0f 50 Budget
“Poised Bludgeon”
Held Over Weak Nations
By Soviets — Acheson
By The Associated Press
The Soviet Union has earmark
ed the equivalent of $19,850,000,-
000 for defense this year. This
represents 19.5 per cent of her to
tal expenditures.
This was disclosed in the bud
get speech of Finance Minister A.
G. Zverev to the Supreme Soviet
(Parliament) last night. Prime
Minister Stalin and members of
the Foreign Diplomatic Corps
were present.
By contrast, Zverev said, the
Soviet: Union spent 32.8 per cent
of its income on defense' in 1940
and 24 per cent in 1946. The fig
ure igst year was 19 per cent.
Hard To Compare
There is no easy standard to
compare what the United States
and Russian governments consider
defense items. The current U. S.
budget calls for an expenditure of
$13,028,000,000 for defense which
is 30.6 per cent of the total bud~
get. Comparative figures between
the U. S. and the U. S. S. R. vary
because experts disagree on the
ruble’s purchasing power in rela
tion to the dollar.
Speaking i Dallas, Tex., U. S.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
charged the Russ——
sians are using World News
their military
preparations and Roundup
Commumat plove .o il
ting to break down the resis
tance of non-Soviet nations. He
accused the Soviet Union of hold
ing a “poised bludgeon” over the
weak nations to soften them for
absorption by Russia. He added:
“I do not believe this creates
an immediate danger of war, but
it is being used as a poised blud
geon to intimidate the weak, and
it does confront the world with
the possibility that the Soviet
leaders, whenever they feel that
they are strong enough, may be
tempted to make use of military
force as an instrument of their poli
“,‘"
Elsewhere in the global news
picture:
Yugoslavia — Premier Marshal
Tito’s government protested to the
Russian embassy in Belgrade
against a Soviet blockade of Yu
goslay shipping on the Danube.
Finland — The Soviet Union
and Finland have signed a five
vear trade pact in Moscow
amounting to $320,000,000. It is
Finland’s biggest commercial past.
West Germany — Hundreds of
U. S. constabulary military police
and more than 1,000 German police
are searching for a former GI who
broke from jail in the American
zone. He is Homer Cook, a former
boxer who illegally entered Gar
many to see his German girl
friends.
Ethlopia—Rescue parties in cars
are ploughing through a roadless

WILD OIL WELL BURNS IN TEXAS
This blazing oil well 25 miles northeast of Big Springs,
Texas, erupted into an inferno, burned a geologist to
death, and roars on unchecked. Men in hulldozers in the
foreground are bulding earthen tanks to hold water in
reserve for fighting the fire. Black, greasy clouds of
smoke billow upward more than a thousand feet and
flames are leaping 600 feet into the air. The well is the

By The Associated Press
A Hancock cpunty educator has
accused Gov. Herman Talmadge
of fraternizing with negroes while
claiming he did not seek negro
votes.
“The Governor is a two-faced
something,” said David Dyer,
chairman of the Hancock county
board of education, commander of
the Sparta American Legion post
and president of the Sparta Lions
Club.
His comments came yesterday
when he introduced Gubernatorial
Candidate -M. E. Thompson in
Sparta. An estimated 200 persons
gathered for the political talk,
“Did you know Talmadge visi
ted Hancock county last year?”
asked Dyer. “Well, he did, but no
wonder you didn't see him—he
was visiting an influential negro,
Ben Hubert. Here's a letter.from
Hubert reporting the visit. It just
illustrates Herman Talmadge’s in
sincerity on the race issue.”
Bloch Talks
Talmadge and one of his top
lieutenants, Charles J. Bloch, Ma
con attorney, continued to keep
the race issue well to the fore in
the campaigh. Talmadge repeated
in a speech at Marietta that as
long as he is governor white and
negro students will not be mixed
in classrooms.
Bloch, in a radio talk over a
statewide network, declared the
proposed fair employment practi
ces commission and -segregation
combined are the “chief issue” in
the race for governor.
He called the recent Supreme
Court rulings against segregation
threats to Georgia’s tradition and
way of life. :
“What can we do about it?”
Bloch asked. “As Senator Russell
(D-Ga) said last Thursday, ‘we
must resist the trend at every

WASHINGTON, June 14—(AP)

Development (CED) said today
that prospects are good for a
doubling of the real income, or
buying power, of the average

average rate as in the past half
century,
The CED offered a formula for
boosting real wages to $2.66 an
hour in 1980, In terms of 1949
prices, as against the average
worker’s $1.33 today and the aver=
age of 43 cents 50 years ago.

Filibuster Seen As House Changes
Bounce Rent Bill Back Into Senafe
WASHINGTON, June 14.—(AP) —Senators supporting
a bill to expand the social security program made plain to
day they regard it only as a step toward a further over
hauling of the system.
Chairman George (D.-Ga.) of
the Senate Finance Committee told
reporters a resolution will be of
fered to authorize a Congressional
study of problems left unsolved
by the measure now before the
Senate,
The resolution will provide
among other things for investiga
tion of proposals for a pay-as-you=
go pension system with universal
coverage.
George said the resolution con

The bill now up for action, a
revised version of a measure
‘passed by the House last year,
would bring about 10,000,000 more
persons into the retirement sys
tem. About 35,000,000 are cov=
ered now.
It also would increase monthly
benefits to eurrent beneficiaries
an average of 85 to 90 per cent
and approximately double the
amounts payable to persons re
tiring in the future,
Senators Millikin (R.-Colo.) and
Taft (R.-Ohic), both members of
the Finance Committee, took issue
with GOP colleagues who contend
that the bill should be rejected on
the ground that it would only tend
to perpetuate a fundamentally poor
ipr%gram. o R
. House changes rent con
‘trol bill bounced it back to the
Senate and a possible new fili
buster.
On Monday, the Senate voted a
six months extension of controls,
with an option of six months ad
ditional. The House yesterday
agreed to seven, plus five optional.
Senator Cain (R.-Wash.), who
waged a one-man filibuster against
the measure, studied the House
changes to see whether he’d try it
again.
Present controls expire the end
of this month.
Economy Drive |
The so-called Senate Economy
Drive to cut government spending
was not off to a strong start. |
Reliable sources said an appro
priation subcommittee has in
creased the money the House voted
for the Agriculture Department’s
annual appropriation.
The investigations on Commun
ists, crime and lobbying were high
in the Congressional news.
Senator Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa),
member of a special Senate group
investigating charges of Commun=-
ism in the government, called for
the testimony of Supreme Court
Justice Tom Clark and FBI Direc
tor J. Edgar Hoover.
He wanted their version of the

Storm Warnings
Set For Opening
WASHINGTON, June 14.—(AP)
—The Weather Bureau said today
its hurricane warning sysfem,
which resumes operation Fridm
will link 27 Atlantic and G
Coast cities by a special teletype
hookup.
On the Bureau’s calendar, June
16 of each year marks the be«
ginning of the storm season, &l
though the big blows seldom come
before July or August.
But I. R. Tannehill, chief of re
ports and forecasts, told a reporter
“there’ve been earlier storms and
we always want to be prepared.”
The teletype circuit is used for
assembling information on storms
and passing it along. The number
of cities on the wire has been in
creased gradually since it went in
to operation a few years ago.
June 16 also is noted by the Air
Force and Navy whose big planes,
equipped with weather observa
tion instruments and trained
crews, are ready to depart on
shorti notice to investigate any
“suspicious” area. :
The Red Cross and other dis&
aster units recheck equipment and
personnel — alert to move in it a
storm should strike the coast. .
