most of my travelling on skis or

least one trip a month out with
my furs. On these trips I went by
horseback. They were usually
hard trips. While on the last leg
of such a trip. I experienced
something which think will

time. On my way home from
Browning to Babb, had spent
the first night at the half way
station. Stones ranch. and was
well on my way to complete the
second half when q storm blew
in from the north. The snow

man Of the Senate Republican
Conference. backed up Mr..
Halleck's remarks. He empha-
sized that the country must
keep prepared not for just one
crisis today. but more a posi-
BILE indefinite series of crises.
Firm on Revision
Mr.. Halleck told questioners
he did not believe the President
would agree to any revision Of
the scheduled cuts In Army and
Marin Corps manpower. Sem
ator Saltonstall said he thought
the President would make clear
! his position on such questions
at his news conference sched-
uled for 1920 am. tomorrow.
Mr.. Halleck said the COP
leaders also discussed with the
President in a preliminary
way. proposals to increase rail-
road retirement pay. to extend
the temporary unemployment
compensation benefits, and to
set up a Federal pay commits
sion to remove inequities. He
said no conclusions were
reached on these matters.
AS for the temporary extern
sion of unemployment benefits
due to expire this spring. Mr..
Haileck said the discussion
boiled down to stressing that
the law passed last year was
temporary and that "in limits
it should be kept temporary"
His remarks implied. ale
though he would not say so de
rectly. that the administration
may give some ground to Dem
ocratic moves to extend the
extra benefits.

Republican Congressional
leaders emphasized after a
White House conference today
that the Joint Chiefs Of Staff
approved President Eisenhow-
er's defense budget as IAN over
all package" adeuate for the
Nations defense.
House q OPP. Leader Halleck
said he thought this point
should be stressed In view Of
SOME statements being made. in
Congress that might raise ques-
ton In minds Of the people
about preparedness.
His comment followed calls
by Senate Democrats yesterday
on President Eisenhower to
rescind scheduled cuts in Army
and Marine Corps manpower.
! Senate Democratic Leader
johnson put into the record
yesterday detailed reservations
made by Army, Navy ir Force
and Marine Corps chiefs on the
administrations defense budg-
ct estimates for 1860 fiscal year
Differ on Own Funds
Mr.. Halleck said that obvi-
ously there are service differ
ences over "how big a slice" of
the total money budgeted for
defense each service should
have.
But, he emphasized. "the
central fact is" that the Joint
Chiefs have agreed that the
overall defense package" is
adequate.
When people who ought to
know best determine what is
adequate" Mr.. Halleck con-
tended. it would weaken rather
than strengthen the country to
spend more.
