New Hampshire: Douglas. DEM
ocrat of Illinois, and Proxmire,
Democrat of Wisconsin. join
ing Senator Williams against
the bill.
The measure appropriates
$715,328,500 for the Commerce

cies in fiscal 1860. This is

charges by Senator Eastland,
Democrat of Mississippi, that
he is a leading United States
Communist, said in a state
ment:
II do not care one whit
whether Senator Eastland dis

Mr.. Kahn is the author Of

He said that no final decision
has been made to go ahead
with final development and
production of the 2.000-mile-

Burke Urges
Carrier Fund
By the Associated Press

Admiral Arleigh A. Burke
says this Nations best bets
against Russian ballistic mis-
siles and submarines are
speedy new attack aircraft
carriers.
Admiral Burke said another
$3.50 million Forrestal type
carrier-denied by the House
is the top priority need for the
Navy.
In an earnest 5000 word
lecture yesterday to the Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee
handling the $50 million de-
tense money bill, the Chief of
Naval Operations predicted:
That a fleet Of modern at
tack carriers with supersonic
Jet planes will be needed Gas
far as We can see into the
future.
That as accuracy of ballistic
missiles improves. the mobile
carriers will be considerably
less vulnerable than fixed
bases ashore"
That control Of the seas will
be required to keep pledges for
defending our allies now scat
tered about the globe.
He said the present force Of
IA attack Notwithstanding
several older World War II
f1attops-provides "the mobile
airpower required to insure
United States contol Of the
seas"
Particularly in limited war
fare or threats Of this. Admiral
Burke said the fast-moving
carrier task forces must pro-
vide initial striking power.
"Piloted aircraft, rather than
ballistic missiles. are required
for tactical missions" he said,
because "only trained pilots on
the spot can identity and at
tack with precision the variety
of fixed and moving targets
which must be countered In
limited conflicts"
He said this country and its
allies almost lost the Battle
of the Atlantic because Of Ger
man submarines" in both
World Wars.
He said that Nazi Germany
had only SO submarines at the
start of World War II while
Soviet Russia now has roughly
$50 submarines" that ARE
much improved over the Ger
man U-boats."
The modern carrier task
force. he said, is most eff
fective weapon for hunting
down and killing these under
water boats.

Within two years after the
start Of the tests at Edwards,
the rocket ship is expected to
be ready for its big jump.
Dyna-Soar, somewhat smaller
than the 50-foot-long Kills,
will be hoisted into position
atop an intercontinental ballis-
tic missile such as the Atlas
and blasted out beyond the
earth's atmosphere.
Dyna-Soar will rocket up five
or six times higher than the
Kills, which is designed to
reach an altitdue of about 100
miles.
StairStep Return
Then its pilot-perhaps a
member of the Kills team-will
begin a series of, stairstep
glides back into the atmos-
phere. slowing its speed grad
ually to avoid burning up from
air friction.
About an hour and q halt
after launching, Dyna-Soar will
set down on the dry lake at
Edwards, landing at a speed
in excess of 200 m.p.h.
1--WE hope this will turn out
to be the Strategic Air Com
mand'S bomber of the future"
Col. Russell said. 1T will be
manned and to some degree
comfortable and extremely
fast"
Col. Russell said Dyna Soar
would have no means for thrust
after its booster ICBM burns
out and drops into the Atlantic
Ocean. Small vernier jets will
correct its course in space and
wings and control services will
support and guide it in the
atmosphere.
