Senate Group
Votes New Funds
For All Military
m/
WASHINGTON (JV-The Senate
Appropriations Committee Tues
day added more than 700 million
dollars to Air Force funds previ
ously voted by the House and
then approved a money bill car
rying nearly 32 billions of new
funds for all defense agencies.
At the same time the purse
string group beat down efforts to
prevent cutbacks in the Army and
Marines ordered by Secretary of
Defense Wilson and approved by
President Eisenhower.
Sen. Chavez (D-NM), subcom
mittee chairman for the huge de
fense bill, said the Marine pro
posal was beaten 13-7 but de
clined to list senators’ names.
It would have prevented a cut
back from 205,000 men earlier
this year to 193,000 by June 30 of
next year, and required 40 million
additional funds.
The Army motion, defeated 14
to €, was to provide an additional
$250 million dollars to prevent a
cutback in the Army from 1,114,
000 to 1,027,000 a year from now.
French Auto Racing
Suspended Pending
New Safety Code
PARIS 14*)—The French govern
ment has suspended all auto races
throughout France until a new

Agency reported Monday night,
however,* that the new regulations
are expected to be ready in dime
for the next major race, the Grand
Prix de Reims scheduled for
July 2.

were killed. It was the worst
tragedy in the history of racing.
Mass funeral services for the
victims were held yesterday in

Singer's Bushoy Admirer
Booked in Connection
With Sadistic Attack
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,
UP>—A busboy admirer of band vo
calist Alice Lon may be subjected
to a lie detector test in connection
with the sadistic attack on the
singer, her husband and her
mother.
Police detectives booked Joseph
M. Cannon, 25, on suspicion of
robbery. Miss Lon, 27, identified
him as one of her fan club mem
bers who has taken pictures of
her at the ballroom where she
sings with Lawrence Welk’s or
chestra.
But officers said a camera roll
found in Cannon’s room contained
no pictures of the singer. The
hooded three-man gang, breaking
into her home Sunday, took 120
pieces of costume jewelry and
forced her to pose nude while
they photographed her.
They kicked and beat her hus
band, Robert M. Waterman, and
her mother, Mrs. Mary Wyche.
Her three children were not hurt.
Cannon claims he was in San
Bemadino at the time. Officers
say they found he was in that city
on Saturday and Sunday after
noon, but have not yet verified his
whereabouts during the early
Sunday hours the singer was ter
