$50 Billion Proposal
For Military Budget
Is Sent 10 Truman
Sum Would Provide
l43-Wine Air Force,
More Naval Planes
By John A. Giles

A 1858 financial year armed
forces spending program totaling
slightly in excess of $50 billion
rested on President Truman's desk
today.
If approved by Mr.. Truman and
submitted to Congress in the form
proposed, it would provide a 143-
wing Air Force-but at a later
date than the airmen originally
had sought. Initially the Air Force
had asked the stepup from the
current 95-wing program to 143
wings in about three years. Off
cialS refused to say how much
this time factor had been cut back.
The projected budget also calls
for some increase in naval air.
power.
1t also would provide for a start
on a program of building up the
Army from 18 to 81 divisions.
$50 Billion Granted for '52.
Almost $50 billion was granted
the armed services for the current
fiscal year, which ends June 80.
All the services have pledged new
attempts to cut down on the
chair corps" of workers at the
Pentagon and elsewhere and get
more uniformed personnel into
combat units.
There still are no estimates of
the cost Of the Korean war, a sub
ject certain to be of lively interest
on Capitol Hill. Officials, still at
tempting to come up with such a
figure, find themselves mired
deeper and deeper into cost ac-
counting, as they try to separate
the Korean costs from the over
all expansion program.
However, there is little doubt
that the rate of expenditures in
Korea has been enormous. And
a lot of the lost equipment and
material undoubtedly has fallen
hiOO CAlCLI1y IldIluS.
For instance, through Septem-
ber 81 a total of $4,000 bayonets
had been lost by the forces in the
field there. The forces also have
lost $500 machine guns.
300 Tanks Lost in War.
More than 800 tanks have been
lost in the operation. But during
the same period a total of ap-
proximately 900 tanks were manu-
factured in this country.
The tally also shows the loss of
some 1900 jeeps, approximately
5000 A-ton trucks and more
than 1000 21a-ton trucks.
The Defense Department has
some $79 billion of its own funds
and $l1 billion in arms aid money
on hand for spending from previ-
Gus appropriations. Thus, the
armed forces really won't have to
do much drastic slaShing in ex-
pansion plans during the next
year even with a budget about SO

Group Presses Fight
To Limit Federal Tax
To Is Pct. Of Income
State Assemblies to Get
Controversial Proposal
To Amend Constitution
Ry Cecil Holland

With corporate and individual
income taxes at record peacetime
levels. an intensified drive in a
13-year campaign is shaping up
for 1952-a presidential election
year-to impose a limitation on
Federal taxes.
Behind the drive are a number
of organizations and individuals.
One of these organizations-it
lays claim to spearheading the
movements the American Tax
payers Association with it's head
quarters here.
Many are Opposed.
Opposed to it is the full force
OF the Treasury, a number of
highly vocal members of Congress
and, for the most part, organized
labor. Opponents describe the pro-
posal as the "millionaires amend
ment." &
The goal of those backing the
proposal is an amendment to the
Constitution placing a ceiling on
peacetime rates applicable to in
dividual and corporate incomes,
estate and gift taxes.
The usual figure used by the
sponsors is a Is per cent limita-
ton. But hackers of the move
ment acknowledge, privately al
least, that they would be satisfied
to compromise for something like
35 per cent or even a 40 per cent
figure.
Little Attention Noted.
For a matter so controversial
the 13-year campaign and the
present drive in particular have
received surprisingly little atten-
ton from the public.
One reason is that the cam
paign has been waged for the
most part at the State level-as

Women Voters Lead
Men by IS Million,
1850 Census Shows
Account for Three-Fifths
Of Adult Population
Increase Since 1910

This may be ladies' year in the
presidential sweepstakes.
For the first time in history,
there are more potential women
voters than men in the United
States. There now are more vot-
ing-age women, in fact, than the
total Of voters in the last pre-
sidential election.
Adult women outnumber adult
men by over is million. It could
give an interesting twist to the
election results.
The Census Bureau is the source
OF these pertinent pointers fol-
the politicos. They turned up ir
the 1850 census, on which the
findings are still being compiled
And while they don't exactly war
rant expectations of a feminine
esident-yet-they may well

Women Lead Increase.
Tending to suggest the master

are these facts. ferreted out by
the decennial nose-counters:
The Nations adult population
(21 and over) rose 16 per cent be-
tween 1910 and 1850. But women
accounted for three -f1fths of the
increase.
Men once outnumbered women.
The new census showed the distaff
side numbered 49,556,137. The
men trailed at 47,860,228.
Women are preponderant in 80
of the 48 States. (They also
still dominate in the Capital

Their rate of increase, tops that
of the men in all States except
onezRhode Island.
Their rate Of increase nationally
was 18 per cent. For men it was
only 1879.
In one State, Arizona, the per-
centage OF increase was so. The
highest gain for men, also in
Arizona, was 47.
Ratio Is Upset.
A simple ratio sums it up. A
decade ago, there were 100 men
for 100 women. The new ratio is
96.6 men to 100 of their 'opposites.
Only four States east of the Mis-
sissippi stand ahead of the District
in the rate of feminine increase.
Two OF them are Virginia and
Maryland.
The increase in women here
since 1910 was 59.353, or 23.2 per
cent. That Of men was only &c.
54S, or 17.2 per cent. The 1850 to-
tails were 314,650 women and $685.
8S9 men. The total of both was
583 ,539. or nearly 100000 more
adults in the decade gain of
20.4 per cent.
Maryland 28.8 Per Cent.
Maryland's combined increase
amounted to 1.702, or 28.8 per
cent. Virginia's was 450,216. or
28.6 per cent. In both States the
women outnumbered the men for
the first time, although by a small
er margin than in Washington.
In percentage of increase, both
men and women, the District
ranks 18th in the Nation. Mary
land ranks 9Th and Virginia 9th.
Despite the steady population
gain, the number of voters ma
tionally has declined.
In 1910, the total was 40, ,820,312.
In 1948, it was only 48,833, ,680-a
drop Of nearly a million.
What the turnout will be next
November is anybody's guess. But
one thing is sure-the women
won't be missing.
Watch out, men. It's also leap
year.
