Extra Missiles Money
Voted by Committee
Bill Allows
President to
Shift Funds

The House Appropriations
Committee today approved
President Eisenhower's request
for $l.26 billion in extra money
for defense purposes during the
rest Of the 1858 fiscal year. It
gave him even broader author
ity than he asked to transfer
funds already available within
the Defense Department.
The bill. sent to the House
for floor action later this week,
permits transfer of $3.50 million
in such excess funds. $40 mil
lion more than the President
suggested.
The committee specified that
the $40 million be shifted from
the Army's military personnel
account TO its research and
development and procurement
and production accounts and
that it be used to speed I'D
urgent missile work by the
Army.
The Pentagon also was urged
by the committee to repro
gram or otherwise use avail.
able additional funds to expe.
dite work on the Titan inter-
continental ballistic missile and
the antimissile missile program.
Time Gain Cited

planned that the additional

Joint Chiefs
Would Abolish
Chairman. Set Up
3-Member Group

Fleet Admiral Chester w.
Nimits today suggested abol-
ishing the separate post of
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of Stan as q way Of getting
speedier military decisions at
! the Pentagon.
The former Chief Of Naval
Operations and World War II
commander told the Senate
Preparedness Subcommittee he
believed II would be feasible TO
reduce the jos TO three men,
bers and have the Air Force
rotate In the top position.
Admiral Nimitz said the
abolition Of the chairman's post
as now set up would remove
one layer from this pyramid
OF chain Of command"
Under questioning. the adj
miral vigorously opposed estab-
lishment Of q so-ealled single
chief Of stan for the armed
forces. He said such a move
would not be In the national
interest and the powers Of
such q military figure might
limpinge on those exercised by
the President as commander
in-chief.
Changed His Mind
Admiral Nimitz conceded that
early in World War II after
being frustrated" by lack Of
quick decisions by Washington
commanders he expressed the
belief that q single chief Of stan
would be q good thing. Admiral
Nimitz at that time was COM
mander-in-chief Of the Pacific
Fleet. Later during the war
and In subsequent service in
Washington. the admiral said
he changed his mind because
"hindsight convinced me ] had
been wrong"
Admiral Nimitz said IL would
have been better to have given
former Defense Secretary VIII
son several special assistants
rather than O flock Of new as
sistant secretaries Of defense
when he asked for more adj
ministrative help in 1858.
Referring to Mr.. Wilson as
"a great indtstrialist and pre-
sumably q fine organizer" the
admiral said he thinks the for
mer president Of General Mo-
tors should have been given
the help he needed.
But he added he was not
farsisnted enough 70 see that
the assistant secretaries would
become layers Of veto power
and thereby contribute 70 de-
lays on decisions.

Living Cost Still
AT Record Hiu|l
Level in December
FoiIs to Show Drop
p. DOUGLAS


The cost Of living remained
unchanged in December from
the record high figure Of the
month before. the Government
announced today.
The Bureau OF Labor Sta
tistics consumer price index re-
manned stationary ct 1915 per
cent Of the ie47-49 average.
This was 81 per cent higher
than the figure for December
1856.
This was the first instance in
six years that the cost of liv-
ing had not climbed in Deem
Der. The general sag In bust
ness and particularly the
reluctance Of motorists to buy
new cars were chiefly account
able for the halt In the rise.
New Auto Prices on
Hersey z. Riley. BIS living
costs chief. said the index
would probably have climbed
had 1t not been for bigger dis
counts given by dealers on
1858 cars. New car prices were
of % per cent and prices for
used cars were down Ia per
cent. Gasoline and tire prices
also were down.
Despite the increased dis
counts. new car prices averaged
2 per cent more than in De-
cember, 1856. New models were
later that year and discounting
also was later.
December was the second re-
cent month in which the con-
sumner had a breathing spell
from the almost steady rise in
living costs which began in the
spring Of 1856. The october
figure likewise had been
unchanged from the month
before. Before that there had
been l3 uninterrupted months
Of rises TO new record levels.
Food Prices Rise
Between November and De-
cember food prices increased
slightly. Meats particularly
showed a rise. In the District
area food prices on the average
were unchanged from November
to December.
The results OF the Florida
freeze are expected to be re-
Elected in higher prices for cit
rus fruits and vegetables this
month.
Recent rises in the cost of
living mean wage increases for
about 650.000 workers whose
wage contracts are tied TO the
index. Included are approx
mately 100000 truck drivers
whose wages are adjusted
semiannually and who will get
a 3-cents-an-hour boost. About
100000 electrical equipment
workers and $4,000 aircraft
workers will get a l-cent raise
on the basis Of quarterly
adjustments.

that United States plans TO

their Middle East policies.
Turkey Singled Out

taking IAN especially aggres-
tive stand" against the Soviet
Union at the recent NATO sum-

Mr.. nyichev charged that the
United States, although not
officially q member Of the
Baghdad pact. is plotting TO
link the Baghdad pact. the
North Atlantic Treaty alliance
and the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization into an agrees

Union.
United States participation
