Navy May Get Giant Carrier In Four Years

WASHINGTON, - CF) - A House Armed Services Sub-COm- mittee approved unanimously to- day a bill clearing the way for the Navy to get started on a 65,- 000-tOn giant aircraft carrier.
 Navy authorities say the super carrier, capable of cruising in Arc tic waters, would be the largest ship of any kind ever built. It would be about half again bigger than the Navy's biggest present carriers. Up to four years would be required for it's construction.
 Presumably, multi-engine bom- bers capable of carrying an atomic bomb thousands of miles could take off from its flight deck.
 To clear the way for it's con- struction, the sut committee re- commended to the full committee that the Navy be allowed to stop work on 13 of its unfinished ships. This would divert approximately $229, 100000 to build the proposed carrier and vessels designed to launch guided missiles.

Dog Batting
Project Success.
N. A. Jacobsen Says

The prairie dog control pro-
gram which has been in opera
ton in Big Horn County for the
past three months recently
came to a close for this season,
according to N. A. Jacobsen,
former county agent. :
+ Mr.. Jacobsen said that a total
of 10000 acres were covered by
the crews and the dogs were
baited with Formula 1890. Kills
as high as 90 per cent or more
were reported. He said most
areas were baited only once this
season and that some follow-up
work would be necessary.
Crews worked in five districts
of the county, as follows:
Kirby-Decker east of the Wolf
mountains; Wyola-Little Horn,
west of the Wolf mountains;
Big Horn-Little Horn, between
the two rivers; West Big Horn,
west of the river, and Sarny-
Tullock-Pine Ridge, all north of
the Grow Indian reservation.
Although not a part of this
county's project, the area east
of the Tongue river near Dec
ker was covered this year by the
Kendrick Cattle company and
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife ser
vice. Mr.. Jacobsen said that this
is the second consecutive year
that this area has been worked
and prairie dogs are said to be
practically nonresident in that
section. The section served as
a demonstration for the county
wide batting program carried on
this year.
The program was made pos
Sible by several agencies and
individuals. The Bic Horn Coun-
ty Livestock association Spon-
Sored the project and solicited
financial contributions.
The county of Big Horn sup
Piled a portion of the bait and
labor cost. while the u. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and the
Bureau of Land Management
furnished the bulk of the bait.
The Crow Indian tribal COM
Observation-Disclosures permission
for the project on Indian lands.
The batting was supervised by
the Fish and Wildlife Service
and the former county agent,
Jacobsen.
Overall cost was approximate
ly $4,000 for bait and labor, of
which BIG Horn county ranchers
subscribed nearly $4,000 through
individual contributions. Aver
age per-acre cost of infested
areas baited for labor only was
20 cents, Mr.. Jacobsen said.
