No Change in Attitude.
Responsible informants last
night said that actually the ses-
sion made no change in the Ameri-
can attitude toward Formosa de-
spite many demands which have
been made by members Of Con-
gress that the United States
should in effect place the island
under the protection Of American
forces on the theory that Chang
will not be able to hold it.
The Administration opposition
to this kind OF action Is understood
to be based on two points. One is
the State Department argument
that such q use Of American troops
could be criticized throughout the
Far East as an imperialist move
and would cost the United States
greatly in influence in other parts
OF that area of the world.
The other point is that the
Joint Chiefs of Staff have re-
peatedly ruled that Formosa was
not OF sufficient strategic i'm
portance to warrant the use of
American forces in holding 1t al
though 1t is important enough to
try to sabe by other means.
Military Mission Opposed.
One proposal which the military
leaders made in the policy paper
before the Security Council on
Thursday was that the United
States should send a military mis-
sion to help Chang with his
defensive arrangement. This pro-
posal. some informants aid, did
not get affirmative action from
the President and his policy
makers.
However, it was stated on good
authority last night that if Chang
wishes to employ American mill
tary advisers as individuals the
American Government would be
willing for him to do so.
The policy Of non-recognition
OF the Chinese Communists for a
prolonged period was reportedly
upheld by the National Security
Council. In fact that question
stands now just where 1t did
several weeks ago when Secretary
OF State Acheson declared that
this Government was not even
considering recognition at this
time.

the Bureau of Naval Operations
and the Bureau of Personnel. At

together.
he crowds began gathering at
the downtown night spots shortly
after 10 pm. and by II pm, the
paSties were in full swing with
the noise of horns and rattlers
drowning out the music of orches-
tras.
Many in the groups of merry
makers carried packages wrapped
IN brown paper bags and cab
drivers said they heard many
plans for parties to continue in
apartments and private homes
after the ABC law put a damper
on the downtown festivities.
President Truman celebrated
the years end at a small dinner

Congress Is Criticized.

seems clear 1t does not intend to
do so.
Congress Is Criticized.
Every Congress indorses econ
omy; every Congress vows to
achieve economy. But the sad fact
Is that Ccngres5 regularly appro-
pirates more than the President
recommends. and this has nothing
to do with whether the Democrats
or the Republicans are in charge"
Mr.. Harrison's plan would not
tie any strings to funds for ma
tional defense, public debt servic-
ing. trust funds and benefits to
veterans previously directed by
law. All other appropriations
would be conditional and ineffec-
tive unless covered by the proposed
presidential certification that the
expenditures would not increase
the public debt.
The Virginian said he will offer
his plan as an amendment to the
Legislative Reorganization Act of
1916. That act already contains
the budget-ceiling requirement,
which does not prevent Congress
from spending more than the
Government takes in, but was in
tended to discourage deficit
financing. ....
The existing law directs both
Houses to adopt at the start of
each session a resolution fixing a
maximum limit on appropriations.
It also provides that whenever
this ceiling figure exceeds esti-
mated tax collections, Congress
would have to include in the CELL
ing resolution a clause authorizing
the necessary increase in the pub
lie debt to cover the deficit.
In 1947 the two Houses were
unable to agree on a ceiling. In
1948 they fixed goal, but men,
bers have disagreed over how
effective 1t was. Last year they
postponed action on the law.
1t remains to be seen what
House and Senate leaders will do
about the ceiling requirement in
this session but they have made
plans to try putting the entire
Federal budget in one appropria-
|tion bill, instead Of the customary
ten or twelve departmental meas
ureS. =.
Tax Increase Opposed.
Mr.. Harrison said his condi-
tional appropriation plan would
be enhanced materially by adop-
ton of the single appropriation
bill idea, so long advocated by
Senator Byrd Democrat, of vir-
ginia) and recently indorsed in
principle by congressional leaders. "
Representative Reed said that if
President submits a tax increase
program to Congress II will de-
|mand that the House Ways and
Means Committee make 1t the
first order OF business" adding his
belief that the committee would
reject higher taxes.
This country doesn't need a
tax increase" Mr.. Reed continued.
1T needs thrifty and economic
national administration in Wash-
ington. It's high time bureauc-
|racy's binge ended"
