Pentagon Clamps Down In Wake Of AF Manual BOObOO

WASHINGTON, R- The Sec retaries of the Army, Air Force and Navy will be held personally responsible for any more "glar- ing inaccuracies" or lack of com mon sense and good taste in their training manuals.
 That word came Friday from the boss of the Pentagon, Secre- tary of Defense Thomas Gates Jr. He ordered sweeping review of all service publications after sev- eral turned up that he said were inappropriate to military train ing"
 The Air Force so far has been the main producer of training manuals that have raised public outcry. The latest was one that charged that some Protestant clergymen were card carrying Communists, that large propor- ton of those who revised the King James version of the Bible were members of Red fronts.
 That came on top of some other Air Force manuals: one was for enlisted men assigned to attend the personal wants of general of ficers. It told them how to greet guests at the door of the generals home, how to mix drinks, even how to wash the generals dog and polish his shoes.
 The manuals were repudiated and withdrawn when they came to light.
 Secretary of the Air Force Dudley Sharp disclosed that the manual referring to Communist infiltration of churches was writ ten by Homer H. Hyde, civilian employe at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.
 At Lackland, Hyde, 54, defiant ly defended his pafnphet q felt that manual could not be completely effective as tool for combating Communists activities with which the NCO might come in contact either on or off duty unless he had all the evidence of such activity available to him that it was possible to provide" he said.
 But Maj. Gen. Robert M. Still man, commander of the base training center, said "Mr. Hyde did deviate from the planned out line of this manual without au- thority. And it was completely in- appropriate. His supervisors erred seriously in failing to pick this up."

Toward Eliminating Waste

yTFIE AVERAGE CITIZEN WANTS reduction in l government spending and lower taxes. But he's at a loss when it comes to recommending specific reforms The budgets are enormously complex, and run to reams of finely-printed pages.
 There are, however, organizations whose business it is to anayze budgets and find where cuts both possible and desirable. The Council of State Cham bers of Commerce has done that with the Administra tion's 1861 budget It proposed specific reductions totaling $33 billion = all of non-defense nature
 Its report observes that the proposals represent only
 relatively modest but effective start toward control of Federal spending at manageable level = that is, a spending level which will make practicable the tax reforms that necessary to assure sound economic growth and at the same time permit reduction of the public debt"
 The proposals cover wide area-reduced spend ing public works reduced grants-in-ad of various kinds curtailed loan programs cut in federal civilian personnel forces and so down the list. Not every one will agree with them al and other studies stress additional areas of possible cutbacks But the point is that we can have economical government with out undermining defense in any way. And the main way to achieve it is by eliminating activities which can and should be undertaken by local gov- ernment by private enterprise, or by individuals.

JUNEAU, R - Senator Bob Bartlett was assured of the Demo- cratic nomination in his bid for a full six-year term in the U. S. Senate three months before a bal lot will be cast.
 Bartlett, who drew a two-year term when Alaska's first Congress sional delegation was seated a year ago in January, was the only Democrat to enter the race for his partys Senatorial nomination.
