PAGE TWO THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. OREGON MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1950 National Defense Budget Produces Army, Navy Cuts By Dayton Moore (United Prass Staff Cornspondent) Washington, Jan. 9 HP) Presi dent Truman today submitted a $13,500,000,000 national defense budget for fiscal 1951 with the emphasis on air power. The air force was given more money while both the army and navy suffered cuts. The marines were dealt the biggest slash in military personnel, losing 11,300 about 13 per cent of their present manpower strength. The overall defense budget was about $400,000,000 more than . the spending estimates for this - year. But it was about $800,000, 000 less than President Truman originally requested for fiscal 1950, reflecting recent defense de- partment economy cutbacks. The proposed budget would ' maintain "balanced" land, navy . and air forces with a total of 1,507,000 officers and enlisted men and women. This is slightly less than the present manpower strength of the three armed serv ices. But the number of person nel assigned to combat forces would be the largest since the de mobilization following world war II. 10 Army Divisions The. defense budget calls for 10 army divisions, a naVal fleet of 238 warships and 48 air force air groups the same size fighting forces as now. President Truman said "cur rent world circumstances" made it necessary that this nation sup port armed forces of this size in peacetime. He said the United State must maintain "relative mil itary readiness." - The air force was allotted $4, 400,01)0,000 to spend, an Increase of $700,000,000 over this year. The army was cut from $4,300, 000,000 to $3,900,000,000 and the navy from $4,400,000,000 to $4, 200,000,000. Aircraft procurement expendi tures were estimated at $2,100, 000,000 to pay for 2,300 planes to be delivered during fiscal 1951 1,370 for the air force and 940 for the navy. The defense budget also includ ed $650,000,000 for adding to the strategic stockpile and $006,000, 000 for research and development of new and improved weapons. Comparison Made President Truman's proposed fiscal 1951 stacks up against es timated defense spending , this year as follows: , , ; ' Rounded off In billions of f dollars.) ' 1951 .my 3.9 Navy 4.2 Air force 4.4 Defense secretary's office Miscellaneous items .... 0.4 Stockpiling 0.6 mio 4.3 4.4 3.7 0.2 0.5 Total 13.5 13.1 President Truman urged exten sion of the peacetime draft as a "positive demonstration of our resolve to maintain the strength of the free world." Defense spending continued to be the largest item in the national budget. The 1951 budget, President Tru man said, provides highly-trained regular U. S. armed forces ready for immediate use in case of war. These regulars would be capable of rapid expansion and would be backed up by reserves trained for early mobilization if necessary, he said. The $13,500,000,000 budget would maintain these fighting forces: Forces Outlined Army 630.000 regulars, 605, 000 reserves and guardsmen, 10 divisions, and 48 antiaircraft bat talions. Indications were that lo cations of the divisions would con tinue as now five in this coun try, four in Japan and one in Ger many. Navy, Including marines 461,000 regulars, 256 reserves, 238 warships, 5,900 operational planes for regulars and 2,500 for re serves. Marines would have 74. 400 on active duty, 11.300 less than now, and would be organ ized into six battalion landing teams instead of in two divisions. Air force 416,000 regulars, 118,000 reserves and guardsmen, 48 air groups and 13 separate squadrons in the regular force, 27 groups and 25 base wings in the air national guard and reserves. 6.800 operational pianos for the regular force and 3.100 for the air national guard and reserves. Wildcat Strike j Ends in Illinois Springfield, 111., Jan. 9 mi -Illinois United Mine Workers to day ended their wildcat si l ike and reported for wotk as ordered by union officials. First reports from central Illi nois mines indicated that the men were entering the mines on sched ule. "They're reporting for work, and it looks like they are going to work," an official at Pcaborty Coal Co. mine here said. Last week, about 15.Q00 of the 23.000 UMW workers In the stalo staged an "unauthorized walkout" while the remainder of the soft coal miners across the country held to their three-day work week. The common cold Is believed to be caused by one of a group of viruses. OUT OUR WAY HE QUIT WAVIN' THAT RAZOR WEAR. MV RAW HIDE RIATA I'M SRAIPINV OH, IT'S A SAFETY RAZOR--WEI I.1.IAT AIN'T SO B V Flow of Arms To Europe Halts; Pact Gets Study James E. Roner' (Unite r Press Staff Corrsspondent) Washington. Jan. 9 HP) Anglo- American differences have stall ed progress of the U. S, plan to give $i,ooo,ouu,ouu wortn oi arms to Europe. The dispute caused communist propagan d 1 s t s to cheer, ' The red radio at Warsaw noted the trouble "within the capitalist family" gleefully but It held out no hope that it would last. The snag arose when Great Britain refused to accept restric tions which the United states wanted to place on arms that America will give Britain. Until this difficulty is resolved it prob ably will take several more weeks there will be no arms shipments overseas. The Anglo-American friction took on added significance as oth er obstacles to the program dis appear. The .. North Atlantic council, top organization under the Atlantic pact, late Friday ap proved broad strategic plans for the defense of western Europe against possible soviet aggres sions. , : Go to President These plans now go to Presi dent Truman for his acceptance. He then can free the full $1,000,- uuojuuo wjiicti congress apwopri- atpftl td '-arm Western Europe at sboff as'lt agrees on an integrat ed defense plan. The plan now accepted provides that In event of Russian aggres sion against western Europe: 1. The French army, support ed by what American and Britisl occupation troops might be on the continent, would try to absorb the initial shock of the soviet strike. . 2. Great Britain would throw Its tactical aircraft fighters and fighter-bombers against the enemv. 3. American and British naval forces would take charge of the sea lanes If possible, 4. The United State would send Its strategic bombers the heav ies, probably loaded with atom bombs over .the enemy s nomc land. Would Offer Bases Smaller members of the Atlnn tic naet would do what they could But a state such as Iceland, which has no armed force, could offei nothing more than military bases for the bigger powers. In appropriating funds for the program, congress speeuiou mm the pact partners first must agree on the defense strategy, agree to help each other, and promise to arm themselves as much as pos sible without upsetting their econ omies. Congress also specified that each nation receiving U. S. arms from the United Stales must sigi a specific agreement with Amer ica. Great Britain has refused to ac cept the U. S. suggestion that It promise not to transfer arm without first consulting the Unit ed States.

