ed him of coming "periously close

American Embassy in Paris the out
rageous deportation proceedings
against Hans Eisler here, and SIM
ultaneously send me copy OF pro-
test for use here. Greetings!"

Coast
Strike
Threat

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-tR-
The Pacific American Shipowners
Association here has minimized
teport that the CLIO Marine Engi-
neers will tie up all Pacific Coast
ships with strike June Is unless
union demands are met.
A spokesman for the shipowners
says the association has notified the
Federal Mediation and Cancellation
Service that a dispute exists. But"
said the spokesman, this action
was taken purely as a requirement
of the Labor Management Relations
Act of 1947 and not because of any
new development in negotiations.
The shipowners emphasized that
the notice has no bearing on the
possibility of strike action by the
union. They added that deadlocked
negotiations may be resumed before
the contract expires June Is.
In Seattle, Acting Business Agent
Ed Altman said special strike stra-
tegy meetings have been called by
the marine engineers in all West
Coast ports.
Altman said the walkout will be
staged unless union security is pro-
vided in a new contract. He said
this means that all licensed en-
gineers on Pacific American Ship
owners vessels must belong to the
union.

Estimated,
Tax Experts

Congressional tax experts estimated
today the government will go into
the red about s3,000,co0,000 in the
fiscal year starting July l.
This estimate is sharply higher
than President Humans own bud
get estimates of 5000, 100000 def
cit. However, there had been earlier
reports the Congressional experts
might estimate the deficit for the
next fiscal year as high as $5000,-
600 ,OO0
The staff of the joint Senate
House Tax Committee said it based
its three billion deficit estimate
on a belief that tax revenues, due
to reduced business activity, will
be around 100000 less than
President Truman has anticipated
The staff reported calculated in
round figures government will take
in ,90O,O0o,Ooo and spend SAL
100000, leaving deficit OF
around 3,C00000,oO0.
The report said that for the same
period under President Humans
budget estimates the treasury will
take in SAL, 900, OOO,o GOO that expense
will run to SAL, 900, 100000 and def
cit will be 100000.
Since that time, however, addi-
tional budget requests have been
sent to. Congress which would in
crease the spending total. And
some money bills-notably the Sl6,-

measure passed by the House
seem likely to increase it even
more.

thought to an international police
force for the North Atlantic Alli-

like to see it done under the United

reporters in separate interviews.
Bridge expert Ely Culbertson has
interested a group of Senators in
his idea for setting up a CON

In the past three years the eco

why the administration in Wash
