Court Refuses 10 Cut
Sentences for Two Spies

Federal Judge Alexander Holtz-
of refused yesterday to reduce
by two months the sentences
given Soviet spies Kurt Ponger,
80, and Otto Verber, 81, of both
of Austria.
Lawyers for the ex-GIs have
sought to have the sentences re-
duced by eight weeks each on the
theory the men should be cred
tied with the time they spent in
jail between pleading guilty and
their sentencing on June 8.
Ponger was given a 5-to-15-
year term and Verber drew from
3 to 4 months to 10 years for
transmitting military secrets
from Austria to the Russians.

rotary of Defense Wilson testify
Tuesday in a closed session said
they got the impression he be-
iieves few substantial reductions
can be made in .he rs billion dol
Lar military program outlined in
former President Humans 70 bill
lion dollar budget.
Told about this, Taft reported:
Il think the military budget viii
be cut
Pressed for figures. the Ohioan
indicated he blieves the reduction
win be substantial, but he wouldn't
estimate how much.
Taft agreed with Eisenhower's
news conference statement yester-
day that II viii be a terrifically
difficult thing to bring revenues
and spending in balance.
Ferguson took issue with Essen
hower's assertion that, If it hadn't
been 50 difficult job. the budget
would have been balanced long
ago.
Harry T1fnan never wanted q
