Housing Agency Will Loan Only 4 Million in Alaska

WASHINGTON, R-The Hous- ing and Home Finance Agency estimates it will make only about four million dollars in loan com mitments under it's Alaska hous- ing program during the 12 months beginning July 1.
 The agency said in explanatory remarks accompanying the bud get sent to Congress by President Truman Friday that the Alaska program "could be greatly ex- banded if solution could be found for reaching somewhat lower income section of the po- tential market"
 It added that the absolute need for housing will continue to be acute"
 The budget contained no re- quest for the Alaska loan pro- gram which is financed by a revolving fund. Congress has au- thorized 20 million dollar fund, of which 19 million has been ap- propriated.
 The agency said the 12-month budget period will find admins trative expenses of the fund paid for out of interest earnings for the first time with an additional $250,000 expected to be turned back to the Treasury.

Tighter Unification Of Armed Forces
 Urged In Congress

WASHINGTON, R - Tighter unification of the armed forces and draft law revisions to boost fighting efficiency in Korea were urged Friday by two Republican congressman who held key posts on defense legislation.
 Sen. Saltonstan (R-Mass), slated to head the Armed Services Com mittee in the RepubHcan-controll- ed Senate, described the present unification act as a Compromise setup."
 He told a reporter the func- tions of the joint chiefs of staff needs study, as do the workings of the staff of the Secretary of Defense, the separate service re- search branches and the makeup of the Munitions Board-an or ganized under the Unification Act.
 Saltonstall also said operation of the Selective Service Act should be changed, either by amendments or by executive or der of President-elect Eisenhower after his Jan. 20 inauguration.
 Rep. Van Zandt R-Penn), a member of the House Armed Ser vices Committee, called for six to eight months increase in draft service. In a separate interview he said he would ask Congress to consider draft terms of between 30 and 36 months, instead of "A months as at present.
 Van Zandt, a naval reserve captain, returned last week from seven weeks active duty, much of it in Korea. There, he said, he travelled incognito talking to of ficers and men and decided:
 Twenty four months have proven to be too short. Out of this, there is only about 10 months of combat duty"

By FRANK w VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R - Roads, public works and power bulked heaviest among the Alaska items included in the budget sent to Congress by President Truman Friday.
 The 1,155-page document con- tained $95,219,9O4 in requests spe- officially earmarked for the Terri tory.

 The Alaska Communications System came in for another $11,- 780,800 for operation, mainten- ance and construction, and the Navy's Petroleum Reserve No. 4, above the Arctic Circle, was pro- posed for $9,7OO,OOO.
 In explanation of the 18 mil lion plus request for road con- struction, the Interior Dept. Office of Territories said it plans to be- gin work on construction of an alternate through route on the Seward Anchorage highway to bypass Anchorage on the route to Elmendorf Air Base and Fort Richardson and to build a 20-mile road between Kasilof, Kenai and the Sterling Highway.

VdIeulClOry budget DelOre OOn- gress Friday. Republicans prompt ly cried fantastic" and promised to cut it sharply.
 But that has been the custom ary reaction of Democratic Con- gresses, too, and they frequently have fallen short of January pledges to trim away billions of dollars. Only time can tell wheth- CT, under the COP, things will be different.
 Truman's estimate of govern ment spending was for the fiscal year 1854, which begins July 1. The total was four billion dollars higher than spending projected by the President for the current fiscal year and 1212 billions more than in fiscal 1852, which ended last June 30
 The increases were almost en- tirely for national security pro- grams and pointed, Truman said, toward a 10 billion dollar deficit IS months from now.
 Truman called for a big in crease in foreign aid, mostly for military help to the nations Flu ropean allies. But he also included two billions for economic, rather than military help. Some mem bers of Congress have been urg- ing that all purely economic aid to foreign countries be halted.
 Sen. Millikin R-Colo), who will head the tax writing Finance Committee, said Republicans are determined to carry out plat form and campaign pledges to reduce the present level of fed eral taxes"
 That obviously would require multi-billion dollar slash in cur rent government spending levels to avoid a deficit.
 Republicans expect strong Democratic support in their bud get-cutting efforts.
 Sen. Douglas O-IlD, persistent economy advocate, said he doubts the Republicans can slash more than four or five billions from any new budget without endan- gering national defense.
 The budget called for expendi- lures in general equal to $489.15 for every man, woman and child the Census Bureau estimates will be in the United States on Jan. l, 1854, half way through the 12- month budget period.
 The President said 73 cents out of every dollar in the budget would go toward programs direct ly related to national security, and 14 cents more toward paying for. past wars.
 The President made no proposal for increased taxes. But he told a Republican Congress whose leaders have been talking wist- fully of a tax cut:
 q do wish to make it clear that in my judgment it would not be wise to plan for a large budget deficit during a period when busi- ness activity, civilian employment and national income are reaching unprecedented heights"
 And, the President said, if things go according to his esti- mates and plans, the national debt by 1954's end will be but billion dollars short of the legal limit of

