U. s. Smokers
Set New Peak
.ForCigarettes
~ the Associated Press

Americans. despite lung can
Ger talk. are smoking cigarettes
at q record clip.
The Agriculture Department
reported today that domestic
consumption Of cigarettes Is
running at a new high.
The department said produce
ton Of cigarettes during the
year ending June 80 will reach
about 446 billion or about IL
billion more than In the pre-
ceding l2-month period.
Domestic Record
The report said domestic con-
sumption took about 90 per
cent Of the total and was q
record high.
Commercial exports we're said
10 have been probably the larg-
est in nine years.
The department said the in
crease in cigarette consumption
largely reflects an increase In
the number Of persons OF smok-
ing age and q continuing trend
toward filter tip cigarettes.
The department said that q
decline in the total quantity Of
tobacco used in cigarettes may
have been halted. In years
prior to this, the quantity Of
farm sales by weight Of tobacco
used in cigarettes declined in
the face Of significant increases
In sales Of cigarettes.
Leaf Sale Decline
Many factors tending to re-
duce leaf tobacco requirements
were said to be a trend to filter
tips. most Of which use less
tobacco than regulars, and in
creased use Of sheet tobacco
and stems.
The department also esti-
mated production Of cigars and
cigarillos during 1878 at
50 billion. an increase Of about
az per cent over the previous
year.

appeared" He complained that
the reductions last year, al
though more than made up in
the current bill, were voted
over the objections of Presi-
dent Eisenhower, the Joint
Chiefs of STAFF and Defense
Department authorities. But
he agreed with Mr.. Mahon
that the present bill allots in
creased funds where most
needed for greater progress.
Mr.. Mahon defended the
earlier cuts on the ground
that the budget presented last
year by the administration was
too fat" He conceded from
"hindsight" that last years
budget should have provided
more for rocketry and space
weapons. But he insisted that
Congress gave every dollar
that was requested for those
purposes and in general APP
proved all other programs
The 1888 billion in new APP
preparations for the coming
fiscal year, he said, is "a very
decided step in the direction
Of strength"

Mahon warned that the Amer
lean people still ARE thinking
too much. about how to keep
up with the Joneses than how
to keep up with the Russians
in space technology and the
cold war" He had criticism
also for persons or methods
he said keep the American
people confused or unduly
optimistic about this country's
progress.

a weapon at a time when it is

 Previously McCord appeared by invitation before a subcommittee of the Presidents Cabinet with request that a subsidized mail contract be let and that more adequate transportation bic established from Seward to Dutch Harb0r and the Aleutans. He urged calling for bids that would result in vessel being placed that that along with the mail would carry freight and passengers. Then Ill the Of flee of the Postmaster General the arrangements were made that placed the steamer "Star" on that run This was beginning of recognition of the needs of the District in Alaska known as the Westward"
 In the early 2O's McCord went to the states with power of attorney from Alaskans who had staked oil claims the Alaska peninsula.
