Defense Secretary Wilson Takes Rest
From Senators Aroused by ‘Phony’
By ELTON C. FAY 1
QUANTICO, V*., UP—Harried
Charles E. Wilson was off today
on a meditative fishing trip in
Canada where there are no sena
tors irate over words like
“phony.”
The secretary of defense con- |
eluded his annual four-day ses
sion with the civilian and military
chiefs at the marine base here
yesterday. He saUi it was a “very
good conference.” then left for a
stay in Canada until mid-week.
Behind him he left the eaplana
tion that he had not meant to in- j
suit any senators when he used
the word “phony” in connection
with a discussion of senatorial
efforts to vote additional funds
for the Air Force He said Satur

Invites Queen Elizabeth
To Visit in 1956

Louis St. Laurent today invited
Queen Elizabeth 11 and the Duke
of Edinburgh to visit Canada tn

Canadian officials said that St.
Laurnet invited the Queen to open
the multi million dollar St Law

completed in that year.
Informants did not indicate if
the Queen accepted
St, Laurent m in London for the
Commonwealth Prime Minister*
Conference opening Wednesday
day he was “partly” misquoted or
► --—
misunderstood, but told news
men: “I don’t blame you men too
much. I blame myself."
He meant the “phony," he said,
to refer to a reporter’s question
rather than to the senatorial ac
tion. But he stuck to his conten
tion that the additional Air Force
funds are not needed.
The word touched off a terrific
storm in the Senate, facing a vote
this week on its Appropriates
Committee’s addition of $1,160,
000,000 for more planes, bases
and men.
Never before, during such oc
casions as his 1954 reference to
bird dogs and labor, had Wilson
ever displayed any more than a
resigned, humorous concern over
impact of his off-hand answers to
questions
But this tame, reaction frortf
some quarter obviously upset him.
He had only a tmy trace of his
usual grin Saturday when he
turned away after telling news
men he didn’t think another meet
ing with them at Quantico waa
necessary—and that he would
rather go to church Sunday than
“face another sesaton with you."
He is scheduled to appear Fri
day before the Senate subcommit
tee investigating air power, The
group, headed br Sen Symington
