventional weapons dur
ing the development period. SO
that there is for the time being
a double expense for weapons.

prosperity and honest govern
ment."
IF we lose we can't blame the
Democrats. we can only blame
ourselves" he added.
The Vice President then tried
to steer his associates away from
divisions based on such slogans
as Modern Republicanism."
If by Modern Republicanism
we mean that one group of Re-
|publicans should be pitted
against another, I am against it, "
he said.
Mr.. Nixon suggested that, in
"a two-party system, there must
be room for differences within
each party.
THE day We set up in the
United States a different party
for every group having different
views. we will be well on our
way down the dreary road some
of our friends abroad with null
tiple party systems are trav-
cling" the Vice President
went on.
II respect those who differ
with some of the policies of
our administration. do not

in returning from his trip on the
aircraft carrier Saratoga of the
coast of Florida.
Developments at the opening
session yesterday made it clear
that the 1858 G. o. P. campaign
will be built around President
Eisenhowers record, and the
need for giving him a Republic
can Congress, even though some
Republicans have disagreed with
him in recent months on the
Federal budget and some phases
of his legislative program.
Harmony Asked For
Appeals for party harmony
by Vice President Nixon and Mr..
Alcorn obviously were prompted
by signs of these policy differ
ences which cropped up at some
of the six regional conferences
held by G. o. P. workers in April
and May.
In his speech. Mr.. Alcorn said
the Republicans today "have the
greatest record of achievement
any party has ever had in our
Nations history upon which to
go to the people,"
But he reminded his fellow
party workers that, superior as
that product is, we cannot ex-
pect it to sell itself. Each of
you, as an official of the Re-
publican Party. is a salesman for
the administration"
Mr.. Nixon told the gathering

does not think anyone should
tirn President Eisenhower down
after the job he has done in the
White House.
He said another reason was
that he saw people in California
living in more luxury than ever
before. and added. they are the
ones who are complaining" He
promised to cooperate with
State finance chairmen in raising
the party requirements but
served notice that "if they don't
deliver we will get someone else
or move in ourselves"
The question and answer ses-
sion was started by National
Committeeman Edward G. Jane
way of Vermont, who inquired
what raised the 1858 budget 81
billion above the spending level
three years ago.
Mr.. Merriam replied that $4.4
billion is related to national
security, including an increase of
