hlght now, he continued, the So

DomDers capable of striking any

He emphasized that Ground OBJ
servers are essential to the cOun-

that case, ground observers would

Through the nation, over 100000
civilian volunteers are manning

The reason the watch is being

known fact that the Russian long

Sec. Wilson Sets Aside Money Voted to Boost Marine Corps Strength
By ELTON C. FAY

QUANTICO, Va, R-Money voted by Congress to boost Marine Corps strength has been impound- ed by Secretary of Defense Wilson while i've take another look"
 Wilson told a news conference at this Marine Corps base yester- day that he had directed the Pen tagon comptroller, w. J. McNeil, to set the extra money aside until officials decide what will be done.
 The administration successful ly defended in Congress President Eisenhower's plan for a cutback in Army and Navy forces but lost out to friends of the Marine Corps.
 Congress added S46 million to Defense Department appropria- tions not only to forestall sched- uled cut but actually to increase present Marine strength. It was this money which Wilson ordered put into a suspense fund" d"-rais- ing the. possibility the Marines will be cut despite Congress ac- ton.
 Marine Corps strength now stands at about 205,OOO men. The administration, under it's policy to reduce the size of all armed services except the Air Force, ordered a reduction in Marine strength to 195,OOO The Senate, with House support, voted that Marine strength should be 115,- 900.

The Scramble Is On
(Daily Alaska Ernpire)


 The names of several prominent Republicans are being banded about right in the speculation about who will be appointed to the First District judgeship left vacant by the death June of Judge George W. Folta Among those being mentioned are three Juneau residents: Howard Stabler, R. E. Robertson and H. L. Faulkner.
 According to story in the Anchorage Times this week the man holding down the front position appears to be Judge Walter Hodge of Nome formerly Cordova attorney Judge Hodge is said to have the backing of the Anchorage and Ketchikan Bar Associations Fourth Division Judge Vernon b Forbes of Fairbanks, conner to Alaska is also said to be seeking the Juneau post.
 Should Judge Hodge be appointed to the $25, ,0O0 a-year position, his term will for the full four years. The other the list would be considered to fill the Nome post
 The Times said Alaska Native Service Director William H. Olson, formerly of Anchorage and now residing here is also candidate Others being consd cred include Anchorage attorneys John Manders and Paul R, Robson, and Fairbanks attorney Mike Stepo- vch The talk is that Stepovch is being endorsed to fill the Nome judgeship should Judge Hodge land the Juneau position
 Only one non-Alaskan named in the Times story Seattle attorney Phillip w. School said to be endorsed by delegation of United States senators School is reported to be seeking endorsement in Alaska
 While Judge Hodge, on the basis of his endorse ment by the Anchorage and Ketchkan Bar Associa- tions would appear Shoo-in for the ob his opposite number in Fairbanks Judge Forbes, has some pretty good backing, too, according to the Times sources Forbes is said to have the support of Sen William Langer of North Dakota, Forbes home state Langer is ranking Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 All in all, one mans guess is as good as anothers as to who will land the iudgeshp But 1t does look like a real horse race between Hodge and Forbes-if the Times pipelines hold water that is.
