Error Of Three Billions.
Decreases Cutback :
In War Expenditures
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ASS, LOO, 000, 900 error today trimmed
the first formal cutback in war
spending from heralded 81, 1865, 600 ;
900 to $4265, 100000 Involved were
funds originally intended for ship :
building. -
Neither the White House, which
had announced the larger figure
earlier in the week, nor the Budget
Bureau, which supplied all figures,
had an immediate explanation for.
the error.
It came to light late yesterday :
when the House passed and sent to :
the Senate legislation canceling 81 :
265 900 900 In Maritime Commission :
contract authorizations. Included =
was $500, 100000 that already had
been appropriated to the commits :

priated to permit the agency to

ommends $1,000, 000, 900 cut in ship
building funds" had added the two
figures.
After Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee ex--
planned the discrepancy, White
House spokesman said only that its
figures had been supplied by the
Budget Bureau, which had approved
the reduction.
| Budget Bureau officials, reluctant
to discuss the matter, confined their
comment to the observation that
the error is common one" in
interpreting authorizations" and
appropriations"

the first time in six years that
Congress has voted a cutback in
war spending. Mr.. Cannon said
this is only the beginning"
Called Historic Bill.

marked the end of the most savage
and destructive war in history" Mr..
Cannon told the House. This is an
historic bill"
But he warned members not to-
expect the war budget to be cut in
half as soon as Germany is beaten.
I'VE will take no step which will

according to his character as l
know it. Anyway, where would he
go?"
When asked why Hitler did not
make a last stand in the Berchtes-
gaden area, the marshal said:
The most menacing threat to
the Reich always has been bolshe-
vism. The Fuehrer, therefore, went
to the point of greatest danger,
namely, Berlin. The effect of that
fact on Berliners must not be un-
derestimated. He might have con-
Quoted Berlin's defense and the war
generally by radio and telephone
from Berchtesgaden, but he was a
brave man who never thought of his
own security"
Praises Hitler's Intuitions.
Hitler, he claimed, was a great
strategist, his intuitions were good"
One had a feeling throughout the
interview that in this buildup for
the Fuehrer Won Rundstedt was
deeply conscious that he was facing
enemy reporters before whom the
Hitler legend must be preserved.
Asked just when the war was lost,
Won Rundstedt made general
rather than a specific answer.
"1t is hard to fix the exact
moment, but generally it can be said
we were poor in material. Accord
ingly, three factors defeated us in
the west where I was in command
First, the unheard-of superiority OF
your air force which made all move
ment in daytime impossible. Second
the lack of motor fuel-oil and gas
so that the panzers and even the
remaining Luftwaffe were unable tc
move. Third, the systematic de-
struction Of all railway communica-
lions so that it was impossible tc
bring one single railway train across
the Rhine This made impossible
the reshuf1ing of troops and robbed
us Of all mobility.
Our production also was greatly
interfered with by loss of Silesia and
bombardments of Saxony as we'll as
by loss of the oil reserves Of Ro-
mania"
Defended All of Homeland.
But why did you defend the
western bank of the Rhine instead
of the eastern?" some one asked.
II was not in command at that
time" the marshal replied, but
from general military viewpoint,
one defends every inch of ones
homeland. You would not retreat
to the Rocky Mountains in the
event of invasion, but would defend
the East"
For similar reasons, Northern
Italy was defended so as to keep the
enemy from Germany and especially
to make the Allied airforces' flying
time and distance longer, he added.
There also were political considera-
tions involved, namely, to keep Mus
solini in line, he said.
Coming to the December offen-
sive In the so-called bulge, he ex-
planned "the purpose of the winter
offensive was to relieve by counter
attack the strong pressure of the
American and British forces in the
Aachen area and heading for the
Ruhr. Our objective was to throw
the Allied troops back again over
