TEXAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 13. 1962.
Washington, April 13
(AP) — The House Ap-
propriations ' Committee
has approved a record
peacetime appropriation
of more than 47 and
three • quarter billion dollars
for the Defense Department.
The amount is one Billion,
344 million dollars more than
provided for the present yea
But it’s 67 and one-half mil-*1
lion dollars less than President
Kennedy requested. The meas-
ure comes up for House de-
bate next. Tuesday.
The defense appropriation
—running to 47 billion, 839
million dollars — is for the
fiscal year starting July 1st.
It’s aimed at buying more
and bigger bombers, more
Polaris submarines, more fight-
er planes, more ships — in-
cluding a new attack-carrier
—and more military hardware
of all sorts.
It will pay for 2,683,000 ac-
tive military personnel plus
more than one million reserv-
ists and National guardsmen.
It also includes funds to:
Keep half the ^strategic
bomber force on 15 - minute
alert.
Speed development of the
R-S-70 long range reconnais-
sance bomber.
Increase the capacity to
quickly airlift fighting forces
to trouble spots.
1 And it’s aimed at expedit-
ing the chemical - biological
warfare program.
, Scattered through the re-
port are criticisms of defense
procurement and contracting
practices. But there also are
commendations for improve-
ment in other practices.
Largest allotment of money
was—as usual — for the Air
Force. It would get 19* biHion,
117 million Rollers, up 251
million over what the Presi-
dent asked.
The Navy’s share'was 15
billion, down 188 million from
that requested.
The Army’s allotment was
eleven and one-half billion, a
cut of more than 107 million.
The remaining two bjllion
will go among various other
interservice programs.

Unpredictable „
Washington, Apr. 13 U^r
John F. Kennedy, Jr., is the
unpredictable type.
Wednesday night he was
all smiles on being introduc-
ed to the visiting Shah and
Empress of Iren.
Yesterday, he wasn’t hav-
ing any—and draw back with
a firm “no” when the em-
press offered him one of the
daffodils she was carrying
on a tour of thd White House
grounds.
Caroline, by contrast, was
ail poise and savoir-fare.
In two encounters with the
royal visitors, she executed
a flawless curtsy, each time.
Washington, April 13
(AP)—The Kennedy ad-
ministration got a major
break today in its opposi-
tion to the steel price in-
crease with the announce-
ment one major steel firm will
not boost prices. Inland Steel
announces it will not go along
with the price hike parade.
At the same time the admin-
istration took action to shift
government steel buying to
companies which hold the
price line. Defense Secretary
McNamara has ' directed that
defense contractors and their
supplies shift their steel buy-
ing to firms which have not
raised prices.
As for the word that Inihnd
Steel would not go along with
price boosts, President Ken-
nedy’s reacted to this by say-
ing: “Good, very good.”
McNamara announced the
ban on purchases of steel from
price boosting firms at a hasty
news conference in Washing-
ton.
He said if the steel price
boosts spread across the coun-
try’s economy, national de-
fense costs could rise one bil-
lion dollars or more a year.
McNamara said the impact
of increased costs could affect
the dollar balance abroad and
he said the U. S. cannot ex-
pect to maintain its forces
overseas if the trade balance
does not improve.
In response to a question,
McNamara said he was unable
td say what percentage of
ste«T buying is for defense pur-
poses.
However, he said, the
amount of steel bought direct-
ly by the military is relative-

Fire Damages
County Barn
On Craig Street
A county equipment barn
on Craig Street was heavily
damaged by fire Friday morn-
ing.
Firemen were able to re- _
srrssrrsfrsiJ - n
the flames to the rear of j
the old structure. Their job!cure“
was made hazardous by the
presence in the burning build-
ing of drums of oil, paint thin-
ner and Other potentially ex-
plosive material.
The fire apparently started
from an oil stove in the build-
ing, which was used for storage
of equipment and supplies for
Commissioner Precinct 1 cov-
ering the southwest quarter of
the county.
The alarm was received at
7:05 a. m.
by companies which
have contracts for weapons
and otfter defense goods.
To another question, McNa-
mara said that he considered
the steel price increase “an
unjustified development and I
state that on the basis of both
my experience here in Wash-
ington and in industry.”
McNamara was president of
the Ford Motor Company when
he was appointed defense sec-
retary.”
