The Mississippi congressman re ceived sympathetic response, both from committee members and from his audience, when he cited "we don't find any of those mentioned for the presidency in either party stressing the wasteful de fense spending, but rather the high hy level of defense spending, which he will either bring about or con tinue." He insisted a "solvent, strong inflation-free national economy behind our front-line military is an equal, or perhaps an even greater part of our overall defense than the frontline military.

POTTS LEFT FROM SHELBY, MISS. Miss Chow In Contest For 'Miss Chinatown' By HOWARD SUTTLE Dally News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, In this day of 'South-hating" in Washington, a Mississippian has been called up on for leadership in an attack upon waste in defense spending and an assault upon the dangers of infla tion, due to "pump-priming" and 'spreading the benefits" of mili tary contracts. Rep. Jamie L. Whitten, Charles ton, whose "watch-dog" tendencies are credited with having saved Uncle Sam many billions of dollars since ne' came to Congress, in 1941, appeared Friday before the congressional Joint Economic Com mittee to testify on the, impact of defense expenditures upon the na tional economy.

And what's more, he appeared at the invitation of "South-hating Sen. Paul Douglas com mittee chairman. He called for elimination of "the billions we are spending, in the name of defense but for which we get no real de fense. AIRS TREASURY RAIDS It's not unusual for Whitten to come forth on the House floor, or in the Appropriations Committee of which he is a member, to re veal plans he has discovered for raids upon the Treasury, and by dogged persistence, to "derail" the "gravy trains' of those who would profit from unneeded and un necessary government appropria tions. The Mississippian was credited with saving the taxpayers around $2 billions shortly after he came to Congress.

At that time, he questioned military procurement policies, to cut back close to $1 billion, then moved to halt the leasing of the Navy's Elk Hills oil reserves, in California, to effect savings estimated at more than $1 billion. Only last session Whitten's at tack upon waste in the Foreign Aid program, and demand for an in vestigation of who gets the prof its," contributed to the discomfort of some who are concern-! with socalled Mutual Security. He cited that $32 millions in For eign Aid funds had been spent in Cambodia, to pave a 130-mile road "from nowhere to nowhere." He demanded, and is likely to get this year, action by Congress to "tie strings to Foreign Aid dol lars, "so they cannot be used for this, that, or the other wasteful purpose." Too Much Spending. "TOO MUCH SPENDING" Whitten is taking bows, this week-end, for his orderly, common-sense presentation, before the Joint Economic Committee, last Friday, of facts to sustain his belief that "we have far too much spending for the defense we have." He decried the fact, as he contended, that determinations for defense spending involve such side issues as "pump-priming, spreading the immediate benefits, taking care of all services, giving all defense contractors a fair share and spreading the military bases to include all sections." as- OGlS A 4 3BI Year festival in Chinatown, San Francisco.
