Three Millions
• Confined from Page One*
omnibus $747,216,102 money bill
sent to the House for debate, prob
ably later this week. The appro
priations would finance opera
tions of the state, justice and com
merce departments and the feder
al judiciary for the year starting
next July 1.
The Voice of America brond
:asts are the state department’s
•:hief weapon in penetrating the
iron curtain with facts about
America. And the FBI is in the
midst of an expanded program to
track down subversives at home.
The overall bill calls for $60,
•107,354 less than President Tru
man asked.
These are the allotments by
agencies:
Commerce department: $259,
*27,605 in cash and $58,800,000 in
contract authority <for which fu
ture appropriations may be re
quired*.
State department: $271,405,656
?ish. $2,900,000 contract authority.
Justice department: $20,703,700
cash granted, $21,234,200 cash
asked.
Except for the state department,
all agencies got mare than they
received for the present fiscal
year.
Of the total commerce depart
ment allotment, $139,073,605 cash
and $58,800,000 in contract au
thority was earmarked for the
civil aeronautics administration.
Most of this is for establishment
of air navigation facilities and air
port construction.
The committee criticized both
the CAA and the civil aeronautics
board for “making “annual fer
vent pleas” for airline companies
when “many of the executives of
the airlines are paid six figure sal
aries for directing companies
which are subsidized.”
On February 25, the committee
said, the CAB granted “an $8,000,
000 gift of the taxpayers’ money
to the “big four” airlines for
transportation of air mail, a single
pound of which they never actual
ly carried.”
Committee hearings listed the
“Big Four” as Eastern Airlines,
United Air Lines. Trans-World j
Airlines and American Airlines.

nine miles snare with DDT they
will be able to destroy 85 per cent

ahead with it if enough money is
contributed to a special fund, to be
set up at a bank. They plan a min
imum of nine, air plane spraying
trips, and a maximum of 12.

S. S. Riverside
_
VANCOUVER, B. C. <;P)—The
Canadian Seamen’s Union Mon-1
day posted pickets around the At
lantic Shipping Agencies' S. S.
Riverside in an action described
by union officials as a “sympathy
strike.”
East Coast members previously
walked out in protest of a recent
agreement signed by eastern ship
owners with the AFL-affiliated
Seafarers’ International union, a
rival organization of the CSU. The
CSU is affiliated with the trades
and labor congress.
Another east coast vessel, the
Seaboard Queen, was reported
struck at Victoria. James Thomp
son, CSU west coast vice-presi
dent, said all eastern-owned ships
stopping in British Columbia ports
would be tied up for the duration
of the strike.

Said “I’d like to learn to play
hockey.
And from what I can gather,
I’m sure there’s no other
Sport as exciting, by cracky!”
