HoIIeck Says Truman Plan
Will Cost II Billion YEARLY

for revenues for 1949 is $40, 700 000,-
600. 1t is apparent on every hand
that our economy is levelling off and
hardly anyone can be found who
will contend that revenues for 1850
will be greater than 1919.
so, we will take $40, zoe, 900 900
as the best present estimate for
revenues in 1850. In addition the
President has asked for 100000 900
in new taxes. Assuming that addi-
tional revenue is provided and that
the Presidents own figures present.
ed by him as recently as the cam
paign last fall on estimated revenue
for 1949 are correct, and will not
increase in 1850, revenues in 1850
will be $44.7OO,O0O,0OO.
Military Budget May Rise.
Nov, as to expenditures for 1850
apart from the addition asked in
the recent message 1t already has
been stated that the minimum for
national defense will be S15,000,000,-
000 Already there are signs that
this figure may be larger, but we
will let it stand at $l5,OOO,000, 900.
Then if We project into 1850 the
expenditures provided for 1949 by
the 80th Congress, an economy
minded Congress, we find that ex-
penditures in 1850 would be $45,-
l00,000,000. So. without any of the
additional expenditures asked for in
the Stated of the Union message,
deficit of several hundred million
dollars is already Indicated"
The first clash over Government
spending in the new Congress will
come within a few weeks, over the
question of whether to stick by, or
change, the budget ceiling law of
1916.
Included in the LaFollette- Mon
roney Congressional Reorganization
Act, this law requires House and
Senate fiscal leaders to get together
and make an estimate by February
IS of the probable overall income
and outgo of the Government for
the next fiscal year.
Budget Law Change Sought.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee, who ia
vors the objective of the budget
ceiling law, but believes it is inef-
fective in its present form, said yes
terday steps would be taken early
in this session to suggest to the
House that budget-ceiling require
ment be suspended this year while
better approach to the problem is
being worked out.
The action probably will take the
form of a concurrent resolution,
which would require APPROVAL by the
Senate and House. Such a move is
almost certain to encounter oppo-
sition from hackers of the original
law, who believe the budget ceiling
requirement could be made to work
as a guide to Congress in determin-
ing how much it can authorize in
a given year.
The mere presentation of a sus-
pension resolution is likely to lead to
a general debate over how much of
the Truman program should be at
tempted this year.

multiple cuts and bruises.
Police said the streetcar operator,
Michael A. Hudock. %, of 1716
Twenty-first street NV, admitted
the car was moving 20 miles an
hour when it struck Mr.. Reynolds.
The fact that the. pedestrian was in
the cross-walk gave him the right
of-way under District law.

A witness told police Mr.. Reynolds
was knocked Is feet in front of the
car, which then caught him up on
the cow-catcher and pushed him

New Blizzard Sweeps
On West; California
To Freeze Again
ey the Associoted Press

Another severe blizzard last night
hoWled down on the Plains States
from Canada.
Weather observers sounded warm
ings of more snow and high winds
TO areas which still had not dug out
of the mountainous drifts piled up
by last Sundays blizzard.
The storm, with 25 to IS mile
winds, swept across Montana and
Wyoming yesterday and hit Colo
RADIO last night. Travelling at Is
miles an hour, the storm was ex-
pected to spread south all the way
to New Mexico. The Weather Blu
reau at Kansas City said it would
overspread all of Nebraska, Kansas
Oklahoma, and Northern and West
ern portions of Missouri.
Colder for Midwest.
At Chicago, the weather bureau
said the cold wave with blowing and
drifting snow would spread as far
East as Upper Michigan. Much
colder weather was forecast for the
entire Midwest.
California, which suffered an es-
timated 100000 loss to its fruit
and vegetable crops early last week,
was warned of a new cold wave
carrying the threat of even more
damage
The mass Of cold air sweeping
southwark from Alaska and Canada
would bring freezing weather to the
San Francisco Bay area and drop
below freezing in most other Sec
tions fthe State, weather observ-
ers said. The cold wave is expected
to extend to the Mexican Border.
Weather Forecaster E. C. Counts
warned at San Francisco that con-
ditions at least as severe as the cold
of last week would prevail from
tonight probably through Wednes-
day.
The cold air mass Is even colder
than it was last week." he reported
Traffic in much of North Dakota
was being tied up by the area S
second storm of the week. Temper
atures lowered around zero, winds
reached up to IS miles, and snow
was general.
Weather forecaSterS said the week
end storm probably would continue
with snow and high winds through
today and part of tomorrow. BY to-
morrow night, they said, the violence
of the storm should diminish, but
would be followed by extremely low
temperatures.
40 Inches of Snow.
Even as the new storm battered
its way southwark, the Plains region
was attempting to shake off COM
pletely the near paralysis it suf-
fered for four days when the previ-
GUS blizzard halted rail, air and
highway travel and claimed a total
OF 20 lives. Snow on the ground
is 40 inches deep.
Main highways which have been
blocked for days were open again.
Highway department officials feared
the new storm might seal the roads
again. Rail travel again was pro-
ceeding east and west, although one
line northward out of Colorado
through Wyoming still was blocked.
No accurate estimate of cattle
losses had been made when the
new storm warning was issued.

