S34.5 Billion Military
Bill Will Come Up
In Senate Wednesday
Committee Votes Funds;
Fight to Restore Some
Of Air Force Cuts Seen
By John A. Giles

A $34.5 billion military appro-
priations bill was before the
Senate today with indications
Democrats would stage a floor
fight to restore some of the cuts
in Air Force funds which they
failed to do in the Appropria-
tons Committee.
The committee reported the
money bill out late yesterday and
it comes up in the Senate We'd
nesday.
The measure is $6.2 billion
less than the tentative Truman
budget submitted last January
and almost $t3 billion below
President Eisenhower's bare
minimum" revised estimates.
Ferguson Defends Cuts.
Chairman Fergujo of the
Senate Military Appropriations
Subcommittee said the program
gives the President all he needs
for the armed services for this
fiscal year and will provide
enough for a first-grade Air
Force with more combat planes
than would have been provided
under the Truman budget"
The committee restored nearly
5000 million of the $240 million
that the House had cut from
the Air Force requests by the
new administration.
It defeated by a vote of II to
9 motion by Senator Maybank,
Democrat, of South Carolina, to
add $400 million to the Air
Force funds. It also turned
down a series of attempts by
Senator Hayden. Democrat, of
Arizona. to increase the air
arms appropriations.
The committee also gave back
500 million of the nearly $500
million that the House cut from
Navy funds and $31 million of
the House whacked from Army
appropriations.
Machine Tools Cut.
Biggest Senate committee re-
duction was $3.50 million, or
exactly half of the $500 million
that Secretary of Defense Wilson
had asked for a pool of ma
chine tools.
AS the bill reached the Senate
floor it carried a net of SIT
million more than was voted by
the House.
The Senate group knocked out
a House approved rider which
sought to limit pilots of all serv-
ices, assigned to desk jobs, to
48 hours of proficiency flying

BERLIN, July 18.-East Ber-
lin was an armed camp of Soviet
tanks and troops today as the
Russians and their German pup
pets shelved their soft ap-
proach" and went over to a ter

of new East German revolts.
Less than a week after martial
law was lifted, the elements of
two armored divisions clanked
back into East Berlin yesterday.
They were dug in today for an
apparently long stay.

had been trilling promises Of re-
form and clemency suddenly
changed their tune. They barked

Arlington County today found

A similar order was in effect

A Spontaneous" work STOP

both company and union officials
by surprise.
Glenn E. Watts, director of

the failure of 20 to 80 telephone
operators and seven repairmen to
report for work was a surprise
to him.
"It is apparently a protest OF

The union and the company
have been negotiating for sew

1000 telephone company workers

Delays Called Minor.
A company spokesman said
only minor delays were ex-

short-haul calls this morning
as supervisors took over the

not affected by the walkout.
I'VE have no idea why the

AT Florida Field
Navy ROTC Men
En- Route to Norfolk
Are Victims; 5 Survive
BY the Associated Press

MILTON, Fla, July ia
Marine cargo plane carried Al
young ROTC midshipmen and
crewmen to fiery death when it
crashed on a farm and burst
into flames after taking off from
Whiting Field last midnight.
Charred bodies of the victims
were recovered by Navy teams
which worked at the grim task
throughout the night.
Five other occupants of the
two-engine plane were rushed to
Pensacola Naval Air Station
Hospital, 30 miles south of here.
where two were reported in
critical condition and three in
serious condition.
The plane, transformed into
a massive ball of flames, after
plunging into a elump of trees
mile north of the runway,
smashed three parked automo-
bileS and plowed into barn on
the farm of Ray Allen.
Six survivors were picked up
by Navy rescue teams, but one
of the men died in the Whiting
Field Hospital about four hours
later without regaining con-
seriousness,
Five Planes in Flight.
The plane was part of fight
of five transports which had
made a refueling stop at Whit
ing. They were ferrying 200 mid
shipmen from Corpus Christi.

phase of their six-week summer
training program.
The Navy at Norfolk said two
of the survivors were Marine
Corps members of the planes

Grath and Corpl. j. P. futile.
The Navy also said other planes
of the type that crashed were
being grounded temporarily and
other type planes were taking
over the airlift.
One plane already had taken
off for Norfolk after being fueled.
The second had cleared the rum
way and was gaining altitude
when it plunged to the ground.
Alex Allen, Is, dashed out Of
his farm home when he saw

Russia Switches From Soft

Tank Divisions Back for Long Stoy
To Counter Threat of New RevoIts

the Communist hierarchy of
East Germany. Two menacing
developments caused the Com
munist alarm:
/. Scattered strikes and slow
downs throughout the Soviet
zone.
2. Hungry East Germans
boiled with resentment against
their Communist masters who
turned down an American offer
of SIS million worth of food re-
lief.
The get-tough policy was de-
signed to frighten the popula-
ton before they work themselves
up to a new open revolt.
Official Western sources con-
firmed that more than 200 tanks
and about $4,000 Russian SOL
diers have occupied East Ber-
lin, poised to pounce upon the
first stirring of rebellion.
Troops Equipped to Stay.
Unlike the troops who moved
in June II to put down the
workers revolt, these new in
vaders came equipped to stay.
They set up tidy bivouacs in
the half-rural outlying boroughs
of the Soviet sector, laid tele-
phone and electric lines. Some
officers even brought their own
desks.
Experts in such matters said
the entire Soviet 7th Armored
Division and a regimental COM

were installed in East Berlin. AT

House Group Backs
Cut Of ST. Billion
In Foreign Aid Funds
Approves Subcommittee
Recommendations, Cites
Need to Balance Budget
By Robert K. Walsh

Funds for the foreign aid pro-
gram were cut Sill billion today
in a House Appropriations Com
mittee bill that slashed Presi-
dent Eisenhower's request for
new money and greatly curtailed
the use of carry-over sums.
The committee, IN clearing the
bill for House action, confirmed
cuts recommended by a subcom-
mittee and cited the need for a
balanced budget.
The full committee recon-
mended new appropriations to-
falling $4.3 billion for the fiscal
year which started July l. 1t
also allowed SIT billion in un-
obligated funds carried over
from the previous fiscal year.
The $40 billion in new funds
was $705 million less than Pres
ident Eisenhower asked and $3.1
billion below the original esti-
mate of former President Tru-
man. The SIT billion figure rep
resented a curtailment of $402
million in unobligated carry
over money.
House Debate Tuesday.
The foreign aid appropriation
bill comes up for House debate
Tuesday. 1t is expected to arouse
great controversy because some
Republican members regard the
committees action as rebuff
to President Eisenhower and
many Democrats believe the COM
mittee made dangerous cuts In
the original Truman budget.
President Eisenhower requested
IS, 138.922.277 in new appropria-
tions for the present fiscal year.
President Truman asked for
about $7.6 billion. President Eli
senhower wanted $3,548,57O,054
in new funds for military aid in
the foreign assistance program.
The committee cut that to about
$3.1 billion.
The committee in reporting out
the bill today declared that the
reductions would neither injure
nor delay the foreign military
and economic aid program.
The amount recommended in
this BILL" the committee said,
together with previously appro-
priated funds which are con-
tinued available, when added to
the efforts of other free nations,
will permit a continuation of the
