l4A-TOn Rocket
 Hits 3,6OO M. P. HI.

Long Range Proving Ground, Cocoa, Fla. (P-A 14M-ton two- stage rocket thundered eastward over the Atlantic Saturday at a speed of 2,727 miles an hour for the first missile and around $500 miles an hour for the second.
 Excellent conditions permitted observers to watch twin vapor trails after the two rockets separ- ated about nine miles up and 9 miles east of the concrete launch ing pad.
 The missile was made up of a captured German V-2 weighing IA tons with 700-pound rocket known as the "WAC Corporal mounted atop it. The two missiles were 60 feet high from base to top.
 In a matter of seconds the V-2 attained its 2,727-mile speed. It reached an altitude of nine miles in 63 seconds. There the "WAC Corporal separted from it and roared eastward at a speed in ex- cess of 5000 feet a second, or some $500 miles an hour.

Korean Situation At A Glance -.
Saturday. July 29. 1850 (By the Associated PreSs)

(By the Associated PreSs)
 American troops, under orders to ''fight to the death," are hold ing the line on the blazing Kore- an front despite furious offen- sive by North Korean Reds striv- ing at a knockout blow before additional forces can be pitted against them.
 A release from Gen. MacAr- thurs headquarters dated Sunday said communist thrusts against the U. S. First Cavalry and 25th Infantry have been thrown back.
 The American forces are striv- ing to hold their mountain posi- tions while fresh men and equip ment and being funneled into Korea for major counteroffen- sive.
 In Washington, an army spokes- man told newsmen: "I think you can expect a continuous landing of troops and material" which could insure victory for United Nations forces.
 He did not specifically mention the fact that elements of the First Marine Division and the army's Second Infantry Division (from Fort Lewis), have been on their way from the U. s. to the Far East for some time.
 The Reds were suffering terri fife losses, but despite depleted reserves of tanks and men they smashed at Hwanggan on the cen tral sector and were threatening to outflank the Eighth Army in a drive cutting in about 40 miles south of Hwanggan.
 For three days now the front has been kept fairly stable with no important penetrations by the invaders. But for the communists time is running out and there were indications Red commanders are now pouring everything they have into a major push.
 General MacArthur's headquar- ters claimed United States coun- terattacks are safely holding the line. It was announced at Tokyo that fresh U. s. troops from Oki- nawa stalled a thrust on the south coast at Ponggye, 55 miles west of Pusan, vital southeast supply port for the United Ma tions forces.
 Americans were ordered to flight to the death," with no sur render and without giving another inch of ground. The order came from Gen. Walton H. Walker, commander of the U., S. 9th Army, in an unheralded visit to a front line command post.
 eve will hold the positions we have and fight it out here," Walker said. 'This is a fight for time everybody in this army knows we must hold along the lines we now have"
 He ordered that no one individ- ual, squad, company or higher unit under any conditions will surrender.
 Walker explained that the Ko- rean War has entered 'its critical stage" He pointed to the fact that fresh American troops and SUD- plies are pouring into Korea but emphasized that the Allied cause could trade no more territory for time.

SOMETIME BUT NOT NOW!

N The Federal budget should be cut &c.
600, 100000 year, declares Paul G. Hoff-
man, Economic Cooperation Administra-
or, who bases his remarks upon the be-
lief that Government expenditures should
not exceed $50, 1000, 100000, based on pres
ent national income.
The effectiveness of Mr.. Hoffman's
suggestion, however, is overshadowed by
his admission that, despite the need for
cutbacks, they are virtually impossible
at this time. In brief. Mr.. Hoffman is in
favor of cutting Federal expenditures
sometime in the future, but not now.

WHEN DOES A CENTURY BEGIN?

There is a general idea that 1850
marks the first year of the last half of the
twentieth century but the point is made
by some writers that, after all, the GEN.
fury began with the year 1901 and that,
consequently, the first fifty years end on
midnight of Dec. 81, 1850.
Certainly, if a man would count out a
hundred units of anything, from apples
to automobiles, he would begin with num-
Der one and end with number one hundred
If the same rule applies to the years of a
given century, then the first half of the
present century would not come to close
until the end of 1850.
General usage, it is true, considers the
turn of century to begin with the 100"
year and, under this theory, the hundred
years would come to end at the close of
the "99" year. While this may be tech
nically incorrect it is the custom.

