The merger move gathered momentum as republican finan cial managers, talking of sharp reduction in Mr. Truman's ?37, 500,000,000 budget for the fis cal year starting next July 1, looked hungrily at a projected outlay of S 11,000,000,000 for the forces. Agreement Near On both sides of Caoitol Hill the GOP leadership seemed nearing agreement that $3,500. 000,000 may be about as much as congress can hope to pare irom the president s estimate. Chairman Taber (n-N.Y.) of the house aDDroDriations com mittee said the total can be re duced "at least three or four billions." This is the amount Chairman Taft (Ohio) of the GOP senate steering committee has said he thinks can be "squeezed out." Taber told reporters his con tention that appropriations can be cut to slightly over $29,000, 000,000 had been widely taken to mean he intended a slash of some $8,000,000,000 in the bud get total. He said he referred only to new appropriations and that the budget . provides for spending several billions -in car ryover funds. - If the republicans are going to make good their promise to take a big bite out of the presi dent's figures, they conceded, they must do considerable nip ping on army and navy tunas which account for aDout ju per cent of the total. - "Substantial, honest-to-good-ness cuts" in military spending were foreseen by Rep Engel (R Mich.) if the army and the navy are merged. Engel, who will head the ap Dronriations sub-committee han dling army ' funds, told report-. ers that even without a merger large cuts could be made with out sacrificing essential nation al defense." ' "But I want one dollar of national defense for every dol lar spent," Engel added. GP Man Shot In Accident GRANTS PASS.

Socialist Party Splits In Red Row ROME, Jan. 11 (P)A large, anti-communist faction of the Italian socialist party seceded to day over the issue of collabora tion with the communists, and planned to form a new party. xne taction s leader, Giuseppe Saragat, president of the constit uent assembly, announced the split at the socialist party's 25th annual congress and said the walkout raised "the specter of civil war." Saragat thus broke directly with Pietro Ncnni, pro-communist chairman of the socialist party, who is Italy's foreign min ister and acting premier during the current visit to the United States of Premier Alcide de Gas perl. (Gasperi said In Cleveland that statements that the split would lead to civil war were "ridicu lous.") The socialists generally are considered Italy's second strong est party, ranking just behind the centrist Christian democrats. The communists rank third. Saragat said his new party would be called the "Italian so cialist party, international sec tion of socialist workers." He said it would contain, besides his own followers, a group called tne -initiative," led by 25-year-old Matteo Matteotti, son of the socialist martyr of the fascist era, and possibly another faction known as the "centrists.'

O., Jan. 11 Ut) Premier Alcide de Gasperi, vis ibly worried at news from Rome that the socialist party had broken apart, today said state ments that the split would lead to civil war were "ridiculous." (At Rome Giuseppe Saragat, constituent assembly president and leader of the right wing socialists who deserted the party said the break raised "the spec ter of civil war.")
