Congressman Accuses Navy Captain of Lobbying'
WASHINGTON (UP)—The commanding officer of the Naval Auxiliary Air Station at Fallon, Nev., was accused before a congressional committee today for "lobbying" on a matter under committee consideration.
The issue is a Navy request to acquire about two million additional acres of public lands in northwest Nevada for an aerial gunnery range.
Rep. Clair Engle (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Interior Committee, accused Capt. Walter H. Newson, commander of the Fallon station of lobbying with merchants and civic groups, urging them to wire members of Congress in favor of the Navy's plan.
Rep. Engle waved a honour of telegrams.
"Whenever we get a blizzard of wires like this we know there's someone behind it and this time it points directly to you," he said.
Rep. Engle also accused Cap. Newton of "threatening" Nevada merchants that the 16-million-dollar Fallon project would be closed if the Navy did not get the land.
"If the Defense Department is going to let its hirelings in Navy stripes go out and lobby against the ected representatives of the people, there's going to be a lot ot tur flying around here," he added.
Capt. Newton said he told Nevadans that the Navy's mission in Nevada would be made more difficult without the additional land and that without it there may be serious consideration given to abandoning it.
