Govt. Ends First Half Fiscal Year 7 Billion In Red

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov- ernment wound up the first half of this fiscal year $7,467, ,242,215 in the red-a deficit of about 13 times as big as that for the same period last year-the treasury re- ported.
 With defense spending up al- most 300 per cent, the deficit was the biggest ever at the half-year point, except for all -,out war years.
 The deficit stood almost exact ly where Secretary of the Treas ury Snyder had estimated it would be for the full year. Heavy income tax payments in the next few months, however, are now expected to reduce the year-end deficit to about six billion dollars.
 The national debt at the end of December 1851, stood at $259, ,460,- 778,794, compared with $256,731,- 304,988 a year ago.

British Newspapers
Picture u. 5. as Cool
To Churchill Visit
By the Assecicted Press

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Some Brit
ish newspapers are picturing
Washington as preparing a cool
reception for Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill for fear he will go
home with Americas shirt.
The independent London Times
and the independent liberal Man
chester Guardian both report
from the United States the pro-
posal of Senator LANCER, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota that two
warning lanterns be hung in the
belfry of the old North Church in
Boston to herald Mr.. Churchill's
arrival.
"The Senator need not have
really been so worried" cabled
the Washington correspondent of
the Times.
"The administration has been
hanging out lanterns by the
dozen for the past two weeks.
Hardly day goes by without one
department or another providing
Ia little about something it ex-
poets Mr.. Churchill to demand
and which he is not going to get.
about some stiff questions he is
going to be asked or some policy
that is going to be, thrust down
his throat"
Changes Since War.
The conservative London Daily
Telegraph In a story from Wash
ington said Mr.. Churchill will
find that both the climate Of
opinion and the machinery of
administration in Washington
have radically changed since he
was last here as prime minister" :"
I'm brief, there is no Roosevelt
and there is no war; the Tele-
graph added.
1T will be difficult to establish
the same kind Of relationship
with President Truman as with
President Roosevelt because Mr..
Truman's manner of work and his
approach to the task of Govern
ment are radically different.
Under Mr.. Truman, control is
not concentrated at the central
point Of the White House to nearly
such a strong degree" ="
Superstition Persists.
Alistair Cooke. writing from New
York for the Manchester Guar
dian, said:
There may not be as many
dangers in the United States as
Senator LANCER would like to
think, but the superstition is very
tenacious that an incoming Briton,
however seedy and barefoot on
arrival. always leaves for home
wearing the stolen silk shirt of
his host.
/ "And the thought of Mr..
Churchill's resuming the old war
time practice of round-table diplo-
macy and with such a cheerful
innocent as Mr.. Truman strikes
panic in great numbers Of Re-
publicans."

Swing To COP By Five Crucial Northern
States In Nov. Is Predicted By Newsmen

EDITORS note: This is the first

political situation as of now, as

political writer's in all 40 states.)
BY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
NEW YORK R,-Five politically
potent Middle Atlantic STATESMEN
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland and Delaware-are ex-
pected by editors and political
writers at this stage of the cam
paign to go narrowly Republican
in November as they did in 1913.
An Associated Press survey,
based on county-by-county and sec
tion-by-section estimates of edi-
tors and correspondents, indicates
there is a composite belief that
if the election were run off now,
Republican presidential nominee
Dwight d. Eisenhower would roll
up bigger margins of victory in
most of these states than Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
did four years ago.
Even so, the margins still are
so slender that Maryland and Del
aware must be considered doubt
full, although they are regarded as
fitting toward the COP at this
point.
Campaign developments could
upset present calculations as to
winning margins and easily toss
any of these states to the Demo.

venson of Illinois.
The los electoral ballots of the
five states represent nearly one
fifth of the total of 531 and almost
two fifthS of the 266 needed to
win the election
In no other area of the country
is there such a concentration of
political power. And through two
decades of political history the
states have shown remarkable uni
formity in their voting records.
In 1932,New York, New Jersey
and Maryland went Democratic
while Pennsylvania and Delaware
voted Republican. But in every
presidential election since, all have
voted alike-Democratic in 1886,
1910 and 1914; Republican in 1948.
Four years ago, however, the
COP took New York and Maryland
because Henry A. Wallace and the
Progressive Party drew votes
away from the Democratic ticket.
Eisenhower's personal popular
ity was secribed generally as a
more forceful factor in the cam
paign than time-for- a-change SEN
timent and such specific issues as
high taxes and corruption in gov
eminent.
Here and there, editors noted that

MAN.ON-THE.STREET WRINKLES BROW
OVER POLITICAL HOW AND WHY

No wonder the man-on-the-street wrinkles his brow
in trying to find "why" and chow" things
happen in politics. such as for instance the announced
reconciliation between Eisenhower and Taft.
The Citizen readers know how Governor Dewey's
steam the Republican convention fattened Taft
and the resentment Tafmen expressed against the flat

ing the contest over the Taft and Eisenhower delegates
from Texas and Louisiana, reminded Dewey that he had

vaded large group of Dewey's patronage-conrolled
delegates While the "Star Spangled Banner" being
sung during the Taft demonstration, commentator in
the Mutual booth sad
"That's going little too far Some of the New York
delegates have refused to stand while the Star Spanged
Banner is played
Ed Lahey close friend of Taft interviewed Taft at
great length while he vacation. Lahey said that
Taft would insist being assured that Dewey would not
be appointed secretary of state before Taft would pub
licy support Eisenhower adding that Taft wanted
commitments from Eisenhower sin writing" But Taft, af
ter his talk with Eisenhower told he had not
asked for any commitments in writing.
Those conflicting statements spawn the yes-no of
politics yes to you and to somebody else Adla Stew
aptly characterized the Eisenhower-Taft elbow

"The spectacle of the candidate who the nomi-

to conclude that he changes his views get knd

Let us consider Eisenhower's changed views the

The ''prowler" hullabaloo can
easily turn into something resembl-
ing a Salem witch hunt. Before it
is over, l expect to see innocent
men beat up or jailed.
Most of the women in town are
showing better judgment than the
men. The ones I've talked to say
that ''peeping toms" can be elimi-
mated simply by drawing window
shades and using a modicum of
common sense in the way one
dresses.
AS for rape, more men believe
such a thing is possible than wo-
men. Seven out of eight women
with whom l talked felt that most
rape cases were mis-named. Unless
the victim is knocked unconscious,
they felt that a woman holds bet
ter than even chances of discour-
aging her attacker.
All eight of the women said that
they think women themselves are
often guilty of encouraging attacks
through ignorance-walking around
half-naked, flirting around bars,
and otherwise conducting themselv-
es in an "unladylike manner.
1t was easier to talk to men on
the subject and l questioned about
