be made from countries in which
the United States has overseas
bases “the Soviet Union will take
appropriate measures, including
attacks against these bases.”
Will Go To United Nations
The President proposed to take
the issue of aerial security pa
troling to the United Nations.
“Should it prove impossible be
cause of the Soviet attitude, to
come to grips here in Paris with
this problem and the other vital
issues threatening world peace, I
am planning in the near future to
submit to the United Nations a
proposal for the creation of a
United Nations aerial surveillance
to detect preparations for attack,”
Eisenhower said.
“This plan I had intended to
place before this conference.”
Reports of the speeches at to
day’s sessions came from spokes
men for the four power who at
tended the sessions. The American
spokesman said Khrushchev, in
speaking about the spy plane is
sue, at one point raised his arms
above his head and declared:
“As God is my witness, my
hands are clean and my soul is
pure.”
Khrushchev, as a Communist, is
a professed atheist.
Eisenhower rejected what he
called a Khrushchev ultimatum.
This evidently referred to Khrush
chev’s demands.
Beside Khrushchev and Eisen-'
hower, "Prime Minister MacMillan
of Britain and President De Gaulle
of France were at today’s session.
Khrushchev insisted time and
again that the United States and
Eisenhower — must denounce
such actions and express regrets
for them.
President Eisenhower in a state
ment later said the United States
came to the meeting to consider
important problems and thus felt
the question of international sur
veillance should be dropped. This
statement added:
“My words were seconded and
supported by my Western col
leagues, who also urged Mr.
Khfushchev to pursue the path of
reason and common sense and to
forget propaganda. Such an atti
tude would have permitted the
conference to proceed. Mr.
Khrushchev was left in no doubt
by me that his ultimatum would
never be acceptable to the United
States.”

resistance in event of attack —
would be left with a defending
force of 33 fighter planes.
“For many months, it has been
public knowledge that the Rus
sians have more than two dozen
bases along the coast, which could
easily be reached by medium
range ballistic missiles. Military
officials familiar with the situa
tion have implored that offense
ballistic missile sites be con
structed in Alaska.”
But, said Egan, . instead of
strengthening Alaska’s “already
inadequate defense . . . the mili
tary has followed a policy of
steady retreat.”
“First Nome, then the Aleutian
Islands have been abandoned, os
tensibly in line with the so-called
“heartland’ concept. Now, appar
ently, this concept too has been
abandoned and the few thousand
military personnel remaining in
Alaska, not to mention the resi
dents of an integral part of the
nation, are to be considered
expendable.”
“Millions of dollars have been
spent in Alaska and across north
ern Canada in the construction of
warning systems premised on the
knowledge that additional minutes
would be gained to prepare for an
aggressor. Now, in this latest re
versal of form, the Air Force
would cut back by more than 40
per cent the very interceptor units
that could gain additional pre
cious minutes for preparation.”
He added:
“I do not intend to dwell on the
fact that this announced reduction
in deterrent strength comes at a
time when Premier Khrushchev
is daily giving forth with ever
more menacing threats of attack
against nations whose bases are
used by the United States in spy
missions, which the President has
stated publicly will continue.”
Since the writing of Egan’s let
ter, the President stated at the
Paris summit conference that
American spy flights over the So
viet Union would be discontinued.
But the Governor, in his Saturday
letter, asked Gates about the
Khrushchev statements:
“Are .these statements a mere i
bluff, or do they reflect intent,
I would not presume to know the
answer. I know only that it would
appear to be a most illogical time'
to slash the strength of the de
fensive forces closest to the prob
able line of attack.”

Congressmen Tell
Defense Eliminate
‘String Savers’
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON, WV-The House
Appropriations Committee told
■the Defense Department Friday
to reappraise its construction pro
gram in the light of the space age
and to get rid of “string savers”
and “empire builders.”
Its criticism of Department con
struction plans was contained in
a report approving $885,168,000
in, new funds for military con
struction projects in the United
States and overseas. This is $302,
832,000 less than President Eisen
hower requested.
“All too frequently,” the com
mittee said, “the services find
themselves in the insupportable
position of building facilities
which at best are only partly uti
lized or constructing bases in sup
port of so-called weapons of the
future which never materialize
into operational equipment.”
The appropriations group said
it was deeply concerned over over
seas military housing projects and
noted the existence abroad of fair
ly new housing units which are
not being used.
The committee called for action
“to' eliminate the ‘string savers’
and ‘empire builders’ who insist
on holding each piece of property
whether or not there is a valid
requirement and blithely request
new facilities with little or no
consideration given to those avail
able in their own q/r other military
services.”
Lt. Wagner arrived this mor
ning from Ladd AFB in a T33 jet
to help with the final plans for
the Armed Forces Day program.
SCHOOL ORCHESTRA SHINES
AT JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM
The annual spring Prom, spon
sored by the Junior Class of the
High School, was held on Friday
evening, and all who attended re
port unusually attractive decora
tions, carrying out the Japanese
Garden motif, complete with local
cherry blossoms, parasols and
fans.
The School Orchestra, which
played in public for the first time,
was a real treat, and they show
promise of putting on some good
music for dances at school next
winter.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By Olai Halverson
The star shower of 1899 was
quite naturally anticipated with
much eagerness but it fell far
short of the brilliant displays of
1866 and 1833.
The Andromids radiate from
the orange-gold star on the foot
of Andromeda during the last
week in November. These are best
seen during the evening. They are
called the Biela meteors and bring
to mind the interesting history of
the late Biela comet.
Many hundreds of these radiant
points have now been discovered.
The meteors which appear in a
direct line to the eye appear to
have the longest trails, but their
paths are parallel. The illustra
tion in perspective of the trains
coming forward from a point on
the horizon illustrates this.
Meteors, which represent the
wreckage which comets strew
along their orbits, are not visible
until they strike our atmosphere.
