President Asks
17-bi||ion Cut
I'm Navy Funds.
Congress Asked to
Review Lows CoIIinq
For New Ships
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
President Truman asked Con-
gress. today to cut the Navy's
spending authority by nearly
ST, 200, ,0O0, 900.
He also recommended that Con-
gress consider "a complete review of
existing legislation authorizing the
construction of naval vessels"
The reductions in Navy funds pro-
posed by Mr.. Truman would apply to
appropriations and spending au-
thorizations for the present fiscal
year, which began July l, and to
some appropriations which would
carry over into the next fiscal year
under existing legislation.
Savings were permitted, in part,
the President explained in a letter
to Congress, because of discharges
of enlisted personnel, the cutting
down of the shipbuilding program
and reduce dexpenses for maintain
ing and operating ships and navy
yards, keeping up naval aviation and
providing naval ordnance.
Demobilization Problem Considered.
I'm making these recommends
tions for reductions" Mr.. Truman
said, consideration has been given
to the tremendous problem of de-
mobilization and the yet unde-
termined requirements for a peace
time Navy
"As indicated in my letter Of
September S, 1945, plan a continu-
ing review of naval appropriations
with the view to recommending
further adjustments as conditions
warrant"
The exact figure of the slashing
proposed today was sl6,824 $50 ,927.
OF this, s11,518,301 1853 would be
in current appropriations and au-
thorizations and S5,306 ,252,674 would
be in now unneeded balances of ap-
preparations left over from prior
| years.
Total Navy appropriations Of
s25. .S08 ,930,859 are provided for in
the present fiscal year. The Presi-
dent recommended cancellation of
s8,305 1853, ,l22 of this amount.
In addition, a further cut OF
S3,2l2, 2,42,131 would be applied to
contract authorizations for the cur
rent fiscal year.
Trimming ship construction will
allow saving of 81, ,047 1866, ,607, the
President said. And there will bs
savings of $1,372 ,183, 900 on MAIN
tenance and operation of ships and
navy yards, 81, ,404 ,300, 900 on avia-
tion and S2,550, ,451 900 on ordnance.

man went over the whole field of
postwar Navy policies in confer
ence with top executive and legis-
lative chiefs. Participants said no
decisions were reached.

Occupation Of Japan

'Kid-GIove' Policy
Ey the Associated press.


TOKYO, Sept. 14.-The occu-
patton OF Japan may be washed
up" within a year, 1t. Gen. Rob-
ert L. Eichelberger predicted
today, while Gen. Macarthur
promised there would be nc
kid glove" enforcement of sur
render terms and ordered COM
plete suspension of all operations
of the Domei news agency.
Gen. Eichelperger expressed his
views at a press conference in his
9Th Army headquarters, where he
observed tina. when an insulaI
country loses its land, sea and all
power and is without raw mate
rials and has big countries sitting
on its flanks, it can't be much OF
a threat"
IF the Japs continue acting as
they are noW," he said in answer
to question, within a year this
thing should be washed up"
Will Use 100000 Troops.
He estimated the occupation
would necessitate the use of about
100000 American troops, but dis
closed that orders for some units
notably railroad troops and engineer
shore parties, already had been can
celed when it was discovered that
Japanese installations were in bet
ter shape than expected.
At present the 9th Army has be-
tween 10000 and 100000 men in
Japan and more are en- route, Gen.
Eichelberger said. Continued study
of specialized needs, he added, may
result in additional cancellations be-
fore all scheduled occupation forces
arrive.
Gen. Eichelberger said Maj. Gen.
Oscar w. Griswold would establish
occupation headquarters for the
14th Corps at Sendaf today and that
full division would follow him
by train tomorrow.
The 9th Division, he said, would
occupy Nagato in Northern Honshu,
within a few days.
Macarthur Replies to Critics.
The 9Th Corps, commanded by
Maj. Gen. Charles Ryder, will oc-
cupy Hokkaido Island, northernmosi
of the japanese group, on Septem-
ber 27, establishing headquarters at
Sopporo.
Gen. Macarthur, in his statement
replying to critics of occupation
policies thus far pursued, noted the
impatience displayed at the so.

necessary, however, and added:

Ten Million Must Pay Second

Washington, June S-AP-About

You're one OF them II, by last
March 10, you filed a declaration Of
estimated tax for this year and
then paid the first installment.
II you're in this group, you prob
ably have received a bill from the

full balance, just pay the install.

The financial position OF some
people may have changed since

March 15. They may have married.
had a new baby, or acquired other
new dependents.
They could, II they wished, make
an amended declaration by June
Is. This would mean a change in
their payments.
But there's not much reason why
they should. They can wait till next
March l5-when they make a final
return on 1915 income-to file an
amended declaration. They can
straighten out their tax change
then.
But-suppose your business con
dition has changed drastically
Suppose you're an independent war
contractor who has had a number
OF contracts cancelled since March
Is.
In that case il would be TO your
interest to file an amended declara-
ton by June Is. There'd be a lot
more money involved than in a sim
pie increase in the number of de.
pendents.
This year-in order to get as
many people as possible on a pay
as-you-go basis-full taxes are be-
ing withheld on all salaries and
wages up to $4,000.

don't have to pay any installments
