In the Senate, for example, more than 60 Sen a tors Democrats and Republi cans have signed a petition urging action on a resolution di recting the president to cut ap propriations for the current fis cal year by from five to 10 per cent. Warns Against Error Now Mr. Truman explained that he is dropping his request for a $4.- 000,000,000 tax increase because he does not want to inlure the economic health of the country. indicating tne alternative is red ink spending, he added: "You cannot achieve a surplus In the government budget when you have a declining national economy. ... If we follow the wrong budget policy at this time and slash our expenditures, we will decrease employment, cut down Investment, weaken our defenses, and injure our efforts for peace." Senator McClellan (D.-Ark.), chief sponsor of the economy resolution, commented that there are certain contemplated expendi tures for public works "that would of course stimulate our economy." but he added: "There are other savings that can and should be made, and it is the duty of the President and the Congress Jointly to bring about such economics. Republicans Fire Back Republicans let loose with hot ter criticism. Said House minor ity leader Martin of Massachu setts: Every day the Democratic 81st Congress is in session makes the Republican 80th Congress Iook better. The President may be fooling himself, but he Isn't fool- ? many other people. 'If cutting taxes last year was such an awful blunder, l don t know why the president lsn t standing by his original request for a $4,000,000,000 tax increase." Senator Millikln (K.-coioj, who steered the GOP-sponsored tax reduction through the Senate last year, remarked: "The President does not now understand the value of the tax cut any more than he did at the time it was enacted over his veto. The tax reduction put $5,000,000, 000 into the hands of most people for their own spending the most dynamic spending of all. "If there had not been a cut, goodness only knows how deep the present depression would have plunged." But one Republican who voted for the tax reduction said he now regards it as "a mistake one of the very few the 80th congress made." Senator Flanders of Ver mont, noting Mr. Truman's criti cism of the cut, remarked: "He's got us there all right. I voted for It, knew I was doing wrong at the time, and have re gretted It ever since." Officers Installed By Knights Of Columbus H. J.

Cast elections in France, also a pre dominantly Catholic country, where the warning of the Pope to the faithful to avoid expos ing themselves to Communists doctrines ana writings, also could have a heavy effect. The concern the Communists apparently feel in France is re fleeted in the official French Communist newspaper L'Human ite. In an angry attack on the Vatican, the newspaper termed the decree "pure totalitarianism." The decree, announced by the sacred congregation of the Holy office which is In charge of protecting the faith and ap proved by the Pontiff is inter preted by informed Vatican sources to be a last warning to Catholics who may be leaning toward Communism. The decree marks the fourth time the Pope has used excom munication to fight back at the Communists in recent years. Previous aecrees had been di rected at those who tried and sentenced Archbishop Aloizilc Steplnac In Yugoslavia In 1946, at those responsible for the im prisonment of Hungary's Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, and at the founders and willing members of a separatist, government-controlled Catholic action society in Czechoslovakia. Stampede To "Weeping Virgin" Kills Woman; 19 Persons Hurt WARSAW. Poland. Julv 14. CP) The official Polish Press Agency blames the Roman Cath olic hierarchy for circumstances leading to the death of a woman and injuries to 19 other persons in a stampeae to witness a "weep ing virgin" portrait in Lublin. ine agency,' organ of the Com- munist-'led: government, said yes terday Catholic leaders had "de liberately" encouraged a mass pilgrimage to the eastern Polish City. 1 A throng o: lOO.OOO Poles from all over the country, believing mat prayer betore the portrait would bring miraculous cures, swarmed around the Lublin Ca thedral, the agency reported. In the stampede a wooden stockade collapsed, killing the woman and injuring the others, the agency said. Government officials said per sons spreading rumors about the reported miracle would be prose cuted. '. The agency cttarged that the Catholic hierarchy had allowed nuns and pri sts to lead the pil grimage. It said the Church leaders later admitted there was "no ground for thinking that a miracle had occurred." The agen cy also said there was reason to believe the pilgrimage was "organized for purposes other than religion." It started when six blind Poles were said to have regained their sight alter kneeling before the portrait. Priests had reported tears of blood coming from the eyes in the picture. There was no comment from Catholic churchmen on the press agency's charges. Condemnation of the Catholics came shortly after the Vatican broadcast of the papal decree ex communicating Catholics who embrace Communism. Poland is 97 percent Catholic.

Ching, director of the federal mediation and con ciliation service, stressed neither the companies nor union would be expected to accept any solu tion suggested by Mr. Truman's board. Ching said it was hoped the recommendations could form a basis for settlement. Murray said his union was willing to forego a strike for 60 days as the President suggested, giving the board time to hear the dispute and make its re port.
