Valley Road "Better Buya at Barcue" Red Faces Over Red Ink Emphasize Need For Intelligible Budget By BRUCE BIOSSAT If you've ever spent a lot more money than you expected to and at the same time made considerably less than you thought you would, you can Imagine the government's embarrassment these days. It has lust found that in the vear ended June 60 it spent S11,000,000 more than it took in from all revenue sources. This budget deficit is three times what President Truman guessed it would be. The unhappy bookkeeping situa tion seems to have resulted from both declining revenues and ris ing expenditures. During the fis cal vear lust closed, the govern ment's intake dropped $3,900,- 000,000 below the previous year, while outgo jumped $6,000,000,000. When it comes to affixing blame for the deficit, you'd have a hard time nailing It tignt witn out a battery of accountants to help, and several months , for analysis. Administration leaders point scornfully at the Republican sponsored tax cut law of 1948 and mutter something that sounds Something New Has Been Added at Adair's Associated Service & Parking We are now renting Flegel's Drive UR-SELF Trucks Open upen day or night L. 22v i TRY OUR New Service 7:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m, Weekdays 8:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Sunday e... ...u!i. .....

Other Democrats and nearly all Republicans blame the red ink budget entries on excessive gov ernment spending coupled with the continuing drop in business activity. What ever the reason, the hard fact of the deficit is there. It is a new element in the congressional debates on federal economy. It is especially shocking to the many people who feel there is no excuse for a deficit in peacetime, with business still at relatively high levels. They must realize, however, that these are not ordinary days of peace. Actually the nation is living in a shadow zone between war and peace. It Is fighting a "cold war ' with Russia a bitter combat reaching into every arena but the battlefield. The money we spent in this strength - sapping struggle amounts to around half our $41, 000,000,000 budget for the 1948 49 year. Much of it goes to for eign countries whose muscles we are trying to toughen against the builying aggressions of commun ism. It would of course be a wel come relief not to have to make these outlays. But any steep cuts In military or foreign aid funds would constitute a sharp reversal of national policy, most likely with shattering effect on the soli darity of western nations. If we are to make any real sav ings in the immediate future, it is apparent they must come in the government s domestic opera tions. Higher taxes appear the only alternative. . Congress nas tne linai responsi bility for achieving economy be cause it votes the money. Cur rently it is shirking its duty and talking of a resolution mat would Dass the buck to Mr. Truman by directing him to shave 5 to 10 per cent off 1949-50 expenditures. Many congressmen ruetully concede they have the spending habit and find it hard to break. Others argue they are improperly cutting. The Hoover commission agrees on this score. It urges that budget making be completely revamped so that Congress can deal with a clear, sensible document instead of today's monstrosity on the telephone book scale.

OUT OUR WAY By J. R. Williams Growing Surplus Fails To Reduce Price Of Tin, Due To U. S. Policy By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, July 12. UP) Credit part of the money you spend for canned goods to the dollar crisis abroad and Uncle Sam's good will policy.

Once this is done, con gress can have no further excuse for dodging its duty to control federal spending. The newly announced deficit is a reminder that the price of weak ness and failure will.be high. ttURRVi rACT BEFORE AUG. 31 AND GET THIS LOVELY V . 0"000'' f MY COLEMAN HEATER BY DAY ANDVXJ I THIS BLANKET BY NIGHT GIVE fjSr C ' -Sr ME p COMFORTI f4fj ' V sJlx Get Your Guaranteed , V'sl?"

It's part of our aid to dollar-short Britain, which controls a third of the world tin output, and our good-neighbor policy towards Bolivia, another chief tin source. From the American-British fis cal parley in London comes word that we have promised to speed up buying of strategic minerals for our government stockpile that means dollars for Britain and secjrity for us in time of war. - With the new food packing season at hand, the price of tin is up for much debate among American businessmen, particu larly since most other metal prices have skidded this year, and the world now mines more tin than it uses. The U. S. government buys all the tin we use from the British, the Bolivians and the Dutch. Britain sets the price by what it pays the Malayan mines, and our agreement with Bolivia is tied in with this price. The tin that the Reconstruc tion Finance Corp. buys is sold through the Commerce Depart ment to American manufactur ers of cans, solder and bearings. So far, the world surplus is no burden because we, and others, are putting it into strategic stock piles. Synthetlo Rubber It Boon The British want to keen the price of their Malayan tin high tor the obvious reason that thereby they get more dollars to help them balance their dol lar area trade books. They would do the same with rubber, prob ably, except that our large pro duction of synthetic rubber forces down the price of natural rub ber in Malaya. just beiore tne war, tin brouent 50 cents a pound. In 1932 it was only 21 cents. In those days, American consumers did their own buying, rather than through their government, but they dealt In large part with foreign car tels that kept a firm hand on production and prices oi tin and rubber. Congress has lust passed, and the President signed, a renewal of U. S. government control over tin imports and the allocation of tin among domestic users for another 12 months. The govern ment also controls the operation of the big tin smelter at Texas City, Texas. The British and Bolivians in sist the price of tin Is not too high. They say mining costs have gone up both labor and machinery is higher than pre war. A price cut, they argue, would mean a drop in produc tion. Canneryt Trim Prices The American tinplate Indus try is no longer plagued by short ages there is no longer any moaning by food packers about tin being allocated for beer cans.

To move this sur plus, canners nave tnmmea prices. They now say they plan to pay farmers less this year, and to be more choosey in what they buy, since they plan to can less. The weather, however, could still play hob with their plans. In fact, the drought in the east already has restricted eastern cannery activity and sent Cal- ifornians scurrying to revise up ward their quotas for vegetable pacts this summer. In the meantime, the house wife can benefit from the lower prices on canned goods. She can also tell herself that part of her food bill Is a contribution to our foreign relief program through the maintenance of $1.03 tin. NEW YORK. July 12.-W) Prices will be lower and skirts higher next fall. That was the main imnresslon gathered by more than 100 fash ion editors assembled for the opening of the New York Dress Institute's 13th semi-annual press week, at which leadine desieners preview the next season's styles. Strictly comopolltan was the opening show of the week, a "round-the-world" collection de signed by Tina Leser, whose prankish and often revealing sportswear makes fashion head lines each season. Recently re turned from a global honeymoon trip, the far-sighted Tina picked up a few style ideas in each coun try she visited. Her wraparound "kimono coat" In vivid red fleece, was of course, inspired by Japan. Her copper embroidered evening skirts by India, her braid-trimmed tunic suits by France. And of course she added a liberal sprinkling of Japanese paiamas and exotic cocktail dresses which Tina tagged "Near East." Christian Dior, the Frenchman accused as-"Father of the New Look," intrigued the visiting edi tors with a handsome, swish and strictly French-looking group of styles, most predominant sil houette of which was the Moused back suit. Most of his skirts are slim, sometimes slit and some times equipped with floating panels 10 aaa motion and iuilness to the sheath beneath. Though he makes his creations with such American titles as 'Washington Square" and "Chew Chase, the collection has a high ly Parisian flavor. He shows vel vet blouses with tweed suits, likes bulky, belted Jackets on casual rough wool suits, buttons back Officials To Tour Umpqua Forest Two U. S.
