House Slashes Billion
Off Budget, but Drive
For Economy Lags
BY the Associated Press

House budg t-cutterS had
reached the 81 billion mark today
in their drive to cut as much as
| 10 times that amount from Pres
ident Truman's 1852 fiscal year
budget.
At the rate they are going. they
will fall far short Of their maxi
mum goal. The House already has
considered budget estimates of ap-
proximately $25 billion. Mr.. Tru-
man asked $94 billion for the
year starting July /.
Defense Cuts Unlikely.
There now is little likelihood
of substantial reductions in the
military appropriation bill, which
embodies about $50 billion Of the
total budget.
But Republicans leading the
economy drive hope to make deep
slashes in some foreign-aid spend
ing programs. These programs
may be Jumped together in sin
gle bill totaling about $11 billion.
The fifth of the regular de-
partmental money bills passed the
House yesterday. 1t finances the
Agriculture Department. None of
the five has cleared the Senate.
Agricultural Slash Voted.
For the Agriculture Department
the House voted $717,295, ,233, a
12.5 per cent cut from the $780,
0O5,546 Mr.. Truman asked. A
large part of the $102,710,313 re-
duction was only a bookkeeping
saving. 1t involved the cancella-
ton of $32.7 million in depart
mental obligations to the Com
modify Credit Corp.
Added to the bill, as to other
departmental measures this year
was the amendment of Repre-
sentative Jensen, Republican, OF
Iowa to limit the number of job
vacancies that may be filled dur
ing the next fiscal year.

Key Westers Can
Donate Blood
All Day Wednes.

Major Earl Dillon of the Amer.
lean Red Cross, announced today
that our fighting forces in Korea
have exhausted their supply of
blood plasma. This does not mean
that they are short of the quota
they should have or that the sup
ply is low. It means that they
have none left of the stockpile
which remained to the nation after
the second World War.
Fighting men have been taken
from the front line to give blood
to desperately wounded men who
without a blood TRANSMISSION could
not live. We should never permit
this to continue. 1t is beyond rea-
son to expect our boys to shed
their blood in our defense and TO
replenish it without our help.
The American Red Cross is col
lecting a quota of three million
pints of blood by July /, 1851.
Some of it is being flown to Ko-
rea as whole blood, The Labora-

the tribute of a resolution OF the

The association of Justice Rut-

of tracts of the sect. After the
