adequate financial expense arrange
mefats." Carroll Reece, COP ma
tional chairman, said he had mo
doubt Chicago would raise the
money" for the convention, which
he estimated at about $100, 600.
/. In event Chicago does not make
the necessary arrangements, the
slbcommittee's report said Phila-
delphia was the second choice. G,
Mason Owlett, national committee
man from Pennsylvania, told the
group Philadelphia was prepared to
offer a certified check for 500, ,000

Chicago's bid was made by Werner
w. Schroeder, Illinois national COM
mitteeman. He said civic leaders
would organize a nonpartisan COM
mittee to bring both the Republican
and Democratic 1948 presidential
nominating conventions to Chicago.

parties were held in Chicago in 1914
and also in 1882. The Democrats
also met here In 1910.

The Government has q good
chance to finish the 1e47 nscal
year with q balanced budget
the first since 1880.
And II the budget Is not balanced
on June 30, a- number OF Govern
ment analysts agreed today, it will
come closer than at any time since
1881. when the deficit was $462 ,000,- :
600. s3s.'
Since then. annual spending has
exceeded income by sums ranging
as high as $57 400, ,O00, 900.
The analysts told . reporter
President Truman's January esti.

much too high because:

business and income payments to
individuals, give promise Of topping

by q billion dollars or more.
2. Spending is proceeding at q
rate far under the ~, ,523, 900 ,OOO
JANUARY eSGlmaIeS and may under
cut that figure by well over bill
lion.
Thus, most Government sstatisti-
clans now, think, fiscal l947 even
may end with q small surplus.
They say the prospect will not be
changed materially by need of aid
for Greece. The $3.50 .OO0, 900 men,
toned for that purpose wouldn't
be enough to upset the picture
greatly and not all Of it could be
spent by June 20 anyway.
With less than four months to 60
on this fiscal year, the Government
has received 81 900 .000, 900 more thar

LAKE SUCCESS. N. r. Mar.
1.-The main issues in the
American plan for world atomic
control were back today where
they started nine months ago,
with Russia and the United
States still locked In disagree
ment.
The problem was returned to the
United Nations Atomic Energy Com
mission last night by the Security
Council, which asked the commits
sion to continue searching all phasse
OF the question and, sin due course y
begin drafting ultimate proposals. !"
These proposals would have to
bridge the vital areas of disagree
ment between the two great powers
which became apparent almost as
soon as Bernard M. ,Baruch laid the
American no-yeto plan before the
commission last June II.
The atomic problem was referred
back to the commission when, with
a rare display of unanimity un-
marred even by abstentions, the
Council decided that there had been
no agreement between Russia and
the majority backed United States
on how to universalize atomic energy
without menacing peace.
The Council returned the progress
report" the commission had ap-
proved last December by a 1910 vote,
with Russia and Poland abstaining,
and with 1t sent a record of the
Councils debates on atomics and an
added request for a second interim
report before the General Assembly
meets in New York next September.
Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gro
myko, who holds the Atomic Com
mission Craftsmanship for the cur
rent month under alphabetic rota-
ton of the gavel among the II
member nations, said he was unde-
cided when he would call formal
meeting to receive the Councils
resolution.
The United States has a new
deputy delegate, Frederick Osborn
OF New York, anthropologist and
former Army major general, ready
for the renewal of the atomic dis
cuSSionS in the commission.

fore last nights party conference.

There was no time for q decision"
Senator Millikin explained. I'VE

The Senate Banking Committee
IS awaiting action by q subcommit.
tee ordered to work on a new bill.
The subcommittee's first draft, writ
ten by its Republican members, was
rejected by the whole COMMITTEES

against it.
The Banking Committee was re.
ported to have indicated 1t Is un.
likely to accept bill carrying q fiat

for such feature. It was q prin-
cipal point Of the rejected subcom-
mittee bill. Increases Of 10 and is

President Truman's estimate o1
Army spending for the year was

months the Army used up 1850

month. It would have to spend
$780, 900 900 each of the next four
months to equal the full 1947 esti-

The overall spending estimate OF

the assumption that Congress would
allow nearly $4,000, ,000, 900 in "de-
