the economic front Unification Bill Scored As 'Merge WASHINGTON, June 5. (JPh-Senator-Robertson-(RWyo) said today the pending Army-Navy unification bill actually would merge the two services. "If merger legislation, pure and simple," the -Wyoming-lawmaker told a reporter. "Let's not fool ourselves about that" Robertson is a member of the Senate Armed Services committee which in his absence yesterday approved the bill by a xl to 0 vote. He said he would have voted against the measure MERGER FORBIDDEN It provides for unification of the military and naval forces under a Secretary of National Se curity.

The bill says specifically that there shall be no merger, a provision upon which the Navy insisted. But Robertson contended that nine lines of the bill' are merger lines and it doesn't take a lawyer to figure it out" He referred to a section which creates a "Nation Security Organization (which), shall consist of the department of the Army, tne department of the Navy and the department of the Air Force." Robertson's argument is that making the three departments part of an "organization" spells mer ger. He said he intends to fight i Bwlght T. Griswold of Nebraska to be chief of the United States mission to Greece under the 400,000,000 k-Turkish aid uu. At the same time, he appointed lichard F.

Allen to administer he relief program or other European countries.

Hungary's non Communist government, was the sole break in an otherwise solid lineup of Moscow-controlled nations extending from the Baltic to the Adriatic seas.

Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia has been an outspoken advocate of a formal Balkan federation, and such a development now is being viewed here as a definite possi bility.

WEST TEXAS MUSEUM 1 $90,000 for a museum at West Texas State Teachers College at Canyon. $125,000 for an addition to the Texas Memorial Museum at Austin. With the whole question of whetheror not the 50th session tin-its closing hours would attempt to put the state back on deeficit financing, rapidly coming to a head, the House found itself without a voting quorum. A quorum was obviously pres ent, but it was notvoting-on bills put up on a calendar of local and uncontested measures. Members were in buddies on the floor but they were not paying attention to the calendar, Speaker tX Reed remarked: HOUSE INACTIVE obvious the House doesn't "want wotfe-vote from your desks and you won't vote from the floor.

We cant get a quorum." This was an a part of-the last- minute scramble to push through pet bills before the- session ends at noon tomorrow. Members were busy seeking support of such measuresw The biggest question remaining to be solved is whether the final flood of money bills can be or will be pushed through with the four-fifths vote required to return to deficit financing.
