Figures On Congress’ Budget
t j e Deceiving
conomy May Be D
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—It will be some weeks
or months after Congress packs up and goes home
before Bureau of the Budget will be able to give
any idea of just how much economizing—if any—
was done this session. Every paragraph of every
appropriation bill has to be studied carefully to see
whether it provides for a real saving, or merely de=-
ferred spending.
If it’s the latter, a supplemental appropriation bill
will have to be introduced in the first six months
of next year. This type of economy doesn’t save the
government anything, though it makes current fig
ures look good. .
U. 8. Chamber of Commerce has just put out an
estimate that money bills passed by Congress “this
year” will be sl2 billion under original requests
made by the President. This figure sounds awfully
good, but has to be carefully explained.
To get this estimate, George Smith, the U. S.
Chamber’s government-spending watchdog, added
all the money requests mentioned by President
Truman thus far in the calendar year of 1951.
The total came to $lO5 billion, Some of these
ideas were never more than a gleam in the Presi
| dential eye, and were never presented to Congress
as requests for the full amount.
Anyway, for all these items, Congress appropri=-
ated $93 billion, according to Mr. Smith’s figures.
Of the sl2 billion “saving,” he credits $4 billien to
* Congressional action, $8 billion to action by the
President cutting back on his own first estimates.
The figures are a little confusing because the
government keeps books not on a calendar-year
basis, but oh a fiscal-year basis—July 4to June 30.
So a lot of these items are chargeable to last year.
KOREAN WAR ALMOST DOUfiLED BUDGET’
In his ?udxet message to Congress in January,
| 1850, President Truman asked originally for $45
} billion, Along came the Korean War. By January,
| 1951, Congress had appropriated $Bl billion. This
cbviously wasn't very good econonrizing.
In his January, 1951, budget message, the Presi
dent asked for s7l billion. In June, Assistant Bud
get Director Elmer Staats was able to tell Congress
this would be cut back by the President to a min
imum of S6B billion. This is money to be spent this
fiscal year,
If the new tax bill raises only an additional $2.5
billion, on top of the estimated present taxes of
$58.5 billion for a total of s6l billion, it will leave
the government $7 billion in the red next June 30.
Authorization requests transmitted to Congress
for this fiscal year now total $95 billion. The Presi
dent’s budget message estimated requests would
total $98.5. But more requests are to come.
dne little itém is Defense Secretary Robert A.
Lovett’s last-nrinute request for a 10 percent pay
hike for the armed forces. It will cost SBOO million
a year,
In all, Department of Defense expects to ask for
between $5 billion and $lO billion extra next year,
on top of the indicated $55 billion in the regular
appropriation bill. Congress did order a 21 percent
cut on all military spending items, to save $1.5 bil
lion.
BUDGET FULL OF FALSE ECONOMY CUTS
False economy cuts of this kind appear all
through the apprepriation bills. For instance, on
the new Savannah River hydrogen bomb materials
plant, Congress cut a request for $484 million con=-
struction funds to $284 miilion. But the S2OO mil
lion “saving” will have to be voted later, or else
construction stops.
Similarly, Congress cut Federal Security Admin
istration grants to the states by $l5O million on the
assumption that under full employment, big relief
payments wouldn’t be needed. If thats’ a right
guess, well and good. If not, more will be asked for
later.
In spite of these somewhat misleading cuts in the
budget for this year, as it now stands, Congress did
effect economies of about five percent of total au=
thorizations. The indicated savings will be in the
nature of $3.5 billion, with action on several money
bills still incomplete.
This is about half the the ten percent, or $7 bil
lion cut which Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd and
other leading government economizers set out to
accomplish at the beginning of the year.
Among the major cuts were S4OO million off Vet
erans’ Administration. Public roads construction
was cut back SIOO nrillicn. The President’s S4OO mil
lion flood-relief bill was cut to sll3 million.
Perhaps the greatest battler for economy in this
Congress was Senator Paul Douglas of {llinois. He
proposed cuts on individual items totaling over S7OO
million, But all he could put over was a S2OO mil
lion saving.
‘ We'll raise prices as much as ihe government wiil
. allow, ~ , , Cars are under-priced compared with
\ other products.-—C. E. Wilson, president, GM.

