Other Comparisons Here are some other ways of looking at it: The government would spend as much next fiscal year as it put out in the first 136 years of op erations, from 1789 through 1925. The budget is bigger than any two years' spending, put together, in the first five years after World War IL Military Funds WASHINGTON VP) - President Truman Monday asked for $51, 163,000 for the military services for the next fiscal year.

Legislators in botn nouses ox Congress have generally been cool to the President's plan. Among other things, it would abolish the 64 regional collectors of internal rvenue, who are politically ap- Eointed. They would be replaced y 25 Civil Service regional col lectors. Nevertheless, Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) told newsmen after a White House visit this forenoon he is confident the House will ap prove the program. The speaker said the House will vote on the measure this week, probably Saturday. Outspoken criticism emerged as Budget Director Frederick J. Law- ton and Revenue Commissioner John J. Dunlap appeared at a hearing before the House Expen ditures Committee. The House group is considering a resolution to reject Mr. Tru man's reorganization plan. It will go into effect automatically unless the House or Senate rejects it. Lawton conceded that the plan would not insure honesty in the nation's tax collection service, but declared it would prove "a better climate lor integrity. The budget director also ack nowledged that he lacked any .es timate of the cost of the Presi dent's plan. He said it would call for hiring 7,400 extra employes added to the present 57,000 cruelly to enforce the gambling tax enactea oy congress last year, Dispute Over Nun's Death in Egypt Grows ISMAITJ.A, Egypt VP) The controversy over who killed the American nun, .Sister Anthony, grew Monday and the British ordered a secret military court of inquiry into the incident.

Second A-Sub Requested by Confess Bill WASHINGTON (JP) The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee asked Con gress Monday to authorize the Navy to build a second deadly atom-powered submarine and a second giant carrier able to handle atom bomb-carrying planes. A bill which Rep. Vinson (D Ga.) offered would authorize the Navy to spend about $1,500,000,000 to build new ships and renovate others. It calls for construction of 70 warships of all types, 450 landing craft and 33 service ves sels. The introduction of the Vinson bill highlights concern of public officials about the submaine menace of Soviet Russia. The Red Fleet has never been outstanding as a surface force. But their ris ing interest in underwater vessels has sparkplugg ed U. S. Navy countermeasures. , Sunday, Secretary of the Navy Kimball said the Red sub fleet has grown from 50 to 300 or 400. Kimball said that U. S. sub strength has risen from 70 to 100. Some .reliable sources believe that the Russians have 200 subs concentrated near the Korean war area at Vladivostok. The hull of the first nuclear powered submarine is now under construction at the Electric Boat Company ways in Groton, Conn. It is scheduled for completion in 1954. The Navy and the Atomic Energy Commission are at work on the power plant. The big carrier called for in the Vinson bill would be of the 60,- 000-ton Forrestal class.
