RomuIoGiiVen
j. ). Thanks

Treasury Secretary Dillon
presented a letter to General
Carlos P. Romulo, Ambassador
from the Philippines, yester-
day expressing thanks for the
final payment of $40 million on
a 1850 loan by the United
States to the Philippines.
Accepting the letter in a brief
ceremony at the Treasury De-
partment, Gen. Romulo said
the repayment reflected his
Cover ment's belief that
credit is important" and also
demonstrated that "our econ
omy Is sound"
Mr.. Dillon in his letter paid
tribute to the Philippines "ac-
complishmentS in building a
sound and stable democracy"
and took note Of cordial rela-
tons" between the two Nations
The $40 million payment,
made last April 10, was a final
settlement Of a $35 million
United States loan to the Fill
pino defense forces. The loan
was to be repaid with interest
in 10 annual installments but
payments stopped in 1855 when
Filipino veterans organizations
filed suit challenging the
legality of repayments.
When the Philippine Su-
preme Court dismissed the
suit, negotiations were under
taken on the owed balance of
about $24.5 million. This sum
was reduced to $40 million,
after allowance for Filipino
claims against the United
States.

which rushed the PolariS sub
marine-carried missile to COM
pletion.
Author Of the report is an
other Navy man, Capt. Howard
j. Silbertsein of 224 Slade Run
drive, Falls Church. Capt. Sill.
berStein is a technical staff
consultant to the House Space
Committee. His report, made
last December to Committee
Chairman Brooks. Democrat of
Louisiana, got into non-official
hands only this week.
The report is understood to
have the backing Of some DEM
ocratic members of the Space
Committee. Chairman Brooks
said, however, that no immedi-
ate plans to push Capt. Sill
berstein's recommendations are
in the works. Broad amend
ment Of the 1858 Space Act
is considered unlikely this year.
Authority Now Fuzzy
The central theme Of Capt.
Silberstein'S memo is centrali-
zation Of authority, ostensibly
to sharpen some of the fuzzy
lines of authority in the ma
tional space program. In addi-
ton to the Office Of Space
Management, Capt. Silbei stein
recommended creation of a de-
fense space agency at the as
Sistant secretary level in the
Pentagon and a defense space
support agency under the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
The effect Of these changes
would be to have a single mil
itary space agency parallel to
the existing civilian National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
iStration. with a presidential
level bureau to ride herd on the
two Of them.
The national space effort at
present is run more or less
piecemeal by NASA a md tn e
Air Force, with odds and ends
being done by other military
services, the Atomic Energy
Commission and big research
centers In industry and the
academic world. Capt. Silber-
STEMS proposal would give the
space czar the manpower and
the authority to run the whole
organization.
Big Staff Seen Needed

ernment at present, Capt.
Silberstein pointed out, who
can present q nationa, space
