lion" Senator Goldwater told a
G. o. P. Embarrassing dinner
here I'VE can't afford the lux

cause he is not liberal enough
or conservative enough. They
are Republicans"

any Republican winning
governorship in 1862 would be
in position for presidential con-

That. Senator Goldwater
added, would go for Fred Sea-
ton, Hastings publisher and
Secretary of Interior in the
Eisenhower administration, if
Mr.. Seaton wins the Nebraska
governorship now held by the
Democrats.
Senator Goldwater'S comment
came when he was asked what
effect a victory in Michigan's

Laos Official Criticizes
Remarks by Horrinon

TOKYO, Mar. 81 CAP).-
United States Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Far Eastern
Affairs ". Averell Hartman
was sharply criticized today by
a senior member Of the royal
Laotian government.
Nhouy Abhay, considered a
moderate in Prince Boun Gums
right wing government, said the
views Mr.. Hartman expressed
in Vientiane we're tragic and
scabrous."
Mr. Hartman made an un-
successful trip to the Laotian
capital last week to try to break
the deadlock in talks to form
a coalition government of right
ist, neutralists and pro-Com-
munist Pathet Lao factions.

Threatened" royal government
leaders by saying that if they
did not accept a coalition under

1--WE find it tragic and scab-
rouS that Hartman should
come and say that it is we who
are responsible for the destruc-
ton of our country" said Mr..
Abhay, here for a UNESCO
conference.
Mr.. Abhay said Mr.. Hartman
committed the "blunder" of
telling Laotian leaders at a
meeting that the royal army

ARGENTINA

Santiago DantaS took pains last
night to deny an earlier govern
ment statement asserting Bra
lillian recognition of the new
Argentine regime represented
no problems. He did not spell
out what Brazil's policy toward
Argentina will be, but many
Brazilians deplored what they
called a government of force" "
The Mexican press took a dim
view of Argentine developments
and at least one newspaper
suggested diplomatic recogni-
ton be withheld.

Jose and Costa Rica ordinarily

ment press officer Lincoln
White said the United States

this hemisphere" before decid-
ing on its policy. He did not
specify the nature of the con-
situations. United States Off
cials made clear, however, that
recognition of the Argentine re-
gime will not be automatic.
Coalition Likely
Mr.. Guido's biggest encour-
agement that he might be able
to weld the two radical parties
into some kind of coalition. To-
gether they control Congress,
whether or not the Peronists
are allowed to take office.
There was division in the
ranks of Mr.. Frondizi'S own
Radical Intransigent Party
over what future course to
take. Basically, however, the
resentment appeared to stem
more from Mr.. Frondizi's
custer than the fact that Mr.
Guido, his close political ally,
had succeeded him.
The other radical party-the
Popular Radicals - staunchly
opposed Mr.. Frondizi. But its
leader, Ricardo Balbin, issued
a call to all political parties to
band together on a plan "of
minimum agreement" to over
come the crisis. Mr.. Balbin,
however. indicated he believed

Asks Full Aid
To Wet Nam
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star staff Writer

Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller says
President Kennedy should seek
a resolution from Congress au-
thorizing all-out American aid
to South Wet Nam.
Unless he does, the COP.
chairman warned, there may
be a bitter reaction when and
if the country is drawn into
a full-scale military operation.
with its attendant sacrifice and
heartbreak."
In a speech to a party fund
raising dinner in Danville, ILL.,,
last night, Mr.. Miller made it
plain that he regarded the
struggle in the Southeast Asian
country as one which we can
not afford to lose"
But he said that present ad-
minlstration policies have Gre
ated IAN official fog
which has bred public uncer-
tainty and mistruSt."
Cites Precedents
Mr.. Miller urged Mr.. Ken
nedy to cut through the un-
certainty by asking Congress
for a resolution clarifying
American goals and policies in
South Wet Nam.
He said former Presidents
Truman and Eisenhower had
done this when confronted by
similar crises.
In l947," Mr.. Miller said,
president Truman received
from a Republican Congress
the authority to aid Greece
and Turkey against Communist
aggression"
In 1855, President Eisen-
hover received from a Demo
cratic Congress the authority
to block the Red Chinese de-
sign to take FormoSa and the
PeScadoreS."
In 1857, President Eisen-
hover again obtained a con-
gressional resolution authoriz-
ing military action in the Mid
die East"
I In all three cases, the COP,
chairman said, when the Presi-
dents laid the facts on the
table, they received solid
bipartisan support from Con-
greSS
4 Mr.. Miller contrasted the
handling of these past crises
with the Kennedy adminiStra-
tion'S treatment of the Wet
Nam situation.
A State Department spokes-
man said the activities of the
American Military Advisory As
slstance Group CMAAG) in Wet
Nam were authorized by an ex-
ecutive agreement signed De-
cember %, 1850.
Also, he noted, the 1861 for
eign aid bill permits the Presi-
dent to assign American troops
, to perform duties of a non-
, combat nature, including those
: relating to training and advice"
, in foreign countries.
The Republican chairman
said it was unclear what limits
were being placed on the size
and role of the MAAG forces.
Sees Contradiction
THE President says our
forces have orders to shoot only
when fired upon" he declared,
yet our planes are repeatedly
engaged in strafing and bomb
ing-clearly a contradiction.
THE Secretary of Defense
reports our troops in
South Wet Nam participate in
combat-type training activities
which can be considered COM
bat missions
! Assignment of a four star
general to Saigon, Mr.. Miller
/, said, can only mean "he is
preparing to take command of
a force of major size, in case it
becomes necessary to send one
in"
All this. he asserted, has
bred public uncertainty and
mistruSt.

