Lava From Mauna Loa
Covers Hundreds of
Acres Along Coast
Eruption Sets Record for
Volume of Molten Rock
Emitted in First Hours
By the Associoied Press

KEALAKEKUA, Hawaii, June
3 (by radiophone) Heavy black
stone from erupting Mauna Loa
covers hundreds Of acres Of Ha-
waits Kona Coast today. Between
so and 80 families have fed their
homes. Lava has eaten into parts
of villages.
1t is a scene of both deSolation
and beauty created by one Of the
worlds most active VOLCANOES. Here
and there is a fallen tree, knocked
over by the lava that still spills
over the sides of the crater.
Mauna Loa broke loose Thurs
day night after a sleep of 1S
months. Volcanologist Ruy H.
Finch of the Hawaii Volcano OBJ
servatory said 1t was the most
violent eruption on record for the
tons of lava spewed within the
first few hours. He predicted it
might last two weeks.
He reported:
The area outside the crater
swept by lava in the first IL hours
was the greatest on record. It's
most spectacular feature was the
speed with which it covered the
southwestern slopes of Mauna
Loa."
Lava Flows at 40 M.P.H.
Observers who have watched
the eruption from the beginning
say it was even more spectacular
last night than Thursday night.
The lava was flowing at break
neck" speed in spots-as high as
40 miles an hour. "It's hard to
estimate the speed of the flow but
it's ranging between 20 and 40
miles an hour" Mr.. Finch said.
Two fiery streams have reached
the sea. A third neared the costal
highway 10 miles to the south. A
fourth stream poured down
toward Kau in the south point
area.
Kona police ordered evacuation
of another South Kona village
yesterday afternoon. It is the
tiny settlement Of Papa which
is in the path of the third stream.
Milolii village is also in the lava
path.
A lava bed had turned. black.
It is still dangerous. 1t is the
one that first reached the sea.
Edge Is Higher Than Man.
In some places flames spout.
One tall eucalyptus tree stands
with fire gnawing at its roots.
The scene seemed something like
a fireplace with dying embers-
ready to be prodded into fire.
The edge of this lava bed is
higher than a man is tall. 1t
appears much thicker in the CEN
ter. It is about one-quarter of a
mile wide and stretches from
Mauna Loa to the sea, blocking
the coastal highway about mile
south of here.

Billion Cut
Likely in 1850
Deficit Estimate
Less Than 81 Billion,
A 26% Improvement,
Is New Forecast
BY the Assoeiated Press

The Federal Government may
wind up the 1850 fiscal year about
$1.4 billion less in the red than
the administration had forecast
only six weeks ago.
There is even an outside chance
that the Treasury will find itself
better off by close to 81 billion.
The budget deficit for the H.
month period ending June 80 ap-
pears likely now to stay well be-
low 81 billion-a startling 26 per
cent improvement over the $5.4
billion deficit predicted by the
Budget Bureau on April 20.
This change in the outlook was
indicated by the trend of official
figures and confirmed by officials
who have excellent information.
Spending Tagging.
They ascribed the new develop
ment to the fact that Government
spending is tagging far behind
estimates while tax revenues are
running moderately above April
expectations.
AS OF May 31-with only one
month left of this fiscal year
there were signs that the r.
month spending figure alone might
fall a whopping $1.4 billion below
the April 20 estimate of $42 bill
lion. That last total was itself
a sharp cut from President Tru-
mans January prediction that
$43.3 billion would be spent this
year.
officials said the April spending
guess is virtually certain to prove
an overestimate of at least 81 bill
lion.
On the revenue side, the trend
was toward a year-end mark
nearly $700 million above the April
estimate of 1865 billion, but Of
f1cials said the excess is more
likely to be about $400 million to
$500 million.
Big Cit in April.
The April receipts estimate itself
reflected a $1.2 billion cut from
President Truman's January rev.
enue prediction.
The sudden change in the 1850
deficit outlook could indicate a
better picture for the coming
fiscal year as well.
Continued strength in revenue
collections and further drag In
the spending pace would inevita-
bly, point to a budget condition in
fiscal 1851. beginning July /,
much closer to a balance than
the $5.1 billion in-the-red figure
foreseen by the Budget Bureau in
April.

