Socialists Score 2-1

 Loses in Catholic
 RhineIand Area

Frankfurt, Jan. p. (UP)-A final tally on Germany's first free cleo tions since 1883 revealed that the left wing Social Democratic party scored three -to-two popular vic- tory over the rightist Christian Democrats in the heavily Catholic Rhineland.

 The social Democrats came back strongly in the late balloting, how ever, and finished up with a popular vote of l46.508 against 99,59l for their principal opponents. The Com munists trailed badly in third place with IS, eos votes, although they helo a three-to-one margin over the ex- treme right-wing Liberal Demo crats who tailed 5,662 votes.
 Neither the Communists nor Liberal Democrats entered complete states in all the electoral districts. The final count showed that 6s percent of the electorate voted m the counties where balloting wal scheduled.

Only in Capital
 Senators Vote to HaUe SeLUes CoLLared by Cops

that makes you feel @ little daZed, think how the Senate feels. Think how I feel trying to tell you about watching thing happen that couldn't happen:
 Day long the Senators had been worrying about revising their journal for last Wednesday. That was the subject on the docket; the gentle men from the South said it would be the subject indefinitely, unless the other gentlemen decided to drop consideration of the Fair Employ ment Practices Commission.
 Intend to Stop FEPC
 Sen. Richard B. Russell of Wind sor. Ga, said he was a Southerner and proud of it. He said he and his associates did not like the FEPC. He said they intended not nliottster against it, but to explain 1t.
 But one of you gentlemen from the South said he would speak on the subject and that his first speech would last 30 days" interrupted Sen. Wallace H. White, Jr., of Maine: T am looking at him, but I snail not name him"
 He looked at Sen. Theodore G. Bil- bo. Miss, who bnnked back at him. Senator Russell replied that FEPC was a measure so iniquitous It neeo- ed considerable explaining. He said he. himself, wanted to make speech about it, but since the hour was late, he'd prefer to talk on the morrow. He moved that the Senate recess.
 A dozen gentlemen jumped up to make parliamentary enquiries, but Senator Russell yelped loudest: T suggest the absence of a quorum
 The clerk called the roll. There had to be 49 on the job and he could count only 46. No quorum.
 Lack Needed Number
 Sen. Joseph H. Ball of Minn., moved that Sergeant-at-Arms Wall Doxey be ordered to round up the missing ones and bring 'em in. The sarge, who used to be a Senator himself, started out. Then he turned on his heel.
 Senator Russell demanded a roll call vote on Balls motion. The Sem ators began to vote again. A few ot the absentee lawmakers strolled in, Whats up?" asked Sen. Scott W. Lucas of H., as he walked down the middle aisle.
 We're voting whether to bring 'em in here to vote on whether to quit voting" said Sen. Robert M. La- toilette, Jr., of Wis. That's what we're voting about"
 "Oh," said Senator Lucas. Then he voted, "aye." As I said at the begin- ming, there were 36 ayes. There were 9 nays. The clerk did some quick arithmetic. Thirty six plus 2 is 5S, or nine more than necessary, and what's all the shouting about?
 Quickly the Senate voted to recess itself.

Federal Debt Cut Is Simple
 BudgetaFy Trick
 Known iO TeIIerS

Washington, Jan. 22.-(UP)- How can the Government have a deficit and reduce the Federal budget at the same time?
 It's a neat budgetary trick, and here's how it's done:
 The Government expects to have a deficit of $4.3 billion in the l947 fiscal year. Expenditures for the year will exceed receipts by that amount.
 It also expects to reduce the debt by nearly $S billoin in the next IS months-from a high of S278.9 billion this month to $27l billion by June, l947.
 The answer is that the treasury is going to stop carrying so many billions of cash in the till.
 Right now the treasury has near ly $25 billion on hand. It expects to start fiscal 1947 this July with nearly SIP billion. But by the end of fiscal l947 it expects to draw down its cash to only a little more than $3 billion.
 Thus the spending of cash al- ready on hand, together with new receipts, will cover the deficit and permit the reduction in the debt to boot.
 During the war years, it was con- sidered necessary for the treasury to carry a high cash balance to provide a comfortable reserve against emergencies that might arise between the War Loan drives. Now, however, it is considered to be wise to reduce the amount of cash in the till.

ory committee to the War Depart ment during World War IT.
 It Is expected that Mir. Beck will base his talk on the successful safety program of the United States Rubber O., which over the past % years has been 5095 better than the average for the rubber industry and 65cs better than industry as @ whole. This past year, as in many previous years, United States Rub- Der company plants have captured majority of the rubber section awards in the National Safety con- test, winning all three awards for larger plants.
 The local U. s.

Department of Labor and National Safety council.
