that he might retire-or be retired

In speech accepting the freedom
of this city, he said that he "or
whoever stands in my place" would
have to ask War-Weary Britain
''for a new leap forward, for a new
lifting of the soul and body to
defeat Japan.
Churchill said that in the event
there was a new prime minister he
would support him whoever it may
be, but did not elaborate further.
However, a general election will be
held after We Day.
I'VE have the Japanese to finish.
Churchill said, "and we have to
stand absolutely with our great Am

I'VE have no intention of en-
couraging any festivities or thanks
giving until we are assured from our
military commanders that the task
is so far complete that everyone
may cheer" he said.
The reference was taken as an in
dication that victory would be pro-
claimed only after all pockets of
German resistance have been erased

On Warren Budget
Cuts Ranging From
Ten to Forty 30
Millions BrOached
BY LLOYD LAPHAM

SACRAMENTO, April 81. CUP)--
The assembly ways and means COM
mittee will start taking an item
by-item vote on Governor Earl War
ren's $683,000,000 budget next week
with the expectation of cutting it by
more than $l0,000.000. Chairman AL
bert c.. Wollenberg, (RD, San Fran
cisco, announced Saturday.
Wollenberg said he hoped to have
the budget ready for presentation to
the assembly within 10 days. That
apparently would bring 1t up short
ly after the house disposes of the
Governors tax reduction bill which
is expected to be disposed of next
week.
The Democratic minority is hold
ing out for a deeper cut in the bud
get than that predicted by Wollen-
berg. Assemblyman Alfred w. Rob-
ertson Santa Barbara, Democratic
leader. is arguing that 1t can be
cut by $40,000,0 900 which would make
up for a sales tax reduction to 2
per cent now contemplated in the
assembly.
However, Wollenberg said he was
sticking by a $10,0O0,000 to $20,-
100000 cut he declared some time
ago could be made. a
There were persistent reports of
a compromise OF the tax reduction
and subsidy battle after the senate
tax reduction bills were, placed on
the inactive file. The bills were
amended to make their effective
ness dependent on. passage of a
$100,000,000 local works Subsidy bill
and were then disowned by their
authors.
However, it was apparent the
Warren administration will concen-
trate it's attention on the assembly
tax bill which is generally in line
with the Governors views.