Netherlands agreed to 60 along
with the pool plan proposed May
0 by French Foreign Minister
Schuman. Great Britain refused
to come in, although the British
Foreign Office issued a communi-
que In London paying tribute tc
"the bold character and far
reaching importance" of the Schu-
man proposal. The plan has the
blessing of the United States.
Precedent Declared Set.
"It is the first time in the his.
tory Of the world" said a French
government spokesman Of today''
agreement, that countries whose
differences have caused so many
wars are getting together to create
q community of interests which
will eliminate the causes of wars.
The six agreeing nations saie
IN q joint communique they hae
decided to pursue a common &C.
ton of peace. European solidarit!
and economic and social progress
by placing the coal and steel pro-
duction Of their respective coun'
tries in a common pool under 6
new high authority.
Britain, although remaining
aloof. agreed to be kept informed
of the progress Of negotiations
The British government said II
neither wanted to accept in ad-
vance nor reject in advance the
idea behind the Schuman Plan
1t objected to the French request
for O public declaration of ap-
proval in advance Of actual dis
cussions Of how the pool will
work.
Britain Expected to Join.
The French Foreign Ministry
said. however:
I'VE are happy the British gov
ernment accepts the proposition
to be kept informed on the prog
ress of negotiations"
Some Foreign Ministry sources
expressed belief Britain eventually
would join in the pool plan. Some
informants, wise in the ways OF
Europe, said they thought Brit
ain had been caught unprepared
by Mr.. Schuman's bold proposal
and feared France might seize the
leadership in European economic
affairs from England.
Not the least notable aspect OF
today's agreement was the fact
the leaders in it were two of Eu-
ropes oldest and bitterest foes
France and Germany, at least
that part of it now occupied by
the Western powers. The other
four nations have suffered not in
frequently at German hands.

Desperadoes Escape
From Ring Of Officers
In Georgia Mountains
Two Heavily Armed Men.
Mystery Woman Flee
In Stolen Truck
BY the As.oeioted Press

CALHOUN, Ga, June 3.-A
mysterious red-haired. scar-faced
woman and two heavily armed
men today apparently won a two
day. bullet-punctuated game of
hide and seek with police.
A Georgia officer said the des-
perate trio is believed to have
slipped out of a trap in mountain
thickets near here.
Armed with a machine gun cap
tured from the Tennessee highway
patrol. shotgun and pistol, the
fugitives were reported speeding
north or east in a stolen 1948
pickup truck.
A key had been left carelessly
in the vehicles ignition lock.
For SO grim, nervous hours
troopers from Tennessee and
Georgia had poked through dense
underbrush for the slippery. fast
shooting quarry-wanted for three
earlier gun scfapes with officers.
Hill Search Abandoned.
Police thought yesterday they
had them cornered in an 18-
square-mile armed ring.
But 1t. Ed Norton of the
Georgia Bureau of Investigation
abandoned the rugged hill country
search today.
Tennessee patrolmen identified
the male fugitives as William J..
Parker of Huntsville. Ala, and
Fred Scroggins. a native North
Georgian reported to have lived
in East Brainerd, Tenn. They
said Parker is wanted on FIVE
counts of burglary.
The three began their escapade
yesterday with a flourish of gun
fire and speeding automobiles.
They opened fire with a pistol
when 1t. Dainey Garland of the
Tennessee highway patrol stopped
them at Oolrewah for q routine
check.
Stole Patrol Car.
When 1t. Garland sought cover
to reload after returning the fire.
the trio speeded of in his patrol
car equipped with a machine gun
and 500 rounds of ammunition.
Later they changed cars, aban-
doning the officers car, for one
which they borrowed" from a
farmer.
They smashed through road
blocks set up at Ringgold. Ga,
and later at Calhoun. The ma
chine gun. thrust through a
a smashed back window. covered
their flight.
When the farmers blood-spat-
tered, bullet-riddled car was found
late yesterday near here. possemenI
theorized that one of three was
wounded.

