"But," the newspaper adds, "Americans. who believe in fair play must agree that Senator (James) Eastland and his asso- ciates had no moral right to bring Mr. Norman under suspicion by the release of testimony at a con- gressional hearing testimony given under circumstances which did not allow Mr. Norman either ito confront his accusers or defend himself against their accusa- tions. , .

Macmillan and four of his min- isters supported their stand in speeches Friday night. The prime minister said streamlining Brit ain's forces for the nuclear age will mean greater mobility, better training and better equipment. Addressing the Cutlers' Society in London, Macmillan backed the defence policy based increasingly on the deterrent power of the H- bomb and less on conventional military strength. This policy was outlined Thursday "in a govern- ment white paper. The Labor opposition and others at home and abroad, including Japanese Premier Nobosuke Kishi, have urged that Britain's first H-bomb tests, set to take place soon at Christmas Island in the Pacific, be called off, Macmillan said in his speech that advantages expected from streamlining the forces depend "'upon our readiness to base our- selves upon the deterrent power of 1 t.""

Takes Stan LONDON (AP)--Prime Minister| Dr. Charles Hill, recently ap: pointed head of Britain's props ganda services, said in a speech ab Luton, Bedfordshire, that "af yet there is no danger whatever' from nuclear tests. Hill declared that "without the bomb we should become a satel lite. Some people who clamor against our tests seem ready enough to shelter behind Amer- ica's H-bomb." All four of Maemillan's collea« gues in their speeches attacked the Labor party for formally ope posing the nuclear tests. Pensions Minister John Boyd - Carpenter told a meeting at Framlingham, Suffolk, that the Socialists '"'are prepared to entrust our safely to nuclear weapons but say that we must not test these on to make sure they work." |NEED OTHER ARMS Supply Minister Aubrey Jones defended reliance on nuclear, weapans in a speech at South Shields, industrial and shipbuild- ing centre in Durham County.
