Record Peace Budget
O7f $478 Billion Passes
Unanimously in House,

Lays Stress
On Limited
War Forces
Approves Total Less
Than Kennedy Asked
WASHINGTON ()-A unani-
mous House vote sent-to the Sen-
ate yesterday a record peacetime
outlay of $47.8 billion to modern-
ize and bolster America's armed
forces at home and overseas.
The spending blueprint contin-
ues to stress the buildup of con-
ventional and limited war forces.
Yet more than 18 per cent of the
total is earmarked for strategic
retaliatory forces, including 200
more Minuteman intercontinental
missiles and six more Polaris sub-
marines.
The 388-0 roll call came afterI
the House defeated several moves
to amend the bill. Among those
slapped down was a vigorous at-
tempt by Armed Services Commit-
tee Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga)
to knock out a limit on the amount
of repair and conversion work that
can be done in naval shipyards.
The total voted for the year
starting next July 1 is $67.5 mil-
lion less than President John, F.
Kennedy requested, reflecting some
cuts and additions by the House
Appropriations Committee. But it
is $1.3 billion more than Congress
provided the military for the cur-
rent fiscal year.
The measure provides only for
strictly military programs, includ-
ing research, development and val-
uation of new defense instruments.
More billions will be provided in
later measures for military con-
struction, civil defense and foreign
military aid.
The bill provides funds for keep-
ing half of the Strategic Air Force
on 15-minute alert for retaliatory
strikes. Also kept in was $171 mil-
lion for development of the con-
troversial RS-70 reconnaissance
strike bomber plus $52.9 million
to speed research for the ultra-
high performance radar needed to
make the plane a usable weapon.

GEMINI:
Unit Seeks
Astronauts
WASHINGTON (P) - The Na-
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration said yesterday it will
choose up to 10 new astronauts
in the next few months to fly two
man Gemini spacecraft.
The new astronauts will be
drawn from the ranks of experi-
enced jet test pilots-preferably
those now engaged in flying high
performance aircraft.
They nmust have attained experi-
mental flight test status through
the military service, or by flying
for a private company or for
NASA programs such as the X-15,
or must have graduated from a
military test pilot school.
They must also have a college'
degree in the physical or biologi-
cal sciences or in engineering. The
age limit is 35, and the height
limit 6 feet.
The Gemini spacecraft, first of
which is to be delivered to NASA
next year, will weigh more than
three tons, or almost twice the
weight of the Mercury capsule. It
will be launched by a Titan II
rocket.

Army Vows
To Cut Profit
On Missiles
WASHINGTON (P)-The Army
pledged yesterday to cut down
some of the costly pyramiding of
profits by middle men in its mis-
sile programs.
But Lt. Gen. John H. Hinrichs,
ordnance chief, and Assistant Sec-
retary of the Army Paul R. Igna-
tius told critical Senate investiga-
tors it is a mistake to judge the
reasonableness of a missile maker's
profits solely on the basis of how
much it costs him to do a com-
plete job.
The Senate Investigations Sub-
committee announced both men
would be called back some time
next week for more quizzing. The
subcommittee is investigating prof-
its the Army paid Western Electric
Co. and Douglas Aircraft Co. as
the two big contractors which de-
veloped and produced the anti-
aircraft Nike missiles system.
Hinrichs announced plans to es-
tablish an Army ordnance field
office at Western Electric's con-
trol center to help run the now
developing Nike Zeus long-range
missile program.
Ignatius said he would recom-
mend that the Pentagon consider
establishing special -rules for fig-
uring a fair profit for holders of
prime contracts and chief subcon-
tracts.

