BASES
Closing Will Come
Over 3K-Yeor Span

States. About two-thirdS of
the bases listed today are con-
sidered major bases"
Further cloSings can be ex-
/ pected, Mr.. Mcnamara said. AS
the Air Force loses BAT bomb
ers it will also lose bases.
| Mr.. Mcnamara said the an
nouncement today should not
indicate that the Army will
lose uniformed personnel under
the fiscal year 1865 budget, now
in the White House for final
decisions.
He did not mention the Navy
and Air Force. but it is known
that his own recommendations
we're to reduce Air Force per-
sonnet Slightly-to reflect the
cutback in bombers-and add
some personnel to the Navy-to
provide crews particularly for
Polaris submarines.
Mr.. Mcnamara pointed out
that he is reducing overall CT
william personnel in the Defense
Department and plans to bring
it to the lowest point in Is
years.
The armed services have sew
eral hundred additional bases
which they believe are surplus.
Thy have long been anxious for
massive base closings.
The existence of each base
is jealousy guarded, however,
by a Congressman and local
officials or by some foreign
ally.
No one doubts that the tax
payers can be saved many mil
lions Of dollars Mr.. McNa-
mara says he can see another
$125 million to $3.50 million
worth of savings annually-but
this and past administrations
tend to bow to political pres
sure.
Camp Chaffee, for instance,
was reopened in 1861 against
the wishes of the Army after
Senator Fulbright, Democrat of
Arkansas. put heavy pressure
on the Defense Department.
Mr.. Mcnamara said that to-
days closings were his own de-
cision but that it squared with
instructions from Presidents
Kennedy and Johnson to get
the maximum defense at the
lowest possible cost"

By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

Republican members OF the
Senate Rules Committee may
take their fight to the floor of
the Senate if they are rebuffed
today in efforts to widen the
scope Of the Robert G. Bobby
Baker investigation.
The committee plans to vote
today on whether members will
be permitted to question wit
nesses about party girls" This
line Of questioning was shut off
last week by the chairman,
Senator B. Everett Jordan,
Democrat Of North Carolina.
The Republican members are
pressing for a thorough and
complete" inquiry. They con-
tend that every report and
rumor should be run down in
the questioning Of witnesses in
executive session.
The Republicans contend
that the Senate resolution au-
thoTizing the inquiry is broad
enough to permit the commit
tee to pursue any avenue of in
quiry related to the Baker case.
They want to question wit
nesSes on whether party girls
were connected with any of the
business dealings being inves-
tigated by the committee.
A Republican source said
that if the Democratic maj ority
votes to restrict the inquiry,
the G. o. P. members are con-
sidering several remedies. "
Among these are going back to
the Senate to have the author
ization spelled out in more de-
tail and boycotting the Rules

criticism from merit groups,
the press and republican men,

Trained Personnel
Ready For Mine
Emergencies, Fires

Trained mine personnel, ready
for emergencies, are being trained
in this area, to be in readiness for
the increased mining activities.
Carl Schell, director of the
Maryland Bureau of Mines, said
that coal mining apparently has
reversed its downward trend in
the past year and would continue
to go up in the years ahead.
Increase in mining has aided
employment and already is show
ing its effect in the economy of
the coal mining counties in this
area.
Because of the impetus given in
the coal production it is necessary
TO have trained personnel in case
of emergency, mine fires, explo-
sions. rock falls, and other possible
disasters
Since 1850 Maryland Bureau of
Mines had a rescue truck fully
equipped with all necessary
equipment, housed in the Rescue
and Community building in Kitz-
miller.
Two rescue teams were given U.
S. Bureau of Mines examinations
within the past week. Prior to that
the IL men completed a two-week
mine rescue training course in
KitZmiller. The class was taught
by H. B. Buckley, district mine in
spectOr. To take this training the
team members had to pass a physi-
cal fitness test, undergo a mini
mum of 80 hours actual training
and at the end pass the U. S.
Bureau of Mines examination
The bureau recently requested
a new emergency truck incorporat-
ing all the latest emergency fea-
lures. Since this equipment is used
in cooperation with civil defense
activities, the vehicle is subject to
statewide call if requested during
disasters.

of assassination.
They were followed by Warren
G. Harding, elected in 1920, who
died August 2, 1928; Franklin D,
Roosevelt, elected in 1910, who died
April -, 1945. The only other
president to die in office, Zachary
Taylor, elected in 1848, died July
8, 1850

president, is the third Johnson to
be elected vice president and the
second to become president Rich
