House Republicans Hold
Rural Development
Bill In Committee
JUNEAU UPl — House Repub
licans today beat back a Demo
ratic move to pry a bill which
would provide a supplemental ap
propriation of $200,000 for the
Rural Development program from
the State Affairs Committee.
A motion by Rep. Robert Blod
gett that the bill be taken from the
committee and placed at the top of
the calendar for immediate con
sideration failed on a 20-20 tie
vote with both the Republicans
and Democrats voting as blocs.
The bill which was introduced
by all 15 of the Democrats in the
Senate and then passed the up
per chamber by a vote of 17-0,
has been languishing in the
House committee since it arrived
in the lower chamber Feb. 22.
Under a call of the House, law
makers first voted 20-20 against
tabling Boldgett’s motion, and
then defeated the motion that it
be withdrawn from committee by
the same count.
There was no debate on the
merits of the bill.
SOVIETS BOAST OF
INTERCONTINENTAL BOMBERS
LONDON — The Soviet
Union claims it has interconti
nental bombers whose air-to
ground missiles can strike any
place on the globe.
A Soviet correspondent, who
said he flew a mission in one of
the bombers, said the plane’s cap
tain told him the planes never
came closer than a few hundred
miles to target and “this is why
it is practically impossible for the
enemy to hit us with anti-aircraft
defenses.”
The Defense Department in
Washington said the equipment
sounded similar to the US. Hound
Dog missile.
