Griffin Daily News Tuesday, May 10,1977 Page 14 Armed services told to trim spending WASHINGTON (AP) - De fense Secretary Harold Brown is telling the armed services they may have to trim spending plans by sls billion to S3O billion over a five-year period. Brown delivered the message as he laid down guidelines for spending for fiscal 1979, the first year for which the Carter administration will present its own budget and outline its own five-year defense program. The first year’s bite would cost the Army, Navy and Air Force departments about $1 bil lion to $2 billion each, with a similar curtailment annually for the succeeding four years, Pentagon sources estimate. Even with such savings, Pen tagon officials say, inflation and growth would make the fiscal 1979 defense budget bigger than projected spending of $120.4 billion for fiscal 1978. The services will try to nego tiate for more money for them selves in a long process that will culminate in a fiscal 1979 Carter defense budget reaching Congress next January. Fiscal 1979 will begin Oct. 1, 1978. But service officals also are considering what steps to take if Brown holds them to less spending than they are planning under the five-year program approved during the Ford COWBOY OOOTS Beatty Shoe Shop 458 W.

The services may be forced to stretch, or possibly drop, some weapons procurement programs, and perhaps reduce forces. There were indications the Navy might delay production of its new FlB fighter plane for one or two years. Research and development work on advanced weapons might be pruned. Boy, 16, builds artificial arm ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff Ogilvie isn’t a fan of the Six Million Dollar Man. But for less than $75, he built an ar tificial arm with the qualities of a human arm. Ogilvie, 16, said he worked in his spare time for a few months to build the arm, which is powered by nickel cadmium batteries and two motors, and is sensitive to heat. The arm’s motions are directed by punching out the de sired movement on a special keyboard. The hand which extends from the arm is movable and all the joints in the fingers move. “I actually don’t like the show,” Ogilvie said of the hit television show. “He’s characterized as a modem day superman and I don’t care for that,” he said. For Ogilvie, a junior at Lakeshore High School in Fulton County, the arm was the second he has built. Recently it was judged the best engineering effort in a statewide school science fair. “Artificial Arm II,” as he calls it, is the result of his ef forts to improve the arm he constructed last year. The arm is held together by brass and solder, but it con tains intricate parts which sometimes break loose, he said. Ogilvie said he will correct whatever flaws he finds and possibly build a hydraulic arm next year. Science and science fiction led to his interest in mechanics, he said. Two years ago, he built a 5-foot-l mechanical robot “be cause I’ve been interested in robots for a long time and I wanted one.” Some older ships might be re tired earlier than scheduled and the money now used to run them could be shifted to improving the readiness of the remaining ships in the fleet. The number of planes in various types of naval air squadrons could be reduced, officials suggest. The Army could delay mech anizing an additional infantry division.
