US. Budget
 Issue Taken Up byGOP
High Command Accuses Truman Of DoubIe-taIk

Washington, Aug. g. (UP)-The Republican high command today accused President Truman of try ing to hoodwink the public with political hocus- -pocus about bal anced budget.
 The COP. announced it was making congressional election campaign issue this fall of the Ad- miniStration'S failure to balance the budget, which has been out of whack since 1881.
 Word was spread by Rep. Clar- ence J. Brown of Ohio, COP. Ma tional committee campaign director.
 He said in a statement issued through Republican National Head quarters that the revised budget message issued by President Tru- man Saturday lis accepted in the spirit in which, presumably, it was given-as political issue in the 1946 elections"
 He also said MT. Truman revised budget is misleading either through the use of imagination or ingannation. Brown was not avail able for his definition of "Inganna- tion.' But research worker at COP. headquarters said it was all right to define 1t as deception" or misrepresentation.
 MT. Truman reported Saturday that Government income for the present fiscal year was running S8 100 100000 above his forecast Of last January, but that the Govern ment still would be some S1 900 100000 in the red for fiscal 1947- even though he has ordered execu- tive agencies to trim their budgets $2, 200 000,0o below authorized ex- penditures.
 The President said the budget would have shown a surplus for fiscal 1947 had it not been for pas sage of legislation not contemplated last January. He set a sub stantial budget surplus as a goal for fiscal 1948.
 Browns statement, setting the COP. theme for the coming con- gressional electiaon campaign, said:
 MT. Truman has talked about balance budgets before, and before him MT. Roosevelt talked about bal anced budgets for many long years but every result was the same more deficits and more debt.
 This time with a huge federal income of S35 to s39 billion and with the opportunity to cut down on wartime spending and payrolls MT. Truman is losing the most favorable opportunity ever pre- sented to balance the budget. Ii not now, when will he ever be able to balance the budget? A worried tax-oppressed, infation-plagued na ton wants to know
 Brown said MT Truman is prov

ing to be bigger peacetime spender than MT. Roosevelt; charged that the Democratic Con- gress has dismally failed in its most favorable opportunity for reliey- ing the oppressed and said the nation can expect from the Demo- cratS "only higher and higher taxes and more and more spending"
 Charges Misrepresentation
 Picking away at the President s revised budget, Brown charged that:
 l. MT. Truman's pretext of asking for drastic action to. hold down expenditures in federal agencies is merely pretty-pleaSe memo to those agencies to refrain from spend- ing money already appropriated to them.
 2. MT. Truman's election eve wave of economy tries to i'm ply that the budget is almost balanced this year
 3. MT. Truman further mis- leads" the nation in an ef- fort to show that tax collections : come close to paying for the lavish expenditure program-the highest peacetime budget in history"
 4. The Presidents message implies that the blame for his unbalanced budget lies with Congress and it's new spending laws"
 We remind MT. Truman" Brown said. that it is a Democratic Con- gress and he is the leader of the Democrat Party. We also remind him that many of the spending measures were recommended by him and that every one of them received his approval and sigma ture. More than that, the Congress actually appropriated SIS billion less than MT. Truman asked for.

intended that this work should be done here. The original plan was to tear the place down after it had completed it's original research job on the bomb.
 But in the process of doing this work, Clinton built up a trained staff. And it had the equipment to do the work of further research on atomic energy in it's first ex- perimental pile and hot lab" So today, instead of dismantling, it is expanding.
 Its force now numbers about 1900, 400 of whom are scientists and technical men.

