Truman devoted most of his talk
to party organization, saying that
“it is as necessary to the welfare
of our nation as any other portion
of our political setup.”
He said the Democratic party
“is of necessity made up of many
so-called ’fringe’ and ’splinter’
groups. But when its many fac-
tions get together—as they fre-
quently do— and decide what the
right principles are, for Democrat-

’Hasty Atom
Spending Hit
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 fl-Sen.
Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) sounded s
note of caution today against any
hasty “pyramiding” of atomic ex-
penditures to meet the threat of
Russian hydrogen bomb develop-
ments. ,
Hickenlooper, tap Republican
senator «a the Senate-House Atom- -
le Energy Committee, said in an
interview that the American atom-
ic program “is going along very
vigorously and I am not prepared
to say we should pyramid it.”
‘The Iowa senator thus added his
vote of confidence to President Ei-
senhower’s.statement Thursday 1
that this nation’s atomic strength
is “large and increasing steadily."
Eisenhower said that a system j
of priorities to being worked out
for military expenditures and in
some quarters this was interpreted '
as likely ta bring a stepup in re-
quests for atomic funds.
But Sen. Flanders (R-Vt) said in
a separate interview he thinks it
is possible this country has
reached a point of diminishing re-
tarns te atomic preparations.
He said that if 500 bombs were
enough to defeat any aggressor na-
tions, the accumulation of 5,000
bombs would not make this coun-
try 10 times as safe.
Although Eisenhower indicated
that budget balancing may be de-
layed because of defense expendi-
tures, Flanders said he in going
to submit to the new Hoover Com-
mission a plan for reorganizing the
Defense Department which he
thinks would save a lot of money.
He said this plan would call for
reassignment of missions among
the service branches, but declined
to discuss details.
