Senate Committee
Gives Up Tungsten
Stockpiling Program
WASHINGTON (fl—The _ Senate
Appropriations Committee today
held the economy life of a $456,
252,600 money bill for the Interior
Department* Forest Service and
some minor government agencies.
The committee, approving the
measure, but some items pro
posed by the House when it
passed the bill, added $6,700,000
for a mineral purchases program,
and came up with a bill only $3,
856,900 above the House-passed
measure.
By its action yesterday, the
Senate committee gave up on the
controversial tungsten stockpiling
program. The House has firmly
refused to grant any more money
for this purpose.
Twice, in supplemental appro
priations bills this spring, the
Senate sought to grant $30 million
for the minerals purchase pro
gram, most of it to be used for
buying tungsten, but twice the
House rejected the proposal.
The present bill contained a
budget proposal for an additional
$40 million to stockpile tungsten,
fluorspar, asbestos, and colum
bium-tantalum.
Unattractive Wife for
Long & Healthy Life,
Advises Ex-Premier
TAIPEI, OP1—Choose yourself
an unattractive wife if you want
to live a long and healthy life,
says ex-Premier Chang Chun.
Himself a married man, Chang
made the suggestion yesterday in
a talk to the Rotary Club.
An unattractive wife, said the
63-year-old close associate of
President Chiang Kai-shek, is the
best guarantee against overindul
gence in sex which, Chang con
tended, hastens the aging process.
Mrs. Chang was not available
for comment.

5 TACAN Stations in

U.S. - Alaska Flights

been reached between Canada
and the United States on actually
setting up a tactical air naviga

ing on a statement in Juneau
Tuesday by Maj. Gen. Emerson C.
Itschner, U.S. Army chief of en
gineers, that bids will be called
in September for construction in
Canada of five TACAN stations.
The RAF spokesman said the
network would be used by Cana
dian and U.S. military planes to
facilitate flights between the U.S.
and Alaska.
The spokesman said the net
work’s main function would be to
help aircraft between the U\S.

benefit.