The bottom edge of the window now extends all the way down to the belt moulding, giving an attractive double moulding line around the rear. -. - Fenders Largerg Rear fenders have been length ened and retain their full height almost to the rear of the car. They have been peak-crowned and are a major contribution to the whole new conception of the De boto s appearance. The rear bumper has been deep ened and widened to conform with over-all design and to give, more protection ,to the new faow ders. New, sturdled bumper guards are provided The tall light, stop light and direction turn light have been combined in single units mounted on each rear fender, adding still more to the widened look. Horizontal chrome trim adds length to the car's appearance and it has been lowered to give a road-hugging iook. New Grille An entirely new grille gives an impressive, more massive head-on look to the newly-styled front end of the new De Soto, Hie grille has been lowered and is divided In the center by a col- ured section bearing the new De Soto crest medallion. J Ins section is painted to match body colors, While the popular De Soto "wa terfall" design of the grille has jeen retained, it now consists of vertical bars of equal width curved outward. New combined circular park ing lights and turn signals have been set into the grille, beneath each headlight. New custom wool floor carpet lug, front and rear, is water-resistant, color-fast, easy-to-clean and long lasting, and there are several choices of new, rich up nolstery patterns and materials.

Here is the detailed breakdown Madame Chiang Will Sail Soon For Formosa By Claire Cox (United Preu Staff Correspondent) New York. Jan. 9 UP Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek, unsuccessful in ner attempt to gam American military aid for the Chinese na tionalists, prepared today to Join her husband on communist-be leaguered Formosa "where some of us may be killed In the battle for freedom." Although the "Mlsslmo" kept the day and hour of her depart ure for Chiang's island bastion a secret, she said she would leave the home of her brother-in-law, former finance minister H. H. Kung, "In a few days." The oJ-year-old Mme. Chiang said goodbye to the United States yesterday In a 13-mlnute speech over the National Broadcasting company network. She vowed that she and the generalissimo would wage war to the death with Chinese communists and asked Americans to aid "il It is in your hearts." silence Broken Mme. Chiang's farewell broke a silence of more than a year during which she has lived in se clusion at Kung's luxurious River- dale home. She said she had not pleaded publicly for American aid because "when a nation does an act of justice it must be of Its conscience and not by re quest." Her speech was bitter toward those democracies "so morally weak" that they have recognized the Chinese communist govern ment and left the nationalists 'abandoned and lone." She said "for shame" to Britain in partic ular. . Mme. Chiang thanked the Unit ed States for its '.'aid and com fort" but made no reference to President Truman's recent an nouncement which killed all hope mat America would help the na tionalists in a last-ditch defense of Formosa. She flew hem In November, 1948 to 'make' a per sonal appeal to ivir. iruman tor just such aid. Because of the failure of her mission, it was believed that the Chiangs would never accept American refuge if they are forced to flee Formosa unless It is the onlv wav thev can eseane execution. The Chiangs are known to nave large resources and in vestments here. Observers said the Chiangs would prefer to take refuge in tno Philippines, but political de velopments might make it diffi cult for that country to refuse communist demands for their ex tradition as "war criminals." If such a situation developed, they might go to Europe, it was be lieved. PLANE CRASH FATAL Ashland, Ore., Jan. 9 Ul'i Arlo B. Barnes. Medford apartment house owner, was fatally injured yesterday when his light airplane crashed into a toboggan run after his winglip struck a power line, aumonties said.
