AT A.M. departments are submitting comments on the gaither report to the national security council for possible consideration Monday by President Eisenhower. The report, according to versions leaked to several newsmen, calls for a massive defense buildup, a 20 billion dollar civil defense shelter program, expanded foreign aid and other crash measures to avoid the catastrophe of a Soviet missile attack. It was said to paint a much darker picture of the U.S. lag behind Russia in military might than administration officials have top-secr- et - Beetgrowers Of Cache County A district PIOCHE, Nev. HP) court jury deliberated more than 12 hours before finding a veteran Toopah prospector guilty of the second degree murder of a young Provo, Utah, mining executive. The juiy of nine men and three women returned to the courtroom at 4:40 a.m. to read its verdict. Charles A. Anderson, 66, who had wept during final arguments yesterday, did not appear visibly shaken when the verdict was announced. Second degree murder in Nevada is punishable by a term of 10 years to life in the state prison. Anderson was convicted of the t, fatal shooting of Lowell WT. 30, an executive in the Western Mercury & Uranium Co. The shooting occurred Aug. 16 after Anderson and Bonnett argued over a claim located by Western Mercury and Uranium in the vicinity of 21 uranium claims located by Anderson earlier.

The call for a conference came from Khrushchev, the leader of the Communist Party, who said such a meeting could solve all outstanding problems including disarmament in this age of missiles and Sputniks. Gromyko spoke first at a joint session of the supreme conceded. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty read a brief statement which confirmed that the alarming report was under study but he revealed nothing about its conclusion and recommendations. He said it was top secret and that he did not know whether any parts of it would ever be made public. "The report is one of a num ber of advisory studies on national security matters which as from you know the president time to time requests and receives from many sources, the prepared statement said. Defense and other security agencies of the government made available to the committee factual material and estimates in their possession bearing on the committees work and some of this is incorporated in the report. The reports main contents consist of analyses, views and recommendations of the committee members, who are eminent men drawn primarily from civil life. The rport is, of course, a highly classified document. ope. But we did not mention the possibility of missiles being based in Spain, Dulles said. Paris sources indicated Dulles may have been sounding out Franco. They said the United States was considering negotiating with Spain for setting up American missile bases, although Spain is not a NATO member. No price tag was placed by sources here on the reported Eisenhower plan to hurry up the European missile bases. But they add that, under the plan missiles would be given as di ect U. S. aid to the four nations, with this country helping financially in constructing the bases. Convicted Of Wifes Murder L.
