Truman Budget
(Continued from Page 1)
The difference between the
actual cut in appropriations and
the estimated cut in spending is
due to the fact that disburse
ments of many types of appropri
ations frequently are delayed be
yond the end of the fiscal year,
and some spending during a year
comes from funds carried over
from a previous year.
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

Washington.
Members of his party said he

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

Little Dallas Lad Alarms
Community with Promenade
Dallas, March 22 There is nothing unusual about Jeffrey
Hunter's wanting to take a walk over the half-mile route to his
grandmother's house even though he is only four years old. 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.

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."