Tobin Makes New Bid
For Jurisdiction Over
.ConciI iation Service

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 8.-Secre-
tary of Labor Tobin tonight made
his strongest bid for return Of the
Federal Cancellation Service to the
Labor Department. T..
The agency, with the chief re-
sponsibility for settling labor dis
putes, was taken away by the Taft
Hartley Act.
Secretary Tobin said in addressing
a birthday testimonial dinner fcr
Mayor Donald Connolly of Trenton
that his department lis neither
grasping nor selfish when it re-
quests that all labor functions be
brought under its jurisdiction.
Secretary Tobin, with President
Truman's apparent approval, has
urged that the 8lst Congress put
all labor agencies under one de-
partment. Although Secretary Tobln
failed to mention the National La
Dor Relations Board, Assistant Sec
rotary of Labor John w. Gibson
argued recently that it also should
be included.
The NLRB has been independent
since it was created in 1885. The
Cancellation service, on the other
had, was under the Labor Depart
ment from its beginning in 1913
until 1947. Some lawmakers argued
in making the shift that manage
ment feared conciliators might have
strong labor leanings or might be
responsible to some one who did
have such sympathies.
THE past history of the Depart
ment of Labor proves con-
clusively that we can administer
this important bureau in the same
impartial manner as we have done
all these years." Secretary Tobin
said.
1--WE did it for "a years and we
could administer this important
function another "a years, fairly and
without prejudice

Quick Settlement Ends
Detroit Transit Tieup
BY the Associoted Press

DETROIT, Sept. 3.-Buses anG
streetcars were running as usual
today after the city yielded to most
all the demands of unionists who
staged a quickie work stoppage.
A walkout of 1000 maintenance
workers yesterday at the Depart
ment of Street Railway garages
threatened to tie up municipal
transportation.
Detroit Street Railway officials
said it was strike, but the repair
men said it was a demonstration,
Just when the buses began to
run out of gasoline and break
down. Mayor Eugene Van Antwerp
announced a settlement. Men,
bers of Local 312, United Public
Workers, CIO won nearly every
thing asked.
The settlement provides: Pro-
motions in the maintenance de-
partment will 60 only to men en-
ployed under a new training pro-
gram; a union representative will
be put in a supervisory post in the
training program at DSR expense.
The union had protested against
the DSR's hiring Of about Is
general auto repairmen" at $1,84
an hour. It contended the jobs
should have gone to present en-
ployes in lower classif1cations.

