Spider Is Modern
In War Methods

SYDNEY. Australia (P)- Aus
tralia has flying spider which
knows all about air attacks and is
past master at camouflage.
Actually, naturalists say. the
spider (Attus VOlans) does not
fly. but leaps and then glides to
it's destination when pouncing on
victums Skin flaps provide wings
for the gliding operation.
Camouflage is used when the
spider comforts it's body so that il
looks like one of the Australian
flies. When fly alights, the spider
leaps upon it and kills it for din
ner.

agree. But to attempt to pay of
debt without relieving the taxpayer
of at least q part Of his excessive
tax burden is wrong. 1t viii de-

Recalls Surplus Prediction.
Mr.. Hanes startled capital tax ex-
perts April 8 when he predicted in a
letter to the Finance Committee
that the Government would find it
self with surplus of 5000, ,000, 900
to 4,O00, ,000, 900 at the close Of the
current fiscal year.
He referred to his estimates today
and noted they varied sharply from
official estimates. He recalled that
in January the President predicted
a $500. 900 900 deficit by June 80;
that Secretary Of the Treasury Sny-
der was equally pessimistic, but has
gradually upped his figures" and on
Tuesday conceded" that q surplus
Of $1,250, ,00o, 900 was in prospect"
Arguing that the tax cut provided
in the House bill will not be infla-
tionary, Mr.. Hanes said:
It is true that people viii have
more to spend IL their taxes are cut.
On the other hand, the Government
will have less to spend by the same
amount. People will be
spending their own money, for a
change. instead of having the Gov
ernment spend it for them"
Indorses Proposed Cuts.
Indorsing proposed reductions in
the bill-ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent-Mr. Hanes said the measure
should be considered as one provid-
ing needed relief but not as a perm
anent revenue bill, which could be
worked out in a 'thorough-going re-
vision of our entire tax system"
In his April 9 letter, Mr.. Hanes
declared that if Congress went
through with contemplated spend
ing cuts, the Treasury would take in
from So, 500 900 600 to $11, 900, ,0O0, 600
more than it would spend in the 49,
month period ending June 80, 1948.
The House has approved a $6,000,-
100000 cut in President Truman's S
$37 SOC, ,000, 900 budget estimates, the
Senate a s4,5o0,000,000 reduction.

John w. Hanes, former Under

reduction and debt reduction If
Congress proceeds with its present
