House Approved Cuts In Military
Manpower Headed For Senate Fight
BY WILLIAM F. ABRoGAST

WASHINGTON, Up Over
whelmingly approved by the
House, President Eisenhower's
program to cut military man
power during the new fiscal year
headed today for a new fight in
the Senate.
Despite outSpoken criticism
from some senators, advance in
dications were that the President
would be upheld also by the Sen
ate when it gets around to voting
on the subject some weeks hence
The manpower curtailment plan
won the backing of the House
yesterday as it passed 1920 bill
to give the Defense Department
$31, 488, 206,O0O in new funds for
the fiscal year starting July !
On successive and lopSided
voice votes, the House beat down
amendments which would have
boosted the bills money total and
maintained military manpoWer
during the new year at levels
projected for June 80 Of this year.
The Presidents program, ap-
proved without change, culls for
an overall cut Of 10000 from
that figure by June 30, 1856, with
the Army being trimmed $1,000,
the Navy $500 and the Marine
Corps $4,000 and the Air Force
increased by 5000.
Rep. Flood D-Pa) told the House
it was unsafe, in the light of exist
ing conditions, to pare down mill
tary strength. He said Russia is
building up her army, navy and
air force and obviously isn't pre-
pairing for peace.
He said the main administration
argument for the cuts was that
they would help balance the bud
get, but he added:
That's a sham-you know the
budget won't be balanced"
Chairman Cannon O-Mo) of the
Appropriations Committe replied
that the next war would be de-
cided in three or four days-"at
most a Week"-With no chance
for getting the added divisions
into full action.

Alaska Airlines Proposes
SIS Differential In Fares
For PAA DEG Service

WASHINGTON, Up i Pan Am
erican World Anyways yesterday
opposed Alaska Airlines' proposal
for a SIS differential between
flights Of DC-4 and DC-6B air
craft from Seattle to Fairbanks.
Howard Hamstra, Pan Ameri-
can counsel, told the Civil Aero
nautics Board Alaska's request
was prompted by a desire to have
protection" in the competitive
market.
alaska is getting all the traffic
it is entitled to until it gets out
and buys some decent aircraft, !"
Hamstra declared.
But James Bell, Alaska attor-
ney, contended the differential
was a sound proposal based on
value Of service. Inasmuch as
DC-4s operated by Alaska are I'M
pressurized and take ga hours
longer between the two cities, he
said, passengers should be per-
united to use them at a lower
fare.
The board took the proposal
under study.

They're making the miles lot shorter
this season-for drivers who wheel
'Turbo-F Fire V8's"!
And that's scarcely an exaggeration,
because you've never driven anything so
satin-smooth, so tremendously vital and
responsive, so eager to go arrowing for
the far horizon.
There are sound engineering reasons
for their superiority the shortest stroke
in the industry, the most power per
pound and the highest standard COM
preston ratio in their class. They are
the only engines in the low-price field
that are balanced after assembly, for
turbine smoothness at any speed-and
the only ones with the double punch of
12-volt electrical system.
There are dozens of other major ad-
vantages. But the proof is manifest on
the road, in the lightning thrust of
acceleration, the dreamlike hush of their
cruising.
That's the 162-h.p. 'Turbo-Fire Vs."
But there is something beyond this: the
Super Turbo- Fire. with four-barrel
carburetor, special manifold, dual ex-

Did you ever wonda why that

and like everybody eBe conjectured
that it is because thfre used to be
some Indians around There some time
or other. In this tBey were correct
there were India1s all over Ohio,
about 5000 of theIh when the white
men first came and Ithey lived in little
villages of a dozeh or two families,
usually on some v Tater course.
Cuyaga as far back as 200 years
ago was the principal town of that
tribe of the IroquoiA and stood at the
mouth of Cuyaga river, where Cleve-
land later was buil4. Subsequently
the white people twisted the name
into Cuyahoga and named a county
after it.
The Iroauois werS the great north
ern Indian federation, made up of the
Senecas, Oneidas, IOnondagas, Cuya-
gas and MohawkS. When the Tus-
carawas were con auered by and join

