THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1950 PAGE TEN Truman Budget Figures Cited ForOregonians Portland, Feb. 21 (Special) President Truman's requested federal 1951 fiscal budget of $42.4 billions, If adopted by congress "as Is," would cost 1,700.000 Ore gon residents about $432,480,000 or approximately $254 per person, according to a statement issued by Oregon Business & Tax Re search today. This proposed federal spend lne for year ending June 30, 1951. Is more than twice the $198, 436.710 of all state miscellaneous and local property taxes collected in Uregon, ia4S-4, the stale tax. Daver association asserted. Oregon's computed share of the proposed 1951 federal budget Is based on thestates contnuu tion, on an allocated basis, to to tal fiscal 1949 federal tax collec tions, which contribution was 1.02 per cent of $40,847,609,000. Ore eon's allocated share of total 1949 federal collections was $414, 826,268. The taxpayer organization ex plained that "allocation" of total 1949 fiscal year- federal taxes in cluded crediting each state with all employment and individual in come taxes collected therein, fed eral corporation taxes on basis of 1348 calendar year collections, and customs and excise and other miscellaneous federal levies on a July 1, 1948 population basis, a formula used by national tax re search agencies. Other Sums Taken The Truman fiscal 1951 $42.4 billion budget did not include ad ditional social security payroll "deducks" that would be required to finance the broad extension of social welfare, including social ized medicine, which would ex tract more millions from Oregon workers and their employers. The Oregon Business & Tax Re search statement said that Sen ator Byrd's (D., Va.) proposed $36 billion federal budget would have balanced the 1951 federal budget, stopped the fiscal sin of deficit financing and saved Ore gon taxpayers about $56,280,000, an amount sufficient to give, for example, each of Oregon's 23, 332 old age assistance recipients, as of December, 1949, $193 a month In addition to what they then received. The "economy pattern" In con gress, the state taxpayer associa tion stated today, seems leaning in the direction of a hoped-for across-the-board 10 per cent cut in President Truman's requests, based upon early house approp riation committee action in cut ting the first deficiency bill from $813 to $732 million, pud slashing two major items in the 1950 ur gent deficiency appropriation bill, the atomic energy commission and. veterans' administration, each 10 per cent. "The federal budget can be bal anced without Increasing taxes," the Oregon Business & Tax Re search statement said, "and def icit financing which mortgages our children and grandchildren, can be stopped, provided taxpay ers speak out for economy." Woman's Logic Convinces Judge Cedar Rapids, la., Feb. 21 mi Mrs. Clarice York of Iowa City, la., was charged with, reckless driving when her car skidded on icy pavement and tore down a telephone pole. "When a person slips and falls on an unsanded icy spot on the city's sidewalk, the city is respon sible," she told Traffic Judge Wil liam Matias yesterday. "But when that person hits an icy spot while driving and skids into a pole, you say it is.his fault." "You would make a pretty good attorney," Matias said. Then he dismissed all- charges against her. Aluminum poles are holding up the "big top" of a large American circus; light weight, strength and less obstruction to spectators are the advantages. Redmond Class To Present Play Redmond,.

YVtLson (Unitnl Trail Stuff Correspondent) London, Feb. 21 lli The Brit ish general election campaign went into its last 48 hours today with the government charging that Winston Churchill's call for another big three conference might open the way to another Munich. Foreign secretary Ernest Bevin again rejected the Idea in a speech last night at nearby Eltham Baths. "I say that the method we have been following, in close consulta tion with our American friends, is the right policy and I would regret that anything has hap pened to throw suspicion on It," Bevin said. "It has never been criticized in the house of com mons. "I am not enamored of this individual (meeting) business. After all, It was tried with Mr. Neville Chamberlain and Hitler, and it didn't work very well. . "I am quite certain it Is un wise to leave the course we are following. Every step we have been taking has been in step with the United States, which has the bomb." "Act Like Commissars" Churchill replied that the labor ministers were acting like com munist commissars In trying to prevent British voters from dis cussing the life and death issue of the atom and hydrogen bombs, and what to do about them. Churchill spoke at Manchester before a whooping political meet ing, then made a sentimental journey to Oldham where in 1899 he first ran for parliament. He was licked then, but later Old ham sent him to the house of commons for the first time. Churchill and other major can didates will campaign today in their own constituencies. Day af ter tomorrow the voters of Great Britain will make their choice be tween the labor government and the conservatives. Churchill ridiculed the labor government for having spent more than $5,600,000,000 on de fense and yet "not been able to make ah atomic bomb before the Russians." "There Is a big story to be told about that when the time comes," he said. . Churchill also blasted back at labor party sneakers for describ ing as a "stunt" his plea for an other big three meeting. "The socialist politicians and party managers take a poor view of democracy," he said. "They are above the- heads of the working people. To mention them (prob lems of the atomic age) Is a stunt. "I have confidence in the good sense and practical wisdom of the British nation. I cannot see why they should be warned off discussing Important issues at a time when they cannot only speak but vote. "After all, it is the mass of the people who suffer most -when wars come. It is not the social ist politicians who shed their blood." ' .
