/ plenty Of unspent money ap-
propriated In past years that
it can draw on in coming
months. While 1885 "appro-
priations" are being reduced
1883 spending can continue
merrily upward-and it prob
ably will so continue.
Congress has been making
headlines with its reductions of
appropriations for the Defense
Department.
But let's be honest: Many of
its slasheS are strictly book
keeping devices. And rising
cost of steel. cement, coal, oil,
transportation will pad the De-
Tense Departments expenses no
matter what Congress does.
New Programs Whacked
Congress is whacking away
at some new programs, is APP
parently set on shelving a few
activities that could swell the
budget substantially.
But at the same time, it is
paving the way for Government
pay raises that will have an
immediate impact on Federal
spending-and if the President
vetoes the pay raise bills, Con-
greSs is likely to override the
vetoes. 1t is spending millions
on Investigations and on ex-
perts to help in the probes. Its
members will be taking off on
some lush worldwide junkets
this fall. Its economy drive is
not being applied to itself and
its own spending is moving
steadily higher.
And over some factors bal
looming the budget, Congress
has no control whatsoever. For
instance. the cost of CARRYING
the National debt is soaring as
the Treasury puts out new
United States obligations at
the highest interest rates in a
quarter-century. And the cost
OF carrying the National debt
is one of the giant items in our
Federal budget.
Where, then, does out bet
stand?
The way I figure it now. Mrs
Burgess will have to hold our
nickels until the end OF JULY
l958-when we'll have the fig
ures to tell us what really
happened in the 1858 fiscal
year.
And If her husband is willing
to risk another nickel. I'll raise
our bet to a dime. wager that
when payoff date comes. we'll
find that 1858 spending wasn't
a penny under $7l.S billion: it
was billions over.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Bet on the BUDGET

In March. when the budget
hearings were reaching a peak,
Under Secretary of the Treas
ury w. Randolph Burgess and
l met at a little party and
made a gentlemen's bet Of one
nickel to this effect:
l, the challenger. bet that
after all the sound and fury in
Slashing President Eisenhow-
er'S $71.8 billion budget for
1858. the cuts made wouldn' t
come to 81 billion. In fact.
said that when the 1858 fiscal
year is closed next June 80. the
Government would have spent
far more than the estimated
$71.8 billion.
The Under Secretary bet that
real cuts in the budget go way
above 81 billion. And he was
confident that when this cur
rent l2-month period ends,
spending would turn out below
original estimates.
Mrs. Burgess is holding our
nickels until payoff time.
Well, it's near the end of
July, and instead of having a
clear idea of which one of us
is going to be the winner, I
hereby publicly confess that
the bafflegab on the budget
this year is so befuddling l
doubt if anyone - including
leaders in Congress and the Ad-
ministra tion-knows where the
budget stands.
Hypocrisy Charged
Just to suggest the extent of
the hypocrisy, the budget dou-
bletalk. consider these few
points:
Congress apparently is going
to end up cutting "appropria-
tions" from the original esti-
mates by 50 to 81 billion. In
simple language. that means
Congress is not going to give
the administration as much
new authority as was at first
requested to write checks to
meet Government expenses.
But simultaneously. Congress
is not cutting most of the Gov

Alaska Maker
 Of Artificial Limbs Tells Unique Problems

WASHINGTON, R-The prob lems of an artificial limb maker in Alaska are sometimes almost insurmountable, says Alpha Ome- ga Rogers, 38, of Anchorage.
 Getting supplies and covering a huge territory are only some of them. There are also such things as what to do for polar bear hunter who suffers sharply from cold in the stump of his right arm.
 Rogers, who is himself minus a left foot, arrived Sunday to dis cuss some of his problems with colleagues at the national assem- bly, of the artificial limb and brace profession.
 As the only limb maker in Alas ka, he was the center of attention.
 Rogers, like most Alaskan resi- dents, loves the territory and did little politicking for statehood.
 He brought with him gold mug gets, walrus tusk bracelets, and his fur parka made from the pelts of II different kinds of animals.
 Rogers moved to Alaska five years ago from California. He said it took him 10 years to talk his wife into it but now she would not leave.

Seasons Flashiest Nuclear Test Shot Seen at 400 Miles

ATOMIC TEST SITE, New, lR The seasons flashiest nuclear test shot burst over the desert Saturday with enough brilliance to be seen thru a drizzle 400 miles away in San Francisco.
 The Atomic Energy Commis- sion said the blast packed less of a wallop than had been predicted. But a newsman watching from Las Vegas, 75 miles away, said the flash was the brightest he'd seen during the summer and fall series.
 Saturdays shot, code-named Charleston, was the 23rd and next to the last of the series. The AEC said the final shot, called Morgan, may ready for firing next Friday.
 A spokesman of the test organi- zation said the Charleston was highly experimental ... with wide range of yield possible. :" He said the yield was actually below normal, and not above what was considered possible.
 A nominal shot has the power of 10000 tons of INT.

US. Satellites May Reach 2.OOO Miles

WASHINGTON, R-A research CT said today American earth sat elites may soar as high as 1000 miles above the earth-5O0 miles higher than the previous maxi mum estimate.
 Richard Tousey of the US. Ma val Research Laboratory gave the new altitude estimate in a report prepared for an international con- ference designed to summarize and coordinate the rocket and earth satellite programs of vari- ous nations for the International Geophysical Year.
 Attending the six-day barley opening today were delegates from 12 nations, including the United States and Russia, which are the only two nations planning to launch satellites.
 Tousey mentioned only casual ly that perhaps" the American satellites might attain height of 2,O0O miles in their oval-shaped orbits.
 Six of the satellites are to be launched before the end of ICY in December 1858, but no dates have yet been announced.

All Three Aboard Survive Crash
 Of Plane Enroute na-Fairbanks

The passengers aboard the special Chamber of Commerce Wien flight from Fairbanks this morning participated in search for a plane, missing since last evening on flight from Fair banks to Galena.
 Wien pilots Capt. George Stin- ton and co-pilot Tony Schultz, with many years experience in rescue work, first spotted a flare sent up by the downed plane, 36 miles southwest of Panama. They notified other searching planes, the nearest of which was Donald Stickrnan of Ruby, and also notified the search and res cue helicopter at Panama. The Wien plane circled the stricken craft until the rescue planes ar- rived at the scene.
 The plane, a Beechcraft Bon- anza, is owned by Mir. Hopkins of Fairbanks, who is a subcon- tractor for Peter Keiwitt Co. One wing was damaged, the pilot of the plane reported, and one of the two passengers suffered a back injury in the crash, which occurred in a tinbered area.

Wildlife Refuges Get High Priority in
 Proposed Legislation

MINNEAPOLIS, R-Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton said Saturday his. department soon will anouce a new set of regula- tions forbidding, with one excep- tion, all oil and gas leasing on federal wildlife refuges.
 Leasing would be allowed, he said, if 1t is shown to be absolute ly necessary to keep oil and gas under government lands from be- ing drained off by drilling in ad- jacent areas.
 Seaton declared the prospective tighter curb on leasing shows the value which we believe ought to be placed on our country's wildlife resources"
 Seaton said the nations recre- ation areas, already bursting at the seams, face an added impact from the rapidly growing popula- ton and increased leisure hours.
