had been aimed at drawing a

partisanship.
The Attorney General was
the major witness before the

lation to create SO additional
Federal judgeships. This num-
ber recommended by the Judi

Committee Chairman Cellar,

More Will Be Needed
Mr.. Kennedy said he did not

needed but believed they cer-
tainly will be-"
At the outset, Republican
McCulloch noted that "a per
cent of Federal judges were
Democrats when President
Eisenhower assumed office.
Currently, the percentage is
about 48 per cent Republican
and So per cent Democratic.
Congress last year refused to
act on a judgeship bill of Mr..

Mansfield Suggests
U. S. Cut NATO Force

Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield suggested today that
the United States consider
withdrawing two or three of Its
five Army divisions from Eu-
rope to induce the NATO allies
to fulfill their obligations and
help close this country's dollar
gap.
Thomas K. Finletter, whose
nomination to be American
Ambassador to NATO was be-
ing considered by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
said he would not like to see
any diminution of NATO
strength, although he agreed
the allies should be persuaded
to increase their commitments.
why is 1t so necessary that
we maintain such q preponder-
ant show Of strength so far
from our shores?" asked the
Democratic leader. What
would you think of withdraw
ing two or three of our five
divisions and shifting more OF
the burden to the other NATC
powers?"
ManSfield's Suggestion
Senator Mansfield said pull
ing two or three divisions out
of Europe would alleviate the
American deficit in interna-
tional payments, which has
caused a drain on our gold
supply.
Mr.. Finletter replied that the
gold drain must be checked but
added, Il would hope it will not
be accomplished by withdraw.

Tubby Favors
Tighter Rein
On Security

Roger Tubby, Assistant Sec.
retary Of State for public
affairs. told Congress today he
favored much tighter admins
tration Of security regulations
to prevent publication Of such
matters as Secretary of State
Rusk'S memorandum on defense
strategy.
Mr.. Tubby, the Presidents
choice for the State Depart
ment's top press information
post, discussed the leak" Of the
Rusk memo with members OF
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. which later recon-
mended his confirmation.
He said he believed the chief
mischief" in the report pub
lished in Monday editions Of
The Washington Evening Star
was the impression given Mos
cow that an assault on Western
Europe would not be met by
American nuclear retaliation.
Officials Blamed
Chairman Fulbright, Demo-
crat Of Arkansas, pressed Mr..
Tubby to find ways to halt
premature revelation Of mat
ters still in the realm of dis
cussion." Senator Fulbright said
such disclosures endangered the
Nation and were q nuisance"
to the committee, which spent
most Of yesterday Quizzing Mr.
Rusk on his views.
Mr.. Tubby said the chief
blame for such disclosures lay
with Government officers who
give out information they
should withhold. He linked
this to rivalry between the
armed services.
Asked by Senator Fulbright
why the executive branch could
not ascertain the source Of such
leaks. Mr.. Tubby said many of
the stories were assembled by
reporters from a variety OF
sources. =.
Law Covering Leaks
Senator Lausche. Democrat
Of Ohio, asked Mr.. Tubby II
there is any law dealing with
leaks Of information affecting
the Nations security.
The State Department Off
cial said the existing law covers
only leaks involving classified
documents.
Chairman Fulbright sug-
geSted that classified labels be
applied to memoS from the
State Department to other ex-
ecutive agencies.
Mr.. Tubby said he hopes To
have meetings with bureau
chiefs and editors Of Washing
ton newspapers to discuss han
ding Of stories involving ma
tional security.

Caves Yield Rich Relics,
Kept Secret 18 Months

of the University of Nevada to
acknowledge the project.
Officials still are keeping Sc
cret the exact location Of the
caves to prevent vandalism.
It is believed, however, the
find is at the site Of ancient
and now-dry Lake Winnemucca,
part Of Lake Lahontan which
once covered most Of North
western Nevada.
The Sparks trio discovered q
cave containing a baby's Skele-
ton, wrapped in fibers and ami
NAL hide, well preserved arti-
facts, and water baskets still
capable of holding water.
The trio-Jim and Bob Nc
Kinnon and Paul Dinan-also
found a rare atlatl, or throwing
stick, about 18 inches long
grooved at the end for holding
an arrow or dart point.
Only about IL Of these sticks
have ever been found in the
United States and only one
other had been found in Ne
vada. 1t is estimated more
than 1000 years old.
Richard Shutter, jr., arche-
ologist of the museum and the
Desert Research Institute, said
objects found in the caves also
include a beautiful ebert
knife" mating, cordage, shell
horns and beads. The beads
and shell horns have been
traced to California prehistoric
dwellers, indicating some trad
ing took place.
Also found was the lower jaw
and part of the upper jaw of
the now-extinct euceratherium,
related to the lnusk-ox, and
first such find In Nevada.
The bones were mingled with
baskets, indicating the beast
was killed and eaten by the
rock shelter dwellers. Similar
animal remains were found in
q New Mexico cave and estab-
lished as 1892 years old.

The former Air Force Secre-
tary said he was afraid the
Mansfield suggestion would
create q fear among the allies
that the United States was
planning to withdraw from
Europe. He said this would be
particularly bad at the be-
ginning Of the new Kennedy
administration.
In laying the groundwork
for his suggestion, Senator
Mansfield pointed out that the
United States has only "A
Army divisions in all. Of which
two are in Korea, five in NATO,
and seven scattered elsewhere.
The Montana Democrat said
West Germany Is next to the
United States in providing
manpower to NATO with II OF
Its promised IL divisions. The
Senator said the French and
British are supposed to have
four divisions each but neither
is up to that level.
Among Major Tasks
Earlier. Mr.. Finletter agreed
with Chairman Fulbright that
it would be one of his major
tasks to try to persuade the
other NATO members to bear
q larger share of both the de-
fenSe and economic aid bur-
dens.
The committee voted to re-
port favorably Mr.. Finletter

Gus that he was not making a
partisan case. He cited presi-
dental appointments from Taft
through Eisenhower to show
that every President had drawn
large majorities Of judges from
his own political party. He
maintained, however, that
President Eisenhower had
sought to establish a reason-
able balance between the two
parties. He told Mr.. Kennedy
that he hoped for a declaration
this morning that a bipartisan
balance would be achieved.
Brief Assurance
The Attorney General avoided
any reference to selections in
his prepared statement. His
brief assurance was in answer
to Mr.. McCulloch's query:
Don't you feel that the Fed
eral judiciary should be reason
ably in balance in respect to
politics?"
Judge John Biggs, represent
ing the Judicial Conference,
and Bernard G. Segal. speak
ing for the American Bar Asso-
citation, told the committee the
shortage of judicial manpower
was the primary reason for
packed court dockets. They
agreed with Mr.. McCulloch
that appointments should be
without regard to party affili-
alton. They were assured by

action.
