Safety is an important factor in

are some good suggestions:
Be sure paint on toys is lead

Never give small child a toy
that is small enough to swallow.
Tiny toys or toys with small
parts that may come off should
be avoided.
Consider traffic hazards before
buying toys used outdoors. A ball

HOLIDAY Role
BY J. A. o'LEARY

Senator Bridges Of New
Hampshire came out yesterday
in favor of giving one man full
control over all Of this country's
missile programs.
The top-ranking Republican
on the Senate Preparedness
Subcommittee indicated one Of
his aims in the investigation
which opens tomorrow will be
to find out whether this OBJ
jective has been achieved.
The Senator said the sub
committee will want to find
out the relative functions and
jurisdiction of DR.. James r.
Killian, special assistant to the
President on science and tech
nology, and william M. Hola-
day, director Of missile pro-
grams in the Pentagon.
He said his present UNDER
standing is that DR.. Killian's
role is largely an advisory one.
and that Mr.. Holiday exercises
the authority.
Central Clearing House
Other questions which Sena-
tor Bridges said the subcom-
mittee will want to explore are:
l. Whether there is a CEN
trail clearing house in the De-
Tense Department through
which all Of the services get
the benefit Of any progress in
the missile field by each of
them.
2. Whether any scientists
have been diverted from missile
development in connection with
the establishment Of the new
International Atomic Energy
Agency to bring about CO.
peration in the peacetime uses
Of atonaic power.
Senators also said they want
to know what is being done to
equip the Nations air attack
warning system with new super
radar designed to detect on
coming ballistic missiles thous-
ands of miles away. They said
they plan to ask defense on
Gals what steps are being taken
to install this new radar along
the Distant Early Warning line
the Associated Press reported.
Several Senators said they had
been told the DEW line is not
now effective against long.
range missiles.
On the subject of centralized
control, Senator Bridges said
Il think you have got to have
one top man with full au-
thority, whether you call him
a director or q car"
