force has received $10,000,000 this
year for a huge guided missile
proving ground in Florida. It
plans to ask Congress for $6,000,
000 more in 1951.
A hint of future planning,
which indicates the emphasis be
ing placed on guided missile de
velopment, was contained in the
report of hearings released Satur
day by the House military appro
priations sub-committee.
Assistant secretary of defense
McNeill told the lawmakers
“there is in progress for submis
sion to Congress the public works
bill for 1951. In that bill there is
a request for approximately $6,
000,000 for Banana River.”
The bureau of the budget on
March 23 made available to the
air force the second $5,000,000 in
stallment on the testing range
that will be used by the army,
navy and air force.
In passing legisation setting up
the range last year, Congress gave
the air force, which has been as
signed the responsibility for con
structing it, an original $5,000,000.
At that time Congress au

He was unhurt.
Newsmen quizzed the young

not jump after David because “it j
was too deep.”
“What did you think about i
when the train was going over i
you?”
“Nothing.”
“How did you know to lie down
between the tracks?”
“I just learned it myself.”

McCarthy Sheds
Immunity; Invites
Suits For Lihel
(Continued from Page One)
called on the Wisconsin Senator
to make the same statements
without cloaking himself in Sen
atorial immunity.
In a speech prepared for a
meeting of the Marine Corps
League, McCarthy said “I invite
the individuals whose names I
shall name to start their libel
suits, if a single word 1 say is not
true.” Then he proceeded to
charge that:
1. Lattimore—“A man common
ly known as the architect of our
Far Eastern policy” — is “selling
our state department” a program
“identical to the planks in the
platform of the communist party.”
He said this platform “will deliver
vast areas of the world to com
munist Russia.”
2. The Institute of Pacific Re
lations—an organization which
Jessup once headed — cashed
$3,500 in checks “representing
communist money,” and “must be
credited by the American people
as having . . . originated the myth
of the ‘Democratic’ Chinese com- i
munists.”
3. Service was “picked up by
the FBI in connection with the
theft" of secret government docu
ments, but instead of being in
dicted was later placed in charge
of personnel in the state depart
ment’s Far Eastern division.
Under immunity. McCarthy
has told the Senate he can prove
Lattimore is a Russian agent and
a present or former member of
the communist party; that Jessup
has an “unusual affinity for com
munist causes” and that “the com
munist affiliations of Service are
well known." McCarthy repeated,
none of those charges Saturday.
All three men have flatly and
vigorously denied McCarthy’s ac
cusations in full.
Formation of the Pontine
marshes near Rome with their
malaria mosquitoes is believed to
have hastened the downfall of the
Roman Empire.
