McElroy Wants
Defense Budget
Fund Increase
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, LR — Secretary
of Defense Neil H. McElroy was
invited by Senator Dennis Chavez
(D-NM) yesterday to put up a
fight for a substantial increase
in defense funds in the new bud
get.
Chavez, who heads the Sen
ate’s defense appropriations sub
commiltee, said he understands
McElroy wants more money for
the military than President Eisen
hower’s fiscal advisors are willing
to see spent.
“I’m on McElroy’s side,” Cha
vez said. “If he will fight for the
funds he needs, he will find the
majority of Congress behind him.”
In the past, Chavez’s subcom
mittee generally has voted to in
crease defense spending above the
total previously allowed by the
House, which acts first on all
money bills. In cost cases the
i subcommittee’s decisions have
'been upheld by the full appro
priations committee, which will
be controlled by a 2-1 margin by
the Democrats in the new Con
gress.
McElroy has hinted that next
j year’s military budget request
! may be a billion dollars higher
■ than the current 40,800,000,000
I level of defense outlays.

Banker Arrested
On Charges Of
False Entries
LOS ANGELES, IB — Federal
authorities have arrested a sub
urban banker on a charge of mak
ing a false entry of more than
$80$,000 in the bank’s record.
“The shortage at the bank may
be in excess of one million dol
lars,” the FBI said Monday as it
arrested John E. Petersen, 49. He
resigned several days ago, as vice
president and cashier of the Sun
Valley National Bank. The bank
was sold Saturday.
Just what happened to the mo
rw- was not explained. It was
originally reported that Peterson
had been accused of misappro
priating the funds. But the FBI
said the charge against him was
that he “made or caused to be
made a false entry in the bank’s
records.”
The falsification consisted of
failing to charge to the individual
customers’ accounts at least $800,
000 paid out by the bank for
checks drawn on the accounts,
said William Alexander, of the
Los Angeles FBI office.
All Petersen said was “I don’t
have any of this money.”
