Senate Unit Rejects
Yorktown Shaft Plea
BY the Associoted Press

Proponents of a new Victory
Monument shaft of the surren-
der grounds at Yorktown, Va,
may soon be forced to surrender
themselves.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee has turned down a
House-approved appropriation of
$50,000 for new plans and q
model for a new shaft.
Senator Robertson, Democrat.
OF Virginia, a member of the
committee, predicted Sculptor
Oskar j. w. Hansen will have
to go ahead with his contract to
put his new figure of Victory
atop the old shaft.
Robertson said the House ac-
tion called for a new location as
well as a new shaft and that this
proposal ran into opposition.
If the Senate itself doesn't
restore the $4,000, the money
could be added to the till by the
House-Senate Conference Com
mittee, which later will adjust
differences between House and
Senate versions of the annual
Interior Department appropria-

such q proposal is not likely to

that we can't write down in
words-we say well, We'll leave

Mr.. Quarles asserted that the
Defense Department only wanted
more leeway to tell our allies
about the external character

propose to tell them what's in

Mr.. Cole then asked whether
the words external characters

language wouldn't meet the de-
partment's needs.
Mr.. Quarles said, II believe it
will, although I'd like to study
the words"
Along another line, Repre-
sentative Hinshaw, Republican,
of California cautioned that the
wording of one section of the
bill could lead ito the liquida-
ton of the Atomic Energy Com
He referred to Sec
tlon 81, which states that the

Mr.. Busbey had personally
looked over the plant, according

For salaries and expenses at

quest. and $185.0OO above the

"The instruction staff" the
report said. especially in the
liberal arts school, is in great
need of being strengthened
rather than being reduced. In
addition, the new dental build
