Truman said work is going ahead on the defense budget for the fiscal year starting July l. 1851, and 2 ceiling has been placed on the amount the military can spend. He would not disclose the ceiling,
 but several weeks ago he said the

 Against Voluntary

 said he was against setting up a Fair Employment Practices Com-

 powers would have been transferred
 to the board, but Congress rejected 1t. He added he had nothing to say
 for the present on any future plans
 in that direction.

 say now whether he will visit Ohio in the Democratic campaign to de-
 feat Senator Taft (R-Ohio) for re- election. When asked whether he would see Joseph T. Ferguson, Dem-
 ocratic candidate against Taft, ht replied he would be glad to see him if he comes in.

 derstood both sides were highly pleased. and if they are he is too.
