All carcasses passing inspec tion will be marked with a shield-shaped state meat stamp in purple lettering. The stamp also will appear on custom slaughter carcasses. Ten plants are under inspec tion in the two counties, accord ing to Dr. Rolls Sexauer, who is supervising field operations for the state department of agri culture. Direct Pilot Program The 1955 legislature directed the department to set up the pilot program to answer the questions: Is compulsory meat in spection desirable in Oregon? Is it necessary?What will it cost? Extensive facts and figures gained from the operation will be presented to the 1957 legisla ture. Survey work includes con siderleeducational work with plant personnel and plant own ers, according to J. F. Jgprt, di rector of the department of agri culture. He and other department of ficials guiding the program said that plant operators have been generally cooperative and "no group of individuals is watching the program results with greater interest than those engaged in the meat industry itself."

Russell (D-Ga.), pro prosed today that foreign aid appropriations be slashed by 51,500,000,000 and the money used to assure "the strongest air , force in the world" in the years ahead. Unless Air Force appropria tions are increased, Russell pre dicted, the United States will wind up with "the second best air forc." He said the nation now has "the best air force" but won't if the present plan of aus terity is carried much farther." Still Balance Budget Russell, chairman of the Sen ate Armed Services committee and a senior member of the Ap propriations committee, propos ed the cut in the administra tion's stepped-up foreign aid program as a way to increase Air Force spending and still maintain a balanced federal budget. Russell, after secret briefings by Air Force leaders, proposed that the Air Force be given $1,500,000,000 in addition to the 316,500,000,000 in appropria tions budgeted for it by the ad ministration in fiscal 1957. The increase by itself would unbal ance the delicately balanced budget for the coming fjscal year. The administration has re quested S4,800,000,e00 .in for eign aid funds in the nexfiseal year a $2,200,000,000 increase over the amount Congress ap propriated last year. The pro posed increase already has run into strong congressional oppo sition. Drafting Statement The Air Force is presently drafting for Russell a statement of where it would spend an ad ditional $1,500,000,000. Russell said he thinks a large portion (should go into accelerating B52 jet bomber production, bat would leave the rest up to the best judgement of the Air Force staff. Air Force sources indicat ed that a gqcP chunk of the. ad ditional money would go into maintenance and operation funds, which were cut $400,000, 000 by the administration. r; Man Bent on Suicide Talked Off SF Bridge Sao Francisco '.U.R); A young man bent on suicide spent a lonely hour and 15 minutes atop a cable of the San Francisco Bay Bridge yesterday, then walked slowly off and fell into the arms of a priest and police officer who coaxed him down.