Zone thousand college presidents
deans and university administrators heard.
an unusually sharp attack on the medical
profession of this country delivered by a
committee. of prominent college leaders,
which had been studying pre-professional
education. s.-.*e'~eo.as. ~a.-~ss
The charges were made before the
American Conference of Academic Deans,
recently meeting in Cincinnati, and were
included in a report made by commit
teescomposed of the deans of Wayne,
Ohp State, Northwestern and Kentucky
Universities. The committee was APP
pointed year ago to study the problems
invslved in admission to the medical col
legss.
sThe committee assaulted the medical
profession for it's ''short-sightedness' in
not skeeping apace with the nations health
neets, accused the doctors of using Pet
rilIo and Fishbein economics" in keeping
down the number of students admitted to
medical schools and asserted that thou
sands of qualified pre-medical students
are not admitted to the schools, even
though the nation needs more doctors
According to DR.. William S. Guthrie,
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,
Ohio State University, college students
face strict ratiOning of careers in medi-
cine, dentistry and veterinary medicine
without respect for the couptry's need.
He said reports from seventy-five of the
nations seventy-nine medical schools
disclose 2,460 applications for the fall
term of 1919, representing $4,000 individ-
ual students There were only 6,387
places 10 be filled in the freshman classes.
DR.. Guthrie asserted that many of the
students rejected have good academic re-
cords and possess the readily acknowl-
edged personal qualifications but that,
no matter how eligible, three-fourths of
thu, applicants just can't get in" He urg-
ed the medical profession to expand facil-
tiles TO admit minimum of 1900 addi-
tional students annually. This could be
done. he asserted by utilizing the medi-
cal colleges to full capacity, as was done
during the war years.

U. 5. FACES LARGE DEFICIT


The President has proposed, IN his an
nual budget message to Congress, expen-
ditures Of s42, 4S9, 100000 in the face Of
expected receipts of $37,3O6,ooo,OoO.
These figures contemplate deficit OF So
1913. 900 900 for the fiscal year which ends
June both, 1851.
The figures under discussion IN Con-
gress relate toathe operation Of the Fed
efai Government from July lst, 1900
While the. amountsto De spent seems pro-
digious. Involving the third largest deficit
in time Of peace, an analysis OF the pro-
nosed. exnendittres reveals that seventy
Der cent of the total cost of government
is due to past wars and the possibility of
future war.
For national defense, the sum OF $751;
SOC, 900, 900 is proposed. The Veterans,
program will cost Sc, 100, 100000, interest
on the public debt will be $5,600,00o,000
and foreign affairs, including the nom
military cost of the cold war, account for
$4.700, 100000.
Even after making allowance for the
fact that slightly more than seventy per
cent of the total budget represents the
.'cost of wars, past or future" one faces
the fact that there remains slightly more
than S12, 800, 100000 for the other func-
tions of government This is not chicken
feed.fIt represents a staggering increase
in the cost or government since the early
fxaFt
billion dollars.
In this field of activity, there is I'M
doubtedly money to be saved by economy
and efficiency in government, but, exact
ly how much no one can say. Even al
lowing for the traditional fact that de-
mocracy costs money, there would seem
to be the possibility of substantial reduc-
tons.
The Presidents figures do not come
out of thin air. Where the money goes can
be seen from studying the complete bud
get which runs just two pages short of two
Thousand. Even the Presidents message,
outlining the budget, requires nearly Six
pages Obviously, the average
voter has not the time and many have not
the utility to understand the somewhat
cofiplieated. picture that the figures pre-
sent.
The estimated deficit of more than
SIS, 100000 will be the nineteenth in
the last twenty-one years. SURPRISES were
available only in 1947 and 1913. Because
Of these two years, the Eightieth Con-
gress reduced taxes about $4,000, 900, 900.
Consequently, Mr.. Truman repeats his
thesis that the badly devised tax reduc-
ton" is chiefly responsible for the cur
rent deficit.
