Eisenhower 5
Defense Budget
Cut $1.3 Billion
House Group Backs
Wilson in Dispute
With Vundenberq
By John A. Giles

The House Appropriations
Committee, concluding that "our
civilian leaders are presumed to
have better information" than
the military on what the Nation
can afford for defense, today
voted to slash more than $1.3
billion from the Defense Depart
ment budget submitted by Pres
ident Eisenhower.
The committee sided with De-
tense Secretary Wilson in his
economy program and even went
a bit further. It recommended
a total of $34.4 billion-3.7 per
cent below the $35.7 billion rec
commended by the administration
and 15.4 per cent under the $40.7
billion recommended last Janu-
ary by former President Truman.
The biggest reduction from
original Truman requests was
IS, ,030. .000, 900 in Air Force funds.
This includes $4,790, 100000 cut
by Gen. Eisenhower and $240
million cut by the committee.
Vandenberg Plea Ignored.
The committee ignored the
pleas of Gen. Hoyt S. Vanden-
berg, retiring Air Force Chief of
Staff, for restoration of at
least SIS billion in that services
funds. The Air Force budget
was reduced from $11.2 billion
recommended by Gen. Eisen-
hover to slightly above $1l
billion.
The committee also cut the
Army total from $13.6 billion to
$12.9 billion.
Navy appropriations were
trimmed from $9.7 billion to $9.3
billion.
The allotments were lower
than the Eisenhower recon-
mendatlon for every agency of
the Defense Department. And
only in the case of the Army
did the committee vote more
than Mr.. Truman had requested.
The total is $12,750, 1868, ,642 less
than the Defense Department
was given for the present fiscal
year, $40, ,025, OPT 900 of this being
in the Air Force allotment.
Unusual Saturday Session.
The committees recommended
tions were embodied in an omni-
bus bill sent to the House during
an unusual Saturday session.
1t is scheduled for House con-
slderation next Wednesday and
Thursday.
The committee made frequent
references to unexpended bal
ances and pointed out that the
Air Force has more than 1924
billion on the books from previ-
GUS appropriations.
1T is altogether unreasonable
to believe that this or any other
nation can in this atomic age
provide for 100 per cent insur-
ance for its protection against
the disaster of an attack" the
committee report said. 1T must
be borne in mind that our
strength is both military and
economic.
1--WE must strive to balance
minimum defense needs against
dangers of unbearable burdens
on the economy. We must listen
to our military leaders as they
present the military needs. On
the other hand, our civilian
leaders are presumed to have
better information on what the
Nation can afford-not so much
in terms of dollars but in terms
of the extent of continuing
drains on the Nations security.
Perhaps as Secretary of Defense
Wilson has stated we may be
expecting too much of our mill
tary leaders in that they are
sometimes supposed to be mill
tary strategiSts, administrators,
economists and financial ex-
merits -

The improved pension plan
would cost Capital Transit an
extra $1,006.000 a year. Mr..
Weinstein contended. This pre-
sumably would have to be utf-
set by a new fare increase.
Statement by Union.
In statement after the meet
ing, Mr.. Bierwagen said:
". The company's breach
of the arbitration clause of the
agreement angered the union
members. The union is greatly
disturbed by the company's at
tempt to deprive it of its right
to arbitrate. The right to arbi-
trate is a fundamental one 1t
is a cornerstone of che agree
ment. The membership is ask
lng-what is the use of any
agreement if the company can
violate it's basic provisions with
impunity?
"The company's attitude is
millions for dividends but not
cent for a pension. and then
a refusal to abide by the arbi-
tration provisions of the agree
ment. The company wholly dis
regards not only its contractual
obligations but also it's obliga-
tions to the public. If the COM
pany is so sure its position on
pensions is justified. why does it
hesitate to entrust the dispute
to a board of arbitration"
"This Is Strike Vote"
When asked if the vote actu-
ally presaged a strike, Mr.. Bier
wagon told reporters:
Let's not kid anybody. This
is a strike vote. The public
should be aware of it,"
Union and company repre-
sentatives already have met with
Mr.. Heafner. and each group
has held separate conferences
with him.
Company officials have said
they are opposed to submitting
the disputed issues to arbitration.
4 Mr.. Weinstein yesterday gave
Mr.. Bierwagen a formal refusal
to arbitrate the issue. He also
warned the union that If the
struck the company
would sue the union for dam
ages and loss of revenue.
The company position vas set
forth In a letter to Mr.. Bier
wagen. copies of which were dis
tributed by the company to en-
ployes. It stressed the company
contention that a strike would
be in violation of the no-strike
pledge in the wage contract
which expires June 80. 1855.

A Voice From The
CheerIeuders
By Barbara Morris

Before this basketball season is
over, the cheerleaders hope to get
new uniforms. AS most of you have
seen, they are very much needed.
For the past three basketball
games, we have worn a white
sweater over a maroon basketball
uniform. We hope to do away with
that in the near future.
So far, the cheerleaders have
worked out one new cheer for bas-
ketball. called TAP 1t OF The Cen
ter. We are working on some
others. Any suggestions you might
have to offer will be appreciated.
There are some more basketball
games coming up soon. We want
everyone to come that can to sup
port both the team and the cheer
leaders. So, for the remaining
games, let's really come and cheer
for our team. Really yell, and let
them know we appreciate them!

THEODORE r. PYNE

Theodore r. Pyne was born in
COatesville, Pennsylvania. Shortly
afterwards, his parents and he
made Claymont, Delaware, their
home. While there, he gained his
early education by attending the
Claymont High School from which
he was graduated in 1895 with an
Academic diploma. He took part
in these graduation ceremonies by
delivering the French oration.
Later, educational trails led him
to the University of Delaware
where he studied in the field of
Secondary Education, majoring in
Latin. Graduation took place from
the University in 1889 at which
time Mr.. Pyne was the proud re-
cipient of a Bachelor of Arts de-
gree. A very significant occasion
in his college days had been his
election to the Phi Kappa Phi Nat
iOnal Honorary Society.
A desire to receive a Master de-
gree in Spanish has led Ted" (as
he is called by friends), to further
educational endeavors at the uni
versities of Delaware and Havana,
Cuba.
In 1912, Uncle Sam tapped Mr..
Pyne on the shoulder, and he be-
gan a 40-mOnth sOjOurn with the
u. S. Army, which took him to
several sections of the United
States, Australia, India, Burma,
and finally to China. While over
seas, Tied" acted as control
chief of an intercept and interpre-
tive mission. This assignment car
ried the rank of Master Sergeant
One of the tales "T. r., (as
nicknamed by Army pals), relates
concerning his trip by rail across
the continent of India, presents a
very unusual culinary angle. II
seems that very frequently the In
dian engineer used to stop for tea
so finally the G. rs got the idea
of following suit. So at each tea
stop, armed with canteen cup anC
tea grands, they would rush vi
to the engine where the engineer
would pour into the cup boiling
water taken from the engines boil
er. ''T. r" says this resulted in the
best tea he ever drank. Another
highlight in his overseas adven.
lures was his fight from northern
India to southwestern China Ovel
the Himalayas. Following his hon
orable discharge from service OF
December 81, 1945, Mr.. Pyne, OF
February 1, 1946, married a charm
ing young lady, Jean Bizzelle, o.
Tampa, Florida. The same month
he began teaching Spanish anC
Latin here. His first day on th'
job found him with bad case o
laryLgitis, which proved very EN-
barrassing when he tried to con
4 jugate "bablav" without the use o
the organ Of speech.
