Sen. Harry Byrd Questions Research Dollars

1 WASHINGTON R Sen Harry Byrd, O-Va), questioned today whether the hundreds of millions of government dollars being poured into health research are being spent wisely.
 He cited as an example $1 ,201,- 925 allotted for study of s'the affectional relationship of the in fant monkey to his mother"
 This sum for a continuing G. year study is planned at time when the government "is operat- ing on deficits reaching billioEs of dollars a year and running a debt of $500 billion," Byrd said in a statement.
 He added that there are many other research projects he ques- tions and mentioned studies of the biological control of snails by shellcracker sunfish and of the diving reflex and volume re- ceptors of the seal.
 Ut is difficult to be critical of health research" Byrd said, "bat it seems to me that much more care should be exercised in the expenditure of taxpayers money even in this important area"

MARINELAND, Fla. R - Two large black whales were sighted just outside the breakers in the Atlantic Ocean off Marineland.

COPS Stage Big Fund Raising Drive Across Country
By Douglas Cornell

WASHINGTON tR Republi- cans across the nation poured out cash for the party till last night along with cries that Democrats are grabbing for more power with 1profHgate spending and s'po- litical fakery.''
 The Republicans spent the evening at IT party get-togethers in IT cities, tied together for an hour by closed circuit television. This was the warm-up and kick off for the congressional election campaign of 1862.
 The oratory at the parties fol- lowed the usual political pattern of swinging away at the opposi- tion, upholding the COP cause with professions of confidence, and holding up the party as the great hope of the nation for get ting sound, sensible, responsible government.
 This was the other side of the record the Democrats played on Jan. 20-the first anniversary of the New Frontier = when they staged fund-raising banquet that drew people to Washington from over the country.
 Gen. Dwight Eisenhower paced the parade of Republican speak CTS. It was the former President who accused the Democrats of .profligate spending and living on flood of LOUIS" He and other COP oratorial talent said the opposition is reaching for a more powerful central govern ment and controls.
 It was Gov. Rockefeller, trying for another term as Governor this year and perhaps for the White House in 1884, who set off the heaviest blasts at President Ken nedy and his administration.
 Rockefeller accused Kennedy of political fakery in the way the President handled a proposal to establish a federal Department of Urban Affairs and to install Housing Administrator Robert c. Weaver as the first Negro in the cabinet.
 Sen. Barry Goldwater of Ari- zona, favorite of the conserva- tives for shot at the Presidency, got in his licks. He contended that leftwingers dominate the New Frontier and that the COP must sslead the way to fiscal sanity and responsibility"
 Former Vice President Richard Nixon was sidelined in the Re publican political doings by a virus infection.
 The rallies were staged to pump pep and money into the COP for the oncoming electioneering. They were dubbed R.S.V.P. affairs: Republicans Start Victory Pro gram"
