Dulles Contracts Armed Forces Ask More Missile Funds WASHINGTON (UPI)—Army, Navy and Air Force officials have asked Congress to give them much more money for missiles than President Eisenhower requested, it was disclosed today. The appeals, revealed in the heavily censored transcript of testimony given behind closed doors to a House appropriations subcommittee, were expected to provide fresh ammunition to critics who want Congress to put up billions of dollars more to speed development of long-range rockets. The subcommittee, which has been holding hearings since January, is expected to announce its actions on Eisenhower's $40,850,000,000 defense budget within a few days. Urges More Subs The 864-page transcript showed that: —Air Force officials favor more spending on the Atlas and Minuteman 5,000-mile missiles. One plan given to the subcommittee would boost outlays for these programs 651 million dollars in the 1960 fiscal year beginning July 1 and a total of $4,788,000,000 over an unspecified number of years. —A top Navy witness testified the budget should include "a lot more" submarines which could fire the Polaris 1,500-mile missile. Air Force officials favor more spending on the Atlas and Minute-man 5,000-mile missiles. One plan given to the subcommittee would boost outlays for these programs 651 million dollars in the 1960 fiscal year beginning July 1 and a total of $4,788,000,000 over an unspecified number of years. A top Navy witness testified the budget should include "a lot more" submarines which could fire the Polaris 1,500-mile missile. These subs cost about 100 million dollars each: The Army still would like money to begin production on the Nike-Zeus anti-missile missile. The Army wants $1,003,000,000 for Nike-Zeus. The budget would provide only 300 million dollars for research, development and testing. The witnesses generally were careful not to volunteer statements that the budget was too skimpy. But under questioning they frequently ventured the "personal" view that it should be bigger. Some also sniped at the plans of rival services. Push Own Missiles Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever. Air Force ballistic missile chief, said he rated a speed-up in the Atlas program as "the No. 1 course of action." Rear Adm. K. S. Masterson, head of the Navy's guided missile program, said the Polaris would be more important than the Atlas or the Strategic Air Command (SAC) in the years ahead. He said that by 1963 bases for EAC bombers would be so vulnerable to enemy attack that "the money we would be putting into SAC bombers in that period would be largely down the drain." Lt. Gen. Carter B. Magruder, Army deputy chief of staff, complained the Army budget did not contain adequate money for Nike-Zeus.

The three suspects, Michael J. Johnson, 21, Orin V. Moore, 26, and David Lee Knowles, 22, all of Los Angeles, were picked up by Glendale police at the request of the Anaheim department. The April robbery netted $500 worth of suits after a man entered the store posing as a customer and later left without making a purchase.

It was then that the loss was discovered. Gunderson managed to get the license number of the vehicle, however, and a record check led to the apprehension of the trio.

Quarles, Deputy Secretary of Defense. A Defense Department statement said a post mortem examination at the Army’s Walter Reed Hospital showed that Quarles died of “obstructive coronary sclerosis...a narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart.” “In effect,” the statement said, this “shut off the blood supply to the heart muscle.” Death of the 64-year-old Deputy Secretary confronted President Elsenhower with the rough task of replacing both of his top defense officials in a period of crisis and military danger. Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy hopes to leave the cabinet by the end of the year. Quarles had been considered his most likely successor and McElroy now must conduct an urgent search for a replacement. Observers forecast a complete reshuffling of the Pentagon’s top leadership. Even if McElroy stayed, they saw major changes in the defense hierarchy as a result of the deputy secretary’s death. Eisenhower’s search for a new defense secretary and deputy comes less than one month after he had to replace John Foster Dulles as secretary of state. Speculation centered on several men in and out of government as Quarles’ replacement. But McElroy said he had little hope of matching Quarles’ qualifications as scientist, mathematician and administrator. Quarles, 64, a thin, scholarly man with rare experience at the Pentagon, died in his sleep. Associates said he literally had worked himself to death trying to keep this country ahead in the development of modern weapons. Dulles Hit by Pneumonia Attack WASHINGTON (UPI) — Alling former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles contracted a mild case of pneumonia today.

Constant Pain Dulles has been receiving analgesics for relief of almost constant pain from the cancer attacks. It was disclosed earlier this week that Dulles now has to get around in a wheelchair. The State Department said he is able to walk but finds it more convenient to use the wheelchair. Today’s announcement said: “Former Secretary Dulles has contracted a mild case of pneumonia. His initial response to antibiotics has been satisfactory and his temperature is normal. He is, however, somewhat weaker.” The pneumonia attack followed one month after a medical report which said X-rays indicated Dulles had a malignant tumor in the lower part of his neck.
