changes, brought the amount up
$38, $40, ,000, 900.
The reduction Of 81 $50, 900, 900 at
tributed to congress placed 1t at
an even $4,000, ,000,0 900.
The President credited congress
with reaching the $3.50, 900, 600
figure this way:
It made total cuts Of $2,6sl, ,O0O,-
600, offset by increases Of $780,
OOO, 900. And since congress it.
self has recognized that some OF
its reductions, such as those for
tax refunds and the atomic energy
commission, will have to be re-
stored" it will have to cancel out
another 1882 2,O00,00O of the reduc-
tons.
Besides this, Mr.. Truman made
it clear additional requests for
funds to help other countries will
reach congress later on.
Still to be determined is the cost
of Secretary of State Marshalps
plan. 1t contemplates American
assistance after various Europeon
nations, now meeting in Paris,
have decided how much they can
help themselves.
Because of the uncertainties Of
the emergency situation over
SEAS" Mr.. Truman emphasized
"the need to maintain balanced
budget sufficient to meet emer-
gencies." But a reserve also is
imperative" he said, for unfore-
seen emergencies at home. These
he did not specify.
Present foreign aid programs
alone, Mr.. Truman estimated, will
cost $4,000, 10000 this year, OR
nearly IL per cent Of the budget.
Due to aid to Greece and Turkey
and heavier Withdrawals from the
British loan than were expected,
that is nearly $500, 600, 900 greater
than he counted on in January.
Emergencies OF any nature could
knife two Or three billions from
the prospective surplus and still
leave it the largest in history. The
$753, 1877, $50 in the fiscal year just
ended was the biggest SO far. The
last high before that was $685.
100000, in 1927.
In January, Mr.. Truman had
forecast this years surplus at
5000, 600, 900.
The President said major func-
tions of the government have been
affected in this manner by budget
adjustments in this years spend
ing:
National defense-Down $685.

Finance, commerce, industry -
slashed $129, 900, 900 to $297, 900, 900,

The president estimated last
January that appropriations -
which do not coincide with expen
ditures-would be $31, ,292, 900, ,0ol
for this fiscal year. Now he says
that present indications are thai
the final total of appropriations
and reappropriations will be about
5000, 900, 900 lower than I recon-
mend last January"
That is the net result he ex'
poets after counting in changes al
ready made or likely to be made
by congress and the executive end
of the government.
The president said that as soon
as the necessary basic legislation
becomes law, he will ask for $780,

lie works plus authority to enter
into contracts of $282, GOO, 900 for

priated later.

On the point of Gen. Lees desire
to return to the United States, the
War Department said that at the

believed that the Italian treaty of
peace might be signed during the
summer of 1947 which would elm
mate theater headquarters and thus
remove the necessity for senior

J. Paul Frizzelle of Snow Hill

fore the first of the year his de-
cision on the motion that attor-
neys for the caveator, M. S.
West of Ohio, be allowed "rea-
sonable fees" from the estate OF
the late James M. West.
He heard a motion on the
matter this week in Snow Hill.
The motion was opposed by the
propounders, and regardless OF
the way it is ruled by the Sd
perior court jurist, the question
will likely go to the State Su-
prene court.
M. S. West, an only son of the
late president of the Seashore

to break the will, which left hir1

at around $1,500,0OO. Most of the

The 1,475 lodges of Elkdom,
representing some 100000 mem
bers, have a dopted for the com
ing year an aggressive plan te
sponsor and assist financially
the promotion of the Boy Scout
program, Senior Scouting anc
Cub Scouting, especially in less
privileged districts and neigh
borhoods, according to an an,
nouncement received by H. L.
Mcpherson, Exalted Ruler Of
Wilmington Lodge No. 532
rom Lafayette A. Lewis, Of Los
Angeles, newly elected Crane
Exalted Ruler of the B.P.O.E.
In this connection Colonel
Charles Spencer Hart, Past
Grand Exalted Ruler, has beer
appointed to represent the Elks
on the National Civic Relation
ships Committee of the Boy
Scouts of America.
On a special trip to New York
Lewis conferred with DR.. Elbert
X. Fretwell, chief Scout execu-
tive for the United States, Colo
mel Hart and Commander
thomas J. Keane, U.S.N.R.,
National Director of Civic Re
Iations of the Boy Scouts OF
America, and developed plans
for Elk participation.
"Aready we have 300 lodges
of Elks sponsoring Boy Scout
troops and Cub Packs" Lewis
declared, "but our goal is to
nave every one of our l,475
lodges cooperate with from one
tc three local Scout units. More
than one million boys - nearly
/, 100, ,OOO-reach twelve years of
age each year and 100000 OF
them indicate they want to be-
come Boy Scouts. Yet only 400
900 can be accepted because of
insufficient sponsorship. We
want to help provide Scouting
facilities for the 100000 left
overs and we mean to furnish
men.
"The $4,000 Boy Scout troops
for nearly two million Scout
members are not enough. We
have seen militant minorities
working for some revolution or
other; why not the militant mi
nority of Scout-tr aimed citizens
sponsored by Elks who stand
for our best institutions and tra-
ditions?"
Lewis quoted the figures of
Admiral Chester Nimitz that 40
per cent of his men had been
Boy Scouts and that so per cent
of his decorated heroes had
been Scouts.
The new Elks' chieftain has
arranged itineraries tctalllng
100000 miles of travel to subor-
dinate lodges this year. On his
visitations he plans to pledge
more vigorously than ever the
Elks' campaign against internal
enemies of America. The parti
cular targets of the Elks are
the Ku Klux Klan, Communism
Fascism and other subversive
elements.
In it's 79-year history the
B.P.O.E. has donated to worthy
causes more than $4,000, ,00O

reaching a total of $5,000,000
during the past year alone in
addition to other sums given by
local lodges. Lewis expects ba-
sic contributicas this year will
total more than $4,000, 1000.
Much of this will go for care of
war veterans in 152 hospitals in
Al states, for the benefit of Grip
pied children and toward col
lege scholarships to outstanding