Claims Basic
Obj ectives
Agreement
By WHITNEY SHOEMAKER
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON - President
John F. Kennedy proclaimed peace
yesterday with "big steel."
Placated by victory last week
in his battle on price-boosting
steel manufacturers, Kennedy said
there is no room for hostility or
vindictiveness. What's more, his
administration and leaders of in-
dustry "are in basic agreement
on far more objectives than we
are in disagreement."
While he was forgiving, Kenne-
dy wasn't wholly forgetting his ad-
ministration's role in the sequence
of events which led steel producers
to rescind their $6-a-ton price in-
creases.
A grand jury investigation of
whether major steel companies
may have violated antitrust laws
will go on, Kennedy said, and the
government will continue stressing
its position against labor-manage-
ment contracts that could breed
inflation.
His main theme, however, was
one of harmony.
"Let me make it clear," he said
in a prepared announcement,
"that this administration harbors
no ill will against any individual,
any industry, corporation or seg-
ment of the American economy."
He referred to the announced
steel price boosts as a blunder that
was rectified by revoking them.
"When a mistake has been re-
tracted and the public interest
preserved, nothing is to be gained
from further public recrimina-
tions," he said.
Kennedy wasn't asked, nor did
he volunteer, what he and Roger
M. Blough, board chairman of
United States Steel, discussed at
a White House meeting Tuesday
evening.

U.S. Sets
New Offer
In Geneva
By The Associated Press
GENEVA - The United States
proposed yesterday that the world
disarm by means of modern inven-
tory control techniques similar toT
those used by big corporations.1
The draft treaty submitted to
the 17 nation general disarmament
conference alms at a world which
has cast its weapons away through
three carefully enforced stages.
American Ambassador Arthur H.
Dean said the 35-page documentj
"truly beats the swords into plow-
shares." Then peace would be'
maintained by a United Nations'
force so strong "that no state can
challenge it," he added.
Kennedy Proposals
The draft elaborates on propos-
als made by President John F.
Kennedy to the United Nations
last September. Kennedy told his
news conference in Washington
the draft is an attempt to achieve
a breakthrough in negotiations
now stalemated.
The program emphasizes the
simultaneous buildup of United
Nations peace keeping machinery
as balanced arms reduction goes
forward.
Dean said the treaty outline pro-
vides a final solution of the nu-
clear weapons problem, the preser-
vation of outer space for peaceful
purposes and the adoption of
measures to avoid the risk of war
"by accident, miscalculation, fail-
ure of communications or surprise
attack."
Cool Reaction
The Communists reacted coolly
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian A. Zorin refrained from
commenting inside the conference
room itself. Later he told newsmen
the American document "does not
seem to contain much that is
new."
Kennedy volunteered his en-
dorsement of United States efforts
at Geneva in the news conference,
but newsmen peppered him with
questions about nuclear testing, an
issue in deadlock at Geneva while
the United States prepares to fol-
low Soviet suit by resuming in-
the-air shots.
Kennedy said no specific date
has been set for the start of the
United States test series, to be
held in the Pacific, but the gen-
eral timing remains as previously
announced.
"Of course we shall proceed"
with testing unless the Soviets
agree to the western proposal for
a test ban treaty with internation-
al inspections, he said.
Kennedy has not heard of a
proposal, which a reporter said
the Soviet representative at Gen-
eva, Semyon Tsarapkin, had made
to a women's delegation, offering
l to negotiate a test ban treaty if
the United States would close down
one of its overseas missile bases.

SCOTLAND YARD:
Spy-Catcher Prepared
To Bring In Defectors
LONDON (M-Scotland Yard armed its top spy catcher with ar-
rest warrants yesterday and told him to bring in Guy Burgess and
Donald Maclean, British turncoat diplomats, if they ever show up
from Soviet Russia.
The question was: how, where and when?

defected to the Soviet Union 11 years ago next month, were plan-

NEW ORLEANS OP)-A Roman

the same penalty.
"If she is truly excommunicated

too, should be excommunicated."
Gaillot said "my beliefs are in
exact concurrence with my wife."
Archbishop Rummel has ordered

diocesan parochial and private
schools, effective next fall.
Gaillot said he believed his wife
had done no wrong- positively,
not in any way."
