Wilson Says
Ike Agrees
On Budget
Refutes New Reports
Of Differing Opinion
WASHINGTON (A) - Secretary
of Defense Charles E. Wilson said
yesterday "there is no difference
of opinion whatsoever" between
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and himself on a proposed new
budget system.
Published reports based gn a
congressional hearing record re-
leased Sunday said President Ei-
senhower and Wilson did not see
eye to eye on the system, under
which Congress would appropriate
operating funds for government
departments strictly on a year-to-
year basis.
The reports were based on Wil-
son's recent testimony before a
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee.
Wilson Appears
Wilson appeared at a closed
meeting of the group July 1 and a
transcript of the testimony was
made public by the subcommittee
Monday.
In a statement issued yesterday,
Wilson said "it should be noted
that Hoover Commission recom-
mendations and legislative pro-
posals to implement them were
not under consideration" by the
subcommittee when he appeared
before it.
"The subject matter under dis-
cussi'on at the time was the so-
called partial financing of pro-
curement," Wilson said.
One Reference
"I made only one passing refer-
ence to the accrued annual ex-
penditure proposal."
Under this proposal, govern-
ment departments would be given
contract authority only for pro-
jects extending beyond one year.
They now get the actual cash for
such programs, and the appropri-
ations are carried over from year
to year.
"The Department of Defense i
making an intensive study of
means by which this method of
b'udgeting accrued annual expen-
ditures might to best advantage
be applied to its complex procure-
ment program," Wilson said.
Determination in Effect
"As a matter of fact, our cur-
rent determination to live within
the 38 billion expenditures esti-
mated in the President's budget
last January is in effect carrying
out a budget system based on ac-
crued annual expenditures.
"There is no difference of opin-
ion whatsoever between the Presi-
dent and myself in regard to this
matter."
Flash Flood
Breaks Dams,
Kills One Man
LAS VEGAS, N. W. (mP)-A flash
flood roared out of the mountains
northwest of here early yester-
day, taking at least one life and
breaking three small dams In its
fury.
The victim, the Rev. Emil La-
Porte, 41 years old, was found
drowned yesterday afternoon a
mile downstream from where his
car was washed off a road into a
gully.
SThe Rev. Mr. LaPorte's daugh-
ter, Laura, 10 years old, was travel-
ing with her father and was be-
lieved drowned. Her body had not
been found.
Rev. Mr. LaPorte was a minis-
ter at the Southwest Bible Fellow-
ship in Las Vegas, N. M.
He was driving near Sapello, a
small community north of Las
Vegas, when run-off water from
2.79 inches of rain swept his car
from the road.

VIENNA, Ga. 0) - Flags across
the nation and on ships at sea
°luttered at half-staff yesterday
while former Sen. Walter F.
George (D-Ga) was laid to rest
in a sun-dappled cemetery.
Fellow citizens from offices high
and low heard him eulogized -as a,
just man with a heart full of sym-
pathy and humility before God.
Sen. George was an unusual
senator. He could influence votes
by making a speech.
George Rated
It's surprising, since speeches
seem to roll interminably on, how
few senators would rate this sim-
ple epitaph:
"His talk changed votes."
Lest you think this a sardonic
view of an ear-weary reporter,
let's rustle up official backing.
A booklet put out by the Senate,
"Our American Government," at-
tempts to answer 291 questions on
how this wonderful contraption
works.
Question No. 140 goes like this:
"Q. Is legislation much influ-
enced by oratory?"
"A. Not much."
Yet Sen. George of Georgia, who
died Sunday at his home in Vien-
na, Ga., six months after winding
up 34 years in the Senate, was the
exception."
Influence Rare
- Sen. Carl Hayden (D-Ariz) re-
cently was discussing how rarely
oratory influences legislation, and
why he seldom bothers to make
speeches.
He pointed out that on appro-
priations bills, which he handles,
policies have been set, the com-
mittee has collected the facts and.
he said talk is a waste of time.
All this characterized' Sen.
George's work in Washington
while he strove for peace in a
troubled world as chairman of the
powerful Foreign Relations Com-.
mittee. He favored a strong bi-
partisan foreign policy and was
admired alike by Republicans and
members of his own Democratic
party.
Henry Cabot Lodge, United
States ambassador to the United
Nations, was present as President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's personal
representative, along with 25 sen-
ators and two representatives who
flew down from Washington.

,Reveal: Atom Stockpiles
VASHINGTON (A) - A routine Army explanation of its need for
money to build snack bars and recreational facilities at six bases may
have touched upon the location of secret places where atomic wea-
pons are stockpiled.f
In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, Brig.
Gen. William R. Shuler, Army construction director, was asked to ex-
plain why the military needed more than a million dollars for off
duty lounging and entertainment facilities at bases operated for
the armed forces special weapons project.
Snack Bars, Facilities Needed
Shuler replied that the ."snack bars and recreational type of
facilities" were needed in these places because men stationed there
are on "24 hour mission . .. and'~
are not allowed passes, in gen- OPERA PRODUCTION

Elsewhere he said that there
was a "necessity" for personnel
at the bases to practice "sti&&~e~ d

had prompted the Army to take
measures to discourage men on"
duty to "seek entertainment offh
base in undesirable environ-
