Defense Spending
On the Increase;
Curbs Predicted
WASHINGTON, UP)—A Defense
Department official says the next
few weeks will be critical in de
termining whether the govern
ment must put further curbs on
military spending.
Asst. Secretary of Defense Wil
fred McNeil told newsmen yes
terday defense spending for U.S.
military purposes and for foreign
aid jumped by more than $200
million in August over July.
If that rate of spending should
continue thru the remaining 10
months of the fiscal year, McNeil
said, total expenditures would run
to $42 x/z billion—considerably
higher than the Administration
set ceiling of $40,200,000,000.
Both McNeil and the outgoing
Secretary of Defense, Charles
Wilsori, discussed military spend
ing informally with newsmen at a
Pentagon gathering marking the
10th anniversary of military unifi
cation.
Wilson, who will be succeeded
in about three weeks by Neil Mc
Elroy, forecast additional cut
backs unless curbs previously an
nounced show more results.
In a light mood, Wilson turned
to Treasury Secretary Anderson,
who also was present at the gath
ering, and quipped:
“Bob, if only you could go out
end print money when we needed
it, our problem would be much
easier.”
Russia Unlikely to Lift
Foreign Traffic Ban
On Vladivostok Bay
LONDON, W)—Russia has ad
vised Britain it is unlikely to lift
its two-month-old ban on the en
try of foreign planes and ships
into Vladivostok Bay, the Foreign
Office disclosed today.
A spokesman told reporters the
Soviet position was conveyed to
Ambassador Sir Patrick Reilly on
Sept. 10, when the British envoy
delivered a note of protest against
the Soviet action.
The United States and Japan
also have filed protests with the
Soviet government. The effect of
the closure of the bay is to ban
foreign ships and planes from
crossing a line 102 miles long
joining the estuary of the river
Tumen and Cape Povorotny.
The U.S., Japan and Britain
advised the Soviets the action
breaches well established princi
ples governing freedom of the
high seas.

No Difficulties
Expected in
Land Selections
WASHINGTON, UP>—1The Inter
ior Department doesn’t expect
any difficulties in administering
land selections made under the
Alaska mental health act, in the
opinion of Assistant Secretary
Roger Ernst.
“If, after a fair trial any diffi
culties should arise, we will cer
tainly take appropriate steps to
resolve them,” he said.
Congress last year authorized
Alaska to select 1,000,000 acres of
its public land as a means of fi
nancing the administration of its
mental health program.
Ernst’s view was expressed in
a letter replying to a suggestion
by Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska)
for creation of a board, composed
either of Bureau of Land Man
agement personnel or of both fed
eral and territorial representa
tives, to rule on whether selec
tions made by Alaska are reason
ably compact as required by law.
Bartlett said he believed such a
board might prevent difficulties
which could arise by leaving such
ruling up to a single BLM official.
In reply, Ernst said that states
have been making land selections
under parallel procedures for
years dven tho selections are more
restricted as to compactness than
Alaska’s will be.
The territory may file an appli
cation without any preliminary
discussion, he said. The decision
is the responsibility of the desig
nated BLM field officer. The ter
ritory may ask a review of any
i decision to which if objects.

Segregation Is
j Cause Transfer of
| Game to the East
j NEW ORLEANS, UP) — Rep. F.
! Edward Hebert <D-La) Tuesday
' said the National Assn, for the
Advancement of Colored People
was behind the transfer of the
Army-Tulane football game from
New Orleans to West Point. He
blasted the Army as “a full part
ner in the campaign against the j
South.”
The game, scheduled for Nov.
16, was transferred Monday. Sec
retary of the Army Wilber F.
Brucker told Hebert the transfer
was agreed upon by both schools.
Brucker said Louisiana’s segrega
tion law was the reason.
One Tulane spokesman said the
transfer might mean a revenue
loss as high as $50,000 for Tulane.
The Louisiana law passed in
1956, bans racially - mixed com
petition and integrated seating.
There are no Negroes on the
Army football team, tout some
cadets fat West Point are Negro.
However, the cadet corps would
not come here for the game be
cause of economic reasons and
transportation difficulties.
The Einstein formula that mat
ter can be converted into energy
completely was not experimental
ly proven until 27 years after it
was propounded in 1905.
