Senator Bridges of New Hamp-

said he is shocked to find that

1T is even more shocking to
find that instead of cutting non
defense items the President actu-
ally asks Congress to provide in
creased amounts for non-essential
programs" Senator Bridges said
adding:

that this Congress will not indulge
in such unnecessary items as So

Senator McCarran asked. Does
this budget mean a continuation

Korea? Before it acts on the ap-
preparation requests. Congress will
demand full information on these
and other questions
Welfare State Ideas Seen.
Senator Welker, Republican. of
Idaho, elected for the first time
| last November. said the Presi-
dents budget apparently is aimed
toward putting into effect "the
welfare state theories that were
Irepudiated at the polls last
November.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, of
New York and Representative
Roosevelt, Democrat, of New
York, said in a joint statement
that the Presidents inclusion OF
a 50 million item in the budget
for preliminary work on the
Niagara development project "is
a recognition by the executive de-
partment of the vital Importance
of this project for expanding de-
fense and mobilization needs"
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the Republican Policy Commit
tee. declined comment on the
budget until he has studied it
further.
However, he said last week that
S65 billion budget is about as
high as the country can go and
still develop enough taxes to bal
ance outlays. Even then, he said,
price-wage controls probably will
be necessary to fight off the in
fation caused by big Government
spending.

'Adenauer Rejects Bid
OF Reds for Unity
BY the Associated Press

" H'o rNSsoStdtOb F'SeS
BONN, Germany, Jan. 15.-
West German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer today rejected the East
German Communist offer to ne
gotiate on reuniting divided Ger
many.
In a statement to the press
broadcast simultaneously by West
German radio stations. he
charged that the Soviet zones
Communist regime was the pri-
mary cause of the German East
West cleavage. The Russians. he
said, were forcibly preventing the
unification of the country under
free and democratic conditions.
He said he could not talk to
the East Zone regime. because
the Communists had shown by
their actions that they were not
legitimately entitled to talk about
German unity.
DR.. Adenauer said his "West
German" federal government
agrees with all Germans that
nothing will be left uninterrupted
in order to re-establish German
unity founded on liberty and
peace"
The federal. government can
however. only enter into a discus
sion on German reuniflcation with
those who are willing uncondi-
tionally to recognize and to guar
antee a regime based on the rec
ognition of law. a form OF gov
ernment which respects liberty,
the protection of human rights
and the maintenance of peace, =
he continued.

|0f 101 Billion Defense
Budget 10 Go for Arms
BY John A. Giles

More than half of the SAL bill
lion in cash and $50 billion in
contractual authority which Presi-
dent Truman estimated today for
the military needed in the 1852
fiscal year will go for the purchase
OF, arms.
Defense Department budget ex-
perts made this disclosure in dis
cussing the budget to prepare the
armed services for the task of
fighting the Korean war and pre-
pairing against possible Red at
tackS elsewhere.
The President emphasized that
the military phase must be tenta-
tive and that he was not making
detailed estimates now because
of the extensive planning" re-
quired. Actual expenditures. he
said, will depend on how rapidly
the military items for which Con-
gress votes funds can be pro-
duced.
Defense officials said it prob
ably would be mid-March before
a breakdown of the military bud
get would be available.
Defense Budget Quadrupled.
This was true also, they said,
with reference to the $40 billion
obligational authority which Mr..
Truman proposed for the balance
of the current fiscal year ending
June 80. That supplemental fund
would bring the defense outlay
this year to $52 billion.
Obligational authority is a grant
of permission to contract, the
money being appropriated later.
Mr.. Truman figured the mill
tary cash expenditures for this
year would run around $40 billion.
He noted that the world situation
had caused the defense budget to
be quadrupled over the original
$13 billion request this year.
"Our military requirements are
of several kinds" the President
said. I'VE must maintain and
supply our forces fighting in
Korea. We must provide modern
equipment for the expansion of
our Army. Navy and Air Force to
the present combined total of 35
million men. We must provide
equipment for training purposes
and for the civilian components
not on active duty. We must pro-
vide military items to our allies as
an essential part of our own de-
fense. We must build a produc-
ton base and material reserves
against the contingency of full
scale war"
Air Arm Expanding.
The Navy, he reported. soon will
have an active feet so per cent
above that of a year ago and the
Air Force, now expanding from
the original 48 wings to "a, will
add additional wings. 1t has been
disclosed that the air arm is NOV
ing toward 95 wings as rapidly as
possible.
Military budget experts eSti-
mated that so per cent of the $40
billion new obligatory authority
requested for the next Is months
would go for public works and
buying arms and that over half
probably would go for arms pur-
chaSeS.
Funds will be included for a
start on construction of the
Navy's new 57,000-ton super air
craft carrier and an atomic-pow-
cred submarine. they reported.
The Army and Air Force will
need large part of the construc-
ton projects. But there will be
no duplication of the large-scale
World War II camp construction
programs. Rather. the Army will
need new buildings at reopened
training camps.
The Air Force, with faster and
heavier planes, needs new run
ways to handle them and some
new airfields will be built for con-
tinental air defense.

