Former Secty. of Defense,
Charles Wilson, Passes
NORWOOD, La. UP) — Charles
E. Wilson, Secretary of Defense
in the Eisenhower Administration
and former president of General
Motors, died at his plantation
home near here early Thursday.
He was 71.
Tom McKenzie, who manages
the 4,000-acre plantation, said the
coroner attributed death to a cor
onary thrombosis.
Wilson complained of a slight
case of indigestion McKenzie said,
and retired early.
Wilson was president of Gen

until December, 1952. He was
Secretary of Defense in the first
cabinet of former President Ei
senhower.
Under his presidency General
Motors became the largest single

output estimated at. more than
$10 billion.
He had lived quietly since leav
ing the government, spending
much of his time at the Louisiana
plantation.
An electrical engineer, he join
ed General Motors in 1919 as
chief engineer and sales mana
ger of the automoble division of
the Remy Electric Co., a GM sub
sidary. '
The Navy has doomed its light
er-than-air service. But defend
ers of the blimp claim that in
World War II 125 of these big
flying gasbags escorted 89,000
ships without the loss of a ship
to submarine action while under
their protection.

Nuclear Tests in
The Atmosphere
:
WASHINGTON Ito — American
nuclear tests in the atmosphere
will be necessary shortly if the
Soviets fail to accept President
Kennedy’s new challenge to halt
atmospheric shots, Sen. Henry M.
Jackson, (D-Wn.), said yesterday.
Jackson, who heads a Senate
House Atomic Weapons Subcom
mittee, said Kennedy was taking
a calculated, but relatively minor,
risk when he told the United Na
tions Monday this country and
Great Britain are prepared to sign
immediately a treaty to ban test
ing of all kinds. The Soviets
have rejected the proposed treaty.
Kennedy noted the West also
had proposed to end atmospheric
testing, without inspection or con
trol, “in order to save the human
race from the poison of radioactive
fallout.”
The Soviets' already have fired
15 atmospheric shots since they
broke the three-year moratorium
on tests. The United States has
set off two underground explo
sions.
Some fears had been expressed
by administration officials that
once the Soviets had completed
their series of tests they would
announce they were ready to ban
further atmospheric detonations
and thus force the United States
to reject their proposal or face
the possibility of falling behind
in nuclear weaponry.
Jackson said that while it will
be a long time before the results
of the Soviet explosions can be
assessed fully, he does not believe
U.S. superiority in the field thus
far has been threatened.
“But if the Russians continue
these tests, we are going to have
to make similar ones,” he said.
Defense Secty. McNamara
To Make Recommendations
On Defense Projects
SEATTLE (£> — Defense Sec
retary Robert McNamara said to
day he will make his recommend
ations to President Kennedy in
“four to six weeks” on several de
fense projects.
They include whether to speed
up the Dyna-Soar space-glider
program, increase B-70 supersonic
bombers spending, go ahead with
development of the mobile Min
uteman project, and buy another
wing of B-52 heavy bombers.
McNamara and other top De
fense Department officials visited
the Boeing Co. during the day to
discuss the B-52, Dyna-Soar and
Minuteman programs. Boeing
builds the B-52 and is prime con
tractor for the two others.
Nixon to Answer the
Big Question Tonight
LOS ANGELES W — Richard
M. Nixon steps before a televised
news conference tonight to answer
the big question—will he run for
governor of California next year?
Even his closest advisors profes
sed not to know in advance
whether it would be yes or no. At
least they weren’t talking.
Everything seemed ' to point
toward a campaign by the 1960
Republican Presidential nominee
to dump Democratic Gov. Edmund
G. Brown.
There was the careful staging
of the announcement, the steady
buildup of a “draft Nixon” cla
mor within the state GOP, little
hints here and there.
But, just as easily, puzzled
guessers could make out a sound
case for a decision by Nixon, 48,
not to chance his political future
with state voters who are better
than 3-2 Democratic.
