Kennedy's Plans
Says 'Drastic"
DETROIT (IP) Richard M. Nix
on, stepping up his atacks on the
Democratic administration, said
Friday President Kennedy's call
for self-censorship by the press
will encourage government offi
cials to conceal facts the public
has a right to know.
The former vice president, who
kept silent during the first 100
days Kennedy was in office, is on
a weeklong tour in which he is
critical of the man who barely
beat him in November.
He chose the Detroit Press Club
“an appropriate forum,” as he
called it to discuss a speech
Kennedy made to the nation's
publishers in which Kennedy
urged self-restraint when nation
al security is affected.
“The, plea of security,” Nixon
said “could well become a cloak
for errors, misjudgments and oth
er failings of government.
“The whole concept of a return
to secrecy in peacetime demon
strates a profound misunderstand-1
ing of the role of a free press as
opposed to that of a controlled
press.” I
Nixon had one word, “drastic,”
to describe Kennedy's proposals.

On Greece and Turkey The

Bomber
Needed for
U.S. Defense
WASHINGTON (/P) The
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee agreed urfanimously
yesterday that more manned
bombers are needed than Pres
ident Kennedy asked to defend
the nation while the unmanned
missile arsenaL is growing.
That was the effect of a vote
to add $525 million for 44 extra
bombers to a $12,499,800,000 au
thorization bill for missiles, air
craft and ships. Otherwise, the
committee went along with the
President on what is needed in
those fields.
The senators* vote followed
similar action last week by the
House Armed Services Com
mittee. When the House com
mittee approved a $12,368,000,-
000 authorization measure,
Chairman Carl Vinson, D-Ga.,
said the lime has not yet come
when principal reliance can be
placed on the intercontinental
ballistic missile.
•Tiie senators rejected a motion
by Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S, C..
to authorize $l6O million toward
future production of the Army’s
Nike-Zeus missile killer. The
money would have been used to
buy advance items if tests of the
anti-missile missile in the Pacific
this year are successful.
The committee took no action
on Air Force proposals to con
tinue development of the 870
supersonic jet bomber as a com
plete weapons system, rather than
cutting it back to an experimental
project as Kennedy asked. The
870 i: designed to fly 2,000 miles

Senate Passes Bill
For Military Bases
WASHINGTON (/P) The Senate passed a $879,684,750
military construction bill yesterday, geared to give the Ken
nedy administration the speed-up it requested in bases for the
missile and Polaris submarine programs.
The House has passed its own version of the authoriza-
tion bill. Differences will be
worked out by a conference com
mittee.
Approval was by voice vote,
after the bill had been buffeted
for hours in a hot debate over its
proposed $33 million, drastically
reduced program of family hous
ing for personnel at military
bases.
A voice vote defeated an
amendment by Sen. A. S. Mike
Monroney. D-Olka., calling for
12.234 additional units of fam
ily housing instead Of the 2,000
units the bill now would au
thorize. The administration had
remained outwardly neutral in
this fight.
As it passed, over vigorous pro
test from Monroney and others,
the bill would call a halt to the
military housing program, under
which homes for military per
sonnel have been built for years
by federally insured private en
terprise.
The construction bill author
izes programs, but separate leg
islation is needed to provide the
money.
The differences between the
House and Senate versions are
material, with the housing section
apparently the most controver
sial.
The House had voted for ihe
12.234 units of privately con
structed housing which the Sen
ate rejected. The Senate-ap
proved housing would be built
with direct appropriations.
As requested by President Ken
nedy, the Senate-passed version
would authorize an additional
$10.25 million for nine secret pro
jects in support of a speed-up in
the Polaris and antisubmarine
programs, and $l2O million more
to help arm the nation with nine
new Titan missile squadrons
instead of the six extra squad
rons proposed by the House.

Lawrence Urges
Party to Select
Good r 62 Slate
HARRISBURG (/P) Pennsyl
vania Democrats should pick the
best candidates available without
worrying about geographical fac
tors .in drafting their 1962 state
wide ticket, Gov. Lawrence said
yesterday.
But Lawrence at a news con
ference sidestepped questions on
whether he thought Mayor Rich
ardson Dilsworth of Philadelphia
and U.S. Sen. Joseph S. Clark,
also of Philadelphia, were front
runners for spots on the ticket.
Clark already has said he will
seek re-election with or without
the support of Democratic lead
ers. And there has been increased
speculation in recent weeks that
Dilworth "wants to run for gover
nor.
“I just hope the Democrats pick
the best man they can get,” Law
rence said.
The governor said he didn’t
want to comment at this time on
the acceptability of an all-Phila
delphia ticket next year.
Appropriations He reiterated
that any appropriation voted by
the legislature for which revenue
is not provided will be vetoed or
reduced.
