6. 0. P. Senators Hint
At 3-BiIIion Limit on
Truman Budget CUT
by me Associated Press

Republican Senators indicated
today that $4,000, 100000 may be
the top amount they are willing
TO promise to cut out OF Presi-
dent Truman's $50, 1856, 000, 900
budget.
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee called
that GROUP into session this morn
ing to consider the question.
Senator Taft has said he thinks
$1,000 ,000, 900 can be cut of pro-
posed Government expenditures for
the fiscal year beginning July l..
But Chairman Bridges of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee Is
represented by friends as reluctant
to 60 along with pledge OF even
that amount because he fears Con-
gress may not be able to hold to
such a goal when the time comes
for voting the money.
Taber Asked Deep Cut.
Some House leaders, including
Chairman Taber of the Appropria-
lions Committee, have called for a
5000 ,000, 900 slash. Senator Bridges.
however, Is said to feel this total
could be reached only by chopping
deeply into funds proposed for the
European Recovery Program.
MIR. Taber headed the Senate
House Legislative Budget Commit
tee last year when the Senate and
House failed to compromise differ
ences over how much to try to trim
Mr.. Truman's spending estimates.
The committee, created by the
1916 Congressional Reorganization
Act, named Senator Bridges to the
craftsmanship yesterday.
Although he refused immediate
comment on his stand, the New
Hampshire Senator told a reporter
that if the joint committee arrives
at any figure before the present
deadline Of February IS 1t Will have
to be largely guess.
Bridges Urges Change in Law.
Senator Bridges said he hopes
that Congress will agree later to a
revision of the Reorganization Act
under which a small committee
could be set up for a continuing
study of budget needs instead OF the
102-member group now designated
to do this job. Then, ne added we
,~.iot,t cot souewhere"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Truman's request
that Congress vote an extra ST.
320.174,315 for Government opera
ton this year prompted Mr.. Taber
to comment:
"It has some of the earmarks OF
inability to understand f1fth-graoe
arithmetic"
The President sent his requests to
Congress late yesterday. They IN
clude funds for numerous agencies,
but the bulk of the total is ear
marked for Government relief in
Army occupied areas, for tax re-
funds and for the Post Once De-
partment.
Mr.. Taber was particularly critical
Of the Presidents request for $780,
o00, 900 more for tax refunds for the
current year ending June 80. That
Is exactly the amount Congress
Knocked from MIR. Truman's original
request last year.
"It's ridiculous estimate" Mr..
Taber told newsmen. Treasury De-
partment figures as of January 20
show that up to that date only
s465, 467 900 of the $1,000, 000, 900 we
appropriated had been used"
As for a request for 10000, 900
for Army relief activities in &C.
cupied countries, Mr.. Taber said he
doubts whether "the stuff is there
even if we gave them the money to
buy it."
Congress last year voted $340. 000,-
900 for Army relief, cutting $780,
100000. from the Presidents re-

Accomplish Rare Baseball Feat-ReminisCent of
 Former Years
By JOE REICHLER

Joe McCarthys blazing Boston Red Sox were riding hard on the American League today after achiev- i ing a baseball feat almost equal to that of the Boston Braves wonder team of 1914.
 The unstoppable Red Sox yester- day climaxed sensational seven- week surge from dismal seventh to first place-giving Boston teams the leadership in both Major Leagues.
 The Sox wrested the No. berth from the Philadelphia Athletics by defeating the Cleveland Indians, B. 10, for their 12th straight victory. Meanwhile, the Athletics divided a
 doubleheader with the Detroit IT. gers.
 The rise from 10 games lack to
 the top was reminiscent of George Stallngs' miracle Braves of 34 years ago who jumped from the cellar on
 July 4 to capture the National League flag
 On June 2, the Red Sox were wal lowing in seventh place, having
 won only Is games while losing 24. During the 53-day span, Boston has won 39 and lost 12 for a .765
 percentage. McCarthy's men have captured 18 of their last 2l and Is in a 16-game home stand Joe Dobson, veteran curyeballing
 righthander, scattered six hits yes-
 terday to chalk up his 18th triumph, four over the Indians. It was his fourth shutout and 14th complete game.
 Fred Hutchinson eased the As out of the lead by pitching the Tigers to a second game 10-2 triumph over Philadelphia and split in their , double -header. Joe Coleman blanked
 the Tigers, 40, in the opener. Coleman drove home two runs
 with bases loaded single to high i light the four-run fourth inning.
 Joe DiMaggio cracked out two more home runs, double and three singles in seven times at bat to 1 lead the New York Yankees to a double triumph over the Chicago { White Sox 5-3 and 7-3. Both of Joe's homers, his 22nd and 23rd, came in the second game.
 Washington and the St. Louis
 Browns divided a double header, the Senators winning the first game
 5-1, and the Browns taking the sec- | ond, GA in II innings.
 The pace-setting Boston Braves
 retained their five-game margin ir
 the National League by gaining 8 split in their twin bill with the
 Cardinals in St. Louis. The Cards
 won the opener 6-5 and led 6-4
 after eight innings of the nightcap
 but ninth inning home runs by Bot
 Elliott and Jeff Heath, the former
 with two on, gave the Braves an B. 6 victory.
 Danny Murtaugh's granyl slam
 home run in the eighth inning gave Pittsburgh Pirates "A second game victory and a split in their double
 header with the second place

 the opener 6-5.

State Bird Chairman
Lectures At Meeting
Of Local Garden Club

An outstanding meeting of the
Laurel Garden club Wednesday,
June %, at the home of Mrs. C.
c.. Ferguson, featured Miss Mar
guerite Boerner of Billings, state
chairman of birds, as guest speaker.
The special meeting, with Mrs. R.
C. Colson presiding, had Mrs. R. L..
Baker as hostess. Roll call was
answered with bird poems.
Miss Boerner began by saying
she took up the study of bird life
when a child and continued it by
reading and observation, and be-
lieves that a live hobby is better
than an inanimate one.
The best time to observe the
birds is in winter and in their ma
tural habitat, if possible, for some
prefer the mountains, some the
woods along rivers, ETC., to make
their homes. Dress in neutral col
ors, as bright hues to disturb
them. Watch and listen closely. Lo-
cally, Miss Boerner said, students
of bird lore may learn to distinguish
the different varieties by comparing
them with the robin, noting the
shape of the head, the bill, color
and call note. Consult a bird book
and classify each new one recogniz-
ed. Keep memoranda for reference.
During her talk the speaker NAM
ed and described many birds, both
migratory and permanent residents,
some of which are helpful to the
farmer by living on the insects
which otherwise would destroy the
crops. A little known fact about
their eating habits is that they pre-
fer wild fruit to the orchard and
variety, when they can get
it.
Announcement of date and place
Of the next meeting of the club is
to be made later.
Lunch was served by the hostess
