Congress KO’s
Mine Subsidy
j
WASHINGTON, UP)—Congress
late yesterday turned down a bid
for a $240,000,000 federal subsidy
for the country’s metal mines.
The House voted 166 to 144
against a bill to put of $80,000,000
annually for three years. The
Senate passed it last fall.
Under the measure, the money
would have been given for the
conservation, exploration and de
velopment of the nation’s mineral
resources.
Supporters blamed the bill’s de
feat on several factors, including
opposition by economy-minded
Congressmen and lack of expect
ed support by some southern
members.

Acheson Dares
Russia To Demon
strate Peace Desire
BERKELEY, Calif. (/P)—.Secre
tary of State Acheson challenged
Russia yesterday to demonstrate
her desire for peace by accepting
a new seven-point program to free
the world from “destructive ten
sions and anxieties.”
Boiled down, the seven steps
Acheson proposed call for an end
to Russia’s aggressive diplomacy,
both in her dealings with satel
lites and with the western world,
and for new moves to conclude
peace treaties and to find some
solution to the problem of atomic
controls.
Bluntly, he predicted Russian
refusal of any attempt to settle
these points of “greatest differ
ence" between the east and the
west.
But he insisted that they “must
be identified and sooner or later
reconciled if the two systems are
to live together, if not with mutual
respect, at least in mutual secur
ity.”
Otherwise, he said, the United
States can only continue to resist
aggression where it finds it, and
to “press ahead with the building
of a free world.”
“We are always ready to dis
cuss, to negotiate, to agree,” Ache
son declared, “but we are loath to
play the role of international
sucker.”
Acheson’s address — a major
statement of American policy
said to have taken three months
to draft—was prepared for deliv
ery at the University of Califor
nia, in connection with the con
ference on international coopera
tion for world economic develop
ment.

COL. ALEXANDER EXPLAINS
INTELLIGENCE MISSION OF j
NATIONAL GUARD TO ROTARY
.Colonel J. D. Alexander, Adt.
General of the National Guard,
spoke on the Intelligence mission
of the First Scout Battalion of the
National Guard at the noon lunch
eon of the Rotary Club Thursday.
Nome is the headquarters of the
1st Battalion, whose members are
stationed in squads and platoons
from Unalakleet to Barrow’. A
non-political organization. the
purpose of the Guard is to be
trained and able to give informa- j
tion of military importance in this
strategic area. The men are also
receiving citizenship training, par
ticularly a grounding in American
history. When this unit is up to
full strength it will expend ap
proximately $70,000 a year in sal- j
aries, according to Major M. H.;
Jolsma, who is in charge of Na
tional Guard expenditures for
Alaska. Major Jolsma was also a
guest of the club, and with Col.
Alexander, admired the million
dollar view Nome has on the Ber
ing Sea.
The Second Battalion is head-1
quartered at Bethel, Col. Alexan-1
der said, and carries on the same
program south from Unalakleet
to Dillingham.
The Rotarians announced a
showing of a Navy film on petro-1
leum in Alaska to be given at the
Federated Church a week from to
night.
New Atomic
Element Found
BERKELEY, Calif. (/P) — The
atom smashers have produced an-,
other new element, a strange, in
visible substance which seems to
fit dramatically into the jigsaw
puzzle of creation.
The newcomer is number 98 in
the list of known elements which
make up the universe. It does not
now exist naturally on earth, but
was formed.
The discovery was reported to
day by a team of University of
California scientists working un
der contract with the atomic en
ergy commission. They are Dr.
Stanley G. Thompson, Dr. Ken
neth Street, Jr., Dr. Albert Ghior
so and Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg.
Number 98 is the sixth addition
to the roster of elemental sub
stances since the dawn of the
atomic age. Before that, there
were only 92 known elements and
number 92 was uranium. All the
new ones have come from build
ing \ip uranium by bombarding it
with nuclear particles.
The amount of the new element
so produced was too small to be
seen. However, they hacf been
! able to predict some of its proper
I ties.

Committee Cuts
Billion From
Truman Budget
WASRINGTON, (A*), The House
appropriations committee has ten
tatively worked out a $1,200,000,
000 cut in President Truman's
spending proposals for the 12
months beginning next July 1.
The committee ha snot formal
ly taken final action, but it was
learned a “central committee” has
recommended the cut.
The committee is working on an
omnibus bill embracing items for
which Mr. Truman asked $30,
326,000,000. Members of the com
mittee said these have been trim
med to roughly $29,113,000,000.
The President s overall budget
requests for the fiscal year start
ing next July 1 were $42,439,000,
000. This included approximately
$3,000,000,000 for Marshall plan
foreign aid and $9,000,000,000 in
so-called permanent appropria
tions and trust funds.
These two items are not dealt
with in the omnibus bill.
The foreign-aid money is not
included because separate legisla
tion legalizing it has not cleared
Congress. The so-called perman
ent appropriations are not subject
to cuts. They include such things
as interest on the public debt.
The “central committee” recom
mendations wil be presented to
the full committee next Monday.
The following week the omnibus
bill is scheduled to go before the
House for debate. It will be the
first time in modern history that
Congress has wrapped up all de
partmental funds in a single bill.
GOP Preparing to
Slash Three Billion
From Budget
WASHINGTON, (/P) — House
Republicans aimed a new $3,000,
000,000 cut today at a lump sum
$30,000,000,000 appropriation bill
already tentatively trimmed by
$1,200,000,000.
The bill carries most of Presi
dent Truman’s budget recommen
dations for federal agencies for
the 1951 fiscal year, starting next
July 1. It is due to be considered
by the House appropriations com
mittee starting next Monday and
is slated for floor debate March
27.
The committee action would
make the federal deficit for the
fiscal year 1951 about $4,000,000,
000—assuming that Cong r e s s
sticks to its apparent determina
tion not to raise taxes this year.
Another cut of $3,000,000,000 in
the anticipated deficit to $1,000,
the omnibus measure would lower
000,000, and that is what GOP fis
cal leaders are driving for.
“If we are going to get close to
a balanced budget, this bill ought
to be around $26,000,000,000,”
Rep. Taber <R.-N. Y.) told news
men. Taber, top Republican on
the appropriations group, would
not comment on the reported cut
of $1,200,000,000 already tenta
tively made.
