5 Billion Deficit Figure

BY the Associated Press

The Federal Government may
not overspend it's income by the
full $5.133,000,000 estimated for
the next fiscal year.
Budget Director Frank Pace
predicted this last night in a radio
interview for the Gannett News

He said an "unanticipated

eminent going more than five
times as far in the hole as it
had expected for the fiscal year

fiscal year starting July ! could
prove to be optimistic"
However, T anticipate that it
is not only unlikely, but that the
probabilities are that by the end

House Nearing Vote

The House was proceeding at a
leisurely pace today toward a vote
on an amendment to liberalize
the cotton acreage allotment law

during the afternoon, but it was
likely that the final vote would
not come until tomorrow morning
Repeated demands for quorum
roll calls slowed proceedings on
the bill Friday.

Immediately called for one. Mr.
Lesinski's FEPC bill was slowed
down week ago by frequent

Meanwhile, as leaders cast
about for more business to place
before the House, they looked un-
easily at a veterans benefit bill
for postal employees which was
ready for action.
The measure would credit mill
tary service time in the Govern
ment experience record of postal
workers hired since the war. This
would give them automatic pro-
motions and pay rises.
What was disturbing Admins
tration strategists in the House
was the cost-an estimated &c.

$454, IT'S 900. Their, thought was
that passage of the bill would

Harmful Hormones Held
Cause OF Rheumatic Ills.
BY the Associated Press

MONTREAL, Jan. 30.-A new
theory about the origin of high
blood pressure and crippling rheu-,
matte diseases has been an
nounced by a Montreal doctor
working in the field embracing the
new drug cortisone and ACTH.
DR.. Hans Seyle, director of ex-
perimental medicine at the Uni

proof that harmful hormones, in
jected into the body by the
adrenal gland, cause the disorders
which doctors now are trying to
counteract with cortisone and
ACTH.
The scientist revealed that his
theory is being published in the
British Medical Journal.
DR.. Selye said that laboratory
tests have Established that the
hormones are injected into the
body when it is under stress or
prolonged tension. He called these
substances "desoxocortisones," and
described them as the cause of
high blood pressure, hardening OF

Ferguson to Sum Up Opposition
To Electoral Revision Today

Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan is scheduled to take
the floor in the Senate this after
noon to sum up the opposition
to the new method of counting
the vote in presidential elections
proposed by another Republican,
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,.
The Lodge constitutional amend
ment, on which the Senate will
vote Wednesday, would apportion
the electoral votes of each State
according to the ratio of the pop
ular vote. At present the candi-
date who gets a majority of the
popular vote gets the States en-
tire block of electoral votes,
whether his majority is one or a
million.
New York, for example, has Al
electoral votes. One presidential
candidate mcy poll 100000 votes,
but if his opponent gets a hand
full more than 100000, it gives
him all 47 electoral votes.
The Senate roll call on the issue
lis not likely to follow any set
party line. Some Republicans are
skeptical of the plan, while some
Southern Democrats are support
ing it. F
AS a constitutional amendment
the proposal will have to muster
two-thirds support in both houses.
1t would then require ratification
by three-fourths of the States.
Senator Ferguson said he and
many of his colleagues feel the new
plan would cost the Republicans

Atom Talks Open Here
Today Between u. S..
Britain and Belgium
By fhe Assoeio4ed Press

Behind tight secrecy in the
State Department, representatives
of the United States, Belgium and
Britain meet here today to talk
about atomic energy.
Apparently authoritative infor-
nation is that they want to dis
cusS:
/. A possible increase in the
5000 to $500 per ton price which
the United States pays Belgium
for uranium produced in the Bel
gian Congo.
2. Detailed arrangements for
division of the Congo's uranium
output between the United States
and Britain, with virtually all of
it coming to this country.
No Connection With H-Bomb.
There is no apparent connec-
ton between these talks and a
possible superbomb powered with
hydrogen.
Various developments over the
week end indicated that President
Truman may be near a grave de-
cision on building the H-bomb,
and that he may be in favor of it.
In Chicago, Atomic Scientist
Harrison c. Brown said Russia
may be ahead of America in build
ing a HYDROGEN bomb. He added
that the American public should
decide whether the United States
makes such a bomb, Sin full
knowledge and understanding of
the terrible potentialities."
That contrasted with a state
ment by Representative Elston,
Republican. of Ohio, a member
of the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee, who told a re-
porter this country is "far ahead"
of Russia in atomic development.
Mundt Stresses Russian Threat.
But another lawmaker, Senator
Mundt, Republican, of South
Dakota, said in a New York
speech that Russia is making
A-bombs to the extent that "if
dropped on 25 or 80 major cities,
they could knock out the United
States in 80 seconds"
The current Washington talks
on uranium are evidently related
to discussions among the United
States, Britain and Canada which
began last fall to work out the
terms of a new partnership in
the production of atomic weapons.
The American British Canadian
talks are stalled now until after
the British elections, diplomats
here say.
Access to Belgium's Congo ore
is one of the fundamental require
ments for maintaining the present
rate of atomic bomb production
in the United States.
In addition, the United States
obtains uranium from Canada and
possibly other important sources.
But the greatest known supply in
the non-Communist world is in
the Belgian Congo.

