BIG U.S. FLEET TO JOIN NATO IN MANEUVERS

BY LLOYD NORMAN
(Chicago Tribune Press Service)

Washington, July 15-The United States will bolster North Atlantic treat organization [NATO] defenses during the critical European post-harvest season in late September, Pentagon sources said today.

A powerful atomic striking fleet of more than 80 warships, a regimental combat team of 8,000 marines, and other combat strength will be shifted to European waters at a time when Russia is keeping an unusually heavy number of troops on the western borders. Russia normally pulls troops out of the line for summer maneuvers but this year Russian strength is said to be at a peak.

Nearly Whole Fleet
Nearly all warships that can be released from coastal defense duties along the eastern seaboard will be sent to the North Atlantic early in September to participate in the biggest NATP naval exercise since World War II, Adm. Jerauld Wright, supreme allied Atlantic commander, told reporters at the Pentagon. The exercise will run from Sept. 19 to 28.
Wright estimated that 80 to 85 American ships will join 70 other warships from Britain, France, Canada, the Netherlands, and Norway in what is to be called Exercise Strike Back.
Wright, when asked by reporters about the timing of the year's largest scale naval exercise and the significance of the code name, declined to attach any special meaning to the maneuvers. He demurred when a reporter inquired why previous code names [Mariner and Mainbrace] had an innocuous sound, wile Strike Back had a "fighting sound."
"We just pick the names out of a hat," the admiral said.
Wright said, the naval exercises are held in late September because European harvests are over at the time and NATO military manpower is at a peak then because the call-up of conscripts and reservists occurs in the fall. Military strategists consider the post-harvest season as a dangerous period when European wars might break out.
Wright said that the big 6th fleet in the Mediterranean would carry out separate maneuvers in September with other NATO navies.
Vice Adm. Robert B. Pirie, commander of the United States navy's 2d fleet in the Atlantic and the striking fleet Atlantic will direct Exercise Strike Back and related naval maneuvers with British and Canadian warships on the way to and from the North Atlantic exercise.
Pirie will use the command ship Northampton as his flagship. The striking fleet will include the 70,000 ton aircraft carriers Forrestal and Saratoga, the air defense missile ships Boston and Canberra, the missile cruiser Macon which fires the Regulus robot bomber, the air defense missile destroyer Gyatt, two battleships, several 30,000 ton aircraft carriers, more than a score of submarines, and supporting ships.

JAMES M. COX, 87, DIES; RAN FOR PRESIDENT

Harding's Opponent Victim of Stroke
(Continued from first page)

field in 1898 when he purchased the Dayton Daily News.
In 1908, he was elected to Congress as representative from the third Ohio district and was reelected two years later. At the end of his second term he ran for governor and won. He served for three terms - 1913-1915, 1917-1919, and 1919-1921. He was defeated for the 1915-1917 term.
Harding, the Republican candidate, defeated Cox in the Presidential election by more than 7 million votes. Cox carried only the solid south.
Before starting his campaign in 1920, Cox went to Washington to confer with President Wilson, then ill in the White House. Until then he had been indifferent toward the league of nations, which was put into the treaty ending World War I only to be rejected by the senate. Cox came away from his conference with Wilson convinced the league was an instrument to perpetuate the peace.

Primarily a Newsman
He fought fiercely for the league in the race and never lost faith in its principle.
On the even of his 75th birthday in 1945, he pointed to World War II, then drawing to a close, and said:
"This war did not need to be. The conviction of that fact will grow as we demonstrate that an outlaw nation cannot run at large, and that disputes can be settled without resort to war.
"Time will reveal even more clearly than it has already done that the conspiracy which wrecked the project for peace after the first world war was the most tragic and sinful chapter in our history."
After losing the Presidential race, Cox quit active politics. In 1945 he refused appointment to the United States senate. He devoted his energies to his newspapers.
Cox considered himself primarily a newspaper man, despite his success in politics, and had strong opinions about the duty of the press.
As long as newspapers "give truth to the public, then we can depend on the common sense and patriotism of the mass of the people to keep us free," he said in 1949 at the dedication of a new plant of the Atlanta Journal.

