LONDON, Sept. 21.- There

D. {. Budget Requests
Expected 10 Go Above
90,0O0,000 Mark
Welfare, Health Chiefs
Due to Request Funds
For Construction Work
By BAINBRIDGE CRIST.

Budget requests of District de-
partment heads for the 1947 fis-
cal year already total $50, 300, ,596,
a summary of budgets submitted
to the Commissioners revealed
today, and expected requests of
welfare and health officials for
construction work probably will
push the total above the $50, 600
000-mark.
Appropriations for the current
fiscal year total s65 ,635 $780, but do
not include expected supplemental
appropriations that will be required
as a result of recent pay raises
granted by Congress. Supplemental
appropriations are expected to raise
the 1916 appropriations above s7o,-
OOO, 900.
Department heads have asked for
1914 new employees at cost of S.
585, ,578. Altogether, personal serv-
ices are estimated to cost $1l ,184 ,297
more in 1947 than is provided in 1916
appropriat tions made so far. A large
part of this increase is accounted
for by recent laws raising the SAL
aries of classified employees, teach
ers, policemen and f1remen.
Operating expenses, as recon-
mended by department heads, would
total s65 ,581 1867 in 1947. The
amount appropriated for that item
this year is $50,7l7,7O0, although the
latter figure does not include any
supplemental appropriation.
Totals for capital outlay, debt
retirement and investments are $21,-
21s ,229 for 1947, compared with $14,-
GIT $50 appropriated for 1916. Of
this $20,4l9,229 is proposed for capi-
tai outlay in 1947; as against $9,50l,- =
$50 Cor the current year.
The 1947 estimates include $500 900
for debt retirement, principally for
debts incurred under the Lanham
Act, but do not include $4,000, 900
for investments, an amount provided
in both the 1s45 and 1916 appropria-
tions to cushion the shock of the
backlog of construction projects
that have been delayed by the war.
This year. S416,0O0 was set aside
for debt retirement.
Hearing Called Next Week.
The budget estimates now are be-
ing reviewed by the Commissioners
with department heads, and public
hearing will be held at 10 am.
Thursday at the District Building.
The requests then will be pruned by
the Commissioners and sent to the
Budget Bureau which submits the

Reds Stand in Europe Senate Takes Recess
Seen Weighed Against To Cool Off After
u. ). Pacific Position Row Over Acheson
Nomination Debate
Brings Charges He
Attacked Macarthur

The Senate entered a three
day cooling-off period today in
the matter of whether Acting
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
did or didn't take a verbal crack
at Gen. Macarthur.
Senators Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska and Chandler, Democrat
of Kentucky say he did.
| They made such an issue of 1t
that Majority Leader Barkley re-
cessed the Senate last night until
Monday without acting on a long
list of appointments.
Among them was Mr.. Acheson's
promotion to Undersecretary of
State. Senator Barkley told re-
porters he thinks there'll be a
peaceful confirmation Monday.
Others held up included the
nominations of Frank Mccarthy of
Virginia as Assistant Secretary of
State, Maxwell NJ Hamilton of
Iowa as minister to Finland, four
District of Columbia judges and a
scattering of United States attorneys
and marShalS.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
George Atcheson, jr., political adj
wiser to Gen. Macarthur, is ex-
pected to arrive in Tokyo today or
tomorrow, thus establishing direct
liaison between Gen. Macarthur and
the State Department.
Mr.. AtcheSon, who will go on to
Siam later as American Minister
there, was assigned last month to
act temporarily as the State De-
partment's representative in advis-
ing Gen. Macarthur on political
affairs in Japan.
He will be in position to convey
to Gen. Macarthur the State De-
partment point of view about long
range objectives of the occupation
policy, involving drastic changes in
Japan's political, economic and So
cial system.
Officials here hoped that this di-
rect contact will help to avoid such
misunderstanding as arose this
week after Gen. MacArthur's an
nouncement Monday predicting that
occupation forces could be cut to
100000 within six months.
Some question remained in the
minds of most Senators as to
whether Acting Secretary Acheson
was aiming at Gen. Macarthur when
he said at news conference Wed
nesday that he had no comment on
the military aspects of what Gen
Macarthur had to say, but that "the
important thing" is that the policy
toward Japan is unchanged and
"the occupation forces are the in
struments of policy and not the
determinants of policy"
Mr.. AcheSon's comment came
after the State Department., the
White House and the War Depart
ment were caught fiat footed by
Gen. MacArthur's announcement.
Senator Wherry said Mr.. Ache
sons statement was 'in direct con-
tradiction to the policies of Gen
Macarthur, who, think is q great
general" 1t was "a blight on the
name" OF Gen. Macarthur by the
Acting Secretary of State, Senator
Wherry shouted.
Formerly an Assistant Secretary
OF State, Mr.. Acheson took Office as
Undersecretary this summer, under
recess appointment and has held
the acting title since Secretary
ByrneS left for London early this
month to attend a meeting of Big
Five Foreign Ministers.
Senator Chandler agreed that
