cars all over town, right from under your
noses. And they're getting away with it!
All you have to do is memorize the license
numbers of the stolen cars and keep sharp
lookout. Why some of you guys can't even
remember the number of your own police

Three Feared Dead In1Cas Filled BIG. Gold Mine

PITNEER, B. C. (P)-A 5000 foot-long tunnel, filled with dead ly methane gas, yesterday held the fate of three miners trapped 500 feet below ground in the Pacific Great Eastern mine about two miles south of this mountainous British Columbia gold mining cen ter.
 Although mine officials held little hope that the entombed men would be found alive, a. specially trained, four-man rescue squad continued efforts to force its way through the narrow, fume-filled tunnel in daring bid to bring the men to the surface.
 The mine is located in the Bridge River district about l20 miles north of Vancouver.
 Twice Monday night the poison ous gas forced the oxygen-equip- ped rescue squad, flown to the scene from the Nanaimo, B. C., coal fields on Vancouver Island, to the surface after they had worked their way 2,20O feet along the five by seven foot tunnel.

Chairman of RIGA, 81, Passes On 's't

RYE, N. Y., R)-Lt. Gen. James G. Harbord, retired, 8l, an honor ary chairman of the board of Ra- dio Corporation of America, died today at his home here.
 Gen. Harbord had been i'll only a short time.
 A native of Bloomington, H., Gen. Harbord rose from a private to general officer of the U. S.. army and became chief of staff of the first American expeditionary force in France under General John J. Pershing in World War l. He also served as deputy chief of staff of the army.
 Harbord had the unusual dis tinction of possessing the distin- guished service medals of both the U. s. army and the U. s. navy. When he retired from active serv- ice he became president of RIGA and seven years later was made chairman of the board.
 On July II he resigned as chair man and was succeeded by David Sarnoff, president of RIGA. Har- bord was made honorary chair man.

Truman Says U. Will Spend His Es- innate Despite Cuts
tBY Sterling F. Green)

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman said today federal spend ing this fiscal year will fall only half billion dollars short of his original estimate despite the Re- publican economy drive in Con- gress.
 But he forecast an historic S4,- 7OO,OO0,OOO budget surplus next June 30.
 MT. Truman gave the GOP-cOn- trolled Congress credit for cutting S1,52O, O,O0O,0OO from the cost of gov ernment.
 But the net result because of in tervening factors, he declared, will be total outlay of an even $37 OO,OOO,O0O instead of the $37 1928, 100000 he predicted last January before the Republican cost-cutters got down to work.
 Furthermore, in the customary mid-year budget review made public late today, MT. Truman served this double -barreled notice:
 First: This country's interna- tional program, perhaps including the Marshall plan for European recovery may run up costs and trim the record-breaking surplus.
The Nome nugget., 1947-08-20

In preparing the next budget, he said, administrators already have been instructed to hold their l949 budget requests below the l948 to- tal." Actual dollar limits have been imposed in some cases, he added.
 The mid-year budget review is designed to bring up 10 date the budge. message delivered to Con gresS at the start of each session. Tn January MT. Truman forecast outlays of $37,528, 100000 and in come of S37, ,OOO,OOO,OOO Instead, expenditures actually will be S37,- O00,000,000 and receipts will be S41 ,667 100000, he estimated.
 MT. Truman did not refer spe- officially to Republican claims of economies ranging up to S6,600,- 100000 proclaimed by Senator Bridges R.-N. H., as the total savings to taxpayers during the Congressional session which closed last month.
 But he gave this version Of what he said happened:
 After the January budget esti- mate, there were new appropria- tions, additions of funds original ly intended for fiscal 1947, and a variety of other changes in federal accounts which raised the expen- allure total to S38,52O, OOO,OOO.

Taxes Must Stay High

Second: Taxes must stay high.
 The chief executive didn't use those words about taxes, but he said the surplus must be used to reduce the national debt and stand as a reserve against emergencies, whether at home or abroad"
 The government bases its high income estimate, MT. Truman said, on "a continuance of employment, prices and incomes close to their present levels throughout the fis- cal year" In other words, the ad ministration sees no serious busi- ness recession which might reduce tax collections before next June.
 Nevertheless the President dis closed that he has issued orders to all government agencies to squeeze their dollars.