ator than a Congressman. — Senator A. S. Mike

There Are Signs Of Il Omen
rg . f
In Reds” New Air Challenge
The air war in Korea has taken a new turn in
recent weeks, And it ig raising some uncemfortable
questions about the status of the American air
force,
Consider for example, a raid over northwest
Korea not long ago by nine B-29's. Russian-built
MlG’s shot down three—one-third of the total—
and damaged nearly all the rest. Though the num
bers involved were reiatively small, aviation ex
perts believe this incident casts serious doubt on
the future usefulness or the B-29 against jet inter=
ceptors.
In further illustration. of the handicap this fam=
ous bomber faces in Korea today, on another raid
eight B-29’s had to have the protection of no less
than 112 fighters. This huge ratio of fighters to
bombers would once have been regarded as unjus
tifiable,
Plainly, it is now tremendously costly in terms
of planes, men, fuel and money to send B-29's into
combat against high-grade jets like the Russian
MIG., By implication, the same handicap would
face use of the larger B-36, a jet-assisted aircraft
otherwise powered by conventional engines. |
These planes simply do not have the speed they
need to fend off the streaking jet attackers. The
only alternatives to employing a heavy fighter
screen are to use the B-29’s at night, to send them
out to bomb by radar in weather discouraging to
fighters, or to bomb parts of Korea where fighters
based in safe Manchuria might fear to go. All these
tactics are being tried.
But the mere fact that they mrust be resorted to
seems to be the handwriting on the wall for medium
and large conventionally powered bombers. Air
Force men are said to be casting eyes covetously
toward the B-47, highly touted jet medium bomber
just now getting into real production in the United
States. The B-47, however, is still a long way from
readiness for war in Korea,
In the meantime, our airmen will have to sweat
it out with what they have. They face not only in
tensified use of enemy jets but greatly stepped up
Communist anti-aircraft defenses. We are fre
quently losing planes to ground fire.
Singe we are employing our air strength offen
_sively, it'is natural our losses should exceed the
enemy’s. Too often this fact is obscured by the ten
dency of American battle accounts to lump Red
losses together, as if there was no distinction be
tween planes destroyed, probably destroyed, or
merely damaged.
From the start of the Korean war in 1950 up to
October of this year, this country lost 536 planes to
enemy action and an estimated 667 through opera
tional accidents—a total of 1,203, In the same per
iod, we claim the Reds lost 324 in combat, and
probably suffered loss of another 30¢ in accident.
There are many reasons for this showing: the
greater number of U. S, planes in comrbat, their use
in close support of troops (not matched by the
Reds), the sanctity of Communist bases from our
attack, the Red anti-aircraft batteries, and our of
fensive tactics,
But while it is plain why we are losing two
planes to every Communist craft downed, this story
“of air warfare in Korea affords us no grounds for
glib complacency over our superiority in the air.
With the future of our existing bombers in doubt,
and Red defenses against all our craft mounting in
effectiveness, we had better face it: We are getting
a real air challenge that has meaning far beyond
the limits of barren Korea.
They Don't Scare
A few weeks back Russia sent a sharp note to
Norway, warning its northern neighbor against
consorting too closely with the “war-mongering”
West. The Norwegiahs, a brave people, told the
Russians in effect to go hang. ‘
Now they've tried the same ganre with the Turks.
Their luck will be no better, for the Turks are as
tough as they come. Soon now the Russians may
learn that the days of the “big bluff” are over. The
free world knows the character of its enemy.
AMost Vicious Enemy
Hunting for villains is a great American pastime
these days. Some of the sleuthing looks about as
sensible as the “Good Guys and Bad Guys” adven
tures of our boyhcod fancy. But there is nothing
fanciful about one villain among us today.
Most everyone now has heard that many rela
tives of men serving in combat on the Korean
front are getling false reports that the men have
been killed or aré missing in action. In every case,
these reports are thoroughly malicious in motiva
tion.
Every mother, father, sister, brother and sweet
heart of a man in combat ought to kncw that the
only reliable word of his death or wounding or dis
appearance comes from the armed services by offi
cial telegram. All other reports may be completely
discounted,
What kind of human beings are there among us
who could stir such wicked mischief by playing
upon the deepest feelings of a soldier’s loved ones?
This is the most despicable thing that has happened
in America in many a day. All authorities should
combine to track down and punish severely these
vicious individuals. Their cause could only be the
enemy’s.
There is no chance that he (Truman) will not
run, . . . He hit the middle of the ring (with his
hat—in San Francisco speech.)~Dan Kimball, Sec- |
retary of the Navy.
