FRIDAY, JANUARY
U.S. Ch
To Agre
WASHINGTON (UP) The United States challenged
Nikita Khrushchev yesterday to follow through on his
troop cutback proposal by agreeing to an effective inter
national disarmament plan.
As for itself, is said the United States is "prepared to go
as far toward safeguarded dis
armament as any ether country,"
State Department press officer
Lincoln White issued the U.S. re
ply to Khrushchev's Moscow
speech while U.S, stategists stud
ied the Soviet Premier's text.
Khrushchev announced the
Soviet Union will cut its armed
forces from 3.8 million to 2.4
men over the next couple of
years, and will quit production
of manned bombers while push•
ing ahead with production of
powerful missiles.
Initial reaction here was that
Khrushchev is reorganizing, not
disarming his forces and trying
at the same time to reap propa
ganda benefit from the move.
"A masterpiece of propaganda
affectivenes," was the description
applied by Sen. Hubert M. Hum
phey (D-Minn.), chairman of the
Senate Disarmament subcommit
tee.
Senate Democratic Leader-
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
said Khrushchev "holds out an
olive branch and at the same
lime tries to hit us over the
head with it."
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel of Cali
fornia, the assistant Senate Re
publican leader, said the Soviet
Premier apparently was announc
ing only a shift from men and
planes to missiles.
Rep. Thomas E, Morgan (D-Pa.),
chairman of the House Foreign
Afairs Committee, said Khru
shchev's speech was a combina
tion of boasting and propaganda
and "should not be allowed to
affect our foreign policy in any
Way."
The State Department state
ment focused on The 10-nation
East-West disarmament talks
slated to start in Geneva March
15 in declaring America's readi
ness 'for safeguarded disarma
ment."
"It is hoped," the statement
said. "that this announcement by
the Soviet Union is an indication
of its willingness to participate in
the forthcoming negotiations in
the same spirit so that world ac
cord can be established through
concrete and verifiable measures
of disarmament, thereby removing
suspicions and building real secu
rity."
H-Bomb Satellites
WASHINGTON UP) Nuclear
scientist Ralph Lapp speculated
yesterday the Russians may be
working on plans to orbit hydro
gen bombs around the earth as
weapon satellites that could be
called down upon an enemy at
will.
Dr. Lapp, a consultant on atom
ic energy, told reporters this
thinking may be behind Premier
Nikita Khrushchev's talk yester
day of Soviet work on fantastic
weapons.

Khrushchev said the United
States "is aiming to overtake
the Soviet Union in rocket pro
duction in the course of five
years," but that the U.S.S.R.
meanwhile would not be stand
ing still.
He proposed (an automatic par-'
liamentary approval is certain)
a cut of 1.2 million men in the
armed forces, reducing the total
to 2,423,000, the lowest figure since'
1937. But at the same time he

Grand Jury
Cuts Parker
Investigation
BILOXI, Miss. (M—A spec
ial federal grand jury ended
sits investigation of the Mack
:Charles Parker lynching yes
terday without returning in
dictments in the 9-month•old
case.
Charles Long, of Gulfport, the
jury foreman, read the decision
to U.S. Dist. Judge Sidney Mize
that the basis of evidence pre
sented, we were unable to arrive
at any true bill."
The action apparently has
the effect of ending the Parker
case unless authorities uncover
new witnesses or new testimony.
Mize congratulated the jury on ,
its work during the deliberations
which started Jan. 4, saying he'
thought jurors had conducted'
themselves "diligently and fairly.";
He then recessed the jury until ,
the regular Feb. 25 term of feder-i
al court, cautioning members they
'might be called back sooner to
take up other matters.
A mob of hooded men dragged
Parker, 23, a Negro truck driver
from Lumberton, out of his sec
ond-floor jail cell at Poplarville
last April 25 and killed him. His
:bullet-pierced body was recovered
from the Pearl River 10 days later.
The lynching came two days
'before Parker's scheduled trial on
charges of raping a pregnant
I white mother. The woman and her
small daughter had been left in a
!stalled auto near Lumberton while
her husband sought a mechanic.

Asks for Study
Super Rocket
WASHINGTON (il 3 ) President Eisenhower yesterday
ordered a quick study of whether more money should be
pumped into a high priority effort to develop a super space
rocket.
Eisenhower also authorized overtime work to speed the
Saturn super boster project
U.S. scientists hope will lead to a
rocket engine far more powerful
than anything the Soviets are be
lieved to have used so far.
Sending these new instructions
to the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, the Presi
dent declared it is "essential to
press forward vigorously to in
crease our capability in high
thrust space vehicles."
Eisenhower's action came as a
followup to two special messages
he sent to Capitol Hill earliei in
the day. In those messages he:
*Asked Congress to concen
trate responsibility for the na
ition's peaceful space program ii
the civilian-run NASA.
•Informed Congress of his
plans to shift to NASA, the Army's
rocket research team, headed by
,German-born Dr. Wernher von
Braun.
Writing to T. Keith Glennan,
NASA chief, Eisenhower directed
him "to make a study to be com
pleted at the earliest date prac
ticable of the possible need for
