Secty. Fowler Says
U.S. Can Begin to Level
Off Defense Spending
PHILADELPHIA (tf — Under
secretary of the Treasury Henry
Fowler said Thursday the nation
has reached a point in prepared
ness where it can begin to level
off defense spending.
Fowler said this prospect, bar
ring an emergency, will help Pres
ident Kennedy hold down federal
spending. And this “practical doc
trine of expenditure control,” he
added, goes hand in hand with the
administration’s tax program.
In a speech prepared for the
annual luncheon of the Girard
Trust Com Exchange Bank, Fow
ler said substantial increases in
defense spending over the last
three years are raising the coun
try to “a new and safer level of
readiness.”
Defense is the biggest item in
the budget. For military forces
alone, Kennedy has proposed out
lays of $51 billion for the fiscal
year starting July 1.
“Barring an unexpected worsen
ing in the cold war, the future
maintenance of this level (of
readiness) should not require the
same sort of annual increases that
have marked recent budgets,”
Fowler said.

Two Juneau Men
Plan 50-Mile Sprint
JUNEAU liW — Two local radio
station employes, billing them
selves as the Kilocyclic Killers of
the Kilometer, will join in the as
sault on the 50-mile barrier Sat
urday.
Vern Metcalf and Warren Wiley
of KJNO plan to pace off 50
miles in a fund raising gimmick
aimed at taking in enough cash to
send Kathy Schimanski, the reign
ing Miss Juneau, to the Anchorage
Fur Rendezvous.
Metcalf and Wiley are asking
local merchants and citizens to
ante up $10 a mile, with the first
$250 to be set aside for Miss Schi
manski’s trip and the remainder to
be donated to the Heart Fund.
The torture trail for the two will
lead from downtown Juneau to
Auke Bay and return until the 50
miles have been stepped off.
In a wire to President Kennedy,
who started the 50-mile hike craze
a couple of days ago while talking
about physical fitness, Wiley and
Metcalf asked:
“What’s the matter with Pierre?”
They had reference to the Pres
ident’s press secretary, Pierre Sal
inger, who declined to tackle 50
miles earlier this week, claiming
the feat was not one for plump
men.
200 Anchorage Residents
Plan 50-Mile Marathon
ANCHORAGE Ufi — From the
shores of the Atlantic to Alaska’s
Cook Inlet, Americans are on the
march.
Latest to join the 50-mile hike
craze are some 200 Anchorage resi
dents who pledged yesterday to
walk from Palmer next Monday.
The hikers are scheduled to be
taken to Palmer by the Alaska
Railroad. The Anchorage Fire De
partment has agreed to send an
ambulance and crew to accom
pany the walkers and a nurse will
be in attendance—riding in a patrol
car
For those who give up, there
.will be a large heated semi-trail
er van complete with cots. It was
28 degrees in Anchorage yester
day.
The trek is being sponsored by
Anchorage radio station KENI in
response to President Kennedy’s
recent remark that physically fit
members of the Marine Corps
should be able to walk 50 miles in
less than 20 hours.
The Anchorage hikers hope to
complete their journey in less than
18.
