The state delegates were chosen
on the basis of state elections

Man Who PHoted Streetcors of 1890 Tells
|Of Old Time Troubles, Peril of Days Work

The motormen and conductors
on today's Capital Transit Co.
street cars don't know how good
they have it.
That's the word from Montgom-
cry Davis, a veteran of 81 years
in Washington's transit develop
ment, who was talking about the
old days at an exhibit of an 1890
vintage streetcar on display in the
1400 block of F street NV. in OBJ
servance Of Transit !, Progress
Day"
Mr.. Davis took a reporter
through the old car, similar to-
those which were drawn by horses
or underground cable before the
days of electrification. In those
days the cars paths were illumi-
mated by huge oil lamps. which
had to be hauled inside for light
ing. And the drivers stood on
front platforms. unprotected by
any covering.
Job For Real Men.
"The drivers had to be men,
real hardy men-for that work."
Mr.. Davis recalled. One Of the
reasons was the weather.
I'VE had one driver who used
to really catch it in bad weather"
he said. His whiskers would get
wet and then freeze so that he
couldn't turn his head. He'd have
to turn his whole body. And when
he would take OF his coat, he
could stand it up anywhere by
ITSELF"
Then, after electrification. there
was the matter of switching the
huge electric lamp from the front
to the back of the car at the end
of each run. More likely than
not, if it was raining, the conduc-
tor got a jolt of electricity as soon
as he touched the light cable.
Mr.. Davis pet peeve was the

the old City and Suburban line

Invariably, while he was check

called, countless times a day.

were destroyed by fire. I felt
sorry for the company. but ! sure
was glad to see those cars CO."

Navy Ready 10 She|ve
More Warships With
81 Fund Cut Expected
BY the Associated Press

The Navy, with an ear to pre-
dictions Of broad-scale reductions
in military spending in the next
fiscal year, already is getting
ready to put more warships on
the shelf.
Starting later this month, the
Navy will begin to take ships out
of the active fleet and tie them
up.
The program will continue
throughout the rest of this year
and in the first half of 1850. The
idea is that by the time the Navy
starts operating with funds for
the 1851 fiscal year. starting next
July /, it will be pared down to
fit the present guess of Navy
officials about the budgets size.
Budget Estimate Due Sept. Is.
To the laid-up fleet, along with
several carriers, will 60 other ships
that support modern-day carrier
task .forceS-including destroyers
and probably some cruisers.
The Defense Department is
scheduled to send the preliminary
estimate of fiscal 1851 money
needs to the Budget Bureau on
September Is.
The overall budget for the
Army. Navy and Air Force is ex-
pected to be between $13, 400, ,000,-
900 and $13. .700, 900, 900.
This would be at least one and
a half billion dollars less than the
SIS, 5,283, 100000 budget for the
fiscal year of 1949 which ended
June 80.
1t could be at least one billion
dollars under the fiscal 1850 mill
tary budget still pending in Con-
gress.
Budget Outlined to Truman.
Secretary of Defense johnson,
who has already whetted billion
dollar operating economy ak, is
understood to have outlined the
1851 proposed budget to President
Truman last month.
Almost as soon as the 1851
budget is on it's way to the Budget
Bureau work begins on the 1852
fiscal budget.
Last July Gen. Bradley, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
in speaking to the Army's COM
mand and General Staff College.
spoke of a "hypotheticap budget
of $l2, ,000, 100000 for 1852.
The House and Senate have yet
to get together on the, fiscal 1850
budget. The House passed a
budget for SIS $500. 100000 and the
Senate approved one for $14,700,-
900, 900. The difference will have
to be reconciled in conference.

the Philippines.

munists in China with President
Truman to spend the money where
he sees fit without making any
report to Congress.
The bill is in the form Of an
authorization. Funds must be pro-
vided later by appropriation.
Debate Follows Trade Bill.
Chairman Connally said leaders
have promised to start the floor
debate as soon as the Senate
passes the Reciprocal Trade Ex-
tension Act, probably next week.
II am satisfied with the final
language" said Senator Know
land in reference to China. while
not as large as I would have liked,
it definitely does change the trend
which has existed in our policy.
It shows there is recognition
of the Importance of China in the
overall global picture. I will not
file q minority report"
The cutting of the funds, which
were called a bulwark against the
spread of communism, was con-
fined to the amount for Western
Europe. The president asked for
81, ,160, ,990. 900 for that area. The
House cut it in half. The two
Senate committees last Friday
agreed on $1,000, 200. 900, OF which
only half would be in cash this
year and half in future contract
authority.
Tydings Sees Red Decision.
Meanwhile, Chairman Tydings
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee said in a radio inter-
view yesterday that there are
some signs of dissension within
Communist ranks in China.
The Chinese people are finding
out, Senator Tydings said, that
there isn't much difference in the
amount of food they get or in
general conditions when the Com
munists take over from the Ma
tionalists.
He took occasion to deny. too.
that Nationalist armies generally
have surrendered and turned over
their arms to the Communists.
