$60 BILLION MIL. BUDGET MAY BE UppED

WASHINGTON, June ' = tR - Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Lovett said today the Armed Forces may need authority to make even more than the $6O,650, ,OOO,oc0 worth of contracts and other commit ments they are asking during the fiscal year starting July l.
 Loyett was the first of Defense Department witnesses to appear before a Senate Appropriations sub committee to justify the military budget request submitted by Presi- dent Truman April 30
 He said in a prepared statement that the original, unsifted request of each of three Armed Forces total ed about 104 billion dollars as they turned them in to the Defense De- partment. Subsequent adjustments by the departments fiscal experts and by the budget bureau whitfield this to the present $60,650,0 100000.
 'sTo the best of our ability" Low ett said, we have provided funds to support the essential procurement programs through these minimum lead time periods (the time required to get contracts in, work started and the products rolling from man. ufacturing lines)."

S6,OOo DER ROOM FOR OPERATION OF
 SCHOOLS 0NBASES

A. A. Ryan and Major Helena Hendrickson left today to return to Anchorage after several days in Juneau conferring with Territorial Commissioner of Education James Ryan on military school matters.
 Commissioner Ryan said that A. A. Ryan has been made general administrator for schools on mili- tary bases. His headquarters will be at Elmendorf Field.
 Under the new set-up, the U. S.. Department of Education is allow ing the Territory $6,000 per class room unit to cover teachers salar- ies, text books and school supplies in operation of the schools. How ever, if this amount is found in sufficient, federal funds will make up the difference. The S6,000 figure does not include transportation of l children, maintenance and opera tion of buildings nor auxiliary ag- encies, such as health, etc. These services, it is presumed, will be provided by the federal government or some agency. It is estimated there will be 1O5 classroom units in operation on various military in- 1 stallations.
 In addition to the above allow ance, the Territory will receive ] SIS, 900 for purchase of school fur niture and for administration of a central office. It is planned to use 51,000 for furniture, $18,000 for the administrative office at Elmen- dorf and $6,000 for costs of ac- counting and other expenses in the | office of the commissioner.
 A. A. Ryan was superintendent of the Seldovia schools the past year Before that he was in military ser vice from 1942 to 1850 and from

SHORTAGE OF BEEF I5 NOW
 THREATENING

CHICAGO, June ', 4 LP Cattle raisers still kept the bulk of their animals down on the farm and in feedlots today and the threat of an early widespread beef shortage became more acute.
 Only 14,000 head of cattle arrived today for sale at the nations 12 principal livestock markets, com pared with 28,6OO the same day a week ago.
 This brought the weeks receipts to date to 110,700 compared with 135,500 last week. which included Memorial Day when the markets were closed, and 161,5 year ago.
 Sales records at the Chicago stockyards, the nations largest, show that small packers are taking the bulk of the limited offerings. Comparatively heavy shipments al- 50 are being sent east.
 The big packers have contended that the prices asked are too high for them to comply with govern ment ceilings.

 ACTIVITY ON
 IRAN BORDER

TERRAIN. Iran, June '. = R = U. s. Ambassador Henry F. Grady said today Intelligence reports in- dicated increased Soviet military activity along Trans northern frontier. But he added he saw nothing particularly significant in the reports.
 Authoritative government officials confirmed published reports that unusually large Russian military concentrations had been seen on the Northern Frontier and that Soviet battle exercises are contin- uing in that area.
 The Soviet armies were described as engaging in unprecedented military maneuvers on both sides of the Caspian Sea. Iran border police have heard the sounds of gunfire continuously for three days.
 Grady made his statement at a news conference when queried about the reports He said U. s. h. telligence knows that there has been some increase in Russian de- lensive Qualifications, but nothing further. Other sources said the So- viets have installed giant field gun opposite an Iranian guard post along the Azerbaijan frontier.
 The border activity reports come in the midst of tension between Britain and Iran over the national ization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
 A crowd of more than 2,000 en- thusiastic supporters of nationali- zation jammed the railroad station this morning as two of Trans three temporary directors of the coun- try's oil industry left for southern Khuzistan Province-the oil field area

 He made the statement in re- sponse to questions at the Senate's hearings. Previously, the senators had heard the top U. s. military men testify they believed Russia could call off the fighting in Korea.
 Like the military men, Acheson said he does not believe the United States has the military strength yet to prevent Russia from overrunning Europe if the Soviets turn to ag- gression there.

FREAR SPEAKS
ONWAR DAMAGE
Head of Senate Subcommittee
Says War Damage Legisla-
tiOn Being Considered
CITIZENS MUST HELP

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear said he hopes that the Gov
ernment will deal with the problem
of War Damage Insurance fairly
but not foolishly.
In his weekly statement, Mr..
Frear, who is Chairman of a Sem
ate Banking Subcommittee consid-
ering War Damage legislation, de-
clared that the Government could
''conceivably commit itself to bill
lions of dollars in War Damage
claims which would have to be
raised from American taxpayers" !"
The legislation referred to by the
Senator would provide for restora-
ton and rehabilitation of life and
property in the event of enemy at
tacks on the United States.
The Senator warned that the
striking power of long range air
craft and the location of many
American cities and their indust-
ries makes the problem of War
Damage very timely and urgent
one, and he predicted that Con-
gress will do it's best to develop a
workable plan for dealing with the
situation.
The Senator also called attention
to the fact that an efficient Civil
Defense organization could prob
ably help to reduce War Damage
losses, and he urged State and
local authorities to lend their all
out cooperation with the Civil De-
fense Administrator in Washing
ton in developing protective mea-
sures on the home front. ut is
important to keep in mind" Sena-
tor Frear said, "that Civil Defense
involves protection not only for us
as individuals, but it also pertains
to the safety of our homes, the
places where we work and buy our
food, our schools, hospitals and so
on
Senator Frear also stressed that
the Government cannot assume all
the responsibility for safeguarding
life and property or for rectifying
War Damage if it does occur.
There is, especially in democ-
racy, an important responsibility
on the part of every citizen to do
his share for the common welfare
of all,n he added.
In conclusion, Mr.. Frear re-af-
firmed the necessity to continue
our Defense preparations and
warned against any home front
complacency.

Umpire called the runner safe a
rheubarb between the Umpire and
the Milton manager resulted in the
Milton pilot being elected from the
game. Milton failed or were un-
able to field nine men for the re-
manning one-third inning and as a
result Hickman protested the con-
test. In accordance with the rules
of baseball nine men must be on
the field at all times and as Milton
failed to put the required number
of men on the field the protest was
upheld and the game forfeited to
Hickman. They refused to accept
the ruling and have withdrawn.
The League will finish out the sea-
son as fve-team circuit although
there is a strong possibility that
the berth will be filled.
Clayton strengthened their hold
on 1st place as they downed Fred
erica twice. Bob Knight pitched
two-hit ball to win the opener 9 to
%. Roy Kemp started for Freder-
lea but went out in favor of Jack
Moore. The victors piled up runs
from the 3rd on and were never in
danger. Pres Burris blasted out
two triples while AL Gootorf and
Bill Carson had two singles each to
pace Clayton at the plate. Roy
Kemp and jerry Seamans with sin
giles in the 3rd accounted for the
losers safties. In the End game

ed Millsboro nine who definitely
have established themselves as be-
ing contender from here on out.
Bob Knight or Lew Wright will

Frederica will be at home with
Wyoming and they will be out to
move up. Dick Kuehne, or Jack

pend on Bill Newman or Freddie
Clemence, who is pitching steady
ball each time out. The contest
looms as toss-up and if Frederica
can pull through and Clayton halts

considerably. Hickman will be idle.
