House Passes Navy
Appropriations
WASHINGTON I/P). The House
passed and sent to the Senate yes
terday a compromise bill giving
the navy $3,433,040 100 in cash ap
propriations for the current fiscal
year.
In addition, the bill carries
$248,000,000 in contract authority
for the purchase of aircraft.
It provides for a projected pro
gram supporting an average navy
strength of 395,000 enlisted and
42,000 officer personnel.
The total in the bill, as worked
out by a Senate-House conference
committee, is $133,285,000 more
than the amount originally voted
by the House and approximately
$44,000,000 below original Senate
recommendations. It falls approxi
mately $234,000,000 short of the
President’s budget recnests for I
ca-h appropriations.
Later, the House also accepted
and sent to the Senate a joint con
ference committee’s compromise
of the $55,000,000 legislative ap
preciations measure—the one
\vh;eh pays Congress’ bill.
The action came after Rep. Can
non of Missouri, ranking Demo
crat on the appropriations com
mittee, took the floor to denounce
Republican claims of a $6,000,000
reduction from last year’s expenses
as a “meaningless subterfuge.” He
said it was achieved by cutting in
half the government printing of
f:ee’s <5?f‘,000,000 revolving fund.

SPORTS
ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)
NEW YORK. (/P)—Ned Irish al
ready is moaning about the ticket
situation for next winter’s college
basketball games at Madison
Square Garden. . . . Seems the lo
cal colleges have just about taken
over the supply and folks who
have had season reservations for
years are being .-hut ou‘. . . . ‘‘Ev
ery year they turn out about 1500
alumni who want to see basket
ball games ” says Ned. “and the
alumni of local schools stay right
here. It looks as if the public
would have to turn to our pro
league if they want to see any
thing.’ . . . Manager Marshall
Miles reports that Joe Louis was
deeply d sapnointed when Joe
Baksi was beaten by Olle Ta^d
berg. “Joe wants to fight,” Miles
explains “and he figured if Baksi
won decisively he would be a
good drawing card. After all, it
costs Joe just as much to train for
a $100.OhO ;igW foi one that
draws a two million dollar gate.”
A Georgia athlete was visiting

he noticed a card in a store win
