Truman Will Issue
Statement Today on
Government BUDGET
Army ond Navy Press
Toward 1850, 900, 900
Reduction in Spending
BY the Associated Press

President Truman told his
news conference today that he
Twill issue a statement on the
Federal budget later in the day
He gave no indication of the
nature Of the statement, but 1t re-
portedly will be intended to clarity
the status of spending for civilian
public works, among other things.
The White House announcement
came while the Army and Navy
pressed toward a 81 ESQ, 900 900 econ
omy goal set by the President.
But Federal spending for civilian
public works appears headed a,
least 500, 900, 900 over the estab.
lished 5000, 600, 900 limit.
This prospect Is UNDERSIGNED by
a new administration decision to
provide an extra $25, 000, 900 for re-
clamation projects.
On the economy side:
The War Department, under Or
ders from Mr.. Truman to pare its
budget 81 ,0O0, 000, 900, disclosed plan.
for a substantial" cut in the num-
Der Of peacetime Army camps and
other posts.
Navy Orders Economies.
And the Navy reported that econ
omies 1t already has ordered will
save more than $6o0. 000, 900.
In his budget message August 8
Mr.. Truman instructed the Navy
to trim its $500 900 coo budget by
at least $3.50, 000, 900. He told the
Army then to hold its spending to
50, o0O, 600. 900.
In the case OF both services, the
revised limits do not include ex-
penditures for terminal lsaye pay
Even while the War Department
was unwilling its economy plans
of1cials reported that the Army Is
running steadily into the red In
feeding and governing occupied
areas in Europe, Japan and Korea
They predicted privately that
Congress probably will be asked to
increase the $425, 000, 900 appropri-
ated for this program.
High Outlays on Occupation.
OUTLAWS thus far, 1t was said, have
tended to bear out the Army's origi-
nal estimate that occupation costs
would run $750,000, 900 this fiscal
year.
The Navy withheld specific infor-
nation on its economy program, but
indicated it expects a big saving
through deferring construction work
on new bases.
In authorizing the Interior De-
partment to spend an additional
$25, 0O0, 600 on dams, irrigation and
land reclamation projects, Budget
Director James E. Webb said last
night that he and Reconversion Dt-

Ceilings on Cosmetics
And Lumber Products
Are Removed by 0pA
Long List includes Drug
Sundries;; Soop Price
Controls Retained
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

OPA today wiped out price
controls on long list of non
food items ranging from CO.'S
metics to lumber products as a
followup to yesterdays sweeping
action freeing all but a few food
items from price lids.
In addition to lumber products
and cosmetics, the agency ifteo
ceilings on such items as hot-watel
bottles, other drug sundries ano
paper product specialties. Soaps
however, continues under control.
OPA officials estimate that as a
result of yesterdays order, less than
3 per cent of the food the average
family buys remains under price
control.
Bakery Products Decontrolled.
The agency ended controls on
prices of meals in the Nations pub
lie eating places and on all other
foods and beverages except sugar
sirups and rice. Bread and bakery
products are included in the de-
control list.
All whisky and beer likewise was
freed from price control.
OPA sources conceded there
would be price advances in some
decontrolled items, but the various
industries involved predicted 9
leveling off of prices as supplies
begin to approach the demand.
There was still no indication from
OPA that it intended to give way
in such fields as rents, building
materials, clothing, automobiles ano
still-scarce household appliances.
However, Price Administrator
Porter has promised to make public
November / a list of other nonagri-
cultural commodities to be freed
from ceilings. Top agency officials
are working on this.
Few Foods Excepted.
OPA explained that since so many
food and feed items already had
been lifted, "it was not feasible OF
practicable to maintain price con-
trolls on the remaining few food
products except in a few cases where
special reasons exist for retaining
controls"
In the case of soap, sugar, strip
and rice, these commodities are
very scarce, and to lift controls now
would result in skyrocketing prices
for what little supplies are avail
able, it was pointed out.
In addition, sugar Is subject to
rationing, while rice is subject to
set-aside programs for overseas re-
quirements.
The move to wipe out most cell
ings began with President Truman's
decision 10 days ago to end controls
on livestock and meat. The Price
Decontrol Board has continued to
allow most grains, milk and dairy
products to continue uncontrolled
Accordingly, OPA said, any at
tempt to retain controls amid this
mixed pattern would produce Con
fusion"
Items Included in List.
Included in the freed food items
|are canned pineapple and pineapple
juice, breakfast cereals, canned fish,
|macaroni and spaghetti, candy and
|all raw and processed foods, both
domestic and imported.
The list Of nonfood items released
from price ceilings today includes:
Bone ash, lamp black, photo oil

Mr.. Attlee also attacked the Rus

Over 100000 people in Maryland
State and Baltimore City have receiv-
ed their annual Christmas Seals

William b. Matthews, Jr., Assistant
Executive Secretary of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association.
The Seal this year shows a lamp
lighter lighting his lamp against a
starry blue sky and is symbolic of TIE
returning hope of the world after the
dark years at war. The designer o.
the 1916 Seal is Lloyd Coe, former
teacher at Metropolitan Art School
New York, and at present an instrue-
tor at the Vesper George School OF
Art, Boston, who is we'll known as a
landscape artist and as an illustrator
Mr.. Coe drew the Seal from an idea
suggested by Mary Louise Estes, EX-
ecutive Secretary of the Duval Coun-
ty Tuberculosis Association in Flor
ida.
Christmas Seals have long been
sold in Maryland. The proceeds from
TIE sale are the sole support of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
This work is high-lighted by the state
wide mass chest x-ray program III
schools, industries and communities.
Free chest clinics are conducted
through the counties. A year rounu
health education program, with pos
ters, pamphlets and especially maze
health films is carried on in schools
and with community and civic organ
izations.
DR.. G. Candy Robinson, Executive
Secretary of the Maryland Tubercu
