Gen. I o John B. edaris, chief of the Army's Ba t listic Missile Agency, said today he Army is "well ad vanced in 1 the development of Jupiter," the 1500 mile, interme diate range ballistic missile IRBM. In an address prepared for the American Ordnance Assn., Med aris dealt obliquely with the re cent order by Defense Secretary Wilson, assigning operational use of the weapon and later financial support to the Air Force. He took no direct issue, but did make these points: 1. That the U.S. Army moved into the ballistic missile field 12 years ago, *hen the Germans demonstrated the value of the V 2 weapon, and that a year ago the Army gave the IRBM program top priority. 2. Using elements of the 200- mile range Redstone ballistic mis sile as a forerunner of Jupiter, "We have gained a very consid erable time and reliability ad vantage by flight testing essential Jupiter components?" 3. The Defense Department re cently ordered that operational use of the IRBM be carried out by the Air Force and that, start ing next July 1, the Air Force would provide money support for the development program. The Air Force also has been assigned an IRBM development project, in addition to its 5000-mile intercon tinental ballistic missile program, to which it has given first prior ity. _ 4. "The Army has a long h;s tory of serving others than its , ..-1f; we have no predilection about whom we serve. If budgetary structures dictated the decision, existing resources and demon strated achievements must weigh heavily- in any determination of fut u r e developmental assign ments." 5. "The exceedingly rapid ad vance of science and technology, not confined to the United States, requires that today's concepts be translated into deployed weapons in an absolute minimum of time. 1956 Seen Bumper Year For U.S. Baby Crop WASHINGTON. Dec. 5 OP) It looks like 1956 will be a bump er year for Babies in the U.S.A. The Public Health Service esti mated today that births will total 4.202,000 by the end of the year. That would be 110,000 more youngsters than were estimated to have arrived in 1955. The service said estimates of births during the first nine months are running nearly 3 per cent ahead of those of a - year ago. The estimated birth rate of 25.1 per 1,000 population for this year Will exceed the provisional rate of 24.9 for 1955 but will fall below the record 26.6 in 1947 and the 25.3 in 1954. U.S. Supplies UN Forces WIESBADEN, Germany, Dec. 5 (W)—The U.S.. Air Force reports it has sent 237 tons of supplies so far to the. UN police force in Egypt—everything from trucks to barber kits. ranks as the opposition Laborites of Commons foreign policy debate 'that Britain "connived" at war with Egypt. But there was still a developing revolt inside the party against Eden's leadership. Capt. Charles Waterhouse, a life-long Tory and leader of a (right-wing extremist group, told the House he would abstain in the voting as a protest against Brit lain's withdrawal from Egypt. About a dozen other Conserva tive lawmakers are expected to sit out the vote in a silent protest. The government has an over-all majority of 59—sufficient to with stand a minor revolt of absten tions. There was still strong feeling against Eden's leadership among Tory legislators, evident in the lobbies of the Westminster Parlia ment. The 59-year-old Prime Min ister is in Jamaica resting up from "severe overstrain." He is due back in two weeks. Some - influential Conservatives are saying Eden will be under pressure to resign soon after he !gets back. I Eden has defended his govern iment's policy down the line since President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal on July 26. Even Eden's severest. critics concede it would be dirMcult to force him out as prime minister against his will. Any stepping down would be carried out diplo matically within the party. Factors confronting Eden in clude Tory criticism of his hand ling of the Mideast crisis. Party right-wingers feel he was not `lfirm enough. They are concerned over the economic crisis facing Britain and the diplomatic rebuffs sustained as a result of British- French intervention in Egypt. There is speculation on a suc cessor to Eden. Two dark horses mentioned are Colonial Secretary A. T. Lennox- Boyd and Sir Winston Churchill's son-in-law, Duncan Sandys, who is minister of housing. Both have remained outside the Suez con troversy. R. A. Butler, who is act ing prime minister, has been con sidered a No. I possibility.

Dulles talked with four ambas sadors, who called in a group, about the same time as British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd told the House of Commons he hoped the United States would "pass from membership of the 'Economic Committee to full mem bership of the Baghdad Pact."
