UP) Stevadores of Hawaii have turn ed down a peace formula for the 63-day waterfront strike by a 10 to 1 margin, and a settle ment seems far away. V The CIO International Long shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union announced yesterday that the final vote against a fact-finding- board's plrfn' or a -14-cent hourly raise was 1,467 to 149. No one had an answer to the question "what next?" Henry Schmidt, ILWU labor relations committeeman, said the union would ask the Stevadoie companies for another session, Dut there was a string attached. And employers didn't care for the string. Schmidt said th,e union was willing to reduce its demand for an increase of 32 cents an hour from its current $1.40 wage. But he expected employers to be willing to bargain above 14 cents. The union appeared to be get ting ready for a long struggle. Harry Bridges, head of the ILWU, is expected by the middle of next week from San Fran cisco to take personal charge of the strike. Starr predicted that Bridges would "launch a peace offensive to end the strike on the union's terms." He added that "it won't work." Escaped Wounded Convict Captured Soon After SALEM, July 2.

Dimi trov had been under treatment in Bordikha sanitarium near Mos cow for nearly three months. Granted Leave He was granted leave from the premiership in April .to obtain the treatment. Vassil Kolarov, vice-premier and foreign minister, became acting premier at that time. The highest councils in Russia, the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and the ministers of the U. S. S. R., made the announcement of death. They said it caused them pro found grief. Dimitrov was an exile from Bulgaria for 22 years because of his early revolutionary life but he remained an obscure figure until he was accused of engineer ing the Reichstag fire conspiracy. Hitler, just risen to power when the Reichstag building in Berlin burned the night of Feb. 27, 1933, put the blame on Com munists. Wins Acquittal Dimitrov confounded his judges and eventually was acquit ted. The fire mystery never was cleared up. Hitler's gang was accused by anti-Nazi sources of setting the fire and trumping up charges against the Communists to serve their own purposes. Dimitrov went to Moscow. From then on Dimitrov was known to the world. He became general secretary of the old Com intern, the Communist interna tional network, in 1935, and stay ed on the job until the Comintern was disbanded in 1943.

Harry E. Gallowoy, field super visor for the State Department of Agriculture, said the name west ern range locust was applied to the migratory grasshoppers be cause a more precise technical name is not available. The hand, 75 miles long and 40 miles deep, has penetrated into Oregon's southern Harney Coun ty for 35 miles, and into Califor nia for 15 miles. Nevada's hopper band is the only migratory one In the coun try, experts said. Those infesting other parts of the country, not ably Colorado, Montana and Wyoming, will live and die in a relatively limited area. The Nevada horde has moved 350 miles in the last 10 years. They were first found in 1937 in southern Nevada. In 1938 they started moving into the prevail ing winds and have progressed in a northwesterly direction. When wartime put a halt to control measures, their numbers increas ed rapidly. They fly only by daylight and, Gallowav said, sound like the roar of a distant waterfall or the rumble of a fast freight train. W. B. Mabee, U. S. entomolo gist at Klko, snid the damage they do to the rangelands is "heavy and permanent." Spring-hatched hoppers feed on the range for weeks, then stall, migrating In June. In early June.

Truman Faces Huge Setback With Report Deficit Near $2 Billion; Expenditures Deelint But Revenues Fall Short WASHINGTON, July 2. UP) A big government revenue setp back stuck President Truman to day with a 1949 fiscal year budget deficit of $1,811,440,047.68 threa times greater than the $600,000v 000 he had predicted. Because of the huge size of the federal money figures the PresU dent was off only 3.5 per cent lit overestimating government in come by $1,334,000,000 for the H montns ended t nursaay. mr. iru man's estimates were made last January. The President missed the spend ing figure only 310ths of 1 per cent, but it was enough to throw him off $123,000,000. Actual ex penditures ran that much less than he'd counted, easing the ef fect of his revenue overestimate. Figures Listed .- The key figures, given roundly In a year-end treasury compila tion, were: Soendine $40,057,000.-- 000, up ' $6,266,000,000 over the preceding year and a new peace time high; revenue $38,246,000, 000, down $3,965,000,000 and at five-year low. An lo.b per cent rise in spena Ing and a 9.4 per cent drop in revenue converted the budget out come from an unprecedented sur plus of $8,419,000,000 in fiscal 1948 to a $1,811,000,000 deficit in the fiscal year just over. This also sent the government bounding back into the familiar red after a two-year interval of living within its income for the only period In the last 20 years. Prospects Dim Prospects point to an even greater excess of spending over revenue in fiscal 19o0. just under way. A deficit estimate of $3,000, 000,000 to $5,000,000,000 has come both from Senator Byrd (D-Va), a specialist, on government fi nance, and from federal fiscal ex perts. fresident iTuman s lorecast in January for fiscal 1950 was for an $875,000,000 deficit, but this is generally considered out of date and is scheduled for revision next month.
