'Comrode' Vishinsky
/ Now Only Mister
In YugosIov Press
By the Associoted Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia,
July 4.-The Yugoslav press
has stopped calling Soviet
Foreign. Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky "comrade." They
now refer to him as "gospo-
din" which means mister"
or sir" In the Communist
dictionary it's pretty chilly
talk.
The change came after Rus
sia failed to support Yugo-
slav territorial claims against
Austria in the last Big Four
meeting at Paris. A mass
meeting here yesterday pro-
tested tho decision and blamed
both Russia and the Western
powers.

George Proposes CUT
In 4 Big Money Bills
To Avert New Deficit
ECA, MiIitory Included;
Senator Books PIun to
Force Trumon Action
BY the Associofsd Press

A drastic slash in four money
bills including Marshall Plan
and military funds-was proposed
today by Senator George, Demo-
crat, of Georgia as the only "prac-
tical" way to keep the Govern
ment out of the red. .,
Senator George said he favors
a bill proposed by Senator Nc
Clellan, Democrat, of Arkansas,
and backed by 81 Senators, which
would order President Truman to
cut to 10 per cent off aapropria-
tions made by Congress.
But the Georgian. who heads
the Senate Finance Committee,
said he fears such measure
never will clear Congress ard get
the approval of the President. Mr..
Truman has peked fun at the
legislators for asking him to cut
funds instead of doing it them
selves
~ Billion Is Involved.
1.-THE only practical way to get
any economy and avoid a big
deficit this year is for the Senate
to cut the big money bills that
still are to come before it," Sen
ator, George said.
He noted that about $27 ,000,-
900, 900 of the budget for the cur
rent fiscal year. which is tied up
in the Economic Cooperation
Administration. armed services,
independent Offices and Interior
Department money bills.
Members of the Appropriations
Committee have indicated they
intend to WELD the economy knife
on these remaining measures,
especially since the Government
turned up with a $1,811 ,000, 900
deficit in the year ending last
Thursday.
Congressional Approval Seen.
IF the Appropriations Commit
tee cuts these expenditures. I
think the Senate will uphold the
committee" Senator George said.
Furthermore, I believe the neces-
sity for economy is such that
whatever cuts the Senate makes
will be sustained in great part
by the House"
Senator George said a 5 per
cent cut proposed spending would
practically give us q balanced
budget" for the year.
The Senate House Committee
on Revenue and Taxation. Of
which Senator George is vice
chairman, has estimated that the
Governments revenues in the cur
rent year will fall about $4,000
000, 900 below what they were in
fiscal 1949.
The committee has estimated
that if economies aren't made the
Treasury will go another $3.000,-
600, 900 in the red.
Some members Of Congress have
put the figure higher. For in
stance, Senator Byrd, Democrat.

Arming Europe 10 Cost
6 or 7 Times Estimate
Pact Critic Predicts
Watkins Attacks Figure;
Senate to Open Debate
On Alliance Tomorrow
BY the Associoted Press

A critic of the Atlantic Pact,
Senator Watkins. Republican. Of
Utah, predicted today that the
related European arms program
would cost seven or eight billion
dollars the first year.
1T will be six or seven times
the $1,130, 900 900 estimate of ad-
ditional cash needed now given to
Congress and the public" Senator
Watkins told reporter.
s.. Senate debate begins tomorrow
on the alliance binding the United
States, Canada and 10 Western
European nations to resist ag-
gression together.
Chairman Connally of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
who will lead the drive for ratif-
cation, has predicted that not
more than 10 Senators will op-
pose it. Only Senate approval is
needed, but that takes q two
thirds vote.
Along with the pact, the Euro
pean arms program rates high on
the administration legislative
priority list. Secretary of State
Acheson has urged speedy action
on both.
Arms Plan Delayed.
But a reported administration
decision to delay submitting the
arms plan until the Senate has
acted on the security treaty has
raised doubts that Congress will
get around to European rearma-
ment at all this session.
The decision was said to have
resulted from a fear that debate
on the arms proposal might hurt
the chances of the treaty.
Senator Watkins, who has been
shooting at the pact for weeks,
did not question Senator Con-
nally's confident forecast that 1t
will be ratified.
But the Utah Senator said there
will be plenty of discussion before
that happens.
I'm not going to filibuster," /"
Senator Watkins said. But I am
going to discuss the major issues
involved. Each time some new in
ternational demand on this coun-
try comes along we are told This
is the last chance for world peace.
Sometime this will be true"
Cost of Getting Arms Ready.
| Senator Watkins said the ST.
SOC, 100000 Treasury deficit for
the fiscal year just ended may
increase opposition to the pact
because of the high cost of re-
arrning Europe.
The Senator said first-year esti-
mates of $1,130,000, 900 actually
represent only the cost OF getting
ornaments and supplies ready fol
shipment overseas.
Senator Watkins said, however
that if the pact is approved, the
arms program must be okayed
too.
Ratification of the treaty with.
out action to arm our allies. hi
said, would be like thumbing oul
nose at someone without anything
to back it up"

Withdrawn Following
Embossy's Request
By The Associoted Press

PRAGUE, July 4.-The Com
munist government has expelled
an American correspondent and
caused the withdrawal of a Brit
ish reporter from Czechoslovakia
Harold Melahn of the United
Press was expelled. His Office
here said he was ordered to leave
the country a week ago on 48
hours notice after police picked
up his residence permit. Asked
why he was expelled the Czech
Foreign office said: "Mr. Melahn
will know. 1t is for personal
reasons.
Leaves for u. S. Zone.
Mr.. Melahn. son of a Mime
apolis clergyman, left by automo-
bile for the American zone of
Germany last night. He served in
the Army Signal Corps in the
South Pacific during the war and
came here originally to study at
Charles University under the g I.
Bill Of Rights.
He had been accredited tech
nically as correspondent for Brit
ish United Press.
The British reporter, Godfrey
Lias Of the London Times, was
Withdrawn" by his newspaper
after representations had been
made to the Times by the Czecho-
slovak embassy in London. He
left last night for Vienna.
It was understood that Lias, who
also was a reporter for the Chris
tian Science Monitor and the
British weekly. the Economist
had been charged with mon
journalist activities"
Czechs Hit Western Press.
Spokesman for Czechoslovakia s
Communist government. sensitive
to world headlines. began COM
planning about "unobjective re-
porting" in the Western press and
whispering campaigns abroad
concerning this nations state
church fight.
The government seemed espe-
cially touchy about criticism in
the Western world of its treat
ment of the Roman Catholic
church which the Vatican and
the Czech church hierarchy have
branded as persecution and plum
der.
1t was quite likely that such
criticism, as well as violent resist
ance in Slovakia, was partly 1e-
sponsible for government spokes-
men issuing some placating state
ments over the week end-state-
ments like 1--WE don't intend to
imprison Archbishop Josef Beran'
and I'VE do not intend to torture
bishops"
Education Chief Complains
One man who made a, public
complaint about reaction aboard

Nejedly who asserted in broad
cast:
Whereas the whispering prop
aganda, domestic and foreign, il
featuring heavy anti-churcf
fight in our country, actually ir
our churches masses are con-
Quoted without interference or the
slightest obstacle"
In the same broadcast Nejedly
for the first time officially con-
firmed that Slovakian Catholics
were maintaining guard ovel
their priests day and night" tc
shield them from arrest. He said
this was not necessary. however
because the Communists did not
intend to torture the bishops"
