Rop at South

Senator Sparkman, Demo-

criticized Democratic National
Chairman Paul Butler for sug-
costing that some Southerners
should get out Of the party.
II believe that the Demo-
cratic Party ought to be q party
of the Nation as a whole, /" Sem
ator Sparkman said in a radio
interview recorded for Alabama
stations.
Il certainly do not believe
that the chairman of the De-
ocratic Party ought to be
urging the South to get out OF
the party and expressing the
wish that we would get out" he
said.
1.-THE party belongs to us
certainly as much as 1t does to
him, and. as a matter Of fact,
many times in the past we IN
the South have kept the party
alive"
Mr.. Butler last fall said
anyone unwilling to support

stand for racial indignation
should get out Of the party.
He mentioned Gov. Orval
Faubus of Arkansas and Sen
ator Eastland. Democrat of
Mississippi, in his comment.

Current U. S. Plans
Current American production
plans are for eight IRBM
squadrons-fiye Thor and three

squadron could go to Greece
and the remaining Jupiter

Although the British are TAX

are proceeding with an i'm

About the most the unionists
realistically can hope for Is ex-
tension Of the current SLAM
hour Federal minimum to sew
eral million exempt workers,
according to preliminary APP
praisals of the outlook. Even
this gain is no sure bet.
Senate hearings are planned
this month on labor-backed
bills to raise the hourly wage
floor TO $1.25 and to extend
coverage to about 7 million
more workers. House hear
ings probably will not start be-
fore June.
Historically. the precedents
are against extending coverage
and increasing the minimum in
the same year." a Republican
Senate source commented.
though to Get Both"
A supporter Of the union
viewpoint agreed that cit will
be tough to get both" He
added that extended coverage
is more urgent, and probably
easier to justify economically"
Leading sponsors of the ALL
CLIO bill are Democratic Sena-
tors Kennedy of Massachusetts,
and Morse of Oregon and Rep
resentative Roosevelt. Democrat
of California. Senator Kennedy
heads the Labor Subcommittee
that will hold hearings.
1t is understood that Senator
Kennedy will push for extern.

About "a million workers now
are covered by the minimum
wage law and about 20 million
are excluded. Among those ex-
cluded are employees of retail
stores. farm workers and mis-
cellaneous groups in service in

Secretary of Labor Mitchell

The United States is helping
its NATo allies push develop
ment of their own solid fuel
missile capable of striking tar
gets deep in the Soviet Union
Pentagon officials. discussing
this yesterday, said that De-
tense Department scientists
! and rocket experts are provid-
. ing technical assistance to the
Europeans on the advanced in
termediate range ballistic mis-
sileS under Americas Mutual
Weapons Development Pro-
gram.
These sources indicated that
data from our Polaris, PERISH
ing and Minuteman solid fuel
missile projects are being made
! available to NATO in the COM
mon cause.
Production in Europe
The new missile, which would
be fired from protected UNDER
ground pads or from mobile
] launchers on the surface, would
be produced exclusively in Eu-
rope. The United States, in adj
dition to technical aid. is ex-
pected to provide financial sup
port when the decision on pro-
duction Of the weapon is made
Defense Secretary McElroy
disclosed the plan for a new
IRBM for NATO during recent
closed door testimony on Capt.
tol Hill. Referring to the COM
ing phase-out of American
! Thor and Jupiter liquid-fuel
/ IRBM production, Mr.. McElroy
said:
I'VE think it is distinctly
possible that the Western
European nations may get to-
gether, and we are encouraging
them to do so, in the manufac-
ture of a land-based, solid
propellant IRBM. That seems
to us to make sense"
More Specific on Plan
Then, at another point in
his testimony, the Secretary
was more definite. He said:
1T is a regular part Of our
plan, that inasmuch as this
weapon is really their IRBM
the forces of Western Europe
and the European NATO coun-
tries as a group should be re-
Sponsible. They are taking this
job to be done by them and
they are developing a successor
IRBM Ito Thor and Jupiter)
of a solid-propellant type, but
it makes good sense to produce
that one in Europe"
Two NATO countries, Great
Britain and Italy, have agreed
to base American-built, liquid
fuel IRBMs on their soil. -Four

Drunk Driving
Case HundIinq
Irks Prosecutor

Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Clark King yesterday took
issue with a Municipal Court
judges action that led to drop
ping of a drunk driving charge.
Mr.. King explained that the
case, in which Richard d.
Austin of 728 Delafield place
NV, was the defendant, came
before Judge Austin L. Fickling
in traffic court. The offense
allegedly happened last Oc-
tober IL.
The question of dismissal
of the charge came up when
Assistant Corporation Counsel
H. Thomas Sisk told the judge
that Police Pvt. George r.
Caldwell, a prosecution wit
ness, was "tied up" in District
Court in another case.
The judge then implied that,
if Mr.. Sisk didn't drop the
charges, he (the judge) would
dismiss it rather than allow a
continuance. Mr.. Sisk, follow
ing a policy of his Office which
calls for dropping of a charge
rather than letting a judge
dismiss a case, acted accord
lngly.
But Mr.. King pointed out
that the policeman, who was
testifying in District Court in
an assault case when the
traffic matter came before
Judge Tickling, would have
been held in contempt in the
event he'd left District Court.
Saying he is unhappy"
about the disposition of the
traffic case, Mr.. King, head
of the Corporation Counsels
ONCE at Municipal Court,
added:
"We might as well close up
shop, if this is going to hap
pen."

with any conflicting advice that
Secretary Of State Herter may

Architects of this years pro-
gram are somewhat unhappy
at cuts already made by the
Budget Bureau. They are re-
ported confident, however, that
regardless Of how vigorously
the program is screened the
final Budget Bureau cut will
be no more than 81 billion.
Arms Needs Rising
This confidence is based on
what foreign aid officials con-
slider the clearly recognizable
need to step up military aid to
both the Far East and Western
Europe. Weapons shipments to
Asian allies dropped to about
81 billion in this fiscal year,
compared to a $2.5 billion
average in the previous five
years. The new program would
increase this flow to about 50
billion.

About 80 per cent Of Chrys-

Ford had its Falcon in produc-

The Comet will be sold by
Mercury dealers. The Metuchen

This would put the Comet
