NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1949 ELEVEN Budget Brake On Air Force Plans Creates Big Stir WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-UP) President Truman's budget brake on air Xorce expansion plans stir reJ VK a congressional hornet's nest Wednesday. Both Democrats and Republicans joined in. Mr. Truman recommended a minimum 48-combat group air force in his budget message yes terday. Rep. Vinson (D.-Ga.), pro gressive chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, im mediately disagreed. "I am thoroughly convinced an overwhelming majority of Con gress will vole the funds to put into being a 70-group air force over a period of three or four years," Vinson said. "It is the minimum we must have for security." Senator Tydings (D.-Md.) chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he didn't think the president's recommen dations "ruled out" an ultimate 70 group force, but intended to study the matter very closely. Mr. Truman took the stand that j the number and size of planes is a "better way to measure aid force strength than by the ni liber of groups. Secretary of the Air Force Symington, in a report issued over the weekend, reiterated air force hopes for 70 groups. The last congress authorized 66 groups and the air force now has reached 60 group combat strength. (Syming ton's report was written weeks ago; he has said since he will go along with the president's recom mendations.) The air force also set a goal of 10,297 first and second line planes by June 30. The president said this would be cut back to 9,197. known as the "Black Dahlia" be cause of her fondness for sheer black clothing. She was , the daughter of Mrs. Phoebe Short of Medford, Mass. The girl's nude body, bisected at the waist and otherwise grue somely mutilated, was found in a vacant lot Jan. 15, 1947. Police have questioned hundreds of sus pects and 50 or more have "con fessed" the killing in various parts of the nation, all their stories being disproved later. Horrall said Dillon contracted Dr. J. Paul De River, police psy chiatrist, six weeks ago, saying he was interested in sadism. Sub sequently he arranged to meet Dr. De River, who said that for the past week he had been dis cussing the "Dahlia" killing with Dillon. Detectives kept surveillance on Dillon and made the arrest.

Health Insurance Plan Proposed By Governor Warren SACRAMENTO, CALIF., Jan. 13 (. Governor Warren, seeking an alternative to pro hibitive costs for medical care, yesterday announced a health in surance plan covering catastro phic illness sickness serious enough to require expensive hos pitalization. "People are still dying," the governor told a press conference, "rather than obligate their families for the cost of expensive medical care." He contended that his health Insurance plan is no more com pulsory than the public school system and no More socialistic than the workmen's compensa tion and unemployment insur ance systems to which both major political parties have pledged themselves. The governor expressed the hope that the Legisltture, now in session, will "make a reasonable start on some health plan." He defended the principle of payroll health insurance, which opponents have called "socialism, regimentation and compulsion." If Congress should pass, at President Truman's request, a federal health insurance plan, the governor suggested that the state plan could readily be co ordinated with it. Tax Program Proposed To Meet Deficit in Alaska JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 13 UP) Governor Gruening proposed to n special session of the Alaska Legislature Tuesday a three pronged basic tax program in the face of an Alaska deficit which he said exceeds $2,000,000. He said in a message that rec ommendations of taxation ex perts are: a graduated net income tax for corporations and individ uals, a property tax, and an equi table trade-license tax.
