President Gives OK
For Adjournment, Ha!
No New Bills on Way
Lucas Is Still Hopeful
For Saturday Night
End to Slst Congress

President Truman today gave
his congressional leaders the green
light to wind up the 81st Con-
gress and go home, advising them
he did not propose to submit any
more legislation.
With three major measures still
to be disposed of-taxes, arms
and Communist control-Senator
Lucas of Illinois, the Senate ma
jority leader, said he was still
hopeful Congress could quit as
planned on Saturday night, but
he was not certain.
The Senator appeared skeptieal
over the chances of getting
through statehood legislation for
Alaska and Hawaii. although Mr.
Truman has repeatedly urged the
Senate approve the measure
which already has passed the
House.
Statehood Seen 3-Week Job.
Asked about prospects for pas
sage. Senator Lucas said, "Some
fellows have advised me in con-
f1dence that it will take three
weeks to debate that. don't see
how we can keep Congress in Ses-
sion three or four weeks longer"
House Speaker Rayburn, an
other of the conferees. said that
it is planned to get a rule on the
S. billion tax bill tomorrow and
send it to conference Thursday.
Both Mr.. Rayburn and Sen
ator Lucas expressed conviction
that the conferees would dispose
of this measure In short order.
Red Bill Passage Predicted.
The McCarran Communist con-
troll bill which already has passed
the House is coming up in the
Senate this afternoon. Passage
is predicted there and while the
President has said he will veto
the measure in its present state
predictions are being made that
Congress can pass it over his veto.
No hitch is anticipated on the
SIG billion arms aid bill.
Speaker Rayburn wants Con-
gress to adjourn sine die, but Sen
ator Lucas was noncommittal on
the question of whether an ad-
journment or a recess would be
taken.

Signed; Truman Halls
Great Forward Step
Will Allow Presentation
Of Financial Program
More Simply, He Says
By Froncis P. Douglas

President Truman today signed
the Budgeting and Accounting
Bill and said it's provisions lay the
foundation for far-reaching i'm
provements and simplification.
The Presidents statement as he
signed the new law said:
"I have today signed the Budget
and Accounting Procedures Act of
1850. This is the most important
legislation enacted by the Congress
in the budget and account field
since the Budget and Accounting
Act, 1921, was passed almost 80
years ago.
1.-THE budget provisions will en-
able the President to present the
financial program of the Govern
ment in simpler and more mean
ingful terms. It will provide the
basis for a better evaluation of
Government programs and activi-
ties, in terms of where the funds
come from, the purposes to which
they are to be applied and the
costs involved.
"Far-Reaching improvements"
THE accounting auditing pro-
visions lay the foundation for far
reaching improvements and sim
plification. For the first time,
clear-cut legislation is provided
which nails down responsibility
for accounting, auditing and finan-
cial reporting in the Government.
The legislation embodies the prin-
ciples and objsctives of the joint
accounting program which has
been successfully carried forward
for years under the leadership of
the controller general of the
United States, the Secretary of
the Treasury and director of the
Bureau Of the Budget in collabora-
ton with all other agencies of the
Government. This program has

The names of two mysterious
associates" of Emmitt Warning
in his gambling business were
withheld from the House District
Crime Investigating Committee
today by their lawyer because
their regulations in the commu-
nifty are unblemished.
Charles E. Ford, criminal
lawyer, defied efforts of the COM

names of Warnings associates"
contending he would be violating
an attorney-client relationship if
he named them.

Mr.. Ford testified, "but it is not
known to the community that
they are engaged in that business"

called Mr.. Ford, H. Clifford Alder
and James A. Hughes to question
them about the source of fees they
received for defending relatively

reminded by reporters that he had
