in Washington than there ever
have been before, according to DR..
William M. Mann, director OF the
Zoo.

Five of them are among the Zoos

two South American honeybears.
Comparative youngsters, the
snakes are only about 10 inches

snakes go, and even though their

Truman Won't Try
 To Balance Budget

WASHINGTON, (P) - Law = makers greeted without surprise Saturday the news that President Truman won't submit a balanced budget to Congress. But they split on what to do about it.
 Rep. Reed R.-N. YJ called the announcement by budget director Frank Pace "A better Christmas present" for Americans - "al- though it is not wholly unexpect- ed''-and demanded a cut in spending.
 But Senator Thye R.-Minn0 said that while he favors econ omy, he opposes the view of most of his colleagues with whom he travelled to Europe that the cuts should be made in foreign recOv- cry funds.
 Pace made his statement about the budget outlook Friday at Key West, Fla, after a conference with MT. Truman. Pace said there is lit tie probability of balancing the federal budget next year unless Congress votes new taxes.
 Congress members already have made it fairly plan that they don't take kindly to the idea of tipping

'U. s. Army Trained Russians In Art Of
 Using Radar

WASHINGTON, (P) - The se- crets of Americas wartime detec- ton and gunfire radar were taught to a dozen Russian traineeS at Fort Monmouth. N. J., in 1944 when the U. s. and the Soviets were all lies.
 This was affirmed by the army in the wake of a controversy over whether the Russians received ra- dar-equipped planes under lend lease.
 Fort Monmouth is the signal corps training and development center near Red Bank. So far as could be determined, it was the only place where the army trained Russians in radar technique.
 The army told reporters the Russians were trained in radar detection and tracking of low fly ing buzz bombs and aircraft, ra- dar artillery direction, and eff" -radar identification of planes as friend or foe.
 The Soviet training was related by the army in response to ques- tions arising out of statements by former air force major c. Racey Jordan that at least one radar- equipped transport plane went to the Russians under lend-lease. Jordan said he removed radar from four Soviet-bound planes at Great Falls, Mont.
 The air force has said that CAY planes did not generally have military search radar at the time.
 Another instance of radar-re- moval from a lend-lease CA was related by former air force Col onel Frank H. Collins of Washing ton.
 Appearing on the program of radio commentator Fulton Lewis, Jr., Collins said he had ordered equipment removed from the plane in the spring of 1914 just before it was flown away by Russian officer.
 Collins said the plane had come from Oklahoma City enroute, via Minneapolis and Alaska, to Rus sia.
