House Committee Cuts Defense Fund. Blasts Missile Fuss
By WILLIAM F. ABRoGAST

WASHINGTON, R - With a blast at Pentagon rivalries, "con- fusion and duplication" the House Appropriations Committee Thursday recommended $38,848,- 399,000 in new funds for the De- fense Department
 In cutting $399,861, ,0OO from the amount requested by President Eisenhower for the year starting July l, the committee told the Army and Air Force to cease lbick- ering over who has the best mis- siles, called for a general tight ening up on defense operations, and spoke of a growing Soviet military threat.
 On the face of it's action, it sided with the Army in it's mis- -sile war with the Air Force by boosting Army funds and cutting Air Force money for missiles.
 It approved funds to strengthen the Strategic Air Command, to shore up the Navy's antisubmarine warfare program, and to expedite work on atomic airplanes.
 It disapproved the Presidents plans to reduce the strength of the National Quad and the Re serve forces, but went along with his figures for active military manpoWer.
 It refused the Navy's request for 260 million dollars to build a new aircraft carrier.
 It voted to authorize the Pres ident to keep bombers in the air around the clock if necessary to prevent their destruction on the ground by sneak attack. These and other actions were included in a bill the committee sent to the House floor for debate next week.
 "The nation must always be prepared for the worst" the con- mittee said in report written for Rep. George Mahon O-Tex). ''The threat is expected to Worsen As long. as we are well prepared for general nuclear war, such a war is much less likely. The nation is prepared today to meet the mili- t9ry threat it faces"
 Testimony taken during months of hearings behind closed doors, the committee said, 'clearly indi- cates that there is something wrong in our present military planning, there is so much confu- sion and duplication" and too much pickering over ''who gets what"

Alaska Motorists Best National Safety Record

CHlCAGO, lR - Alaska had a sharp decline in traffic deaths in the first four months of 1859, in contrast to the general trend, the National Safety Council reported yesterday.
 Traffic fatalities in Alaska dropped 33 per cent in the four months, compared with the same period in 1858. Louisiana had the next best showing with 26 per cent decrease. The report for Alaska gave only percentages.
 Nationally, traffic deaths to- taled 10,68O in the first four months of the year - an increase of 4 per cent from the 10,270 deaths in the same 1858 period.
 The Safety Council estimated that highway accidents also in- jured 100000 persons seriously in the four-month period. Unless the trend changes, the council said, the nation is headed for a death toll at least 1,000 higher than the 37,O00 recorded last year.

Selections TO be read from
Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Bak-
er Eddy will include the follow
ing (75:l3: Jesus restored Laz-
arus by the understanding that
Lazarus had never died, not by
an admission that his body had
died and then lived again. Had
Jesus believed that Lazarus had
lived or died in his body, the
Master would have stood on the
same plane Of belief as those
who buried the body, and he
could not have resuscitaed it."
The Golden Text is from
Psalms (ll8:l4, 17): "The Lord
Is my strength and song, and is
become my salvation I shall
not die, but live, and declare
the works of the Lord"
