Hon ninger, coujity chairman an nounced. This - amount Included $1,516 contributed directly in th county toward the cause in anwpr to an appeal from the National foundation, and an additional $1,000 from the local chapter's fund. ! The Indllvdual contributions were sent mainly to the post masters throughout the county, and all the money went to the National, so that the amount of contributions had not been pre viously known. The funds were sent to aug ment the national treasury, which has become almost depleted be cause of large oolio epidemics over the country during the last year. Balance Budget Now, Treasury Chief Urges iContlnued from Page One) publican-controlled 8th Congress over President Truman's veto for the $1,800,000,000 deficit if fiscal 1949, ended last June 30, and the prospect of a three-times greater on this fiscal year. Policies Out of Gear The National Association of Manufacturers told the commit tee yesterday that government fiscal-monetary-credlt policies in general are not now geared to the objective of contributing to economic stability. The NAM particularly criti cized spending and renewed its appeal for a sharply reduced budget totaling about $33,600,000, 000 for the fiscal year .which be gins next July 1. The association said It has in mind a cut of $7, 000,000,000 below appropriations of $40,516,771,000 it said were voted for this year. President Truman has said more than once that raising taxes is the only way he knows to erase the deficit. And he has said that most of the deficit results from the $5,000,000,000 income tax cut which the 80th Congress passed over his veto last year. Snyder, too, already has to'd the Joint subcommittee that there no longer is a budget surplus largely because of the 1948 tax cut. He expressed that view in a preliminary statement to the group in Advance of the public hearings. Eccles Scores Treasury Meanwhile today Marrlner S. Eccles of the Federal Heserve board rapped the treasury and through it the Truman adminis tration for having a "general easy money bias under almost any and all circumstances. He said treasury policies are forcing inflation at a time when "it may be In the interest of eco nomic stability to take the oppo site action." , v i Eccles, demoted from .chair man of . the Reserve board by President Truman 10 months ago, made his criticisms of treasury-administration nolicics in a letter to Senator Douglas (D-Ill). Douglas heads a Senate-House committee studying government money, credit and financial poli cies. Eccles called for Congress to "fix clearly the responsibility for national monetary and credit policy" and, in effect, to stop the treasury Irom dragging the Federal Reserve system along on decisions.

Psychiatrist Hits Kiel Defense Of Insanity (Continued From Page One) had based his findings after test ing Kiel was described by Dr. Haugen as being right only 70 per cent or tne time "at best, and at other times only 50 per cent correct, "no better than chance." He said in his opinion, the Rorschach test was "no more valuable than a horoscope." Dr. Haugen also disputed the theory that Kiel may have been suffering from temporary insan ity, a condition wnicn so clouds the consciousness that a person knows nothing. He said this condition has vari ous causes but that effect upon a person Is always similar in one respect. He said a person in this condition is never able to remember what happened.

Companies Won't Yield And Lewis said the three-day week; which begins next Monday, will continue until individual com panies sign agreements to replace th contract which expired !a;t June 30. That means he hopes to chip away at the solid front thus far presented by industry. There's no sign of any company giving in to Lewis' unspecified demands for his men who average $15.50 daily. He's said only that his "modest demands" would cost industry 30 to 35 cents more a day. Industry is paying 20 cents a ton to finance the UMW's pension and health and welfare fund. Though there's no sign of any contracts being signed soon, Pres ident Truman's top labor consul tant Is optimistic of an early end of the controversy. John R. Steelman, vacation ing with Mr. Truman at Key West, Fla., said harmony in the coal Industry may usher in a "long period of Industrial peace." Steelman said, too, that the President was not surprised by and wrong." "Upon examination of Joseph Kiel, I find no evidence that he has ever been In a condition of temporary insanity," Dr. Haugen said. During the testimony, Davis emphasized the fact that Kiel had given a complete account of his actions before, during and after allegedly committing the murder. i Upon cross-examination by De fense Attorney James McGinty, Dr. Haugen admitted his opin ions were formed after examin ing and Questioning Kiel for a 45-minute period. James Richmond, assistant dis trict attorney, gave the opening argument for the state by re counting the case as it supposed ly took place. He referred first to testimony given by the State's witnesses, then referred to the wire recording confessioji which Kiel had made, stressing the. "meticulous detail" which mark ed the confession. He preceded his remarks by eading the indictment against the defendant which charges Xiel committed the murder by stran gling Tucker, done with deliber ate and premeditated malice. A second count, charging -he act was committed while engaged in tne commission oi rouoery, nau been deleted the previous day, upon motion by McGinty. At that time, Davis conceded the point but said the fact that the articles were taken (admitted by Kiel) may be considered in the case as a whole. The count was ordered removed yesterday by Judge .William G. East. (Additional Story on Page 9) Dr. E. W. Carter Chiropodist Foot Specialist - 129 N.

A lot of people think Lewis' short-week plan will strengthen his hand at the bargaining table. John D. Battle, executive vice president of the national coal association, says the three-day week is too short to fill the coun try's requirements and the min ers' pay needs. Battle added the plan "will cripple many mining communi ties that are dependent on coal production." Sentiment Divided In the coal fields, miners and their families greeted the end of the strike with cheers. Many miners said they could get out their Christmas lists that they'd have a little money to spend on their families. But v at Lewisburg, Ala., the operator of a small store said the miners are wondering how they will pay for Christmas ex tras. A mine foreman at Lewisburg was In a sober mood over pros pects of smaller pay checks be fore Christmas. "Most of my men don't like it all," he said. "I believe some of them would buck Lewis and go back to a five-day week if they thought there wouldn't be too much said about it." Some operators probably will post notices that pits will be ready for work five days a week. But, if the UMW members fol low their usual custom they'll work only three days until Lewis changes his mind.
