"If that comes along, it will mean that headed toward $100,000,000,000 budget with deficits running about $25,000,000,000 a year and I don't think we can stand such deficits," he said. TAFT, long an airpqwer advocate, said he believes a "reasonable" expansion in the air force in the long run would give the country better defense at cheaper cost than an over-all expansion of the military branches. Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.) said an appropriations subcommittee, of which he is a member, is going to call in the chiefs of staff and find out whether any more fund requests are in sight before it acts on a pending military money bill.

The air force was allowed $19,854,000,000, the army $20,125,000,000 and the navy $15,552,000,000 in 856,000,000,000 appropriations measure approved by the House last week. FERGUSON predicted -the "Senate committee won't be able to make "any big reduction" in these amounts because of cost increases. He said, as an example, that tanks now cost four times what they did in World War II, only partly because they are much better tanks.

West Point- (Continued from page one) False-Alarm Puller Gets Six Months A 25-year-old Portsmouth man was sentenced to six months in the house of correction this morning after he pleaded guilty to sounding a false alarm early Sunday morning. Richard Chase of 80 Atkinson street received the sentence in municipal court, after he admitted turning in an alarm from box 511 at Rogers street and Parrott avenue, Municipal Court Judge Harry W. Peyser told newsmen following the session that six months would be the minimum sentence on false alarms from now on. "False alarms are bad business," the judge warned. "They involve movement of a great deal of men and equipment, and sometime someone might be hurt as a result of one." Chase was taken into custody on Congress street by Assistant Fire Chief Frederick R.

Crompton and Patrolman John McCann shortly after fire engines had raced to the scene. Drivers of three of the engines said they spotted Chase on Rogers street, as they were heading towards the box. The boat, with Sergeant O'Brien as pilot, encountered heavy fog as it neared Portsmouth harbor. When the "Leatherneck's" compass went out of commission, the boat struck the ledge. The occupants shouted for help and their cries were finally heard by guests at the Farragut hotel about a quarter of a mile away.

The coast guard at Hampton was notified. AN- AMPHIBIOUS 'duck" was assigned to the rescue, but it was unable to remove the occupants because of the rough sea and sharp A dory was rushed over the roa'd from Hamp'ton and the rescue was completed.

They said the schools seemed afraid to take them under the present circumstances. Coach Blaik said the academy would keep its football commitments on its "big-time schedule" made out three years in advance. Superintendent Irvir.g also said "The Point" would maintain intercollegiate football.

BUT THERE was speculation as to just how many years it will take the army team to reach its previous dominant position. Some sources said that recovery from the cribbing scandal might take five to 10 'years. Meanwhile, senators in Wash- 1 ington said Saturday that they ex- pected a quiet check to be made into the situation at the academy after the present furore had died down.
