job.”

Rep. Cole of Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee Proposes Joint
Canadian-American Defense Pact
NEW YORK, UP)—Rep. W. Ster
ling Cole (R-NY) urges an Am
erican-Canadian defense pact to
ward off any enemy attack
against the North American con
tinent.
Cole, chairman of the Senate
House Atomic Energy Committee,
said such a pact should be “under
the authority of the United Na
tions, comparable in purpose,
scope and organization with the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion.”
Cole said his proposed defense
organization shoifld have a su
preme commander with Canadian
and American land, sea and air
forces under him.
“I submit that all other con
siderations notwithstanding,” Cole
said, “it would be suicidal for
Canada and the United States not
to recognize the new dimensions
to sovereignty brought by the
threat of atomic and hydrogen
warfare.”
Cole said it was questionable
whether the Soviet Union “could
now mount an attack of such in
tensity and scope that our ability
to retaliate would be eliminated.”
“But three or four years from
now,” he added, “the Soviets will
be able to' launch a saturation at
tack against our nation—an at
tack so massive that our ability
ultimately to prevail may be open
to grave question.”
Cole said a 100 per cent defense
against assault is impossible but
a strong defense would “inflict
such losses on raiding formations
that an enemy will in all prob
ability be dissuaded ... and be
kept from dealing us a mortal
blow.”

Committee Investigator
Admits “Cropping”
Controversial Picture
WASHINGTON, UPi-^Iames Jul
iana, an investigator for the Mc
Carthy committee, testified today
he ordered the printing of a con
troversial “cropped” photograph
showing Secretary of the Army
Stevens and Pvt. G. David Schine
alone.
He acknowledged the print was
from a more extensive picture
showing also Air Col. Jack T.
Bradley.
Juliana said he had ordered en
largements of both the picture of
Stevens and Schine alone, and a
picture showing the two with
Bradley.
Juliana said he delivered the
photograph showing Schine and
Stevens alone to the Senate com
mittee investigating the McCar
thy-Army row because he thought
that was what the committee had
wanted.
Prodded by Chairman Mundt as
to whose “specific decision” it
was to bring to the investigators
the picture showing only Stevens
and Schine, Juliana replied:
“That was my decision.”
Juliana was called to the wit
ness chair after Sen. McCarthy
had spoken up at the hearings on
his row with Army officials and
declared that Juliana had altered
the picture.
In other developments:
....I. Army Counsel Joseph N.
Welch demanded that McCarthy
be called to the witness chair as
soon as Secretary Stevens finishes
his testimony. Mundt told Welch
the committee would determine
the order of the proceedings.
2. Schine, in brief testimony,
said that after refreshing his
memory overnight he though he
had given an accurate account
Thursday o'f his part in the photo
episode. That part was chiefly to
furnish the original picture. He
was excused from the witness
chair but is to be back later for
more general testimony.

Biggest Money Bill Of
Year, 29 Billions, Half
Way Through Congress
WASHINGTON, LJV—The big
gest money bill of the year —
nearly 29 billion dollars for de
fense—was half through its con
gressional journey today with the
unanimous and almost dispute
free endorsement of the House.
What controversy there was re
volved mainly around a non-fin
ancial matter: an effort to limit
the President’s authority with re
spect to American troops move
ments abroad. And this was
knocked down yesterday on a 214
37 standing vote.
Then the congressmen sent the
big measure to the Senate by
rollcall, 377-0.
The $248,684,250,486 provided
in the annual Defense Department
appropriation bill is $1,202,804,
514 less than President Eisen
