Its funds for this fiscal year,
r thus bringing the total -of Mssv

- Last night it was disclosed that
the army will not use $13,163,519,'

to spend in the fiscal twelve
month. .
Hep Taber of New. York, rank

propriations committee, said he
expected navy, savings of $4,000,-
000.000 to $5,000,000,000. The
army-navy actions, he said, make
It "perfectly clear that with any
kind of management and any kind
of elimination of the things that
we do not need, the federal bud
get can be trimmed $25,000,000,
000 next year below what it was
for this year."
Chairman Cochran (D-Mo), of
the appropriations committee said
the armed forces fiscal position
reflects "a very favorable condi

plies and material are concerned.;
Treasury officials Insisted that
the need for additional taxes la

Subsidy Showdown Is
Due Monday in House
, By ALEX HV SINGLETON
- WASHINGTON, Nov. lMiTVBacking for continued con
sumer food subsidies came from the League of Women- Voters
todays while a powerful house coalition drove on toward a cli
mactic showdown Monday in Its fight to outlaw such payrnents.
The league declared in a
board: '
"Ruin lies ahead unless congress
quits undermining price control
and if it persists in its refusal to
see that subsidies are essential to
price-control; unless both congress
and the president hold firm on
wage stabilization; and unless the
congress stops backing away from
using the taxing power to "curb'
inflation.
The resolution also declared the
league "is appalled at the extent
to which the interests of the coun
try are being betrayed by political
leaders who yield to the demands
of special interest groups.
The : house completed general
debate late today, and took the
weekend off to think over the ar
guments, of opposing forces with
the likelihood that . several com
promise ' amendments .will be of
fered and defeated Monday be
fore a vote is reached on the bill
itself.-'
The measure, in two parts.
would give a new lease on life to
the Commodity Credit corpora

Ask Pay Boost
By the AaaociaUd Preoa
Aluminum workers Joined the
CIO march for higher pay Friday,
asking a 15-cents-an-hour increase
which would crack the little steel
formula of the war labor board.
Already the United Auto Work
ers bad demanded that this wage
formula be thrown away, and the
steel workers have called a meet
ing November 30 to push the union
campaign to scrap this restriction
as out of line with increased costs
of living. :.
'. Representatives of the aluminum
workers, saying' their demands
"are hv common -with, the unani
mous sentiments of the recent CIO
convention,", voted at Pittsburgh
yesterday to see to it that our
members receive full compensa
tion in cash for the failure of our
government to hold the ' line on
the price front.
A union spokesman said that
workers at each of the aluminum
plants established prior to Janu
ary 1, 1941, have received since
then increases "equal td or above"
the 15 per cent raise permitted
by the war labor board under the
little steel formula. A company
official said ' basic 'male hiring
rates at the New Kensington, Pa.,
plant are 7S cents an hour, ."with
their plants varying slightly.