the powerful Sin Nations. The Iro-
ouois were a scr4 4ppy outft-just like

Get Out and Get Underl

The Star alertly called its
readers attention to the article
in the current U. S. News and
World Report regarding Soviet
plans for activity in Antarc-
tica. and now am wondering
what your editorial writer's and
your readers think about this
exceedingly important matter.
With the Soviets apparently
planning to creep up on South
east Asia and Australia from
Antarctic submarine bases, not
for scientific studies but for
imposition of barbaric rule. it
seems high time United States
citizens insist upon proper
United States activity in the
Antarctic. such as claiming and
occupying lands rightfully our
own. This is common sense and
there are measures now in
Congress on territorial claims
for citizens to study and make
decisions upon. 1t is up to
citizens to press this matter
and let Congress know the will
Of the people.
The United States has been
too late in certain instances in
recent years. Inasmuch as we
are not yet an aged and dod-
dering nation, let us not be too
late in the Antarctic matter.
lest we find the Soviets en-
trenched there in force while
we slumber.

Teacher SHORTAGE

Despite the efforts of school officials
to allay public CONSERVATION over the
unexpected teacher shortage In the ele-
mentary schools, the fact remains that
needs for the new term were incorrectly
estimated. The mistake was aggravated
by failure to discover it until a week
before the schools opened. Had the mis-
calculation been detected two or three
weeks earlier, steps now being taken be-
latedly to correct the situation would
: have been completed in time to ease the
blow before the start of classes That
would have averted much of the confu-
sion that has marked the opening of the
.fall term.
: School authorities point out that
Similar stresses and readjustments among
the schools have occurred in past years,
especially in the colored schools. Esti-
mates of pupil loads for each school made
months in advance often turn out to be
incorrect, due to shifts in population or
other causes. Usually, however, there is
ample time before the start of classes to
make the redistribution of teaching per-
sonnet required to take care of the
stresses and strains that had developed
during the recess. This year, however,
apparently because of slowness in tabu-
lating and analyzing estimated needs the
fact that 40 elementary schools would
be short a teacher or two until other
arrangements could be made was not dis
covered until last week.
To meet this situation, teachers are
being transferred from some schools that
can spare them to schools where classes
are loaded beyond the 36-pupil maximum
regarded as desirable. There are not
many elementary schools which have any
classes much below the maximum, how
ever. The exact number of teachers
available for redistribution probably will
not be known until full enrolment figures
for all schools are in Other teachers win
become available as vacancies occur in
ensuing weeks in the secondary schools,
where class overlooking is not serious
problem. But the outlook is for diversified
classes in some of the elementary schools
for some time yet. Better planning might
have averted this unfortunate devel-
opment.

Shift of Ambassadors

The Washington diplomatic corps loses
popular and effective Ambassador this
week and regains one who showed the
same qualifications in previous assign
ment here. The shift will occur at the
Embassy of Pakistan when Amjad Ali
leaves for new duties in Karachi and
Mohammed Ali returns to post he held
for fourteen months in 1852 and 1858.
In the interim period, Mr.. Mohammed
Ali has been Prime Minister of his coun-
try. 1t was during his leadership Of his
government that Pakistan entered into a
mutual defense assistance agreement
with the United States and into treaty
alliance with Turkey. In these commit
ments, Mr.. Mohammed Ali was suiting
his action to his words with reference
to the cold war between Communist and
Communist parts of the world. Il
do not believe in neutrality" he told a
news conference during visit to this
country last year. Zone has to align one
self with one side or with the other. That
is why we have aligned ourselves with the
West"
Meanwhile Mr.. Amjad Ali was demon
strating the same type of active friend
illness for the United States during more
than two years as Ambassador here An
economist as well as diplomat, he served
also as President of the Economic and
Social Council of the United Nations and
worked closely with the International
Bank and Monetary Fund Before his
appointment as Ambassador, he came to
Washington as chief of the Pakistani
mission to negotiate the wheat grant
which our country made to Pakistan dur
ing the famine there in 1853.
1t seems evident that this change In
diplomatic representation will not inter-
fere with the close cooperation between
the two governments.
