US. to Cut Dependents
Oversees by One-HoIf
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
star star Writer

Pentagon officials prepared today to reduce the num-
Der of dependents of military personnel by more
than half Much Of the reduction may be made simply by
refusing send any families of servcemen abroad
for about 10 months
In directive to the Defense Department designed to

for about 10 months.
In a directive to the Del
cut spending abroad and re-
duce the outflow of gold from
the United States, President
Eisenhower yesterday told Sec
rotary of Defense Gates to:
/. Reduce the number of de-
pendents Of Defense Depart
ment military and civilian
personnel abroad to 200, 000-|
from the present 484, 1000.
2. Reduce "by a very substan-
tial amount" defense buying
abroad (moSt of this is in
petroleum and other fueD.
3. Prohibit the purchase of
foreign goods by the NON
appropriated fund activities" of
the military services-that is,
goods for post exchanges and
service clubs-eXcept for Spe-
cial cases.
Mr.. Gates said yesterday he
supported" the order, and
officials said the Joint Chiefs
of Staff had reviewed and
agreed to it.
But the slash in dependents
abroad ran directly counter to
a long-cherished military con-
viction that families are neces-
sary abroad to keep service
morale high. When similar
cutbacks were discussed in the
the past. service heads always
protested.
It has not been decided how
the order will be carried out,
but it could mean a virtual
halt in dependent travel
abroad for a year and a half.
There is an annual turn
over in overseas dependents of
about 10000 a year. If the
cutback is carried out over an
18-month period, as Pentagon
officials indicated yesterday was
contemplated, then most of the
reduction could be made by not
sending dependents abroad for
that period.
May Cut Length of Tour
But spokesman said the plan
probably will be more compli-
Gated. Some overseas tours of
duty may be cut short to bring
people home faster. And mini
mum family tours" may be
extended from the present
three years to four or more
years to discourage families
from going abroad.
At the same time, tours with
out families may be cut to
something like the Marine
Corps tour of 10 months. Per-
haps military personnel with
out families on long tours of
duty will be given home leave
midway in their tour.
About half the foreign-based
personnel are single. Married
soldiers are now accompanied
by about 100000. dependents.
Civilian workers for the De-
partment Of Defense have an
other 5000 dependents abroad.
The average dependent, the
Pentagon said, spends about
$1,000 year, a big contribution
to Americas balance Of pay
ments" problem.
Secretary Gates said that
morale need not suffer from
the new order. II think that
our people are accustomed to
sacrifice" he said. Military
people have been separated
additionally. This Will. of
course, require strong leader
ship. We have that leadership.
Our people realize we are at
war, new kind of war. Our
career people are dedicated to
the service of their country and
will understand the need for
this action"
No troop cuts are contem-
plated from the order, which
specifies that overseas spending
be reduced without diminish
ing our effective military
strength" But officials pointed
out that troop levels are re-
viewed continually and reduced
wherever possible.

Signing Due Today

MEXICO CITY, Aug. IL (AP)
The United States and Mexi-
can governments were reliably
reported to have reached agree
ment last night on extension of
their commercial agreement,
with each country getting new
privileges.
The more important features
Of the agreement, which prob
ably will be signed here today
repeatedly are:
Braniff Airlines, which has
had no service in Mexico for
many years, will get a direct
San Antonio-M Mexico route.
GINA (Mexicana de Aviacion)
will get a Dallas-Mexico City
franchise.
Aeronayes de Mexico. which
now operates between Mexico
City and New York. will be en-
titled to extend its service to

pioneered and is currently op-
Grated by Guest Airways.
An American carrier, yet to
be designated but probably Pan
American. will get a Miami

Let the Great Debate Go On

1t will be argued that the
people like to see the two
: nominees on the screen-how
they look in action. The
newspapers could easily print
a sequence Of snapshots from
the film recording showing
the facial expressions and
gestures of the candidates
that would be of interest to
the people. Such publication
has the advantage, too, of
permitting those citizens who
work in the evenings and
can't see television to pick up
their favorite newspaper and
read the great debate"
whenever it is convenient to
do so.
But there is no reason why
the whole thing couldn't be
released simultaneously for
public reading, television
viewing and listening by ra-
dio. Lots of news material is
given out for publication in
print or over the air at a
fixed time in the day.
II the American people are
really painting to hear or read
the great debate between Mr..
Nixon and Senator Kennedy,
there is no good reason for
waiting on a dallying Con-
gress to enact superfluous
legislation designed to spare
the television and radio sta
tions some embarrassing con-
troversies with would-be can
didates for President on tick
cts Of minor parties.
It would also furnish the
television and broadcasting
companies a good opportunity
to fight in the courts the un-
constitutional laws that seek
to control the freedom Of the
press. The truth is radio and
television are just as much a
part Of the press as are books,
magazines. press associations
and newspapers, and they are
entitled to present as much
or as little Of the great de-
bate" as they think the pub.

Senator BIomes Extremist Leaders
For South's Whipping Boy Stotus

I inquired of the tall Ten

paign would lead him.
"Pll ca paign in the

already agreed to speak in
Tennessee, North Carolina
and Kentucky. I have had a
query from one city in Flor

They have already asked me
to come; And there's Idaho,
Nebraska and the Dakotas.
I'm going to do what I can.
I believe the country needs a
Democratic President. I think,
incidentally. it is important
to the South to help make
this possible. Only a stable,
understanding South can
fully share in this country's
great future. 1t can't be done
by erecting a curtain of false
logic and untruth along the
Mason-Dixon Line"
The Senator thinks the
congressional session will
work out all right. Since a
civil rights bill was enacted
just a few months ago he
believes even the most ag-
gressive Negro leadership
will see political cynicism be-
hind the plan of introducing
rights bills based on the
Democratic platform for pas

a greater stake in the legis-

of low income with hospital

other immediate legislative
detectives with more acute
priorities.

New Freeze Method
Keeps Blood for Years

CHICAGO, Aug. IL CAP).-
Naval researchers reported to-
day they can safely preserve
human blood for nearly four
years by freezing it.
The deep-freeze method OF
blood storage could revolution
ize blood bank operations now
capable of storing blood no
more than three or four weeks,
said the American Medical As
sociation. Researchers at the
United States Navy Hospital
Chelsea, Mass, published their
report in the current journal
of the American Medical AS
sociation.
The researchers said the new
storage method could lead to
these advances in providing
blood for transfusions:
Cd Reduce waste due to
spoilage of unused human
blood.
CD Alleviate the shortage OF
blood for operations requiring
large amounts, such as OPEN
heart surgery.
80 Assure adequate supplies
of blood in rare types without
resorting to emergency appeals
and allow persons with rare
types to bank their own blood
for future use.

Presentation of Nixon-Kennedy Talks
Urged Without Waiting for Congress

can not only be televised but
can be duplicated on other
tapes which also can be used
over and over again on as
many television stations as
desire it.
A suitable studio is avail
able in the Capitol Building
here-paid for by the tax
payers-which is used every
day for television or radio
interviews with members of
Congress. While these can. of
course, be exhibited immedi-
ately after being recorded,
the conversations often are
taped several days in advance
and are sometimes shown to
the public a week or more
later.
So it would be easy for the
Associated Press and the
United Press International to
invite MesSrs. Nixon and
Kennedy to a joint debate on
perhaps one topic a week
throughout the campaign,
and furnish the video tape to
the television stations, in
dividually or as networks, to
use as they please just as
would the newspapers. The
recording also could be made
available for radio broad
casting.
No governmental authority

it would be a good idea not to

impression that the Govern
ment here controls television

Why, indeed, does anybody
