thing that enters the plant, in
cluding animals brought in by
farmers for custom slaughter, ac

the legislature.
All carcasses passing inspec

Ten plants are under inspec

ing to Dr. Rolls Sexauer, who
is supervising field operations
for the state department of agri

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 Proposes
Foreign Aid Fundso
Be Used for Planes
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Richard B. 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.