Lewis Gets Full Power
To Push Demands Of
Hard Coal Miners
Won't Sign Any Contract
Without Welfare Fund,
UNIV Head Asserts
BY the Associated Pres,

HAzLETON, Pa, April 27.-
John L. Lewis departed for
Washington today armed with
full power to sound a strike call,
if necessary, to pursue demands
for higher pay, fewer working
hours and, principally, creation
of a health and welfare fund for
Pennsylvania's $4,000 anthracite
miners.
Authorizing the filing of 30-day
strike notice April 80, 450 delegates
at the close of three-day conven-
ton here yesterday listed eight con-
tract proposals but refrained at Mr..
Lewis behest from specifying exact
terms.
Hard coal demands patterned
after those of 1000 soft coal strik-
ers were highhghted by the hotly-
controversial health and welfare is
sues as Mr.. Lewis told the cheering
delegates from District l, 7, 9:
II have no expectation of affiXing
my name to any contract either for
anthracite or bituminous coal
miners that does not provide for the
health, welfare and safety of each
of the men,"
Talks to Start May 10.
The AFL United Mine Workers
hard coal agreement expires May 81.
Mr. Lewis and Secretary Treasurer
Thomas Kennedy signed letters yes
terday notifying Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach of the miners inten-
tions to leave their jobs. Negotia-
tions with the operators meanwhile
will start May 10, probably at New
York.
Hard coal miners now receive
$3.50 daily for seven-hour, FIVE
day work week. Time-and-half is
paid for overtime for the sixth day
of work, crossing them S54.54 for
week.
1.-THE miner workers of this coun-
try" Mr.. Lewis said, must be dealt
with honestly, justly and humanely
as the price to continue the produc-
ton OF coal. Your economy is being
stagnated because of the iron con-
troll of financial interests of this
Nation and will bring distress to the
American people"
Gets TumuItuous Response.
Turning to health and welfare
issues, the UNIV leader warned the
delegates: You won't get it unless
you take it. Are you prepared to
take it? (Shouts of 'yes.'D Now, in
the year of 1916, is the time to take
it. I think the operators attitude
will be changed, but you'll change it.
Then, asking all to arise who
think we will change it," Mr..
Lewis received a tumultuous re-

Earlier, the conclave voted over

1-Cent Milk Price Rise
indicated as Strike
In Diaries Is Averted
Firms May Go to OPA
As Result of S7.20 Weekly
Raise Granted Workers

A 1-cent increase in the price
of milk to meet rising costs may
soon face District, Virginia and
Maryland residents, it was in
dicated today after a threatened
strike of Metropolitan Area
dairy employees was averted by
their unanimous acceptance of
compromise pay increase of $7.2O
a week.
Speculation on the possible penny
increase arose during a mass meet
ing of almost 1,700 area milk drivers
and dairy employees in Turner's
Arena last night, during which they
came to an agreement on wages
with 13 dairies.
Plea to OPA Indicated.
Eugene Hubbard, business agent
of Milk Drivers and Dairy En-
ployes' Union, Local 246, Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters
(AFL), who read a report on nego-
tiations which was accepted by the
union membership, said the milk
companies have indicated their in
tention of going to the Office of
Price Administration in an effort
to obtain the 1-cent ceiling increase
per quart in retail sales.
Such procedure would be in line
with the new White House wage
price policy whereby business firms
may appeal for an increase in sales
price if they can prove the cost OF
production has increased to the
point where they are losing money.
Through a standing vote, the
membership unanimously accepted
an average increase of Is cents an
hour, $7.20 week on a 48-hour
week, retroactive to March l, and
an every-other-day delivery system.
Asked 1872 Cent Boost.
The union had asked for a fiat
1812-cent increase per hour, or $7.4O
a week for a 40-hour week, with
the wage boosts affecting men in
all departments, and retroactive to
February l. Members also asked
for daily deliveries.
Prior to the acceptance, there was
some indication a strike vote would
be taken last night. A 3O-day strike
notice to the employers had ex-
pired Thursday. However, progress
during negotiations that went on
all day changed the outlook.
At meeting in the Washington
Hotel shortly before last nights
session, spokesmen for the dairies
offered fiat 81 wage increase for
the 48-hour week with March
retroactivity. A little later the
