Budget Cut FOVeseen

Washington. Aug. 2-tUPD-Tne budget bureau today forecast a rec duction of at least s5!OO0O00 in currently indicated war spending during the present fiscal year on the basis of its hope" that German will be knocked out of the war be- fore next summer.
 Budget Director Harold D. Smith said war spending nov actually was running at an annual rate of ssSs- GOO GOO GOO but that expected devel- opments in Europe would permit a decline in the later part Of the fis- cal year which would bring the overall spending figure for the i2 months ending next June 90 down to s9O 900 GOO 900.
 If German resistance should @collapse earlier than assumed" he said, expenditures May be somewhat below the s0oOooI 900. .oOo estimate"
 In a revision of the i9s5 budget estimate submitted to congress bs President Roosevelt last January Smith estimated total government expenditures, including those of eor- porations, at 99.029. 900 900 as com. pared to the January forecast oi e90, ,Te9 900 GOO. He estimated thai war spending would require almost s90. .OO0. 100000 of the total tho same amount forecast by the pres ident.
 This years estimates" he said "are influenced by the hope that the liberation 0f Europe may be accomplished before the end Of the fiscal year l9s5. while the Japaness phase of the war is assumed to con- tipae all through that fiscal veal and beyond"
 The budget director said govern ment receipts were expected t6 reach 6 new high Of es5, ,6eS 000, 900 almost s5O00 100000 more thar forecast by MT. Roosevelt, This, to- getheT with other improvements tfl the financial picture, will meaH that neither the deficit nor the public debt yiu assume the propoT' Lions estimated by the president % January, he said,

Jeep Beats Horse
Twice In Wild
Coolidge Chase

The days of Jesse James and
General BLOOD and Cuts" Patton
met for a few exciting moments in
Coolidge one moonlit night this
week.
Frank Daphna, who works In
Lyle's Place on the highway, un
saddled his horse and tied it to a
fence next to the tavern. Late that
evening a soldier from Louisiana
who had been celebrating the fall
of Paris, came out and saw the
horse. Quickly he united the hitch
rope and jumped on the horses
back. With a wild shout he was
off-racing with head bent low
down Coolidge's side streets, across
yards, over chicken coops, and un-
der clothes lines.
In the meantime a phone call to
NJ. P. headquarters brought a jeep
with two armed soldiers to the
scene of the midnight ride Of the
boy from Huey Longs great state.
The jeep driver, with the scouting
training he had learned in the ar
my, shut off his motor and listen
ed. Soon the drum of horses
hooves was heard far off to the
right, and the chase was on. The
jeep had the advantage of all mech
aniZed forces over cavalry it
had speed. But the horse could go
where the jeep couldn't. And, un-
der the able generalship of the lad
from the Evangeline country, the
horse did. Galloping around out
houses, leaping more chicken coops,
dashing under more clothes lines,
the mounted unit gave the roaring
jeep race worthy of being record
ed in Coolidge's archives.
But finally the jeep got the
horseman on a dirt road and
the race was over . for the time
being.
The M. P's, with kindly under
standing of the mood that mott
waited the Louisiana horseman, put
him on a bus and started him back
to camp. When the bus was out
of sight of the waiting jeep, the lad
from the land of rice and shrimp
and bayous, jumped from the bus
and went back to the tavern by
rear avenues of communion. Ah
.. . there was the horse tied
to the same fence and quite a bit
rested. Again came the wild yell
of the Cajuns and the chase was on.
But the end was inevitable-as it
always is when the days of Jesse
James meet the motor age. This
time the wild horseman went to
the clink.
