Drastic restrictions on the
Governments liberal policies of
furnishing free medical and
dental treatment for World War
II veterans have been adopted
by the Veterans Administration
Beginning January /, the agency

prove that their ailments are due
to military service before they will

Under the present liberal pro-

the treatment merely on the basis
of a quick medical examination at

ailment stems from military serv-

The 1948 Community Chest

Six-Bi||ion Reduction
In Federal Budget
Proposed by NAM
$31, 900, ,000, 900 Total
Predicted to Allow
81, 200, ,ooo, 900 Tax Cut
By F'oneis P. Douglas
Stor Stoff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Dec. 4-The Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers today called for budget
of not more than $31 900, 900, 900
in the next fiscal year and as
serted this would be practical
with program of economy and
elimination of waste.
The organizations budget recon-
mendations were made public in
connection with its SD Congress
of American Industry at the Wal
dorf Astoria Hotel.
The organization estimates fiscal
1949 revenue at s41, 900 0OO, 900 would
provide margin of $4,000, 900 900
above the proposed budget. This
would permit the $1,000, 100000 tax
reduction which the NAM has
recommended. and leave 50 900, ,000,-
900 for debt retirement.
Revenue Increase Seen.
After the organization completed
its budget study unofficial estimates
of $45 900 ,00O, 900 in revenue for fiscal
1919 appeared, indicating larger
margin for tax reduction and debt
retirement, the NAM said.
The recommended budget figure
of $31 ,00O, 100000 compares with a
budget of $37 100000 for the
current fiscal year.
The NAM said it's budget estimates
for 1949 correspond reasonably well
with recommendation for 194S
made by either a House or Senate
subcommittee.
It allots $4,000, 900 900 for national
defense, a decrease it says is in line
with the trend toward a peacetime
military establishment. The amount
in the current budget is $19,4O0,-
000, 900.
Reduction for Veterans.
The sum of $500, 900, 900 is al
lotted to veterans services and bene-
fits, $1,000, 900, 900 less than in the
current budget. This is said to be
permissible by the number of vet
erans exhausting their privileges un-
der the CT bill and by Veterans Ad-
ministration reduction in costs as 1t
gains experience in dealing with its
problems.
The NAM budget includes $4,000
100000 for foreign relief, interna-
tional affairs and contingencies.

gram was presented by Don G.

'Schuman Uses Power
In New Strike Law
As Disorders Grow
Mob Seizes Post Office
At Cannes; Guards Beot
Back Throng at Nice
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The govern
ment, armed with a new and
drastic anti-strike law, made
some dents today in. the Com
munist-propagated strikes which
have virtually strangled French
economy, but confronted fresh
violence on the fashionable Ri
viera.
A mob seized the post office in
Cannes. Another throng was driven
back by rifle butts and truncheons
of mobile guards at the post Office in
Nice where the Central Labor Com
mittee called a general strike. "
The government was striving to
reopen struck mines. Rail traffic
leaving Paris reached 30 per cent
of normal and some commerce was
coming through the Atlantic ports.
Conditions along the Mediter-
ranean coast were so critical that
trains from Paris were proceeding
only as far as Lyon.
Premier Robert Schuman's cabi-
net considered raising salaries of
public employees and the Council Of
Ministers seemed ready to approve
raising minimum pay throughout
France, a focal issue in the strikes
led by the Communist dominated
General Confederation of Labor.
The National Assembly beat down
Communist opposition before dawn
and passed Mr.. Schuman's law re-
defining sabotage and increasing
penalties. The use of fraud, threats
or violence in starting, spreading
and prolonging strikes became en-
offense.
In Central and Northern France
the back k-to-work movement was
gaining. officials at Lille said only
1000 textile workers remained on
strike, compared to 125,000 a few
days ago.
A new syndicate of metal workers
was being formed in Paris, elimi-
mating the Communists. Several
automobile factories in the capital
called their employees back to work
tomorrow.
A mobile guard officer died in
Paris from injuries of last week
raising to % the number of deaths
since rioting and sabotage began
more than two weeks ago when 20
French unions struck, asking Is per
cent wage increases.
Mob Corners Police.
The guards went into action at
Nice after the mob at the post office
had cornered police in an upstairs
section of the building. Hospitals
admitted % persons injured in the
riot. Strikers twice before had oc-
cupied the Nice post Office, but
they gave way this time to tear gas
and rife blows. No shot was re-
ported fired.
Traffic virtually was stopped in
strike-bound Marseille. Strikers
controlled most roads. No ships
were being unloaded because ma
tional guards, called out to work
on the docks, were being held ir
readiness against an uprising
Paving blocks were being put back
in place after fights between strik-
ers and the police last night in
Central Marseille.
In Paris rock was thrown
through the front window of Com
munist headquarters. The Geneva
Paris Express was detained for three
hours when strikers detached the
engine and ran it into siding
near Bourg -en-Bresse. Another en-
CINE was hooked onto the train
without incident
The government was expected tt
use force and GUST pickets under q
provision of the new law which
