To Be Unified
For Economy

In the name Of economy, the
Pentagon win unity some of
the Army. Navy and Marine
Corps uniforms.
For the same reason, some of
the garb worn by women in the
Navy, Marines and Air Force
also will be standardized.
Anything that tends toward
a single service coloration gen.
orally stirs up opposition from
the military.
Presumably, however, the
services will still be able to
maintain individuality on the
unified" uniforms by means
Of badges and other insignia,
particularly on caps.
There will be no change in
mems winter uniforms or in
summer dress uniforms. Thus,
Navy officers still will wear
their distinctive summer whites.
In all, the Pentagon has
ordered six types of military
clothing standardized. 1t said
it expects to save about $400,-
600 a year this way by reducing
inventories and procurement
distribution costs.
The effect will not be i'm
mediate, because existing stocks
will be issued until they are
used up.
The items to be standardized
are:
Mems semi-dres summer uni
forms-That is, shirts and
slacks; Navy. Marine and Air
Force women's summer blouses
and slackS and winter slacks
and sweaters; belt buckles,
green fatigue uniforms for all
the services and white cotton
smocks worn by inspectors and
meat cutters.
Mems summer semi-dress
uniforms will be standardized
for the Army. Navy and Marine
Corps on a common design in
cotton khaki.
The Air Force will continue
to try out the use of polyester
cotton for hot weather wear
and this may lead to a future
extension of the STANDARDIZED
ton, the Defense Department
said.
Summer shirtwaists and
Slacks for feminine branches
OF the Navy, Marine and Air
Force will be Of blue polyester
cotton. The Army will continue
development Of a new field
uniform.
In the winter, women of the
Navy, Marine Corps and Air
Force will wear a dark blue
sweater along with slacks of
materials and colorS used by
their respective services. The
Army, as in the case of summer
wear, will work on a new
sweater and trouSer.
All the services will adopt
a plain black colored brass
belt buckle and clip. On this
item alone, the Pentagon hopes
to save more than $4,000 a
year.

British immigration Bill
Puts House in Uproor

LONDON, Nov. "a CAP).-
The House of Commons was
in an uproar last night as
Prime Minister Macmillan
sharply defended the govern
ment's Commonwealth immi-
grafton bill under opposition
attack.
Mr.. Macmillan has been
charged with failing to con-
suit the leaders of Common
wealth governments on his
plan to limit the growing flood
of immigrants, many of them
colored, pouring into over
crowded Britain.
Laborite members cheered as
opposition leader Hugh Gait
skell heatedly joined the ex-
changes. There were shouts OF
resign" and what a way to
run the British Common
wealth."
At one point Mr.. GaitSkell
referred to the statement of
Sir Grantley Adams, Prime
Minister of the West Indies
Federation, that he had not
been consulted about the bill.
A Courteous Gesture
"In view of the reactions of
the West Indies, it would have
been a courteous gesture, if no
more, to invite Sir Grantley
Adams to come to this country
and discuss with him, not
merely the details but the
whole principle of the BILL" Mr..
Gaitskell declared.
The Prime Minister, replying

Mr. Ribicoff emphasized that

The announcement said it is

not received prior screening and
have been unaware of a debil-

2. Those who are aware of a
disability but either have not
had prior treatment or have
permitted treatment to lapse.

Rusk Backs Statement On US. Ability to
 Crush Any Aggress0r

WASHINGTON R = Secretary of State Dean Rusk, backing a Pentagon officials declaration that the United States has the retaliatory power to crush aay aggressor, says any US. approach to negotiation with the Soviet Union would be from a position of strength.
 Rusk emphatically identified himself Sunday with the assess ment of US. military power by Roswell Gilpatric, Deputy Secre- tary of Defense. In speech Sat- urday night, Gilpatric said the United States 'shas a nuclear re- taliatory force of such lethal power that an enemy move which brought it into play would be an act of self-destrhction on his part"
 Appearing on television inter- view program--ABC-"Issues and Answers" Rusk was asked what made it possible for the adminis- tration ito speak out so con- fidently and positively" on US, military power.
 s'I think this is a point about which there ought to be more general public understanding, y Rnsjx rnnIied
 'sThe point is that the United States and its allies are strong, Mir. Khrushchev must know that we are strong, and he does know that we are strong"
 At the same time. Rusk dis counted speculation that the US. position had hardened in it's ap- proacii to a Berlin settlement.

Midas Missile Sets Radio-Reflective Belt Around Earth

POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. R "A Midas missile-alarm satellite reelected into a 2,100-mile-high orbit Saturday and spewed out $50 million tiny copper needles designed to spread into a giant radio-reflective belt around the earth.
 If successful; the experiment will place in space a five-mile wide band of hair-like reflectors which scientists can use to bounce radio waves half way around the world on frequencies not now available.
 The Air Force said Midas " elected the needles shortly after going into an almost circular 2,100 miles height, completing the 3,0O0-mile circuit once every 2 hours, g minutes.
 It may be three to four days before radar can determine how well the needles, invisible from the ground, followed the planned pattern of dispersal in space.
 The Midas satellites carry an infra-red eye able to detect the heat of ballistic missiles ex- haust seconds after launch.
 Some astronomers have opposed the experiment on the grounds that if the needles go awry in space they could interfere with optical and radio observations of the stars, or even damage satel- lites.
 Despite the controversy, ap- proval for the test was given earlier this month by President Kennedy's scientific adviser, Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner.
 The tiny needles, each 7/1Os of an inch long and one-third the thickness of a human hair, were in six-by 20-inch cylinder in the tail section of the 30-foot long Midas.
 me ITln8 was a spectacular one as the missiles flames reflect ed from the overcast and lighted up the countryside.
 Forty minutes later the Air Force announced the booster dropped away and the second stage fire=s5ca scheduie.
 The cylinder, after election, was designed to throw out a cloud of needles that would stretch within SO days into a 2,O00-mile high belt five miles wide and 25 miles deep.
 The co1e Of needles was q small proportion of tho payload Of the Midas satellite. fourth launched isss @2i1 effort to perfec. a means ii detecting missile firings from space. Only Midas III was suc- cessful.

Newspaperwoman Tells
 Montana Chamber Alaska Highway Should Be Paved

MISSOULA, Mont. R - Brit ish Columbia newspaperwon1an suggested Saturday that Mon tanans "surn a little heat on Washington, D. o." to get the Alaska Highway paved.
 Mrs. Margaret Murray, dub bed Mrs. Alaska Highway" told the Montana Chamber of Com merce Convention that T feel like Montana is the only state that gives damn whether we ever pave the Alaska Highway" She traced the history of it's construction since the idea for it was born to her and her late husband back in 1928.
 Today, she said, the 1,226 miles of highway, punched out of the wilderness for wartime aid to Soviet Russia is badly in need of repair.
 Mrs. Murray said America spent a lot of money to build the road because it wanted protection, but the war ended, leaving Canada to maintain the highway at cost of from $8 to IA million a year.
 "We want that highway paved too" she said. "But SO far as Canada is concerned, nos much can be paved until lot of high way is rebuilt"
 She estimated it will take 5-8 years to get the road paved.
 Mrs. Murray impressed upon the audience the, vast potential of the north country, including the US. State of Alaska, and she pleaded: Send us some settlers. There's plenty of room for 25 ,000 of them.
 Contrary to some statements that have been made, we don't hate anybody in the United States. We need you.
