Seattle, VP) The paring

priations has cut out some re
search programs importand to
fishing industry and may shave

$123,000. : : i - .i
i Conducted by the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, the proj
ects are coordinated with the
work of state and private agen
cies in Alaskan and Pacific
Northwest fishery problems.
Unless the Senate restores
the funds, studies of salmon
nutritional requirements, dis
eases and methods of raising
fish will be discontinued. One
program is seeking to over
come an epidemic which
caused a high mortaity among
sockeye salmon in Northwest
hatcheries. One hatchery lost
96 per cent of its sockeye
fingerllngs last year. -

Army Budget
Cuts Sent Ike
Washington VP) A. military
budget recommendation which
may set back the time when
the Air Force can reach its
14 J-wing goal has been sub
mitted to the White Hotfce.
The Pentagon recommenda
tions for trimming about $2,
400,000,000 from the 46 bil
lion dollars of military spend
ing proposed by , the Truman
administration was sent to
President Eisenhower and the
Budget Bureau Wednesday. It
includes estimates for spend'
ing by the Air Force, Navy and
Army in the fiscal year begin
ning July 1. ;t .: '-.-j ,
In its present form, the bud'
get proposal by Secretary of
Defense Wilson does not spell
out the funds to be allotted
each of the armed services. It
leaves that to be worked out
after the Budget Bureau and
White House act on the overall
recommendations.
Because the Air Force is by
far the heaviest spending
agency, the Impact of the bud
get cut will be greatest on that
service. '

Christie put is this way:
"If rain were caused by any

which this material is carried
