SENATE APPROVES $48.5
BILLION DEFENSE BILL
WASHINGTON (fl — Unanimous
Senate approval of a massive $48.5
billion defense bill moved the rec
ord peace time appropriation back
to the House yesterday.
There, leaders were expected to
send the bulky measure to the
usual compromise session of a
Senate-House Conference Commit
tee.
The bill returns to the House
with nearly $590 million in Senate
increases over what the House
originally voted. The differences
must be resolved before the bill
goes to President Kennedy.
Most of the debate centered
around futile attempts of Repub
lican leader Everett Dirksen of
Illinois and Sen. Wm. Prcxmire of
Wisconsin, to cut out an extra
$320 million voted by the Senate
Appropriations Committee to
hasten development of the big jet
reconnaissance strike aircraft
known as the RS-70.
Both senators were defeated by
wide margins as they tried to
slice RS-70 margins back to the
$171 million asked by President
Kennedy and Secretary of Defense
Robert McNamara to continue
limited development of the huge
experimental aircraft.

MICKEY ROONEY
STILL HAS FRIENDS
HOLLYWOOD W — Mickey
Rooney is finding that he doesn’t
lose his friends as easily as he lost
his money.
They began rallying to his aid
after he filed for bankruptcy Tues
day. He claims he’s broke and
$464,914 in debt.
One of Rooney’s creditors, at
torney Robert A. Neeb of Los An
geles, said the 39-year-old actor
could forget a $5,500 bill. Neeb
represented Rooney’s fourth wife,
Elaine, in her divorce suit.
“I hope you will look upon me
as a friend and not as a claimant.”
Rooney reportedly has earned
$12 million in 30 years of show
business. He blames his financial
condition on bad counsel and bad
judgment.
KENNEDY’S JETLINER
INSPECTED FREQUENTLY
WASHINGTON UF) — The White
House said Wednesday President
Kennedy’s jet, the same type air
craft that crashed after takeoff
from New York last March, is in
spected frequently and no prob
lems have been uncovered.
Pierre Salinger, press secretary,
told of the checkups when asked
if any special attention had been
given the plane as a result of a
Federal Aviation Agency report on
a possible cause of the New York
crash, which killed 95 persons.
The FAA said Wednesday the
crash might have been caused by
loss of a small bolt from a control
mechanism. The FAA sent mes
sages to all users of the Boeing 707
jet advising them of the possibility.
Airsickness hits five times as
many women as it does men.

Soviets Reject
All Proposals
For Disarmament
GENEVA Iff) — The Soviet
Union categorically rejected yes
terday virtually all Western pro
posals for general and complete
disarmament,
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian A. Zorin lashed the Unit
ed States and Britain as the 17
nation disarmament conference
went into a month-long recess.
Zorin accused the United States
of double dealing by making
speeches about peace and disarma
ment in the talks — now three
months old — and at the same time
taking steps leading to a worsening
of international tensions outside
the conference.
U.S. Ambassador Arthur Depn
expressed regret at the tone of
Zorin’s speech, and rejected his
assertions.
“The Soviet delegate’s statement
is not true,” Dean countered.
U.3. Will Bolster Laos Economy
VIENTIANE, Laos — The

U.S. Ambassador W i n t h r o p
Brown said $18 million will be de
posited in the National Bank of
Laos as soon as possible. Monthly
American contributions of $3 mil
lion were suspended last February.

U.S. AGAINST ONE MAN
LEADERSHIP IN LAOS
WASHINGTON WB — The United
States is working to head off a
situation that would put pro
Communist Prince Souphanouvong
in temporary control of Laos’ new
coalition government late this
month.
The two other members of the
three-man regime are scheduled to
be out of the country, thus leaving
! the Red Prince at the helm during
the early pangs of the effort to
turn the war-shattered little king
dom into a neutral nation.
U.S. officials said that at the
very least they considere it bad
psychology to leave command —
even if only nominal — in the
hands of just one member of the,
ruling group at this budding stage
of the coalition.
ASTRONAUTS MAY LAND
IN NEW MEXICO DESERT
TEMPE, Ariz. iff) — Future
American astronauts may land in
the New Mexico desert instead of
the ocean.
Dr. Russell K. Sherburne, chief
scientist at White Sands Proving
Grounds in New Mexico, said in
an interview that as space vehicles
become more sophisticated, land
recovery will be preferable to
water.
He said orbital vehicles hit the
water at a speed of about 30 feet
per second and safe ground landing
could be made at 20 feet per sec
ond.
Although Sherburne did not ela
borate, his reference to the New
Mexico desert apparently was
made because of facilities at White
Sands and the wide open space of
the desert.
