WHAT rs THE
ACTUAL BUDGET

WHAT rs THE
ACTUAL BUDGET
No one seems to know just
how much Socialized medicine,
the eva, Brannan plan and
some of the other new legisla-
ton the President proposes
would cost.
However, the Chief Executive
did ask for appropriations for
several minor" items totaling
about 81, 275, 100000. Add this to
the known deficits, coupled with
the proposed budget, and we
have a total exceeding $50,000,-
100000.
A bill for a veterans bonus
is coming up and-on this ell
ectlon year-may pass. If it
should pass, that will mean an
additional $20,000,000,0 900 at
least.
THE ROAD AHEAD
The present national debt has
scared to 1858 billions, a figure
much higher than it was at the
close of the war.
The estimated income is $38
billions for next year.
The Congress has three al
ternatives:
1. Give the President what he
asks for and run the national
debt up close to $500, 900, 0O0, 900.
2. Give him what he asks and
raise taxes anywhere from 80
to SO per cent.
8. Put a curb on excessive
government spending, refuse
the demand by the President
for high taxes and cut the bud

eral income.

groups demanding this and
that, the 471 members of House
and Senate up for reelection

There are many lawmakers
who are aware of the danger of
plunging the nation further in

NEWS LETTER
BY Zules N. Ecton
U. S. Senator
THE 81st CONGRESS
ON HOME STRETCH

The present Congress has be-
gun its last session, which will
probably continue for seven
months. Before the next Cong
ress begins the people will have
had an opportunity to elect all
435 members of the House of
Representatives and at least SO
U. S. Senators.
Worthy of close analysis are
the first two messages delivered
by the President to this session.
The first dealt chiefly with leg
islation the President proposes
the Congress should enact at
this time. The second pertain
ed to his estimate of the cost
of government for the fiscal
year 1951-July l, 1850, to June
80, 1851.
The legislation the President
requested is almost Identical
with his demands of one year
ago, and included the contro-
versial Civil Rights question,
FEPC, eva, medical health in
SOC1dl SCuI1Gy
the Brannan plan, more monev
for European aid and higher in
come taxes.
SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE BUDGET
The Administrators estim-
ate of federal expenditures
the budget-was handed to
Congress in printed form. That
book has the approximate di-
mansions of a SearS-Roebuck
catalog, weighs more than six
pounds and contains 1893 pages
printed in small type.
The 1850 budget was $43.3
billions, but by the end of the
fiscal year, June 80, the deficit
will be $5.5 billions.
For the year ending June 80.
1851, the President says he is
asking for $42.4 billions, but he
admits it will cost $47.5 billions
without any appropriations for
new legislation.
That is only part of the pic
ture.

Headaches for BOudreau.
Boudreau will have his head
aches. He may have a different
lineup from day to day. Lou,

and weight, will open at short, but
he's prepared to shift to third base

switch and try Ike Boone, also un-

Jim Hogan can receive, but he

Ex-lightweight Champion Beau
Jack was given technical knock
out victory over Lew jenkins. an
other ex-lightweight champion,
last night at Uline Arena, but there
still is plenty Of confusion in the
minds of spectators. particularly
those who saw the affair over tele-
vision, as to just what happened.
Jenkins was fioored at 2::32 of
the fifth round by a left to the
groin and was given a five-minute
rest period by Referee Ray Bowen.
At the end of that period, Jenkins
handlers would not let him con-
tinue and Bowen awarded the bout
to Jack. The knockout was in the
fifth round, Incidentally. and not
the sixth as announced by An
nouncer Jimmy Lake.
The foul rule In effect in WASH
ington, and most other places,
gives q fighter q reasonable time
to recover after being fouled. If,
in the opinion of the ringside ply
sician, he is unable to continue,
he Is awarded the bout on a foul.
Fight Is Unsatisfactory.
DR.. Leon Gordon, the Boxing
Commission physician, said that
Jenkins was able to continue last
night and when jenkins handlers
refused to let him Referee Bowen
awarded the bout to Jack.
jenkins was on his feet and try
ing to get away from his handlers
and fight Jack, but his manager,
Blinky Palermo, and his second,
Jimmy Wilson, held him in his
corner. After that they made him
sit down again, then carried him
to his dressing room.
It was an unsatisfactory ending
to an unsatisfactory fight. Jacks
flagrant fouling was evident from
the start. He twice was warned
by the referee for low blows. But
jenkins wasn't doing much fight
ing and was taking a right fine
licking. He was fioored in the
third and received a cut over his
left eye in the fourth.
