Wilson Tells Senators Eisenhower
Never Dictated on Military Costs
WASHINGTON, i/P)—Secretary
of Defense Wilson testified today
that President Eisenhower never
has dictated specific ceilings or
cuts in military spending.
“The President never told me
you’ve got to cut your military
budget so much, never in 3Vi>
years,” Wilson said.
The defense secretary was be
fore a special Senate subcommit
tee inquiring into relative U.S.
Russian air power. Demands in
Congress for increased funds f )r
the Air Force have received stim
ulus from the hearings by this
group under the chairmanship of
Belugas Among
Worst Predators
Of Alaska Salmon
JUNEAU—While the scientists
try to develop a supersonic
“shoo!” in the dulcet tones of a
killer whale, Jim Brooks is still
chasing belugas out of the rivers
of Bristol Bay the hard way.
The University of Alaska grad
uate, now the supervisor of preda
tor control work for the Alaska
Department of Fisheries, stopped
off here for a few days this week
between the critical beluga season
on Bristol Bay and a busy bout
with sea lions on Prince William
Sound.
The beluga, a white whale, has
now been demonstrated conclu
sively aftter three ^cars of study
on the Nushagak and Kvichak
Rivers to be responsible for seri
ous losses in downstream migrat
ing salmon, Brooks says. The swift
killers also consume substantial
numbers of adult fish.
In three years Brooks has col
lected 140 belugas. Examination
of stomach contents has shown
salmAn to be their chief diet dur
ing the time of year when salmon
are available. Each stomach ex-'
aminecl in the first two years of
the study averaged slightly more
than 600 downstream migrant;
salmon. One beluga had gorged 1
on 2,800 young salmon.
Adult salmon, both pinks and
reds, are also gobbled by the be-1
luga, with one stomach yielding
16 grown salmon, including some
kings. 1

Sen. Symington (D-Mo>, one-time
secretary of the Air Force in the
Truman Administration.
Questioned by Counsel
Wilson’s assertion that Eisen
hower never fixed a ceiling on the
military budget capped a series
of questions from Fowler Hamil
ton, committee counsel, about
memoranda and letters from the
Budget Bureau, a White House
agency, to the Defense Dept.
The general import of Hamil
ton’s line of inquiry was whether
the size of military budgets was
determined chiefly by national
security considerations or was
greatly affected by administration
fiscal policies.
Cautions Against Excesses
Wilson went before the senators
with a prepared statement in
which he cautioned against in
sisting upon “excessive” U.S. mil
itary strength.
Under instruction from Presi
dent Eisenhower to “lay it on the
line,” Wilson declared:
“Our objective is to deter war
by every honorable means. It is
not our objective to over-arm or
to give any country cause for
alarm.”
Don't Flaunt or Belittle
“We do not need or wish to
flaunt (this country’s military
strength) before the world,” he
added, “but it would be a serious
disservice to our country and - the
morale of the free world to belit
tle it.”
Wilson read his prepared text
slowly and deliberately. The old
Supreme Court chamber in the
capitol where the hearing was
held was literally packed with
standees in every square foot of
space not filled by chairs.
George Kendrick, who has been
here with the Yuba Construction
Co. for the past three weeks,.
leaves today for his home in Cali
fornia to see his new son, born
yesterday.

Last Supply Mission
To DEW Line Stations
Passes Through Seattle
SEATTLE, (if)—The last great
construction supply mission to
Distant Early Warning radar
stations in the far north now is
passing through Seattle, the Ar
my’s chief of transportation said
here Wednesday.
All western DEW Line cargo
except petroleum originating in
the Long Beach area is being
loaded through the Seattle Army
terminal, Maj. Gen. Paul F.
Yount said.
However, this year’s arctic fleet
should complete delivery of ma
terial for installation in the radar
stations. After that, the DEW
Line mission probably will be
limited to maintenance equipment
and supplies.
(Fifty freighters, icebreakers,
and auxiliary ships now are ren
dezvousing in Puget Sound for
scheduled departure of the DEW
Line convoys July 16 and 21.)
