Russell Predicts Difficulty In Budget Reduction

trim down the 1874 billion dollar
budget sent to Congress Jan. 8
by former President Truman. Ia
Der made no promises about a
balanced budget. His previously
announced goal: 10 billion dol
lar cut.
Declaring the Truman budget
was loaded with waste, ineffici-
ency and unnecessary expense"
Taber said, "Our aim is to elimi-
nate the padding ana squandering
and give the American people a
rock-bottom budget"
2. Taber's committee, it was
learned, neither expects nor wants
President Eisenhower to send Con-
gress a revisionof the Truman
budget.
Members don't want the PreSi-
dent to seal their thunder In the
field of reducing federal appropri-
atoms.
The committee is proceeding on
the theory that Eisenhower won't
prepare a new budget but will
direct his department heads to
scale down their money requests
when they testify before the COM
mittee.
Under that arrangement, the
committee could trim budget fig
ures of the former President and
claim credit for the savings-some-
thing it couldn't 10 if Eisenhower
had his own smaller budget.

much difficulty TO balancing the
budget. Eisenhower last week hint
ed that some substitute for the
tax might be found.
5. CLIO President Walter Reuther,
in a statement yesterday, accused
the Republicans in Congress of pre-
pairing a "phony tax package"
promising a 10 per cent tax cut
to the average taxpayer. I'm fact"
he said, there is no intention to
pass it at this session of Congress"
Reuther said an income tax re-
duction bill by Chairman Reed
(R-NY) of the House Ways and
Means Committee, already ap--
proved by that group, lis nothing
more than a smokescreen and a
diversion to cloak the fact that
the excess profits tax on corpora
tons will expire in midyear.
Sen. Russell said he believes
some saving could be made by
Tightening" the Service Unifica-
ton Act, principally by giving the
civilian heads of The services more
authority.
Because the military program
represents such large proportion
OF the budget, Russell said he does
MT believe the Republicans can
trim Truman's predicted SO, $780,
100000 deficit materially unless
they cut into that program.
I'm waiting to see where they
are going to find the 10 billion in
savings they will need" he OBJ
served.

By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON R-Sen. Russell
(D-Ga) predicted today the Eisen-
hover administration will have
difficulty reducing spending by
more than half a billion dollars
even if il squeezes all the waste
out of the military program.
Russell, former chairman of the
armed services committee, said
his intimate contacts with the de-
Tense program have convinced him
only a relatively small amount of
"fat" can be trimmed off OUTLAWS
in that field.
"Of course, we could cut mill
tary spending by 10 billion dollars
if we chose to do it, but / don't
know how much defense we would
have left" the Georgia senator
said.
As Russell spoke out in an in
terview, there were these other de-
velopments in the budgetary and
related tax fields:

the House Appropriations Commit.

squeeze every drop of water" out

MISS FULCHER HOSTESS
CATFISH CORNER CLUB

The Hemming Away Book and
Needle Club of Catfish Corner met
this week with Miss Filtrola Full
cher for the regular session of
sewing and book reviewing. In hon
or of the man for whom the club
was named, the book "Out of the
River and Into the Trees" was re-
viewed by Mrs. Pantalgrilla Pot
ter. Mrs. Fustilug Foster made a
talk on new yarns and old, but few
remembered if she was talking
about garments or tales. The Club,
which originally began as the Hem
ingway Book Club, was organic
ed by some of the girls home from
school years ago, but it had lag
ged by the wayside a long time, so
the members decided to combine it
with the Catfish Corner Sewing
Circle, and the slight alteration of
the original name of the book club
was in Difference to the old ladies
of the sewing cirscle.
Things haven't been too smooth
with the club, since the viewpoint
of the young women of the book
club and the old women of the
sewing circle stays so far apart,
so most of the time they just play
cards.
Guests of the club at this meet
ing were Miss Spottie Lee Spen-
GER of Wide Spot, Miss Honey Bee
Beasley of Gar Creek, and Mrs.
Castelano Carter of Cat Cove.
The house was attractively dec
GRATED in the holiday motif. Re
freshments served were pigs feet,
coffee, potted ham and pickles,
crackers and lemon pie. The re-
freshments were delicious and a
delightful time was had.

Fascinating as are the crea-
lures of the sea and the shells

.comber can't seem to make their
scientific names blossom with
life, especially when some of the
garden variety titles are so suit
able. For instance, what could be
more descriptive than ''lady's
ear" for those white, almost
transparent snail shells that do
$50 distinctly resemble a human
ear? "Toenail' shells don't seem
$50 perfectly named, for the deli
cate tracery on them is so min
ute, too fragile for even the low

certainly a 'lady's hat shell
looks much like a stylish straw

found whole and almost never
with both valves. Incidently, did
you know that this is said to be
the only beach in the world
where "lady's ears" are found?
