House Passes Bill to Give
$7% Million a Year to
Assist Rural Libraries
From the Washington Office
Of Alaska Del. E. L. Bartlett
Alaska is included in a bill
passed by the House last week
which would authorize annual ap
propriations of $7V£ millions a
year for a five-year period to as
sist in providing library service
in rural areas.
The money appropriated would
be allotted to the states and terri
tories in the following manner:
Each state or territory would
receive a basic allotment of $40,
000, except the Virgin Islands,
which would receive a basic allot
ment of $10,000. The balance of
the appropriation would be divid
ed among the states and territor
ies on the basis of their rural pop
ulation as compared with the rur
al population of the United States.
The allotment for each would
have to be matched by the state
or territory on the basis of the per
capita income Of the state or terri
tory as compared with the nation
al per capita income. Under this
formula, Alaska would get an
nually a basic allotment of $40,000
plus $9,261 from the remaining
iunds, for a total of $49,261. The
matching funds required from
territorial or local funds would

Two Senate Groups Plan Inquiries
Into Upsurge of Inter-Service Rivalry
WASHINGTON. OP—President
Eisenhower was described yester
day as “a bit unhappy” over the
recent upsurge of rivalry among
the military services.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
made that comment to reporters
at the White House after he and
Acim. Arthur W. Radford, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
held their customary weekly
meeting with the President.
At the capitol, two Senate com
mittees were making plans for in
quiries although Wilson deprecat
ed the importance or significance
of the interservice sniping.
controversies within the armed
services revolve mainly around
the roles of the Army and Air
Force in ground-to-air and medi
um range missiles, and the air
power roles of the Air Force and
the Navy.
In a move which seemed partly
aimed at heading off any congres
sional probing. Wilson held an ex
traordinary news conference Mon
day at which he and heads of all
three services sought to put a
damper on the interservice squab
ble.
Wilson repeated today he sees
no need for a congressional inves
tigation, but he added that is a
matter for Congress to decide.
In the Senate it looked like a
race to see who would do the
investigating.
Sen. Chavez <D-NM> got in first
with an announcement that the
Appropriations subcommittee that
he heads will make a study of the
disagreement over basic defense
policy.
Then Sen. Symington (D-Md)
said his Armed Services subcom
mittee will go into the matter,
which centers on guided missiles
--
and air power.
Symington, in broadening what
started out as a study of the Air
Force and its capabilities as com
pared with those of Russia, re
ferred “to air problems currently
in controversy among the three
military services as to their re
spective roles and missions in the
over-all field of air power.”
Symington said his subcommit
tee already has received behind
closed doors hundreds of pages of
testimony as to the air power
mission of the Air Force in the
missile field.