Relief From Hot Weather Forecast For States
CBy The Associated Press

From nlSn up the nOCky IIlOuH- tain slope another cold front was sliding lazily eastward toward the hot and parched midwest Tuesday with possible crop-reviving gen eral rains.
 Its too early yet to say just how this cold push will act or how much rain it will bring" the Chicago weather bureau said, add ing that decided relief from the high 90 and 100 degree tempera- lures appeared certainty for most of the plains states within 48 hours.
 The forecaster said the cold air crossed into Montana and Idaho from Canada about midnight Mon day, and that it was expected to spread into the Dakotas, and into Minnesota and Nebraska by today.
 Within 48 hours, he added, the whole Great Lakes region should have temperatures at least Is de grees under yesterdays continued high readings.
 The accompanying rain, the bureau said, might turn out to be only scattered showers but il might also-just possibly - be { general drought for a con. siderable section of the north central and northern plains states
 Meanwhile, no relief was in sight for virtually all the remain der of the nation, sweltering again from a recurring hot blast that has spared generally only the At lantic and Pacific coast states.
 Throughout most of the region from the Appalachian to the Rocky Mountains, temperatures in the 90's or above appeared certain to be repeated today and tomor- row, the weather bureau said.
 Records Broken
 The time table of a narrow SlOW-mOVing cool wave into the northern midWestern states was the only cheering note from the Chicago weather bureau today as the current scorching blast headed for new records. q
 Each additional day of the pres ent high readings probably is bringing a new record for dura- tion or daily maximum tempera- lures at many points, the bureau said.
 While the cool front dragged eastward into western North Da- kota, northwestern South Dakota and northern Wyoming today, vir- utally all the rest of the nation from the eastern seaboard to the Rockies continued to swelter. Only scattered showers or light thunderstorms were in prospect for the Great Lakes area as corn and other crops continued to de- teriorate for lack of general soaking rain throughout the mid west.
 Minnesota was expected to feel the effects of the cooler air late today, but it would not reach Wis consin and northern Illinois until ! tomorrow, the forecaster said.
 With temperatures in the high sos generally except on the Paci- fife coast yesterday and in prospect for today, ice shortages were re-.

|By Truman Doctrine
BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, April Henry A.
Wallace, former Vice President and
cabinet member, told cheering
audience last night that sooner OF
later the Truman program Of un-
conditional aid to anti-Soviet gov
ernments Will unite the world against
America and divide America against
herself"
Declaring that "t'le President and
his Republican hackers are less con-
cerned with the need of the Greek
people for food than with the need
of the American Navy for OIL" Mr..
Wallace said that "the plan to con-
tain Communism is really secondary
to that push for oil.'
Mentioned for President.
The Madison Square Garden rally,
called a "crisis meeting by the
sponsor, the Progressive Citizens OF
America, drew a crowd estimated at
more than 10000 Shouts of WAL
lace for President" were heard from
the audience before Mr.. Wallace be-
gan speaking.
The former Secretary of Com
merce reiterated his argument that
"the Greek problem is a world prob
lem and must be settled by the
United Nations"
Under the Truman policy, as 1t
expands, Mr.. Wallace said, "our
banks will give dollars, our arsenals
will give weapons. When that Is
not enough, our people will be asked
to give their sons.
"We ask that the United Nations
face the problem of security not
piecemeal but on worldwide basis.
This means the Observation-Disclosures
of the Dardanelles, the Suez Canal
and the Panama Canal -"
Elliott Roosevelt Speaker.
Elliott Roosevelt was another
speaker. He called for "revitalizing
the Democratic Party before the
1948 election" as "the voice Of the
fighting progressives."
DR.. Harlow Shapley, director Of
Harvard College Observatory and a
Pea vice chairman, said anti-Com-
munist policies in Washington would
lead to the suppression of other
smearable minorities."
Other speakers were Norman Cor
win, radio producer, and the Pea
co-chairmen, 10 Davidson and