Wind and Water
Turn Rock to Soil

Men who study geology say
there was a time when the earth
was without any soil. In that Pc
riod, they add. solid rocks existed
on the surface in all places except
those covered by water.
What turned the upper surface
Of the rock into soil?
That was chiefly the work OF
water and wind.
When rain comes down. it can
do something to wear away rock
| Bit by bit, little streams of water
carry rock to rivers.
Cracks appear in rocks, and
water seeps into the cracks. The
water may come from rain or
melting snow. If it freezes, an
important thing happens. 1t ex-
pandS.
The freezing of water tends to
make the cracks larger. In time
the pressure may break of chunks
of rock along the sides of a noun
tain or hill. This goes on today
on mountain sides where bare
rock is exposed.
Winds also play a part in break
ing up rock. They carry dust and
other particles which strike
against bare rock, and tend to
wear it away. Dust from the
rocks may be dropped by the wind
at a distance of many miles.
Plants and animals tend to en-
rich the soil. Among the animals
which help it are lowly earth
worms. They work their way
through it, and break it up. They
might well be called Natures
ploWmen."

Sea Once Covered
Canadian Rockies

Among the worlds beautiful
mountains are the Canadian
Rockies, extending from Southern
Canada northward into the Klon-
dixie region for a distance of about
900 miles.
Scientists say that long ago this
whole area was under water. They
can show the remains Of thou
sands of sea animals, found in
the rock layers.
Much of the rock is limestone
formed from the ground-up shells
of millions of shellfish. Other rocks
in the mountains are shale.
formed out of mud or silt which
was brought into the ancient sea
by rivers. When the sea waters
were dried up, or were pushed
away by rising land, the mud was
left to dry and harden into rock.
Mount Robson is the highest
peak in the Canadian Rockies. 1t
rises to height of 1900 feet, and
is crowned with snow the year
around. Another Canadian peak.
Mount Logan. is a milestaller. but
it belongs to the st. Elias Noun
tains, not to the Rockies.
Lakes, rivers, waterfalls and
glaciers lend beauty to these
In British Columbia is
the famed Yoho Valley, part Of
which has been turned into a ma
tional park. Among the sights in
the valley are Twin Falls, about
400 feet high, and Takakkan Falls.
which drop 1,248 feet. Although
they are fed with water by small
streams and have far less volume
than Niagara, these falls are re-
because of the great dis
tance the water drops.
Among other waterfalls in the
Rockies are the Seven
Sisters. AS you may guess, they
are seven falls-side by side. Some
persons feel that the sound made
by the Seven Sisters is mournful,
and the story goes that the water
In them is composed Of millions OF
tears. }

The board of trustees of the Della
ware State College bought up the
remaining four years of its presi-
dents contract today, ending a
drawn-ou battle in which the
college president was charged with
mismanagement.
The dispute was set of when

him of improper administration.
Windup Of the dispute was an

Grabbing Jaunt
Has Little Appeal
For Girl NOViCes
Prize Contribution.
Anne Rohmon, IS
St. Ceeilio's Academy

Lets 60 grabbing" These
words sound perfectly harmless
but if you have ever ventured out
in a small, leaky boat, Sthen you
know that they're not quite so in
nocent as they sound.
Our family decided to spend a
week end at Deale Beach, Md. on
Chesapeake Bay, about IS miles
from Washington. On this one
particular morning four of us
(my sister. her husband. my girl
friend and myself climbed into
our boat. started our 2-horsepower
motor and were on our way. After
digging up several tons Of mud
with our motor, we reached the
favorite spot for grabbing, an old
stake in the water.
For the next few minutes every
one was busy tying pieces Of eel
on their lines for bait, although
Billy, my sisters husband, ended
up batting all the lines.
Then came the long and tire
some task of trying to catch q
crab. Mary. my sister, and Billy
were very patient and never moved
or made a sound. But things were
a little different at my end Of the
boat. Angela, my friend. and I
were far from patient. First we
decided to sing to the crabs. After
several minutes of singing, we
agreed that the two of us should
change sides. The boat began to
rock back and forth. Then, in
tones that weren't so sweet, we
were told to sit down, keep still
and BE QUIET.
Angela and I f1ally agreed, after
what seemed several hours. that
neither of us would catch one any,
way, SO we pulled in our lines. The
two of us sitting there with a
piece of dead eel in our hands
must have been q pitiful looking
sight.
Then we struck an idea. Let S
take the cells eyes out" This
amused us for several minutes. but
not for long. But by this time
Mary and Billy had caught a few.
SO we started the motor again and
chugged home.
