| House Hearings Open
| Tomorrow in Army
Finance Center Probe

A House Armed Services Sub
committee will open public hear
ings tomorrow on the military
phases of alleged irregularities at
the Army Finance Center at St
Louis.
The full committee agreed today
that a check on matters involving
military personnel at the center
should be undertaken. Repre-
sentative Kilday. Democrat. OF
Texas heads the inquiry group
named by Chairman Vinson OF
the full committee.
The new investigation will be
the sixth into allegations of Com
munist inf1ltration. muddled rec
ords and overpayments to military
dependents at the center.
A House Civil Service subcom-
mittee, in a report last week,
sharply criticized the center's
operations. This group, headed by
Representative Karst, Democrat,
of Missouri will continue looking
into civilian affairs at the big
Army finance Offices.
Mr.. Karst's group and the
Army, which also is conducting
an investigation. have said no
evidence of fraud has been I'M
covered thus far. The FBI. the
General Accounting Office and the
Civil Service Commission also
have been in on the inquiries.
The center employs $500 civil
ians. 1t handles allotments for
of Army and Air Force
personnel.
Mr.. Karst's subcommittee said
GAO had reported around $157
million in overpayments to de-
pendents but that most of this &C.
CURED in wartime confusion. The
Army contends all but $35 million
of this sum has been accounted for
or Strengthened out. The Army said
the amount Involved is a small
fraction of the $40 billion han
died by the center.
Mr.. Vinson named Representa-
tive Short of Missouri, ranking Re-
publican on the Armed Services
Committee, to be an ex-officio
member of Mr.. Kilday's subcom-
mittee.

Bridges Sees 1917 Cul
In Budget il Decided
By Majority Ballot

A prediction the Senate will GO
for a 10 per cent cut in most of
next years budget if the issue can
be decided by majority vote was
made today by Senator Bridges
Republican, of New Hampshire.
He said the big stumbling block
is to draft the percentage cut
motion to avoid a ruling by the
chair that 1t Is general legisla-
ton. Under the rules. general
legislation can be tackled on an
appropriation bill only by two
thirds vote. He admitted the
economy bloc cannot command
two-thirds.
The ranking Republican on the
Appropriations Committee agreed
some items would have to be ex-
empt from a percentage cut. such
as interest on the debt, veterans
benefits, tax collection personnel
and the FBI. The barrier lies in
the difficulty of providing these
exemptions without having the
amendment classed as general
legislation.
Senator Bridges estimated that
the Senate could knock about So
billion from the bill after allow
ing for the exemptions. He did
not make it clear whether these
savings would all be in addition
to approximately 81 billion al
ready cut from the 500 billion
omnibus bill in the House.
Although advocating balanced
budget for the coming year, Sem
ator Bridges took the realistic view
that it will not be achieved until
"the American people refuse
handouts in the knowledge that
there is no such thing as some
thing for nothing"
The Appropriations Committee
will begin in few days to review
the omnibus bill. To achieve COM
plete balance in the coming year
the Senate would have to chop
off about 81 million in addition
to cuts already made by the House.
Most observers are convinced
no such economy move is likely.

CAR DANGERS
IN WINTER
Car Owners Are Reminded Of
Dangers From Carbon
MOnOXide Gas
SOME INSTRUCTIONS

With the advent of cold weather,
We are reminded of the dangers
from carbon monoxide, the deadly
gas, which kills quickly, without
warning if in large quantity. Even
in small quantities, it may induce
drowsiness or dizziness, causing a
fatal inattention on the highway.
Fresh air is the one sure safeguard
against it. After driving in sum-
mer with the windows open, we
cringe under the icy blasts of ear
ly winter. According to the Della
ware Safety Council it is well to
keep in mind some of the following
precautions to safeguard against
this deadly enemy:
1. Before starting your automo-
bile engine, open the garage doors
wide.
2. Never crawl under your car
while the engine is running.
8. Keep the engine in good con-
dition. with combustion as COM
plete as possible, by frequent in
spection, adjustment and repair.
4. Make sure that all parts of
the manifold, exhaust pipe and the
muffler do not leak.
5. Be doubly careful to prevent
gas leaks through a manifold car
heater.
6. Never drive with all of the
windows of your car closed.
Z. Sleepiness while driving may
indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide. Stop at once, get out
and walk about in the open air;
then drive with windows open.
8. Avoid following other auto
mobiles too closely; their exhaust
contains carbon monoxide which
may easily drift into your car.

women. It is right that the
amendment be passed, she stated,
as this is a basic principle of hu-

national Business and Professional
Women's Clubs took a stand in
favor of this amendment as early
as 1887. The speaker was intro
duced by Miss Florence Lurty, leg
islation chairman, and the response
was made by Mrs. Howard Dea-
kyne, president. The program for
the meeting of Monday, February
