On the railroad issue, i City

Boost Under
Consideration
f By Arthur Edson
WASHINGTON, July 24H5V
President Truman today asked for
$10,486,976,000 more for defense
from Red aggression. At the same
time, he considered whether in-J
come taxes should be raised im
mediately to help pay the tremen
dous bill.
A reiquest for more money fiid
been forecast by Mr. Truman him
self in his message to Congress last
week. j-
Today he said the money would
be needed to train and equip 600,
000 men to add to about 1,500,000
provided in the pending budget for
the fiscal year.
He said it would be needed to
build tanks, planes, guns, ships.
Costs Broken Down
Mr. Truman gave this break
down on the costs:
Army, another $3,063,000,000 for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1951. I,
Navy ! and marines, another $2,-
648,000,000.
Airlorce, another $4,535,000,000.
Establishment-wide (all serv
ices) activities. $240,000,000. 4
At the same time Chairman Con-
nally (D-Tex.) of the senate for
eign relations committee disclosed
that administration planners are
considering possible use of Mar'
shall plan funds for military pro
jects in Europe.
There were some indications that
congress might start action short
ly on a stop-gap tax-raising device
pending the expected writing ox a
lone-ranee tax law.
Mr. Truman and congressional
leaders discussed the subject at the
White House. i
To Increase Marines
Congressional sources said that
an immediate increase of 60 per
cent is planned in the fighting
power of the marine corps. Others
said this would run some oy.uuu
men.
The sources also said the navy
will put two and maybe three
additional aircraft carriers into
service. They said plans call for
complete modernization of one
Essex-class 27,000-ton carrier,
complete renovation of another in
SO days, and possibly putting a
third carrier into commission.
Economic Bill Flagged
While Mr. Truman was studying
how this nation might best pay
for the Korean war, Symington
was plugging in congress for a
five-point -home front economic
program.:
Among other things, the admin
istration's economic bill would
give the president the authority
to:
Take over factories or materials
needed in the national defense:

The army today asked newspapers
and wire services not to publish or

of national guard .and reserve

Mai. Gen. F. I Parks, the army's
chief information officer, said that
such compilations would be val

"It is something that if he had
to get it together with his own
resources it would cost millions of
dollars, whereas if the wire serv
ices make it available to him it
costs only five cents," Parks said
in a letter to the wire services.
"It is therefore urgently request

Federal Aid to

WASHINGTON. July24 -ttV
A new program of relief payments
for 200,000 needy persons who are
permanently and totally disabled,
at a federal cost of $65,000,000 a
year, was approved today by a
senate-house committee writing a
compromise social security ex
pansion bill.
However, the group rejected"
house-approved provision for ex
tension of the old age and sur
vivors insurance to cover persons
who became unable to work be
cause of illness or accident, re
gardless of their need.
This means that such hand!
capped persons would get relief
under the federal-state- money
matching system for public assist
ance, based entirely on their need.
This would add a fourth cate
gory to persons receiving federal
state relief under the public as
sistance program of social security.
Such relief now is provided for
the needy aged, the blind and for
dependent children.
The needy permanently and
totally disabled would get benefits
on the same basis as the needy
aged. The federal government
would pay three-fourths of the
first $20 a month paid such a re
cipient, the state one fourth; then
the government would contribute
one-half of the remainder paid the
recipient, up to a total payment of
$50 for each recipient.

Magazine
Calling Raver 'Socialist'
WASHINGTON. July 24-6P-Rep. Jackson (D-Washj In a house
speech today attacked the Reader's Digest for an article which re
ferred to Dr. Paul J, Raver, head of the Bonneville Power adminis
tration, as "another socialist."
The description appeared in an article entitled "What does the
CVA mean to you?" The article appeared under the byline of Leslie
A. Miller, former governor of Wy
oming.
Jackson told the house Miller
had told Raver in two telephone
conversations that he did not write
that part of the article and "that
those words personally attacking
Dr. Raver were inserted by the
Reader's Digest." ,
At Pleasantvile. N. Y a spokes
man for Reader's Digest said he
was aware of Jackson s attack
but that officials of the magazine
in a position to comment on it
were not available.
Jackson quoted Miller also as
telling the Portland Oregonian, "I
most certainly did write the story
but not that part of which calls
Dr. Raver a socialist. The editors
cut it down and made some revis
ions." Jackson said:
"One of the great strengths of
this country lies in the freedom it
has always accorded the press.
But with it goes responsibility
a responsibility for frankness.
openness and honesty. I submit
that the Reader's Digest is guilty
of dishonest journalism for they
have misrepresented their own
views, as the views of an inde
pendent author- without his
knowledge or consent. In my
opinion they have abused the re
sponsibility that accompanies the
freedom which they enjoy."
The National Association of
Light and Power companies re
cently decided, he said, that its
members should not openly op
pose public power development
but try to convince the people that
such development is "socialism."
