$155 Million Released
For Development Of
B-70 Supersonic Bomber
WASHINGTON, CPI—The Eisen
hower administration has released
$155 million for development of
the B-70 supersonic strategic
bomber.
The Defense Department re
leased the funds to the Air Force,
leaving unused only $29 million
of the money Congress had voted
for the program over administra
tion objections.
The move was interpreted to
mean that the Defense Depart
ment has virtually accepted the
decision of Congress to push pro
duction of the big bomber. The
$155 million may pay for 12 B-70
prototypes.

U.S. Will Defend Naval
Base at Guantnamo
WASHINGTON, UP*— President'
Eisenhower declared Tuesday the
U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo,
Cuba, is important to the defense
of the entire Western Hemisphere
and this country will take what
ever steps may be appropriate to
defend it.
The President’s declaration was
in a statement which took note
of the growing intimacy of Fidel
Castro’s government with Soviet
Russia and Communist China.
Thus it was a warning to the
Communist powers as well as
Castro not to believe the United
States can be bluffed into pulling
out of Guantanamo.
In giving Eisenhower’s state
ment to newsmen, presidential
press secretary James C. Hagerty
said Eisenhower wanted to make
this country’s policy position per
fectly clear “so there can be no
misunderstanding.”
