S5Wk;lIion Domestic
Cut in Federal Budget
By J. A. O'Leory


Senate Republicans are at work
today on an economy amendment
to cut at least $500 million from
the domestic side of the new
Federal budget to help meet heavy
defense needs.
Administration leaders hope to
pass the $34, 4,6sS, 100000 appropri-
alton bill, covering all Govern
ment functions. by the end Of the
week, after which it must go to a
joint House-Senate conference

Korean crisis has raised a big
question mark in the minds Of
Senators on that measure.
Test Vote on FEPC Due.
Two weeks ago leaders planned
quick action on the appropriation
and tax bills in the hope Of re-
eessing Congress about August 1.
Now they are not sure what they
win do about either the tax bill
or adjournment.
Debate on the big appropriation
bill will be interrupted early this
afternoon by the test vote on the
Fair Employment Practices bill.
Before the day is over Majority
Leader Lucas will try to get an
agreement limiting speeches on
the appropriation bill.
The opening hours of debate
yesterday were taken up by two
comparatively minor issues:
l. A fight by Senator Ellender,
Democrat. Of Louisiana to post
pone the starting of a new Senate
Office Building, or to reduce its
cost.
2. A renewal by Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat, of Minnesota OF
his campaign against the Joint
Committee on Non Essential Fed
eral Expenditures, headed by Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia.
Byrd Defends His Group. h
Senator Humphrey argued the
$4,000 in the appropriation bill
for expenses of the Byrd Com
mittee duplicates the work of the
Senate Committee on Expend-I
itures. Senator Byrd defended the
work Of the special committee, and /
Mr.. Humphrey conceded he had
no hope of eliminating its funds.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee, meeting late yester-
day, decided to back a general L
economy amendment aimed at
nearly all military functions.

Champ Proves He's
Still Best Welter

Jersey City-Sugar Ray
Robinson had little trouble
Wednesday night as he won
a 15-round decision from 8
track man who boxes under
the name of Charlie Fusari.
The one-sided bout with
Fusari, a 81 underdog, drew
a turn away crowd of 10000
to Roosevelt Stadium, scene
of the championship bout.
Receipts have not been
announced but they proba-
bly, will reach $150,000. The
Damon Runyon fund, which
will receive approximately
$4,000, helped draw the
fans. There were no televis-
ion or radio broadcasts.
Robinson fought for the
legal 81, donating the rest
of his 80 per cent of the swag
to the fund. Fusari was also
to make a donation out of his
rs per cent cut. The promo
tiers gave Is per cent off the
top.
There were no knock
downs in the one-sided con-
test. What little chance Flu
sari had was nullified by the
Harlem Sugarboy's master
boxing. Time and again he
tainted Fusari out of posi-
ton when Charlie was set
to throw his famous right
hand punch. i
.Fusari wobbled and almost
collapsed from Robinson's
punching in the 9Th, 9th and
14th. However, only in the
14th did he seem to be in
danger of a KO.
Robinson opened a cut
over Fusari's left eye in the
second and bloodied his nose
in the eighth.
The matchmaking ordeal
which forced Ray to make
three trips to the scales at
the weigh-in, seemed to tell
on him in the 18th and 18th
At the end Robinson ham,

Gen. Hull's organization has
been busy for the last several
months evaluating the B-36 and
its-vulnerability to fast Jet fight
ers. The House Armed Services
Committee investigated the plane
last year. During the hearings
Navy officers said that Navy's

it down but in the end the COM

the B-36. =
Congressman at one time pro-
posed duel between the B-36
and the fighters, but this was

Floor on Coal Prices
Al Mines Asked in Bill
Introduced by Ki|gore
Measure Plans Control
By Commission to Assure
Production Cost Return
By J. A. OIeorv

A bill to put a floor under
wholesale coal prices was intro
duced today by Senator Kilgore
Democrat Of West Virginia, to
head off break in prices he said
would be disastrous to the in
dustry.
The West Virginia Senator said
the coal mining industry faces
the possibility of a "riotous COM
petitive price situation" unless
Congress takes some action at
this session.
: His bill would set up a commits
sion to establish minimum prices
at the mines to yield a return not
less than the average cost of pro-
duction. No attempt would be
made to regulate retail prices
charged by dealers.
Senator Kilgore said there is an
excess of possible producing ca
pacity over demand for coal, "and
this unhealthy situation, if per-
mitted to continue unchecked,
might easily lead to disastrous
cut-throat practices in the indus
try. Both labor and management
would suffer tremendously under
such conditions"
In the early days of the Roose-
velt administration Congress
e 81 a blished similar controls
through the Guffey Coal Act. That
act. which has since expired, used
the taxing power to bring pro-
ducers under its terms, by sub
scribing to fair practice code.
Senator Kilgore eliminates the
code system and relies on the In
terstate Commerce clause of the
Constitution. pointing out the
Supreme Court has approved
such regulation in a law dealing

Any walkout, however. probably
will be delayed beyond that date.
The National (Railway) Media
ton Board is expected to inter-

A strike by the Pullman car
conductors would tie up Pullman
parlor and sleeping cars on rail-

whelmingly in favor of a strike, a

A simultaneous strike Of 30
conductors on the Milwaukee

1t also is subject to Federal in
