MAHON SAYS ADMINISTRATION
WITHHELD APPROPRIATIONS
WASHINGTON, UPS—Rep. Ma-i
hon (D-Tex) accused the admmis-'
tration today of withholding mon
ey appropriated for developing
missiles, and called in Defense of
ficials for an accounting.
Mahon heads a House Appro
priations subcommittee which
handles defense money allot
ments.
Summoned before that group
for a quickly called closed-door
session were Secretary of Defense
McElroy and William Holaday,
assistant to the secretary of mis

life range was filed by the Fish
and Wildlife Service at Fairbanks
yesterday.
It extends roughly from the
Canada-Alaska border west to the
Canning River and from the Arc
tic Ocean on the north as much as
140 miles to the south slopes of
the Brooks Range.
Seaton said the withdrawal
would preclude all forms of pub
lic land appropriation except that
mineral leasing and mining oper
ations are proposed after next
Sept. 1.
Hunting and taking of game
and fur trapping also would be
permitted in the area, he said, in
accordance with department reg
ulations and Alaskan game laws.
The large area, in which the
secretary said the population is
“negligible,” contains grizzly and
polar bears, dall sheep, wolverine
and large caribou. He said it also
includes numerous lakes and
marshes • which serve as nesting
grounds for large flocks of migra
tory waterfowl which are among
nearly 100 species of birds found
in ttie area.

sile development.
That action put the House one
jump ahead of the Senate on an
inquiry into where the United
States stands with relation to
Russia in the race to develop
space-traveling weapons.
A study is planned bv the Sen
ate Preparedness subcommittee
headed by Sen. Lyndon B. John
son (D-Tex), but it has not gone
beyond the staff inquiry stage.
Hearings start next week.,
Shortly before Mahon’s move
was announced, Johnson had
said the Senate group’s course
will be determined by the facts—
and not any political considera
tions.
We want to know why the lag
(in missile development) and what
can be done about it,” Mahon told
newsmen just before the House
■ hearing started.
Asserting the situation presents
the executive department with
“some of the gravest decisions of
our time,” Mahon said money ap
propriated by Congress in the
past “was withheld by the execu
tive from expenditure.”
Mahon was asked if he thinks
there will be any substantial in
crease in defense appropriations
as a result of missiles require
ments.
He indicated there will be some
increase but said: “There won’t
be a spending spree.”
Mahon’s group recently went to
the Pacific coast for a first-hand
study of missile developments
and to talk with scientists.
He said committee members
plan to go next to the missile fir
ing center at Cape Canaveral, Fla.
and to the Redstone Arsenal at
Hunsville, Ala., where the Army
is developing the Jupiter C.

hower yesterday the U.S. will be
able to supply intermediate range
