There is intense interest here
in just what the senate will do
with the huge military appropri-
ations bill which is now in pro-
cess of hearing before the senate
armed services committee.
After much pruning and par
ing, from an original request for
20 billion dollars from the three
service groups, the bill went to
the house asking for military
appropriation of 1873 billion dol
lars. Such a large time
military appropriation shocked
some members of congress and
! there was an immediate outcry
from such men as Clarence Can
non, chairman of the house ap-
preparations com m j tie e, who
said, Eve can make sizeable and
Justifiable reductions" When the
bill came out of his committee,
however, Congressman Cannon
supported the measure which his
committee had upped several
million instead of cutting.
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio has
said, "You can cut a billion dol
lars right out of the army bud
get. There isn't any more waste
full organization in the world
than the army and navy"
So the bill goes to the senate
committee with a total of 15.9
billion dollars instead of 1873 bill
lion and it remains to be seen
Niust what the upper house can
do in slashing the measure. This
bill is the largest of all the ap-
preparation bills and is more than
a third of the total appropriations
for all purposes. Senators Wherry
of Nebraska, Edwin Johnson of
Colorado, Alexander Wiley of
Wisconsin, and, of course, Harry
Byrd Of Virginia, all have fore
cast large cuts in the military
budget. 1t must be approved and
signed by the president by
July l.
According to observers here,
several factors stand in the way
of any sizeable cuts First, the
unification of the armed services
has disappointingly failed to
bring about any sizeable reduc-
tions in expenses. Second, both
houses voted last year almost un-

Chang Repeats Appeal
For American Help

NEW YORK, July 6 (P).-Gen-
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, re
tired President of Nationalist
China, appealed for American aid
against the Chinese Communists
in an interview reported yesterday
by Clyde Farnsworth, Scripps-
Howard staff writer.
The interview was obtained at
Taipeh, Formosa. The 62-year-old
generalissimo confined nearly all
his publishable comments to writ
ten answers to questions submitted
in advance. Mr.. Farnsworth said.
Chang retired from the presi-
dency last January but kept his
leadership of the Kuomintang
/ Nationalist Party. He declared
in answer to one question that
regardless of whether he held any
political Office, he could never give
up my revolutionary leadership"
of the Chinese people as long as
independence and freedom were
vet to be achieved.
Sees Spread Throughout Asia.
He answered yes" to the ques-
tions: DO you feel that if the
Communist forces aren't nov
checked in China, the Communist
movement will spread through
Asia?" and DO you believe this
spreading Communist movement
is part of a plan of the Soviet
Union to dominate the entire
world?"
The question with reference to
American aid was: How can
China win this new war Of re-
sistance? What help does she re-
quire? Can the National govern
ment survive without foreign help?
DO you expect a third world
WARP"
To this Chang answered in
part: THE first step. it seems IL
me, is for the United States to
reactivate its policy Of giving
moral support to the Chinese gov
ernment in it's fight against Com
munism. Nor by her assump-
ton of world leadership in the
fight against Communism will the
United States exclude China from
the scope of her aid. Otherwise
the future of the fight by the DEM
ocratic countries against Com
munism will be gloomy indeed,
and q calamity for mankind will
be irretrievable."
Doubts Break With Cominform.
Asked if in his opinion there
were any chance that Chinese
communism would develop along
separatist nationalist lines. Chang
declared: by the very pronounce
ment of the Chinese Communist
leaders, as we'll as by the history
of their party. there is nothing to
indicate whatsoever that the Com
munist Party in China may break
with the center of international
communism, the Cominform. as
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia ap-
parently did"
Military misfortunes of the Ma
tionalist government. he said,
were due to Russias not fulfilling
her obligations under the Chinese
Russian treaty of 1945 to restore
Manchuria to China, and to the
hardships of the Chinese people
in eight years of war with Japan.

WoII' Builder Upheld
By Law Washington Drafted

A law drafted by George Wash
ington, and In effect here for
nearly $50 years, was invoked yes
terday In a District Court case In
volving party walls" between
buildings.
Judge James Morris cited the
statute, after attorneys had ex-
humed it, in settling a party
wall" dispute between two next
door neighbors in the 1900 block
Of North Capitol street. The
judge, in a three-page opinion,
held that Benjamin Auerbach had
the right, under President Wash
ington's law, to extend the wall
of his building from its rear to
the alley, despite the protests of
his neighbor, Frank Cappelletti
of 1921 North Capitol.
Mr.. Cappelletti brought his
protests to court when Mr.. Auer-
bach built his extended wall a
few inches over onto Mr.. Cap
pelletti's property all along their
mutual property line.
Mr.. Auerbach countered that
the construction was permissible
because of the hoary regulation
in which President Washington
ordered that the foundation of
party walls shall be "laid equally

Leeman Urges Wide
Citizen Membership

Herbert P. Leeman, president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associ-
ations, last night urged the Kalo-
rama Citizens Association to carry
a membership drive into the
homes, churches and lodges of the
community.
We've got to show the people
who govern Washington that the
people who live In Washington
are interested in their government
and the best way we can do that is
by having large association mem
berships," Mr.. Leeman said.
Mr.. Leeman explained the func-
tions Of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations to the group.
"Our principal job is to protect
your interests" he said. I'VE are
fighting, for instance, the decision
of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion in granting an increase for
gas rates and If we win our fight
you and your neighbors are going
to save money"
He also urged continuation Of
the fight for home rule.
Because Of the way things
stand in the world today. no group
of intelligent people can refuse
the opportunity to govern them
selves because of their small
fears" he said.
The association adjourned in
memory of Clifford K. Bergman,

this law out-of-date, arguing that
in Washington's time, most Of the
city was q flock of vacant lots ano
woods" The First President could
not have anticipated modern-day
housing conditions or controversies
the lawyer argued.
But Judge Morris pointed out
that Mr.. Cappelletti's dwelling was
in no way injured and that Mr.
Auerbach's newly-constructed wall
is suitable for his neighbor's mu-
tual use, IF and when Mr.. Cap
pelletti or his successors desire to
break into it and make use of it,
for any wall extensions of their
own.
OF course, the court added. If
that eventuality comes about, Mr.
Cappelletti would have to pay Mr..
Auerbach one-half of the latter's
cost of putting up the building
wall just extended.
That was President Washing
tons idea, too.
