Gl Vefs Met
By Governor
Seattle VP) The nation's
governors joined with Seattle
Wednesday in a warmhearted
welcome to 2,313 GIs from Ko
rea to let them know that
"America does care."
The governors, holding their
annual meeting here this week,
carried personal greetings from
their home states to the Army
veterans returning aboard the
military transport Marine
Lynx.
It was one of Seattle's big
gest dorkside demonstrations
for homecoming servicemen
and the dense mass of khaki
packed around the railing of
the big gray ship sent back a
happy roar to the dignitaries
and their own waiting depen
dents. The welcoming ceremonies
ranged all the way from Seat
tle's famous can-can girls,
flashing their gold-sequin gar
ters, to the appreciative whis
tles of the GIs and to a sober
moment when Rear Adm. Al
lan E. Smith,: commandant of
the 13th Naval District, told
the veterans:
"You have been misinformed
in thinkine that nobody cares.
Here is physical proof that
America does care."

Russian War
BudgetAdopted
Moscow W) The Soviet gov
ernment announced its 1953
budget Wednesday night and
earmarked more than a fifth
of the total for the armed
forces.
Finance Minister Arseny
Zverev told a joint session of
the Supreme Soviet parliament
that 1953 expenditures will be
330 V billion rubles with reve
nue at 543,300,000,000 rubles,
giving a budget surplus of 12,-
800,000,000 rubles.
Armed forces expenditure
would be 110,200,000,000 ru
bles, Sverev said, a 3,600,000,
000 ruble decrease compared
with armed forces expenditure
in 1952.
The ruble's value Is fixed by
the Soviet government at 25
cents, but this cannot be taken
as a standard of measurement
of Its purchasing power of the
Soviet military establishment
in comparison with the United
States because of the Soviet
Union's planned economy.

Ike Works on
Signing Bills
Washington UR President
Eisenhower waded into a stack
of legislation today to clear the
way to leave this week end for
a summer vacation in Colorado.
Back from a flying trip to
the Governor's Conference at
Seattle, the president had 207
bills before him for action this
morning. One other bill was
still in transit from congress.
Mr. Eisenhower hoped to
pass on the bulk of this legisla
tion before leaving for Denver.
But members of his staff said
he still would be forced to
take a number of bills with him
to Colorado.
Week in Denver
Mr. Eisenhower was expect
ed to spend more than a week
in Denver, probably living at
the home of Mrs. John S. Doud,
the mother of Mrs. Eisenhower.
When the president has
caught up with his study of
accumulated legislation he may
go into the Colorado mountains
north of Denver.
