Three Daring Trips
A 10-passenger Coast Guard

It was believed the missing men

it skidded down the mountain.
Officers doubted that the three
men were alive, but there was
slight hope that they might be
seriously injured and hidden by
the deep snow.

60 Cents of Each Dollar
Slated for Armed Forces;
Biggest Total Since War II
By CHARLES F. BARRETT
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) President Truman laid before
Congress Monday an $85,444,000,000 budget tagged as "the
price of peace."
The total, proposed as the government spending program
for the 12 months beginning next July 1, is more than the
government has ever spent in any one year except for two
World War II years.
It amounts to $550 for each man, woman and child in ths
country.
Sixty cents out of every dollar would go to the armed
forces.
Many of the legislators were quick to say they would not
vote that much money.
However, cries for economy have invariably greeted
everv presidential budget. And in three of the past five years
Congress has wound up by voting more money tnan Mr.
Truman asked.
Here is the reaction of some
individual legislators:
Sen. George (D-Ga): "It's too
big it's too great." He said Con
gress shou'd cut "about five to
seven billions" from the total.
Similarly, Sen. O'Conor (D
Md.) said Congress should aim for
a savings of at least four to five
billions. He said it should cut
non-defense spending and trim
out waste in military spending.
Rep. Taber (R-NY), long one of
the most vocal advocates of budget-cutting,
said he wanted to
make a detailed study before set
ting any goal for savings. But he
declared that "obviously" big cuts
could be made.
More for Armed Forces
The program the President out
lined calls for an 11 billion dol
lar expansion in armed forces
spending raising it to more than 51
billion.
The expansion would include a
start on building the Air Force
from 90 wings to 143.
And he gave notice, in a budget
preview for reporters, that a new
five to six billion dollar five-year
expansion program for atomic en
ergy facilities will go to Congress
soon.
This isn't included in his budget
for the fiscal year starting July
1, Mr. Truman said, because it
would be spent later in connec
tion with some fantastic weapons.
Plumps for Foreign Aid
He said his foreign aid pro
gram, under especially heavy cri
ticism, "is vital and indespensable
. ... in the total fight for se
curity and peace." Mr. Tru
man called for expanding total aid
from $6,868,000,000 this year to
$10,844,000,000 next fiscal year,
with military aid alone jumping
from four to eight billion.
