For instance. there is a Chevro-

Plans for Expanding
Armed Forces 10 Go 10
Truman About Dec. IS

Plans for boosting the size OF
the armed forces in the next fisca,
year. including the proposal fol
a larger Air Force. will be laic
before President Truman for ap.
proval around December Is.
A top Defense Department Of
f1cial, disclosing this yesterday
said that when Defense Secretary
Lovett first presented the Joint
Chiefs of Staff military program tc
the President, the Chief Executive
asked for cost estimate before
passing on it. A National Security
Council meeting was devoted to the
subject.
Therefore. the Army. Navy and
Air Force have been asked to
ascertain what they can buy under
five separate. sets of figures-rang-
ing from $45 billion to an unlimited
shopping list" The latter totals
less than $100 billion.
No Dollar Ceiling Yet.
1t was emphasized that no
dollar ceiling has been clamped
on the armed forces plans now
OF equal consideration with the
financial end. Is availability OF
raw material and production ca
pacity to produce almost over
night the guns necessary for a
greatly expanded force without
cutting down on the civilian econ
omy drastically. the top official
explained.
When the services complete
their cost estimates November 80.
Mr.. Lovett will prepare a COM
pleted budget with all the facts
and figures for Mr.. Truman.
Effects on Economy Feared.
The Joint Chiefs program in
cludes a plan for expansion of the
Air Force from its present 80
wings to some 143 wings in the
1853 fiscal period. Smaller in
creases in Army and Navy
strengths also are called for.
However, there is now some
feeling among top offlcials-after
conferences with defense mobiliza-
ton chiefs-that such a program
would too drastically affect the
civilian economy and it is now
believed the target date for its
accomplishment likely will be
pushed ahead. All plans now being
Imulled over call for a continued
increase in production.
While officials decline to guess
the total which Mr.. Truman will
ask for the military in January,
they report that the armed serv-
ices still have vast amounts Of
spending money on the books. It
is expected to total $82 billion
on December !.

addition they believe the Govern
ment formula should cover in
creases in living costs arising since
the negotiation of last labor
management contracts.
The plan of the public men,
bers would eliminate the Janu-
ary Is, 1850, base date for f1gur-
ing allowable pay increases. The
old control formula permits in
creases up to 10 per cent over
levels of that date.
Exempted Industries Studied.
Labor members of the board
want the increase ceiling raised
to at least Is per cent over last
years levels.
Meantime, the WSB's specia
panel on exempted industries be.

whether to continue to contro
wages in industries which art
specifically exempted from prict
control in the Defense Act. TheSt

others.
The wages of 8 to 10 millio1
workers were stabilized during
World War II even though mos
of the exempted industries wer'
free of OPA control. Rates O.
many are fixed by other regula
tory bodies, however.
The American Newspaper Guile
yesterday urged the panel to un
freeze the wages of newspape
workers because publishers ar,
free from price controls.

Meanwhile. George M. Harrison,

MIR. Harrison was scheduled to

to walk out of jobs in the defense

pared for Mr.. Harrison's Office.

With a drag line we dig a ditch

We dump the trash and garbage
in the ditch, tamo It down with a
bulldozer and cover it with two
feet of earth. Within two years it
disintegrates and becomes land;
good growing land. Yesterday we
filled about u feet of the first
ditch. Our area out there will
provide refuse disposal for five
years. And, we have another area
the same size But after only two
years we could start over on the
first area.
Each time we fill, it raises the
land about two feet. So, the end
of Fleming Key will take care of
the Nays refuse dumping for
many. many years. Eventually it
would be possible to extend the
Key further, pushing out into the

The one mistake this member

to the pastor and to the sisters

should be prayed for and prayed

ninety and nine sheep to seek the
one that had gone astray?
Was not the church erected for
the sole purpose of helping the

you, cast the first stone"