SENATORS WAR OVER QUESTION OF IKE'S BRAINS

Capehart Rips Kerr's Remark as Slur
BY ROBERT YOUNG
(Chicago Tribune Press Services)

Washington, July 15-Sen. Kerr (D., Olka.) said on the senate floor today that President Eisenhower is without brains when it comes to government fiscal policy.
Sen. Capehart (R., Ind.) promptly challenged Kerr and drew applause from the visitors' galleries when he told him he should be ashamed for making such a remark. The two senators wrangled at length over the property of Kerr's statement.
Later, James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, was asked about Kerr's assertion and replied: "I would not dignify it with a comment."

Follows Fulbright Speech
The flare-up in the senate followed a speech by Sen. Fulbright (D., Ark.), chairman of the senate banking committee, in which he said that Treasury Secretary Humphrey had admitted his 1954 tax cut policy was a major factor in the price inflation of the last 18 months.
Fulbright told the senate that during his recent questioning by the senate finance committee Humphrey stated that inflation stemmed basically from a massive increase in spending on new industrial plants and equipment. The finance committee is investigating the nation's fiscal and monetary condition.
Fulbright recalled that in 1954 Humphrey advised Congress that one of the main purposes of the tax reduction was to stimulate such capital spending by industry.

Kerr Raps Capehart Bill
Fulbright then referred to Capehart's charge of a month ago when the finance committee opened its investigation that the inquiry was political. Capehart has introduced a bill to create a Presidential commission to study monetary and fiscal policies.
Kerr, a member of the finance committee who questioned Humphrey at length, assailed the Capehart bill, contending that any such commission appointed by the President would be expected to "establish a justification" of administration policies. Kerr said it made him shoulder to contemplate the findings that might be submitted by a commission investigating what "the President and his gang have perpetrated."
Fiscal experts, Kerr continued, could testify for months and the President "would remain just as uninformed as he is today."

Says None Can Help Ike
"No man can help Eisenhower study the fiscal policies of this government because no one can not do that without brains and he does not have them," the Oklahoma senator asserted.
Amid a burst of applause from the galleries, Capehart retorted that Kerr should be ashamed to make such a remark about the President on the senate floor.
"If I had made such a statement I would be so ashamed of it that, honestly, I doubt very much if I would feel like coming back on the floor," Capehart told Kerr.
"I meant every word I said in attacking the ability of the President to understand the fiscal policies of this administration," Kerr replied. "I didn't say the President has no brains at all. He is uninformed about the fiscal policies of this administration."

Won't Withdraw
Capehart suggested that Kerr's reference to the President's brains be stricken from the senate record. Kerr said he would have none of his remarks stricken.
Earlier, Fulbright had charged in his speech that the administration's policies are "persistently and unanimously directed to the benefit of one section of the economy" - big business. 
A few hours later, the White House disclosed that the President had ruled out at least for the current fiscal year any prospect of a tax cut for small business firms. A special cabinet committee on small business recommended a year ago that if the federal budget condition permitted it, the corporation tax should be reduced from the present 30 per cent to 20 per cent on corporate incomes up to $25,000 a year.
Rep. Cooper (D., Tenn.), house ways and means committee chairman, wrote to Mr. Eisenhower recently asking what action the administration has taken on the suggested tax cut and other cabinet committee recommendations to aid small businesses.
Mr. Eisenhower told Cooper it would therefore be ill advised to consider recommended tax relief for small business "because of the substantial revenue loss that it would entail."

Brundage Summoned
Meanwhile today, the house appropriation committee summoned Budget Director Brundage to explain a confidential economy order the President sent recently to the heads of federal departments and agencies. The directive called upon the departments and agencies to trim spending for the current 1958 fiscal year - originally budgeted at a record 71.8 billion dollars - by 2 billion or more.
Rep. Cannon (D., Mo.), committee chairman, announced that Brundage will be questioned at a closed session tomorrow. Cannon called the economy order "extraordinary and unprecedented." He said the committee wants to know what the order is all about and why it was kept secret from Congress.

WON'T QUIT JOB JARECKI WANTS TO TAKE OVER

Jack Clark, Wheeling township Democratic committeeman, reported yesterday the only way he'll vacate his elected post is if Mayor Daley, as county Democratic committee chairman, requests his resignation.
And, Clark said, he hasn't heard from Daley since a week ago when John T. Jarecki, former internal revenue collector, phoned Daley to report he was the new committeeman of Wheeling township and that trouble could be expected from some quarters in the township organization.
Clark said he hasn't resigned and has no intention of doing so. Jarecki yesterday declined to comment on any developments in his claim to the helm of the Wheeling township organization.
