Wilson, Radford Rap Extra Air Force Fund Quantico, Va. tU.R Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson and Adm. Arthur W. Radford fired a torpedo today at a Senate Re publican compromise plan to vote the Air Force an extra $300,000,000, most for jet bombers. Wilson cried "phoney" at Democratic efforts to add $1.- 180,000,000 to the new air budg et and said he didn't like the Re publican compromise plan any better. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said he consid ered the budget for the year starting July 1 "adequate" as proposed by the Eisenhower ad ministration. He did not favor an increase. Wilson, presiding over his an nual conference of top civilian and military leaders here, told newsmen he doubted that Rus sia can launch a bombing attack on the United States with its Taunted Bison jet bombers. America's B52 is a "greatly su perior" airplane, he said.

Oregon Forest Lands Exchanged Between Forest Service and BLM Washington (U.R) The sec rearies of agriculture and in terior yesterday signed orders changing more than 480.000 acres of land under their admin istration in Oregon. The orders were signed by Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton and Secretary of Agricul ture Ezra T. Benson after a cab inet meeting at the White House. The consolidation was effected under the Cordon-Ellsworth law adopted June 24, 1954. It was a major step in untangling the complicated federal land pat tern in Oregon. Land Consolidated The Agriculture Department's forest service has administered the even numbered sections of the large block of land and In terior's Bureau of Land Man agement the odd-numbered sec tions. The Cordon-Ellsworth law di rected an exchange so that land administered by the forest serv ice will be consolidated in blocks in certain areas and those administered by the Bureau of Land Management consolidated in other areas. Involved in the exchange are 241,137 acres of National Forest lands and 242,734 acres of re vested Oregon and California railroad grant lands in 13 coun ties of western .Oregon. Odd Sections Granted These lands were intermingled because the federal government in 1866 granted to the Oregon and California railroad the odd sections of lands within a cer-1 tain distance of the railroad line. ! When the railroad did not comply with the stipulations of the grant, the land was revested and given to the Bureau of Land Management then the General Land Office to ad minister. The even sections in the meantime had been included in the national forest and admin istered by the Forest Service along with other timber and watershed lands reserved from the public domain. Advantages Sees Seaton and Benson both point ed out advantages of the con solidation. It will reduce the current public confusion over differing procedures which the two federal agencies find nec essary under existing laws, per mit economies in administration and simplify the administration of timber sales. ' The land exchanges arc of O 4 C lands transferred to the forest service are subject to the laws governing administration of national forests. Likewise, all national forest lands transferred will be administered by laws governing the BLM. All out standing contracts are recog nized by the two agencies. All improvements go with the lands exchanged. Funds Allowed for Upper Colorado Job Washington (U.PJ A Senate House conference committee has allowed $13,000,000 for con struction and planning on the Upper Colorado Project in fiscal 1957, it was learned today.

Residents of the Kuridala area could be sought in a supplement al appropriation bill. were warned not to drink any of the rainwater.