Weekend Robberies,
Safe Crackings Net
$3.50 for Thieves

Holdups, robberies and safe
crackings netted thieves $1,890
here over the week end.
Ben d. Kin1pel, 35, State De-
parment employe, reported that
two men entered his apartment at
$40 Twenty-tir street NV. early
today on the pretense of wanting
to talk to him and then robbed
him of $140 and gold wrist
watch.
Police said Mr.. Kimpel told
them the two men hit him on
the mouth, then took the money
from his billfold, which was in the
pocket of a coat draped over
chair, and stole the watch from a
desk. The men left, police were
told, and Mr.. Kimkel walked to
Emergency Hospital, where he was
treated for cuts of the lip and ear.
In an earlier robbery last night,
police reported that tall, thin
colored man held up Enten's Mar
ket at 1718 Tenth street NV. and
took at least $54. The owner.
Jsadore Enten. So, said the thief.
armed with a 38-caliber revolver,
too $54 from his pockets and an
unknown amount from the cash
register. Then he was ordered to
lie down, Mr.. Enten said, and the
thief fed on foot.
Truck Driver Robbed.
A New Haven Comm truck |
driver, Charles P. Pickens, re-
ported to police that he went to
sleep in the cab of his truck early
Sunday morning and when he
woke up his wallet containing S96
was missing. Mr.. Pickens drives
for Allied Van Lines and his truck
was parked behind 1430 V street
NV. at the time
Two men, who were arrested
within three minutes after a
Highs ice cream store at 1411
Fourteenth street NV. was broken
into late Saturday night, have
been charged with housebreaking.
The two were booked as Raymond
Derr, 81. of the 100 block of |
Bryant street NV. and Willie .
Williams, 25, of the 1000 block !
of Thirteenth street NV, both
colored.

Safe Crackers Busy.
Like house-to-houSe canvaSsers, |
safe crackers visited three neigh
boring business places in the same
block over the week end, carried
off $1,000 from two of them and |
missed $4,000 in one they |
couldn't open.
Police traced their route this /
way:
At the E. Morrison Paper Co.,
1909 Pennsylvania avenue NV,
they punched the dial off safe
and picked up $3.50. Then they
went to the Kaufman Clothing
Co., at 1905 Pennsylvania avenue, /
where they knocked the dial and
handle off a burglarproof safe
containing the $4,000. but that
was as far as they got. I,
The next visit took them to the
Star Radio Co., at 400 Eleventh !,
street N.W.-just around the COR
ner from the clothing store
where they took $3.50.
Two other safe-robbery attempts
were reported to police over the
week end. one at the National
Brick g. Supply Co., Inc, at Terra
Gotta, and the Acme Iron Works,
1910 Mount Olivet road NE.
Chief of Detectives Inspector
Robert V. Murray said he attrib-.
utes the two successful robberies
to IAN experienced safe cracker,
but that amateurs probably are
responsible for the unusually large
number of safe robberies over the

Mr.. Acheson and These GUYS

Many Americans, watching the San Francisco
Conference on television were we'll impressed by
Secretary AcheSonS performance at San Fran
cisco. There has been much favorable comment
on how we'll he handled a role that contained
such risks, of which Senator Knowlands gracious
tribute in the Senate is an example. The thought
must have occurred to many observers, remem-
bering the unrestrained criticism from his fellow
Americans which he has suffered as Secretary of
State, that in San Francisco Mr. Acheson had
put himself on the spot and had come through
with flying colors. No such diplomatic drubbing
as Mr.. Acheson administered at San Francisco
has been suffered by Soviet Russia since the
beginning of the cold war.
Would his triumph at San Francisco have
helped him here at home? It might, if the
President had been content to test the theory
that actions speak louder than words. But the
President, boarding his airplane at Kansas City
for his return trip to Washington, could not let
well enough alone. His comment that Mr.. Ache
sons conduct at San Francisco proves that he
is lot smarter than any of these guys who have
been attacking him" is another challenge to
these guys to prove that they are smarter than
Mr., Acheson They will no doubt, accept the
challenge. Mr.. Truman is not one to pour oil
on troubled waters. He prefers gasoline, and
matches.

Quaint Custom on Appropriation Bills
By Froncis P. Douglas

MERE mention of appropriations
IVA usually is enough to touch off
heated debate on Capitol Hill, but ask
most any one there where appropriation
bills must originate and the matter-of-
fact answer is: "The House, of course"
IhlS dubious reasoning is based on
Section 7, Article I of the Constitution.
which says: "All bills for raising reve-
nue. shall originate in the House of Rep
reSentatives: but the Senate may propose
or concur with amendments as on other
bills. :"
Why the Senate should not display
such originality came up recently while
the Senate Expenditures Committee held
hearings on bill to create a Joint COM
mittee on the budget. The bill, reported
favorably and now before the Senate.
contains nothing by the way concerning
the priority of either branch on appro-
prlation measures.
The matter was raised at the hearing
by Fred A. Schuckman, director of the
D. c. Office of the American Municipal
Association. He was testifying as an
individual when he said
Under the Constitution revenue
measures must originate on the House
side
"The attitude seems to have grown
up that appropriation measures ought
to originate here and that the Senate
just takes a second look at appropria-
tions after the House has acted. That
appears to be the modus operandi fairly
widely accepted for reasons which I do
not think there would be any point in
trying to discuss here"
He added that he did not think it
necessarily true that the House has
sole right to originate appropriation
bills.
Mr.. Schuckman said later that a
couple of Senators exchanged surprised
glances at his statement, but that the
subject was dropped. He said the House
merely has squatters' rights on priority
on appropriation bills and that the
Senate has let its prerogative in the
matter go by default.
Under the conditions of recent
months, when appropriation bills were
begged down in the House. there is no
reason why the Senate should not have
gone to work on it's own bills to save
time" he said.
While the committee did not pursue
the subject in its hearings, it did print
two discussions of the subject in the
appendix to the printed transcript of
the testimony.
Oddly. one of the documents cited
quotes a House committee as holding
that the House does not have exclusive
right to initiate appropriation bills On
the other hand. a Senator argues that
the House does have such exclusive right.
Attention is called in the appendix to
excerpts from Kinds Precedents of the
House of Representatives. 1t is related
that in March, $780, Senate bill au-
