But they lost In the Appropriations Committee and did not "fnake a floor fight. Democrats Beaten The Democrats were beaten yesterday on a close 48-43 vote in an attempt to add to the bill an extra 231 million dollars for Army modernization. The bill was revamped in committee to go along with most features of the Administration's continental air defense plan. This puts more emphasis on intercontinental ballistic missiles and the defense against them and less emphasis on missile defenses against manned bombers. As It passed the Senate, the Olill contained $39,594,330,000 in T.ew money and millions of transfer authority from revolving funds.

Mr. Eisenhower requested in new money and the House voted S3S.84S.-339.000.

Hailed by Threat The 32-year-old major's testt mony before the Senate- iiv ternal security subcommittee was interrupted for about 30 minutes by a dramatic bomb scare.

Chairman James O. Eastland, Democrat, Missis sippl, ordered the room cleared of everybody while Armv ex perls combed it with bomb detection equipment. They found nothing. The abrupt interruption came almost after Diaz took the witness chair. Afterward, newsmer and spectators were Itead an editorial, "Trouble In the Caribbean," Page 10.

readmitted to the room only after a careful check of their credentials. Neither Eastland nor the Federal Bureau if Investiga tion would discuss the bomb scare. In ordering the room cleared, Eastland said he had received just after the hearings started a telephone call saying "an attempt would be mane to injure tne witness." However, it was reported that F'BI headquarters had received a tip from a source it considered reliable that an attempt would be made to in jure Diaz. It was Diaz' third appear ance before the subcommittee, but his first public testimony. His first two meetings one last week, the other yesterday were' behind closed doors and cloaked with secrecy.

Diaz's appearance the senator has brought angry oenunciaiion or the subcom mittee by Castro. The Cuban prime minister obviously stung by Diaz's defection, calls Diaz a traitor and deserter "the Benedict Arnold of Cuba."

Questioned by Subcommit tee Counsel J. G. Sourwine, Diaz said he was a foe of the Batista regime and joined Castro's revolutionary move ment late in 195fi.

He said he believed Castro would bring democracy and freedom to Cuba. Telling of his own disillusion ment, Diaz said anyone who has heard Castro's private utterances would have no doubt that he is a Communist. Diaz quoted Castro as hav ing once said he was "going to put in a system In Cuba like Hussla lias, even better than Kussia lias." Another indication, he said, was removal oi tne word "God" from the new Cuban constitution. Asked' whether Communists had infiltrated the Castro gov ernment, Diaz said they had, 'including Fidel Castro. Among others Diaz men tioned as Communists were Castro's brother, Raul, min ister of defense Augusto Mar tinez and acting secretary of state Armando Hart.

Little Car Owner. DKAIl SHORTY: Why, nothing, really, except for the visibility factor. Sports cars are just fine, when they display a tall flag so you can see them in parking places.

I don't want you to think I am anti-sports car. Of course, sports car owners are a big pain in the neck, always boring people with their comparisons of brands and technical points. Also, they look pretty silly in those caps. But DEAR GEORGE: On the bus the other day I heard a very innocent looking woman talking about how wonderful it was that the Russians are doing away with the income tax. Do you suppose she was subversive? J.

D. DEAR J. No. Trobably just delinquent. At any rate, wasn't that clever of the Russians? DEAR GEORGE: Don't you think this talk about how "terrible" television is all mounts up merely to a form of snobbism by the egghead element? Realist.

DEAR REALIST: I certainly do! And I'm glad you brought that up. Anti-television people think they are real avant garde And forget the fundamentals of life. Not me! I am still anti-radio. DEAR GEORGE; How can I keep my paper boy from riding across the lawn? I've spoken to him Mrs. N.

DEAR MRS. Now, you say here that you have "spoken" to him. What did you say? Hello? Or what? 'Did you come right out and tell him to quit riding across your lawn? Remember, paper boys are merely the merchants of the future. They need guidance. Speak to him quietly, but firmly.

Then, the next time he rides across your lawn, stick a stick in his spokes. If that doesn't work, I think we should get up a discussion group. You don't happen to know how to keep paper carriers from putting the paper in puddles, do you? Well. No. I suppose you don't.

But, that's the way it goes. DEAR GEORGE: What became of old-fashioned Courtesy? R. F. DEAR R. Beats me, Mac.

They need more definite assurances from the Soviet Union before they can seriously con sider accepting the Soviet-proposed freeze. Otherwise: A Little Willing The lineup found United States Secretary of State Christian A. Herter and Brit ish Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd seemingly willing to go some little way toward meet ing the Russian condition for negotiation between the East and West Germans. Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville of France was said to be sgainst any Idea, of such German talks, even under the umbrella of a Big Four commission. And Chancellor on rad Adenauer's West Germany looked virtually Isolated.

Evi dently fearing what they take to be American-British softness, the West Germans have gone so far as to sug- gest cutting off the current Big Four talks on a Berlin compromise. Instead they ii reed the callinc of an earlv summit conference on other grave problems of Europe. And they have proposed that a new foreign ministers' meeting on Berlin be arranged after the summit talks. The West Germans are united with the Americans, British and French in rejecting the Russian proposal, as it stands now, for a pan-German committee to tackle wider political issues. But they have lately moved away from the French, and toward the Americans and British, in indicating that they might accept other contracts with the East Germans under a Big Four commission.

Semi-Public Session The Big Four conference Itself stood recessed until Wednesday afternoon when a semi-public session is due. Two strategy meetings of the Western ministers at Herter's residence lasting nearly three hours prodced these developments: 1. General Western agreement that the Soviet Union must spell out much more precisely Its conference pledge that It will do nothing to upset any East-West agreement on Berlin. 2. General Western agreement to sit tight and do nothing for the time being on Gro- myko's demand, to bring the East and West Germans, into the secret sessions of the conference.

Quickened factory, farm and building activity pushed civilian employment up to The employment gain was in the month, the Ibor Department announced. It climaxed an unprecedented spring upsurge which opened 4.600,000 jobs in lour months. I'nemployment rose, too, as it alwavs does when the school ear ends.

Two million young obhunters hit the labor mar ket, and not all of them found work. Seasonal Factor Counted Joblessness rose bv 593,000 a total of 3.982,000. This was still anout Zt million ne- low the recession level of a vear ago. After allowing for seasonal factors, unemploy ment remained at 4.9 per cent of the civilian labor force. The outlook for the rest of the year is for some addi tional decline in unemployment, I.alwr Department officials said.

It appeared therefore that Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell won't have to eat his hat this fall. In April he promised to do so publicly If ohlessness had not dropped below three million by October.

Officials said it could he upset by an economic set back, such as Ihe effects of a rolonged steel strike, The gain in employment was argely seasonal, reflecting the pickup in tarmmg, construction and other outdoor occupations.

Mr. Mitchell noted with satisfaction continued recovery In the manufacturing industries, which were hardest hit by the recession and the slowest In rehiring. Employment in hard goods manufacturing such as metals, machinery, autos and appliances gained 120,000 in June, a monlli when it normally does not rise. The glass, stone and clay industries also added to their working forces The previous high mark of employment was 67.221.000; it furled the tricolor flags lining the broad avenue.
