VOTES SMALL CUT

ure principally with a view to
safeguarding the military esti-
mates. President Truman propos-

But Martin promptly issued a
statement authorized by the House
Republican Steering committee
declaring that the Sc, 1000, DOC, 900
cut which the House voted can be
made without endangering ma
tional defense Or security Or sac
rificing othe~ essential services of
government" The statement also
reemphasized a determination to
cut income taxes 20 per cent.
The Senate resolution bore a
of any surplus revenue to reduce
commitment to apply 81, 900. 900, 900
the national debt.
The House promised to apply
only an unspecified portion of
surplus revenues or the $3.50, 000.-
900, 900 public debt. Neither did
it vote. as the Senate did, to
turn all money received from tne
sale of surplus war goods into
debt reduction.
This latter provision, approved
by the Senate in adopting an
amendment by Senator Wherry
(R-Neb.), left the amount of debt
cutting in doubt. Wherry said he
intended these receipts to fall
within the $4,000, 900, 900 figure,

GARDNER RESIGNS
FROM AIR GROUP
Airport Authority Seized
ules Meet Today To
Consider Successor

A prediction made two weeks
ago that members of the Whining
ton-New Hanover airport authority
would resign in protest against the
county commissioners dormant re-
fusal to 60 along in the expansion
of the Bluethenthal airport was
partially fulfilled yesterday with
the resignation of Harry Gardner as
4 member Of the group.
Gardner, who is also a member
Of the county commissioners, Of
fered his resignation and it was
accepted by the board.
Two weeks ago a member OF
the air group, predicted that the

the commissioners refused to al
locate $25, 900 of a $50, 900 expan-
sion program.
Meanwhile, the airport authority
Is scheduled to meet this morning
at 10 o'clock presumably to elect a
successor to Gardner.
In submitting his resignation,
Gardner told a group that he was
rssigning because of the ridicule
he had received as a member OF
the authority.
Commissioner Louis Coleman was
the only member to oppose Gard
ner's resignation. He said that he
hated to see Gardner quit because
he is the "best man in New Han
over county for the job"
The commissioners yesterday
granted the local post of the Ameri-
can Legion permission to bring the
Peter Grant Hell Drivers to the
Legion Stadium for a tWo-day show

Robert Howe was the commander
from 1766 to 1774.
Both of these officers later be-
came famous during the Ameri-
can Revolution. Moore served as
a brigadier general and Howe saw
service as a major general.
Most of you will recall that dur
ing the American Revolution, the
fort there was burned by the Pa
triots. The British governor, who
had taken refuge aboard a cruiser
anchored near the mouth of the
river, was forced to confine his
protest to merely a few verbal