Bv J. A. Oleory

Senators considering the new
81 ,222 .500.0 900 foreign military aid
bill may question Defense Secre-
tary Johnson Monday on how
much the other nations co-operat-
ing with the United States are
doing on mutual defense plans
Senator Knowland, Republican
of California, who queried Secre-
tary of State Acheson on this
point at the start of joint hear
ings before the Foreign Rela.
tions and Armed Services Com.
mittees yesterday, indicated HI
would seek further information
from Mr.. johnson.
The Senate hearings are in re.
cess today. The House Foreign
Affairs Committee will begir
hearings on the arms program
Monday, with Mr.. Acheson as the
first witness, while Secretary
johnson is before the Senators.
May Face Harder Fight.
Meanwhile there were some in
dicationS that supporters of pres
ent foreign policy may face a
harder fight on the bill as a result
of Secretary Acheson's prediction
yesterday that the United States
may have to spend more than the
present 81 billion a year for mill
tary assistance to North Atlantic
treaty nations in the future un-
less the international climate i'm
proves.
Senator Smith, Republican. of
New Jersey. q supporter of close
cooperation with other like
minded nations. said he thinks
yesterdays developments will
make 1t more difficult for him and
other Senators who support the
mutual defense program to get 1t
through Congress.
Questioned by Senator Smith.
1t was a question from Senator
Smith that brought Mr.. Acheson's S
candid forecast that this country
may have to spend more rather
than less on defense in the i'm
mediate future unless there Is
a very considerable change in the
international climate and actions
of certain other powers. :"
II am not clear what we are
getting by these vast expendi-
tures." Senator Smith said later.
1T seems to me that we call the
tune and have to pay almost all
Of the bill. I want to know how
much heat we have put on these
European countries to make them
help pull themselves out"
Chairman Connally of the For
eign Relations Committee indi-
Gated he was surprised by the
statement about larger outlays in
the future.
The discussion yesterday re-
lated chiefly to the 81 billion ear
marked for the North Atlantic
area. The remainder of the bill,
1922 500, 900, includes assistance
for Greece, Turkey Iran and
areas in the Pacific.
The Senate committees prob
ably will complete their hearings
next week, but it will be some
time before the arms program is
debated in the Senate.

Drive Pushed for Vote
On Home Rule Bill

A new drive to force a House
vote on the Kefauver home rule
bill was in progress today.
About SO supporters of the
measure went to the Capitol yes
terday and today to try for the
final 40 Congressional signatures
on petition that would bring the
bill to the House floor.
Tilford Dudley, assistant direc-
tor of the CIO Political Action
Committee. warned it would be
more difficult to get the remaining
signatures than it was persuading
the first 178 signers. Signatures
of 218 House members are needed
to get the bill out of the House
District Committee where it has
been tabled.
Lloyd Cutler Of the Washington
Home Rule Committee suggested
the campaigners warn Northern
Republicans they may lose Negro
votes by refusing to sign the
petition.
The new drive is sponsored by
the Home Rule Headquarters Of
the Central Suffrage Committee.
A meeting yesterday in the Car
lyle Hotel. at which the drive was
planned, was attended by repre-
SentatiVeS of the American ASSO-
citation of University Women, In
dustrial Union Council, Sons of

Citations and other civic groups,

Draft Boards Report
Many Youths Late in
Signing Each Month

The Is District local draft
boards are now registering 18-
Iyear-olds at the rate of 400 a
month. but survey today showed
around rs are late signing up each
month.
Col. Walter s. Welsh, chief of
the manpower division and legal
adviser to the District Selective
Service organization, pointed out
the draft law requires youths to
register within five days after they
reach their 18th birthdays, despite
the fact none is being drafted at
present.
"Registrants also are required
to notify their local boards of
changes in address or any other
changes in their status" Col.
Welsh declared. I'VE have been
having a great deal of difficulty
because of the failure of regis
trants to notify us when they
move. Returned correspondence
indicates that more than 500 of
the $1,000 currently registered
here have failed to give such no
tification."
He pointed out that changes in
status of registrants frequently
means a change in classification.
Thus, a registrant who marries
automatically is moved into an
other classification.
THE law provides stiff penalties
for those who fail to register upon
reaching 18 and fail to notify
their local boards on changes" he
said. However. we have not
pushed any cases."
He said SO per cent of those who
have registered here have been
