Armed Services To Slash Many Civilian Jobs

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of defense Johnson announced to- day the armed services will chop off 135,000 civilian jobs in his drive to slash military spending.
 Anguished cries came quickly from Congressmen whose home districts were hit by the proposed cutbacks. There were suggestions that the armed forces instead, weed out "soft snaps, flunky posi- tions and baby sitters."
 Johnson told a gathering of the lawmakers at the Pentagon that the economy program is aimed at getting "a dollars worth of de- fense for every dollar Congress gives"
 Tt goes back to my conviction not to tolerate a defense WPA," Johnson declared.
 Senator Pepper D-FlaD agreed there shouldn't be a defense WPA, but he said he doesn't want to see a WPA elsewhere" He told John son that not only are 135,000 breadWinnerS losing their jobs "but the corner grocery store, the landlords and merchants will be affected too"
 Navy installations were the hardest hit in the civilian cut. They were ordered to reduce by 76,000, the army by 41,000 and air force 18,O00.
 This program, going into effect immediately, will result in an es- timated saving of S200,000,000 in the current fiscal year ending

Second Hurricane Developing

MIAMI, Fla. (P)-A small but vicious tropical hurricane ragged off the coast of North Carolina to- day as a new storm gathered strength north of Puerto Rico, a thousand miles away.
 Square black and red hurricane warning flags Tapped along a 45- mile stretch of the desOlate upper Carolina capes from Manteo to Cape Lookout.
 The Diamond Shoals lightship, 20 miles off Cape Hatteras, radi- oed it was in the thick of "Harry's hurricane"
 Wind estimated at 115 knots (about 130 miles per hour). Seas mountainous. Hope anchor will hold," the lightship messaged.
 Grady Norton, chief forecaster of the Miami weather bureau, said it appeared the center of the hur- ricane now was between Cape Hatteras and the Diamond Shoals lightship. He added:
 Tt appears that the storm will now begin to swing to a more northeastern course, away from the coast. Its my opinion the cen ter will brush pretty close to shore-but stay in the Atlantic and turn away from the land.
 Meanwhile the second hurri- cane of the season was growing larger and more vicious hourly.
 "This storm could give us real trouble" Norton observed.
 Norton said that military ob- Servation planes would track the new storm throughout the day.
