APPROPRIATION
 CUT HITS OUT IN
 TWO DIRECTIONS
Flat Ten Percent Reduction Would Involve Salary and Personnel

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Finan- cial authorities said a flat 10 per cent cut in Government appropria- tions for next year would involve both salary and personnel reduc- tions.
 There is a proposal to withhold Is per cent of each appropriation, but it is hoped this will not be needed as, it is thought, it would effect no savings in many cases because such impounded mon e y would have to be released to meet obligations already fixed by law.
 Because of interest on money borrowed to meet veterans aid and such measures, reductions to be effected would cover only about half of the Governments cost. If 10 per cent were chopped off the remaining half, savings would be only about four millions, necessi- tating cuts in salaries and reduc- tions of Staffs. About seven hun- dred million dollars are slated for personnel services.

Delegate Loses
 Hard Fightfor
 Alaska Air Base
Asked for $2,000,0 ,000 for Immediate Development
 of Interior Project

WASHINGTON, May 1. = The House late yesterday afternon de- feated the attempt of Delegate from Alaska Anthony J. Dimond, to add $2,000,0 ,000 to the pending $416,000,- 900 Army appropriation bill for development of a military air base in Alaska, ostensibly near Fairbanks.
 Delegate Dimond sought the amendment, contending that Alaska T"was the most important strategic position of the United States"
 Opposition
 The opposition came from Con- gressman John F. Dockweiler, of California, member of the Approp- riations Committee who said that although there is no doubt of the need of an air base in Alaska, he believed it more important to pro vide the Northwest with an avia- tion base, and the committee has recommended $645.000 to start work on such at Tacoma, Wash"
 Dimonds Strong Plea
 Delegate Dimond made strong plea for the $20u0, 900 and demand ed that Congress begin fortifica- tion of the Alaska Territory as an integral part of the western line of defense of the United States"
 The Delegate said an air base is "a step in the right direction for defense and further stated:
 Alaska today is without any form of defense, and could be taken overnight.
 Line of Defense
 NO longer is it possible to defend Ia place by sitting on with men and guns. A line of defense must be established at least hundreds, better still, thousands of miles in advance
 "The western line of defense is now no longer the shores of Wash ington, Oregon and California. The Northland must be considered
 "The Soviet Union realizes the commercial air route to the United States lies through Alaska, there fore the military route lies over the same course"

GUN SALE WILL
 BE HELD JUNE

The Alaska Game Commission ten-year collection of seized guns is to be disposed of June l, 1887 by public auction at the Federal Building in Juneau A total of 76 rifles, ranging in size from .22 calibre to 30 '06 and 45-90's, 21 shotguns, single, double, and pump, and 2 pistols. will be sold to the highest bidder, ca cf1 gun being auctioned separately and no reser- vations.
 This by no means represents all of the firearms seized during that period as they were carefully culled over several weeks ago and those having an estimated value of less than $5 were dumped into Cas- tineau Channel, to rest in peace
 They served their masters well in fact, too well. More than a hundred pistols, rifles, and shot, guns were destroyed in this man. ner to avoid further circulation, , said Clarence Rhode, Executive Of- ficer of the commission.
 While the collection does not include many of the newer type sporting rifles, it nevertheless con- tains lot of servicable "shootin' irons" A musket, and several old time models will be of interest to gun collectors.
 The guns will be tagged with a number, placed on racks, and ex- hibited to the public for inspec- tion on Monday, May 31 and the morning of June l. This will give everyone a chance to examine any gun he may be interested in.
