 The benefit dance was held in the Elks ballroom. The Moose post poned their Saturday night dance so as not to interfere with the Mer- cado benefit, Barlow said.
 Music for dancing was supplied by the Filipino String Orchestra, and midnight intermission was highlighted by the singing of Ju- anita Diaz, steel guitar soloes by Bill Huckleberry, and magic by M. D. zamorra.
 Mercado lost his feet as the re- suit of the sinking of his troller in St. James Bay on Lynn Canal December T. His partner, Andy Haffner, was drowned.

 The dance was organized by a United Trollers of Alaska committee headed by Manery.

 Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said it showed the Presidents talk about economy and budget balancing was only for window-dressing."
 Senator Mcclellan (D-Ark) said the proposal for another $5,000,- O00000 deficit, adding that much to the national debt, "accentuates again the necessity for rigid eco- nomy." Mcclellan added that to ap- prove the budget as it stands would carry us further down the road to national insolvency"
 Rep. Joseph w. Martin, Jr., CMass), House Republican leader, said "the Republicans in Congress have no intention of accepting this budget and we will work night and day, if necessary, to bring it within the bounds of the capacity of the people to pay"
 SPECIAL TAX MESSAGE
 President Truman will send Con- gress later on a special tax mes sage. In his State of the Union address last week he said he would propose some revisions and mod crate" increases.
 But nobody expects that he will ask additions which would take much of a chunk out of the S5,- 133 ,00O 000 deficit that his $42,- 439 ,OOOO0 spending figure antici- pates.
 The cold war with Communist Russia takes the biggest spending bite = S18,256,00O, ,000. That figure for the 1851 fiscal year beginning July includes 3,500,000,OO0 for defense-up $4OO,OO0,o00 from this year-and s4,7O0 100000 for foreign aid.
