Ugly Tactics
Laid 10 Nixon
ByStevenson

SACRAMENTO, Calf, June
4 (AP).-Adlai Stevenson to-
day urged Vice President Nix
on to repudiate a supporters
statement that a big Demo-
cratic vote in Tuesdays Cali
fornia primary will mean
Americans don't support Presi-
dent Eisenhower's attitude to-
ward communism.
Mr.. Stevenson, entering the
California campaign for the
second time in as many days,
sent plaudits to Gov. Edmund
G. Brown for attacking the
statement "aS the ugly tactics
of the old Nixon and eleventh.
hour McCarthyism."
The big interest in Tuesdays
primary is whether Mr.. Nixon,
alone on the COP ballot, can
out-poll Governor Brown, who
has Democratic opposition
from Los Angeles pension pro-
moter George .McLain. The
Democrats have a 80 regis
tration edge, but Republicans
traditionally get more party
members to the ballot booths.
In letters to Los Angeles area
Republicans. former Congress
man Patrick Hillings-the Los
Angeles County G.. o. P. chair
man and long time Nixon asso-
ciate-noted Gov. Brown had
called for a vote that would
swamp the q. o. P. showing
for Mr.. Nixon.
Such a vote would be inter-
preted by Premier Khrushchev
"aS an indication that the ad-
ministration's tough attitude
toward communism is not sup
ported by the American peo-
ple," said Mr.. Killings.
In a speech at San Diego
Thursday night, Gov. Brown
called the letter twisted and
deformed typical, last
minute Nixon smear and fear
statement"
In a telegram to Gov. Brown
today, Mr.. Stevenson said Mr..
Nixon's failure to repudiate the
Killings letter "can only be in
terpreted as approval of tactics
that would debase our politics
in this, critical year."

Big Defense
Unit Waste

The controller general yes
terday charged the Defense
Department with waste and in
efficiency in its management
of electronic supplies of the
military services.
The departments present
methods are resulting in signi-
ficant additional costs to the
government, said Jose
Campbell, the controller gen.
eral, in a report to Congress-,
Mr.. Campbell said a recent
review disclosed that electronic
equipment valued at SIS mil
lion was being unnecessarily
repaired at a cost of $680,000
when uSable items were avail
able in large quantities in the
other services.
1--WE also found that un-
necessary administrative costs
are being incurred because
there are six independent or
ganizations performing the
same or similar stock manage
ment functions" he said.
Combining the organizations
and functions would produce
substantial savings in the ad-
ministrative costs, which now
exceed $25 million a year, Mr..
Campbell said.
He added that the Defense
Department is now conducting
a study in this area and has
advised Mr.. Campbell it will
have no comment on his find
ings until the study is COM

would usually get between de-

The group also wants to con-
tinue the trend toward separat-
ing the Chiefs of Staff from
command functions and making
them strictly policymakers
The 1858 reorganization act
makes this possible by saying
the chiefs will command troops
but supervise" those actions
the Secretary specifies. Most
command functions are now in
the hand of unified" multi
service commands around the
world, and these commands re-
port to the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff-in the Secretary's office
not to individual service
chiefs. The study group would
push this farther.
Also, it wants to strengthen
the unified command and dim
inish single service influence
over the fighting organizations
No specific plans have been
drawn up or approved finally
by President-elect Kennedy
according to Pentagon sources.
