Louis was then to resign his title and assign the four exclu sive contracts to a corporation to be formed by Wirtz and Nor ris.

Some Democrats, however, were less optimistic. The Republicans cited a state ment by Budget Director Perci val F. Brundage, .made public Wednesday night, that the Budg et Bureau is running a fresh check for possible government economies in hopes of cutting spending both this year and in fiscal 1958. Brundage, In his testimony last Friday before an appropria tions subcommittee, said he hoped "in a couple of weeks' to have some preliminary fig ures on what could be done. He indicated he would lay his rec ommendations before the Presi dent's cabinet. Democratic sources viewed Brundage's statement with cau tion. They noted he had not specifically promised any reduc tions and, furthermore, had de clined to commit himself to send his economy proposals if any to Congress. They pointed out that else where in his testimony Brund age had not appeared too hope ful of any significant downturn in government spending. He esti mated the budget for fiscal 1959 at between $70 and $72 billion.

Pilot Whale Gels Burned Dorsal Fin Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.
