Will Explore Controversy On Air Alert WASHINGTON (UPI) — Chairman George H. Mahon said today the controversy over whether some U.S. bombers should be on airborne alert will be explored fully by his House defense appropriations subcommittee. - • The Texas Democrat said he has not taken a side.in the debate on the issue, but has been “pushing” the Air Force for statistics and other data so his subcommittee can decide whether money is needed now, and how much. “We need to know more about i,t than - anybody seems to know now,” Mahon told a reporter. However, Rep. Daniel J. Flood (D-Pa.l, a member of Mahon’s panel, said emergency funds should- be appropriated at once to keep one-third of the Strategic Air bombers in the air at all times. Flood estimated this would cost one billion dollars. If the Eisenhower administration doesn't ask for an amergency appropration, he said, he would try to add the funds to the defense monev bill for the government year beginning next July 1. The congressman said SAC bombers now are “sitting ducks ' knd posed an invitation to a “trigger-happy” enemy to start a 'missile war. Contrary to Flood's view, Defense Department officials feel there is no need today to keep SAC bombers airborne-although there may be in the future. Other congressional news: States Rights: Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) of the House Judiciary Committee predicted the House would approve a measure he opposes to revive state sedition laws and prevent federal laws from overturning state statutes. Rep. Edwin E. Willis iD-La.l, head of a judiciary subcommittee that okayed the legislation Thursday, also forecast passage. Jobless: -AFL-CIO President George Meany urged Congress to provide temporary unemployment payments to two million jobless workers not receiving any benefits. He said in effect that a oneyear extension of emergency unemployment payments proposed by House Democratic leaders would sidestep the reel issue. ' Sup fe m e Court: Chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) of the Senate Judiciary Committee introduced seven bills to check the “disastrous trend” of recent Supreme Court decisions in internal security cases. Eastland said the court had acted “without any basis whatever except its own naked thirst forpower/’ K. Os d.

Sees Failure For Any Sneak Attack By Reds WASHINGTON (UPD — Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy believes any attempt by Russia to launch a sneak attack on the free world would be doomed to failure. McElroy told a news conference late Thursday that it would be “alrhbst impossible” to carry out the necessary massive preparations and launch a simultaneous attack on thousands of targets without being detected. He said this element of protection against surprise attack would hold into the foreseeable future. Warns of Global War The defense secretary also warned that if the Soviets start hostilities in the West Berlin area' they could be triggering Wpfld War 111. / McElroy made it plain that he did not at this moment expect war over Berlin. In fact, he said the situation thcrewas not now as lethal as some previous crises faced during the cold war. But he said that Berlin was "potentially very inflammatory” just as Quemoy Island and the Middle East were last year. His warning about global war came when he was asked why the United States continues its military manpower cuts in the face of a looming military crisis. No Limited NATO War In measured tone, the secretary stated that “it has been clearly understood as the policy of this government not to regard a limited war as a possibility in the NATO area." It was “extremely doubtful” that there could be a limited war in the Berlin area, he said, and so "large numbers” of ground forces would not be required. T “I don’t see how you could avoid involving the Russian forces” if conflict broke out in West Berlin and in surrounding East Germany, he said- Pointedly, he added: "We .don’t see ourselves fighting Russia in a limited way." Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.
