pRE(AUTI0N AGAINST
 ESPIONAGE BE TAKEN
Forty Thousand Dollar Ap- propriation Sought
 for Building

WASHINGTON, Feb. z.-Because any foreign spy can send trans Atlantic messages with radio built of dime store parts, Uncle Sam IS increasing precautions against the use of air espionage.
 In response to an appeal from James Fly, Chairman of the Fed eral Communications System, the Senate Appropriations Committee recommended that the FCS appro- priation be boosted $40,000 to build new monitor" station near An chorage, Alaska, as silent detec- tive of the air waves.
 Air Espionage
 Fly told the committee, There is extreme difficulty in avoiding espionage work by the use of high frequencies and peculiarly enough. in the high frequency field a trans hitting set is so cheap 1t may be made easily by skilled person who with a very few dollars can take suitcase. go around to the corner hardware store or the five and ten and come out with short wave transmitting set which may be ca pablo of international, or let US say, transatlantic communications"
 Station Necessary
 Fly expressed opinion the location of the checking station in Alaska is especially important because "the unsettled condition of the world makes the most important location on the West Coast of Alaska"

F.D.R.' 'sFriend, inc Enemy,
 He|p ped Solve Budget Problem
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 It develops that Senator Byrd of Virginia, one of the Presidents severest critics, made it possible for the budget to be held low enough to skin under the 45-bil- lion debt limit.
 Last June the Senate, at Byrd's request, called on all the gov- ernment corporations to submit financial statements. The order went to all such organizations as REC, Commodity Credit Corpora tion, Export-Import Bank, Fed eral Crop Insurance and dozen or more others. Byrd said many of them had a lot of capital they did not need and might well send back to the Treasury.
 When it came time for the Pres ident to make up the budget, he was ready to agree with Byrd.
 With the lessening need for loans in some cases and the grow ing surpluses in other cases" MT. Roosevelt said in his budget mes sage, it appears that some of these corporations will have ex- cess capital funds. Currently, in response to Senate Resolution i50
 Byrd's), a comprehensive survey and appraisal of assets of govern ment corporations is being carried out On the basis of preliminary studies, I estimate that it will prove feasible to reduce the capi- tai funds of some of these corpor- ations by an aggregate figure of $7O0, 100000, without in any way impeding their operations"
 With that much money to give him a lift, the President scaled the budget under the deadline by narrow S61 100000 That is, pro- vided $46O,oOO,000 is raised by spe- cial defense taxes.
 However, Byrd thought the money when found, should have been used to reduce the national debt, not merely to crutch up this years budget. Just a technicality, however, he agreed.
