With which Congress is now

Chairman Mahon of the House
Iilitary Appropriations subcom-

that the suggested cuts were
as follows:
Army 81 billion from SCI

budget.
Navy--Sl billion from $10.4

Air Forests billion from
SITS billion.
The Pentagon has set an April
/ deadline for figuring out the
cuts.
Asked More Funds
Recently all the services asked
for more funds than Mr.. Eisen-
hover proposed to Congress in
January. For instance, the Air
Force initially figured it needed
$2l billion.
In view of this and despite
countrywide pressure for anti
inflationary cuts. Mr.. Mahon also
has asked the Pentagon to sub
nit proposals on how they would
spend additional monies.
I'VE have just completed six
weeks hearings on Mr.. Eisen-

ocrat said.
II have asked all the services

tinued.

Cut Urged by House
u. n. roops Reported
Restricted in Gozo Area

GAIA, Mar. is tPl.-An Egyp-
tan spokesman says agreement
has been reached in principle"
on the function of United Ma
tons troops In the GAIA Strip.
He did not elaborate, but it was
understood he meant they would
be restricted to positions along
the GAIA Israeli border.
An Arab resident of GAIA was
shot dead today in street near
United Nations Emergency
Force headquarters.
Egyptian military police said
witnesses told them the shot was
fired from the top of UNEF
headquarters, where an armed
guard is posted.
1t was feared the incident
might provoke new tension be-
tween GaZans and UNEF.
In another incident, a Gazan
was seriously wounded today by
a mysterious shot which struck
him as he walked down the
street.
Reliable informants said in
Cairo 600 to 700 Egyptian army
reconnaissance and military po-
lice moved into Ell Arish yester-
day to take over defense of that
area from the UNEF. Ell Arish
is Is miles west of the border
of the GAIA Strip.
Further Move Doubted
The informants-who are in a
position to know-said they
doubted the Egyptians at this
time would move units on into
the GAIA Strip. The newspaper
AL Gumhurriya said earlier that
Egyptian troops would occupy
two points IN the strip today.
Egyptian liaison officers have
informed UNEF that it is neces-
sary to station units in FL Arish
since the Egyptians are now TAX
ing over defense of that coastal
area on the Sinai Peninsula.
Ell Arish was a vital Egyptian
defense point before the Israeli
attack last October.
Israel expressed alarm over
the speedy return of Egyptian
control in the GAIA area. which
Israeli forces reluctantly evac-
uated only a week ago under
strong U. N. and United States
pressure.

Polish Communists are turn
