Van Fleet Offered Job
As Military Adviser To
Appropriations Committee
WASHINGTON, (A — Deep in
controversy over his claims of
ammunition shortages in Korea,
Gen. James A. Van Fleet Friday
had the offer of a job that would
give him potent influence on na
tional defense.
It was an invitation to serve as
staff military adviser to the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee,
which will have a big say about
how many billions of dollars Con
gress will vote for defense in the
months ahead.
Chairman Bridges (R-NH) of
the pursestring committee said he
and Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich),
chairman of the Defense Funds
subcommittee, Thursday invited
Van Fleet to take the military ad
viser post.
“The general told us that • he
would take it under considera
tion,” Ferguson said, adding it
may be several days before Van
Fleet decides.
Nushagak River Will Not
Be Closed Salmon Fishing
SEATTLE, Iff) — Jim Downey,
secretary-treasurer of the Bering
Sea Fishermen’s Union, says the
Fish and Wildlife Service has as
sured him it is going to amend
its order to close completely the
Nushagak River in Alaska to com
mercial salmon fishing.
Downey, his assistant, Truman
Emberg and the Seattle union
agent, Ted Nakkerud, returned
Wednesday from Washington.
In the national capital they had
protested that closing the river
would wipe out a fishing village
whose inhabitants depend on the
river’s salmon for their livelihood.
Downey said the FWS also told
him it would institute a program
to control Dolly Varden trout in
the river. The trout is a predatory
fish which feeds on fingerling sal
mon and other young fish.
Water flows over Niagara Falls
at an average rate of 212,000 cubic
feet a second.

Eisenhower and Weeks
Accept Resignation Head
Of Bureau of Standards
WASHINGTON, W) — President
Eisenhower, backing up Secretary
of Commerce Weeks, Thursday
accepted the resignation of Dr.
Allen V. Astin as director of the
National Bureau of Standards.
Astin resigned after Weeks
asked him to quit.
Weeks said he called foT the
resignation on the ground that the
bureau, a unit of the Commerce
Department, had not been “suf
ficiently objective” in its testing
methods. He said there also were
other reasons but did not disclose
them.
Weeks singled o*ut for special
mention the bureau’s decision that
a battery “dope” was no good.
“Dope” is a mixture designed to
pep up aging batteries.
Astin said bureau scientists
found that the battery “dope” put
out by Pioneers, Inc., did not pep
up batteries as the company
claims. Weeks said it does.
Astin’s job, which is a career
one, pays $15,000 a year. Politics
are not supposed to figure in the
assignment.

Former Secretary Snyder
Defends Reorganization
Of Treasury Department
WASHINGTON, UP — John W.
Snyder, secretary of the treasury
in the Truman administration,
says it is not true that the In
ternal Revenue Bureau was pack
ed with “pet stooges” of the ad
ministration, as charged by Sen.
Williams (R-Del).
Wiliams made the accusation
in the Senate yesterday, calling
last year’s reorganization of the
Bureau a “dismal failure.” The
senator said new legislation is
needed to correct abuses.
Snyder, now an officer of the
Willys-Overland Co., issued th;s
statement in Toledo, Ohio:
“Reorganization of the Bureau j
of Internal Revenue was carried
out in accordance with the spirit
and letter cf the act passed by
Congress.
“All appointments were made
in a manner prescribed by law
and appointees were selected
strictly on a merit basis.”

Government Headed For
6 and a Half Billion Deficit
WASHINGTON, UP) — Govern
ment finance specialists said Fri
day the country appears headed
for a deficit of nearly 6V£ billion
dollars—about a half-billion more
than predicted — by the end of
the fiscal year on June 30.
The specialists, who asked not
to be named, said in separate in
terviews:
1. With most of the big March
tide of tax dollars counted, net
revenues this year may be a bil
lion dollars less than the $68,697,
000,000 former President Truman
predicted in his final budget mes
sage last January.
2. With the fiscal year three
quarters gone, expenditures may
run about a half-billion less than
the $74,593,000,000 Truman fore
cast.
This would mean a deficit of
about $6,400,000,000 rather than
the $9,896,000,000 forecast by
Truman. Such a deficit would
hamper President Eisenhower’s
drive to balance the budget for
fiscal 1954, starting July 1.