it will become generally inter-
esting.
Quail, grouse and rabbit hunt
ers generally have Jared better,
bob-white are fairly plentiful.
grouse are not too scarce and
rabbits abound in certain areas
and are at least up to average
population in others. The mild
weather has not been conducive
to hard hunting, being some
what rough on both dogs and
gunhers.
This is the last week, except
one day. for the black bass sea-
son in Maryland. The Potomac
is low, but above Seneca is in ex-
cellent shape, and some Sizeable
fish are being taken by live-bait
anglers.
Rockfishing in the Chesapeake
follows the usual fall pattern,
with the fish here today and
gone tomorrow. However, parties
at Solomons and farther south
to the Point Lookout area have
done pretty well, as have those
who fish the vicinity of Sharps
Island, the Gooses and the Hill.
Pan-sized fish are plentiful.
Pickerel and yellow perch fish
ing in brackish creeks and rivers
has been fair to good. Some es-
pecially attractive strings of yel-
low perch have been taken in

Army's starting quarterback.
Pete Vann, is doing a top job in

Army team is considerably lighter
than usual and not as tough de-

But the Cadets know what to do

strong enough to Offset their

For Navy we find one of the

These three men will make it
necessary for Army to pass and

The quarterback has the option

The Washington areas only
unbeaten, united high school,
football teams, Episcopal and
Landon, have grabbed more than
half of the first-team selections
on The Stars 1858 All-Prep
squad.
Powerful Episcopal, winner OF
nine straight games. places five
players while Landon, champion
of the Interstate Academic Con-
ference, has two on the first
string. SidWell Friends, loser
only to Landon in eight games,
also pulls down a pair of first
team spots.
The two remaining places 60
to ST. Adams and Woodward.
Episcopal, which also placed
two boys on the second team
and four more in the honorable
mention column. had as it's chief
nominees Fullback John Bur-
ress, Guard Nelson Weston and
Halfback Fletcher Carter.
BurresS, a 190-pound power
runner with exceptional speed,
broke three records at Episcopal
this fall when he carried the
ball 164 times for a gross of
1,048 yards and 1000 net. He
was an outstanding linebacker
and handled most of his teams
punting.
Carter Hurt Early in Season.
Carter also is a Junior who
will be eligible to enroll at any
one of several Southern colleges
after this school year. An ankle
injury forced Carter to play
sparingly early in the season
but he managed 101 carries for
719 yards and a IL average per
try, What he lacks in speed
he makes up with stiffness and
hard running,
Weston, a South Carolinian
who is headed for his States
university next fall, led Episco-
pals defense with more than 80
tackles. His coach, Lee Nc
Laughlin, rated the 195-pound
senior his best defensive lineman
and considered him even better
on offense.

by each. To show how evenly
matched they are, the two
teams were only one point apart
in respective scores against
Duke, one of the top teams in

Blue Devils, 0 to 0.
Both teams use the T-forma-
ton with variations. Coach Earl
Blalk of Army has a play his
teams have used successfully for
eight years. The only difference
I note in this play and the one
we faced so many times is that
he now has his linemen split

In this play the quarterback
takes the ball from center and
fakes a handoff to the right
halfback who angles in toward
the center of the line, causing
the defensive men to start run

terback then gives the ball to the
fullback who heads for the right
heel of his own right end. Be-
cause the defense is edging to the
right it makes it susceptible to