Defense Aides
On Contracts
BY the Associated Press

Defense officials who handle
multibillion dollar contracts
and supplies ran into sharp
questioning yesterday from
Senators Robertson, Democrat
of Virginia, and Symington,
Democrat of Missouri.
Senator Robertson said he is
amazed that the military serv-
ices have some $13 billion
worth of stocks of ammunition
and other items which are re-
garded as surplus or in long
supply.
That's a heap of money ="
said Senator Robertson, acting
chairman of the Sena e
Appropriations Subcommittee
handling the huge $50 billion
new defense money bill.
1T seems that somebody has
not been on the job" Senator
Robertson told Thomas D. Nor
riS, Assistant Secretary of De-
fenSe for installations and
Logistics.
Had Been Needed
Mr.. Morris said much of this
surplus is in ammunition, spare
parts for aircraft and other
weapons, and material which
has become obsolite but had
been needed as a possible war;
time reserve in the past.
Senator Symington, a former
Secretary of the Air Force and
business executive said cleo
tronicS and aircraft manufac-
turers have complained to him
that some defense contracts 60
to the anointed few" OF mem
berS of the club"
He said he knows of a con-
tract on which bids were taken
three different times and two
contractors in Missouri, who
were low at first, later lost the
award to a contractor who mad
been high on the first bidding
I'm just a country boy about
this thing but I'd like to know
what the policy is" Senator
Symington told a. Tyler Port,
an executive in the Army's fl
nancial management section.
Changes Bring Profit
Senator Symington said it is
possible for a defense bidder to
submit an offer below cost
purposely. and then make an
actual profit because of en-
gineering changes later on the
contract. He told a reporter
he was referring to a contract
for electronics equipment.
Senator Symington said air.
craft manufacturers have told
him they have been allowed a
lower rate of profit before taxes
on renegotiated contracts than
the automobile manufacturing
industry got on the same prod
uct.
Graeme Bannerman, a Dep
uty Assistant Secretary of De-
fense, denied that negotiated
or incentive contracts put the
Government in the position of
being robbed blind"
Senator Symington said he
had not used these words but
there is a growing resentment
among reputable defense con-
tractors who cant get con-
tracts because they don't be-
long to the club"
Mr.. Bannerman replied that
the profit rate by defense con-
tractors has been steadily
downward"

The Cuban radio said 10 priS-
onerS have admitted that the
United States Central Intel
ligence Agency masterminded
the invasion.
The trial, in week end recess,
will resume Monday.
The press accounts said the
letter was written by Jose Perez
San Roman to his parents in
Miami on May 6, 1861. The
letter cited what it called this
false intelligence information
given the invaders before the
landing: That the Castro army
was "demoralized," that it had
no tanks, that it could not
react and give combat at least
until 70 hours after the land
ing" and that the invaders had
air superiority.
Ran Into Enemy
The letter claims the invaders
ran head-on into a very SUI
perior enemy" San Roman, the
newspapers said, claimed the
invaders had been told they
would be put ashore at an un-
inhabitated spot and that the
Castro forces had no commu-
nicationS in the area. Instead
he was quoted as writing, the
invaders ran into a town with
hundreds of lights" that had a
microWave communication link
with Havana, which flashed the
news of the invasion before the
invaders got ashore.
The letter also repeatedly said
two other landings which should
have taken place in Oriente
and Pinar del Rio Provinces
never came off. The Pinar Del
Rio invasion was supposed t6
have been a diversionary move,
the letter said. The reported
Oriente landing plan was not
