Truman Hushes Up Budget Talk
(BY Elton C. FaY)

WASHINGTON, (4O - On in- structions from the White House, the armed forces have ordered all personnel to stop talking about the effect of the proposed budget on the military.
 The fact that President Truman has stepped in to shut off such talk was disclosed today when the air force issued a statement which said:
 "The air force is circulating to all air force personnel the letter from President Truman which di- rected that extreme caution be ex- ercised in statements on items which may be included in the bud get and legislative programs"
 It was learned the secretaries of the army and navy have sent sim liar instructions to personnel un- der them.
 The White House move came in the wake of publication of views by the individual services on the effect of the Presidents proposed S15, 100000 ceiling for the mil itary b udget.

Govt Spending Can Lead To U. s. Specialization
tBY H. C. Johnson)

NEW YORK, (P)-The nations industrial leaders were warned to- day that government spending and control of economy may bring un- employment, insolvency, socialism and even insurrection to the United States.
 Two businessmen told the 55rd annual Congress of American h. duStry, sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers, that what they termed federal interfer- ence in the national economy had left the country deep in political uncertainty.
 At the same session of the NAM'S first national assembly since the Democratic election vic tory last month, Rep. Brown R.- Ohio) hinted that the postoffice department is one of the chief tar gets of the bipartisan commission now studying government reorgan- ization.
 The three-day NAM meeting ends tonight when secretary of commerce Sawyer will speak. . Lane D. Webber, Los Angeles utility official, said at yesterday mornings session that continued federal spending on the present scale, mot to mention proposed in creaSes, will surely produce in solvency, destruction of private enterprise, confusion and insur- rection-resulting in some form of socialism"
 If only the people could know our country is infested with sig able elements who strive to de- grade us into socialism by govern ment spending, taxation and infla- tion-the inseparable trinity ot tragedy" said Webber, who is vice president of the Southern California Edison company. ! Joseph MOrrel Dodge of Detroit, former president of the American Bankers association, said that be- cause of increased government control over the American econ Omy, the country is plagded by 6 shortage of risk capital.
 Risk capital is lacking, Dodge said, because of a declining say ings rate, an artificcally low in- terest rate and the absence of new equity capital.
