Indian Service
Appropriation Cut
U/P) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON <£*»—'The House
appropriations committee recom
mended today an appropriation of
S3.250,000 for the Indian Service
in Alaska, a cut of $819,000 in the
budget estimate and $469,000 less
than last year.
The committee explained in its
report to the House that the Indian
bureau proposes to discontinue op
eration of the elementary school at
Fort Raymond, near Seward, and
that $125,000 budgeted for that
purpose was eliminated.
All proposed increases contained
in the estimates for the 12 months
beginning July 1 were denied.
The entire budget request of
$250,000 was allowed to the geo
logical survey for investigation
of mineral resources in Alaska.
The fish and wildlife service re
ceived approval of $850,000 for
Alaska fisheries, $69,300 for Alaska
fur seal investigations and $175,
000 enforcement of the Alaska
game laws.

Jump From Bridge
Ends Disastrously

SAN FRANCISCO, (/P)—A fish
ing boat Saturday picked up a 42
vear-old professional high diver
who leaped 265 feet from the Gol
den Gate bridge into San Francis- '
co Bay Saturday morning in what
his wife described as a practice
jump for a publicity stunt.
The Diver, Frank H. Cushing,
42, was taken to the coast guard
station at Neirbyhft Point, where j
he was found to be suffering a
so: anted back and exposure and
was to be transferred to a hos
pital.
It was believed the second time 1
since the bridge was opened in
1937 that anyone has jumped from
the suspension span and lived. A :
woman who jumped from the
bridge several years ago suffered
>evere leg injuries but recovered. I
Highway patrolman Dave Zebo
said Cushing’s wife told him that
Cushing a World War II veteran,
had been unable to get a GI loan
for his “thrill circus” and hoped to •
gain enough publicity from the
jump from the Bay bridge to se
cure financing.