basis and the Government would
be asked to underwrite premium
costs for Government employees
and persons unable to pay the
premium, he said.

The Government also would be
asked to provide tax deductions
on premiums for those able to
pay their own way, DR.. Norton
said.

national-has a part to play" he
added, ''but it should seek to pro-
mote and supplement the efforts

ANA Fights Truman Plan.
The American Medical Associa-
ton is campaigning to prevent
passage of President Truman's

The New Jersey plan suggests
possible extension of complete

of income. Complete coverage
now is limited to persons earn

Conner Sanity Hearing
Set Today in Murder
OF His Three Children

A sanity hearing was to be held
today in Alexandria Corporation
Court for John Steven Conner,
who shot and killed his three
children December 7.
Conner, 39-year- -old honor grad
uate of West Point, has pleaded
not guilty to the triple murder
charges by reason of insanity.
The commission that is to de-
eide his mental status consists of
Judge William P, Woolls, DR.. J. C.

Mr.. Howard said Gen. Chappell
was on the Board of Psychiatrists

when Conner was sent there after
suffering the breakdown at West
Point.
Mr.. Howard said he also planned
to call as witnesses Conner's as

police he shot the children be-
cause he feared they had inher-
tied mental depressions that he
suffered. Conner explained that
when he suffered these depres-
sions he felt unsuccessful and
told police he had a nervous
breakdown just before graduating
from West Point. Because of this,
he said, he did not receive an
Army commission.

Delay Still Indicated
On Health Insurance
Until After Election

All signs on Capitol Hill still
point to postponement of the
health-insurance issue until after
the November congressional elec-
tionS.
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming brought the question
into the limelight momentarily
today by introducing his new
voluntary plan for giving mex
pensive protection to families
earning $4,000 or less a year.
Senator Murray, Democrat, of
Montana. chairman of the SUBJ
committee handling the subject,
said he is planning no hearings
on health insurance at this ses-
sion, however. Hearings were held
last year and a committee staff
is now analyzing that testimony.
Pepper -Stassen Debate.
Meanwhile, Senator Pepper
Democrat. of Florida, and Harold
E. StasSen, potential Republican
Presidential nominee, debated the
issue yesterday on the NBC
American Forum OF the Air.
Senator Pepper said a prepaid
medical insurance program is nec-
essary to help American families
meet 'ruinqls costs of long ILL
ness, but Mr.. Stassen assailed II
as scheme to put physicians un-
der the thumb of politicians.
Mr.. Stassen, president of the
University OF Pennsylvania, said
that adoption of the system ad-
vanced by the Truman Admins
tration would bring with 1t gen.
orally poorer care and a higher
death rate.
He said that has been the ex-
perience of every nation which
had tried a compulsory health
program. adding that "a Swede in
Minnesota has a better chance
Of living to an old age than a
Swede in Sweden" which has such
a program.
Senator Pepper defended pre-
paid medical insurance, paid for
by a compulsory payroll tax, as
the only method by which mil
lions of American families can
meet costs of adequate medical
care.
Senator Hunt said his alterna-
tive program has no compulsory
features, and thus does not, in
any sense of the word. socialize
the health profession" His bill
would leave the fixing of insur-
Iance premiums and the method
of collecting them to national
health board which the measure
would create.
He said he hopes the bill will
win the support of the American
Medical Association and the
American Dental Association, both
of which are against the Truman
program.
