Limit Arms to
$450 Million
Washington, Aug. 25 (flV-Two
senate committees voted today
to put a $450,000,000 limit on
the amount of "excess arms that
may be sent to "friendly na
tions" under President Truman's
military aid program.
The combined committees on
foreign relations and armed ser
vices adopted- an amendment by
Senator Russell (D .: Ga.) writ
ing this ceiling into the arms
aid bill.
A similar limit already has
been adopted by the house.
Chairman Connally (D., Tex.)
told reporters that the limit will
be figured on the basis of the
original cost of the excess
equipment.
He said the $450,000,000
worth of equipment the admin
istration proposes to send abroad
could go to any of the countries
covered by the aid bill. These
include European' members of
the Atlantic Alliance, Greece,
Turkey, Iran, Korea and the
Philippines.
The committees are shaping
up the bill for senate considera
tion. They still have to act on
the amount of cash for pact na
tions whether China will be cut1
in for assistance.

Oregon Work
Started on Dam
Walla Walla, Wash., Aug. 25
(IP) McNary dam contractors
got the signal today to go ahead
with construction work on the
Oregon shore of the Columbia
river.
Col. William Whipple, district
army engineer, authorized con
tractors to start work under a
$15,835,539.50 contract. The
three firms which will handle
the work are the Guy F. Atkin
son company, Ostrander Con
struction company and J. A.
Jones Construction company.
The notice stipulates that work
must be started in 10 days and
be completed by May 1, 1951.
The contract covers construc
tion of a "Junior" cofferdam to
enclose an area for part of the
powerhouse excavation, building
concrete substructure for two
main power units, erection of
station service unit and as
sembly bay for the powerhouse,
placing part of the Oregon shore
abutment, building of temporary
fishways and construction of a
"second-step" cofferdam to pro
vide for final powerhouse and
spillway work.
Whipple said bids will be
opened Sept. 20 on building
curbs, sidewalks and driveways
at McNary, Ore., the govern
ment townsite at the dam.
Britain's Budget
Due for Slash
London, Aug. 25 VP) Sir Staf
ford Cripps told department
heads of Britain s labor govern
ment today to get ready for at
least a five percent slash in next
year s national budget. Such a
cut would bring savings of 150,
000,000 pounds ($600,000,000)
The chancellor of the exche
quer passed the word around
barely two weeks before the
scheduled start of Britain's dol
lar crisis huddle with U.S. offi
cials in Washington Sept, 7.
A government informant, who
told newsmen of the move,
stressed that it was not brought
on by American pressure. But
other Informed sources said
Washington has been informed
in advance of the decision to
reduce spending at least an ov
erall five percent compared with
the budget for the 1948-50 fiscal
year which began April 1. The
current budget totals 3,000,000,
000 pounds ($12,000,000,000.)
The labor goyernment has
been under severe fire from
some American political leaders
and newspapers, who - have ac
cused it of inefficient adminis
tration and spending too much
on social services.
Another government inform
ant said yesterday Britain might
have to revise drastically its
costly cradle-to-grave national
health service if the Washington
dollar talks fall.
Cripps' move to pare govern
ment costs, and hence taxes, ob
viously would be a point in Bri
tain's favor at the dollar talks.
One big economy target is
likely to be the armed forces.
Defense spending totals one
fourth of the current budget.
Odium Denies
(Continued from Page 1)
Before he finished, he was
saying that he regrets just about
everything he put into the
memo.
Worth's repudiation of the
document produced a sensation-
climax to the hearing. The
committee ordered a recess until
October 5.
Vinson Satisfied
Chairman Vinson (D., Ga.)
declared:
'There has been in my judg
ment, and I am satisfied in the
judgment of the committee, not
one iota not one scintilla of
evidence offered in these hear
ings to support the insinuation
that fraud, influence, collusion
corruption, dishonesty or favor
itism had any part in the B-36
procurement program."
Worth, who had been branded
a "stooge" and "rumor monger"
by Odium, sat abjectly at the
witness table as Vinson announc
ed the verdict.
"There has been very strong
and compelling evidence," Vin
son went on, "that the air force
settled on the controversial
bomber as the very best plane
it was able to get."
Not Slightest Blemish
"I think the nation should
know that Secretary of Air Sym
ington, Secretary of Defense
Johnson and air force officials
have come through this inquiry
without the slightest blemish and
merit the complete confidence
of the American people now and
in the future."
The chairman put his viewl
to a vote, and every member of
the committee raised his hand
in the affirmative.
When the committee resumes
sessions in October, It will deal
with remaining matters on the
agenda chief of which is the
respective roles of the air force
and the navy.
When you make popovers, slit
each with a small sharp-pointed
knife as soon as you remove
them from the oven; the slit will
allow the steam to escape and
make the popover crisper.

Farm Machinery Space
At State Fair Sold Out
DisDlav space for farm machinery is
State Fair despite action taken by organized farm machinery am
implement dealers in Portland, Leo Spitzbart, director of the faltt)
said today.
Refusal of some of the dealers
rates, for farm equipment, the-
first since 1941, will have no ef
fect upon the exhibits though
there will be some manufactur
ers' lines shown without com
petition. Exhibitors in general readily
agreed to an increase in their
rates rather than have the fair
boost the established gate charge
of 50 cents, which has remained
in effect since the mid-'30s. Any
increase would result in a great
ly decreased volume of visitors
it was felt. Of the 50-cent charge
the fair absorbs the tax and re
tains 42 cents with the other
eight cents going to the govern
ment. Machinery exhibitors paid $3
a front foot for space at the
fair this year and were charged
$4 this year except for corner
"spots," with those on the mid-
ways paying $5. An additional
one-half rate is charged for each
foot along the second side
The rate is applicable to those
under shed on paving with the
rate for each booth increased
from $60 to $100. All booth
space rented is the same size.
Statement that there was a
"subsidy" paid by farm machin
ery exhibtiors during the war
years from 1942 to 1945 in
clusive is denied because there
was no fair offered during that
period.
"The state fair is a non-profit
institution and was faced with
an alternative of raising the out
side gate charge or charging the
concessioners and exhibitors
more," Manager Spitzbart de
clared today.
"The fair is obligated for
$300,000 and obtains only $35,
000 from the state, out of which
$5000 is returnable for payment
on the grandstand. Out of the
remaining approximate quarter
of a million dollars comes the
annual upkeep of the 167 acres
of which 14 acres are under roof,
chiefly the livestock sheds," he
said.
Other exhibitors have been
glad of the opportunity to get
the choicer locations and are
paying $380 for a 12 by 12 foot
corner of the previous 120 by
100 space , which rented ' for
$550 for the week.
There will be a complete ma
chinery show, particularly of
equipment used locally such as
tillage equipment, sprayers,
dusters and pumps. In addition
a complete automobile and truck
show will be staged in the ma
chinery shed and adjacent
grounds.

expense involved was apt to bej j
neglectful of his health. Cul
The speaker commended the
county court for getting behindVr-
the Kellogg plan for the train-i '
ing of more health nurses and
said the enlargement of t,he
scope of public health is highly
desirable. However, in any '
health program that involves
the populace, Libby said the lay,
voice should be heard.
