One set of prices which have been
high in New York long before those
of food advanced are those charged
for movies. Ever since the middle OF
the war period, cinema houses along
Broadway have been charging up
to two dollars for first-run movies :
with the result that many people
wait until the films come to tneir
neighborhood houses. AS an example
of how movie prices have advanced
when "Gone With The Wind" first
nlaved in New York, the top admls-
sion price for it was Sl.25. Now MAJ
If is back for the third time, the
price is $3.50.
In financial circles here there is
a good deal of talk about a new
hook entitled Free Gold" by Arnold
HOFFMAN. 1t is an interesting story
of gold mining in Canada and old
timers say that if such a book had
been written years ago instead OF
now, it would have saved many a
nrosnector's time = and maybe NE.
II is the story of two young Har-
ward men and their early struggles
to conquer the Canadian wilderness

COP TAKES CREDIT
FOR HUGE SAVING.
Democratic. Solons DEGREES
Economy As Slip
Shod'

WASHINGTON, July 20 up Il
Rep. Taber (R-NY) claimed today
the treasure is 81, 423, 600, 900 "bet-
ter off because of budget cuts by
the Republican : dominated Con-
gress, but Rep. Cannon D-Mo.)
called this estimate far too high.
Taber is chairman At the House
Appropriations committee: Can
non had that post when Democrats
were in control.
While they argued in the House,
Senator Lucus D-Ill) told the SEN
ate that the Republicans in con-
gress have employed "slip-shod
and carefree methods in vain at
tempts to reduce the Presidents
budget"
Taber claimed a ''direct saving"
of 81, 806, 900, 600 in addition to ST.
GIT, 900, 900 in cancellations and re-
coveries he said were not con-
templated by President Truman
when he submitted his $37, 500, 000,-
900 spending estimate for the year
which begun July /.
The net result, Taber said, is
that the treasury is 81, 1923, 900, 5000
"better off than if we had follow
led the estimates submitted by the
president of the United States"
There are some other recoveries
that will swell the total later, Tab
ier added.
Had not the Senate boosted
funds voted by the House, he de-
clared aggregate savings would
have been over a billion more"
Cannon gave the COP credit for
81, 2o7, 900, 10000 sat the very out
side.'
He recalled that the House. I'm
der Republican control, voted
learly this year to cut Federal
spending by Sc, 900, 900, 900 for the
fiscal year. The Senate cut that
goal to $500, 600, 900 and there
has been no compromise objective.
!, I'm view of all the fanfare at
the start of the session." Cannon
declared in a needing voice.
"They have made a sorry record.
Never have we witnessed such a
gap between promise and perform
ance."
Cannon based his figures on
total budget estimates which he
said amounted to $37, 1886, 541, 1857.
IT knew that we would not attain
the savings that I would like to
save" Taber asserted, stating that
Democrats had refused to join in
an economy drive.
Lucas asserted that the COP
leadership is claiming credit for
81, IS, 1853, 1854 in ''phony reductions"
in the budget.
