Congress was advised today
1T cannot afford to forget the
possibility Of a big atomic war.
Representative Mahon, DEM
ocrat Of Texas, sounded that
note Of caution as the House
headed into two days Of debate
on q bill to provide $3S.8 billion
Tor the Defense Department for
the year starting July l. Mr..
Mahon Is chairman Of the sub
committee which wrote the bill.
The House starts considering
amendments to the measure
tomorrow. Major fights are in
prospect then over amendments
to increase the size Of the Army
and the Marine Corps. to re-
store funds for a super aircraft
carrier, and to change the
amounts provided for missiles.
/. Fund Increases Opposed
House Republican Leader
Halleck said after a White
House conference with Presi-
dent Eisenhower today that he
hopes amendments to increase
funds in the bill can be de-
feated.
Mr.. Halleck made clear he
will oppose any amendment to
increase money for the BomarC
missile as well as to provide fol
more men in the Army and
Marine Corps.
He added that he thinks the
defense money bill will pass
the House pretty much" as
reported by the Appropriations
Committee.
Mr.. Mahon said the bill as
drawn is designed to insure
peace by guaranteeing that I'VE
have the ability in great album
dance to deter global war and
to cope with it should such a
war be forced upon u.s."
Some people, Mr.. Mahon saio
in an interview, ARE saying
get your mind of a big atomic
war. There is not going to be
one. The thing to be concerned
about is limited war;"
He called that "a dangerous
doctrine which the American
people cannot afford to en-
brace"

my only wish Is to enable our
Government to pursue its nee
essary inquiry into remedial
measures to coordinate and
sustain our complex dynamic
transportation industry as fully
and effectively as possible. It
distresses me that erroneous in
ferences may have caused you
embarrassment"
Senator Anderson said Mr..
Erpf's action was mot too i'm
pressive" to him. The Senator
said the important thing was
that Mr.. Strauss would select
to head the survey a man who
had a strong interest" in one
phase Of transportation.
Senator Anderson said it
might have been possible to find
a railroad man to do the job.
but not one whose personal
fortune is in railroad securities.
Senator Monroney made this
comment on the Erpf with
drawal: at is about time, but
it does not erase the blindness
shown in this case by Mr..
Strauss, who could not recog-
nize a conflict of interest that
was flashing neon lights"
Senator Butler, Republican
of Maryland, who supported
Mr.. Strauss on the Commerce
Committee, said he thought the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Erpf might
shorten the debate.
Il did not consider it to be
too serious" said Senator But
Ter, but I think that in the
present situation it is probably
better for Mr.. Erpf to withdraw.
