President Truman's budget estimates of expenditures in fis cal year 1951 were $42,438,757, 406. The committee said its cuts will hold the planned spending to $41,459,268,346. Republicans in the house are organizing a drive to make fur ther cuts when the bill is ready for amendment. They say they want to reduce the government's planned spending to a figure within $1,000,000,000 of the $37,305,586,034 in anticipated revenues next year. The defense department was cut $203,332,700 in cash. It ask ed for $13,028,675,000 cash and $1,085,785,000 in contract au thority. For the present year it received $13,055,562,498 in cash and $2,636,301,000 in contract authority. The veterans' administration was allotted $5,801,782,795, a cut of $205,832,205 from what it wanted and $528,736,205 less than it received this year. The bulk of this money is for veter ans' pensions, hospital facilities and benefits under the GI bill of rights. The atomic energy commis sion was put down for $647,820, 000 in cash and $300,150,000 in contract authority. It asked for $709,800,000 cash and $333,500 000 in contract authority. This year it received $702,930,769 cash and $466,075,628 in contract authority. Other highlights of the com mittee action: It recommended a new and tough anti-deficiency provision lo prevent federal agencies from incurring unauthorized deficits or overspending their allotments. Officials violating the provision could be jailed for two years and fined $5,000. It approved funds for employ ment of 1,000 more tax enforce ment agents, and for more anti monopoly work. It suggested that the post of fice department consider saving some money by reducing the number of daily mail deliveries in city areas. It sharply cut money for fed eral aid in construction of hos pitals, but provided extra funds for studies in developing the EXPERIENCED APPLIANCE SALESMAN to sell Philco, Bendix and Speed Queen electrical Ap pliances on salary and com mission basis.

Truman toOpen (Continued from Pane 1) The Grand Coulee ceremony will mark the installation of the last of the big turbines. Meantime, a tanned and re laxed President Truman pursued his favorite vacation hobbies to day in the company of favored pab while his staff kept him abreast of developments at Washington. Members of his party said he is more relaxed than he has been in several weeks. Long "bull sessions" with Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson have become almost as much a part of his vacation routine as his daily trips to the beach for a swim and a sunbath, nightly music concerts and occasional poker games. Vinson flew down Saturday with Clark M. Clifford, former special counsel to the president, for what Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross called a "so cial visit." The chief justice and Clifford are returning lo Wash ington this week. Pensioners Called Townscnd Victory club No. 17 will meet Tuesday night al 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Olive Rcddaway, 1421 N.

But when the little lad took the walk at 4:30 a.m. clad in his sleepers, he aroused considerable fuss around town. Jeffrey, four-year-old son off' Mr. and Mrs. Warren Hunter, awakened from his sleep, ap parently having undergone a fe verish nightmare he had been ill the day before. He found his way downstairs. Since it was dark and quiet, he came to the erroneous conclusion that his parents were not at home a mistake that any tot might have made. The little boy thought of his grandparents, who lived across town, and struck off through the cold night. The front door was locked only from the outside An astonished patrolman, Of ficer Charlie McCarthy, noticed Ihe boy heading westward about six blocks away from the Hun ter home, picked him up in the police car and tried to learn his identity. Meanwhile the parents had heard something of the boy's dis turbance as he left, and went lo see what was the matter. When they found him gone, they immediately called the police. Thinking possibly that the lad might have gone to the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Tracy, they also called them. Firemen had just return ed from the sawmill fire at Der- ry and they joined the search. Firemen met the officer with the boy. They took him to the City hall and started to bundle him in a blanket when the grand parents drove up and took him home. The lad was none the worse The lad was none the worse for his experience, but the par ents expect to give him some definite training on nocturnal hikes to grandma's house. Britain Refuses (Con tinned from Pane 1) Spurred by public indignation. by headline protests in the na tion's press and pressure from law bodies throughout the land, the house of lords today dis cusses the growing use by jittery youngsters of the gun, the brok en bottle, the lead pipe and the straight razor. Heading the list of suggested measures for curbing this is the possibility of making legal once again the use of the lash mere mention of which makes the most hardened British criminal wince. The house of commons is slated to discuss it later on. Britain abolished the use of, the "cat" in prisons two years ago, when the government re vised its law books on criminal procedure. But so vicious have become some of the dark-street muggings and robberies in recent times that lough old magistrates arc demanding the right lo impose flogging as well as jail terms. Lord Chief Justice Goddard, sentencing two teen-aged boys last February for nearly killing an elderly lady with a lead pipe because they were just looking for somebody to slug, declared: "The amount of violence that is going on ... is shocking. I believe it is largely due lo the fact that men know they can no longer be whipped for it. Detectives are finding it in- crcasingly easy to pick up tips from old experts in Ihe business of robbery who find this new trend repugnant to their profes sional pride. The magistrates association. England's powerful judge's or ganization that stood out in front in the fight lo outlaw the birch rod and the "cal," has decided to meet in April to reconsider its position. Tuesday, March 21, 1950 5 Gruesome Radio Shows Assailed Certain radio programs "now being broadcast through national and local radio stations that por tray gruesome scenes and ob jectionable crime stories," are condemned in a resolution adopt ed by the Social Action commit tee and Parents' Forum of the Knight Memorial church. "These same radio programs are being put on the air at hours when the young people have an opportunity to listen lo the same and it is the concensus of opinion that such crime stories and radio programs are injurious to the lives of young people, especially juveniles," sets for the resolu tion. The croup went on record as "being opposed to the continued broadcasting of all crime stories and radio programs portraying gruesome scenes and sordid de tails and methods of crime." It was resolved "that such necessary methods be taken to present the views of such groups with the idea in mind of caus ing the radio sponsors to change the type of programs."
