(f?L jj mmmn & Washington (UPD-Sen. Karl E. Mundt has accused admin istration critics of playing I not so powerful' politics on a critical issue-our semiritv The South Dakota Republi- i can made the statement in his weekly newsletter to constit uents. Mundt is a member of the senate military appropri ations suDcommittee. Not Poliiical Issue .VThe defense of the United States-the Free World for that matter-is not a political issue. Yet it has been tossed into the political arena time and again within recent weeks," he said. Mundt devoted much of his weekly report to reprinting subcommittee testimony by Defense Secretary Thomas S. i Gates. He commented that the 1 subcommittee was getting in- i formation from the "experts" and not from "the politicions or the presidential aspirants." ; , In a weekly report of an- j other subcommittee mprohpr i Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.), had some harsh words for those experts. He commented that the services are still fighting among themselves. Vying for Dollars "The fact is that our mil itary forces are vying among themselves for the taxpevers dollars with apparently no thought for the overall well being of either the nation's financial position or our de fense posture in comparison with the Soviet Union. ' Ellender said true unifica tion of the services could save cast sums. He said he fav ors spending all that is need ed for defense, but he said defense needs are not a "li-i cense for our military lead ers to waste money." PUT BEAUTY IN YOUR KITCHEN!

Sulphur Sought In Ocean Water New York-(UPB -The Free- port Sulphur company is building its Grand Isle mining piam on smiting sands that lie under 50 feet of water seven miles at sea in a hur ricane zone. The magazine "Steelways" reports that the steel "island." built on stilts above the Gulf of Mexico, will soon becin pumping sulphur to shore de pots through a unique steel pipeline. The magazine said it was business arithmetic that prompted construction of the S30-m i 1 1 i o n, half-mile-long Grand Isle project south of New Orleans. Of the 246 known onshore subterranean sulphur deposits, only 23 are commercially leasible. Nine have been worked and abandoned, and the other 14 are now either in production or undergoing development. So the sulphur industry pushed its search for new de posits offshore. Grand Isle turned out to be a promising site. ) X HI Accent your Home's Natural beauty for a distinctive landscape . . .
