!. PVT. EUGENE A. DUvALL.
By J. A. o'Leory

Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia, announced yesterday
he is going over President Eisen-
hower's $685. billion budget for
next year in search of the $2.9
billion of savings needed to end
deficit spending.
The Virginian, who heads the
Joint House-Senate Committee
on Essential Expenditures,
suggested three steps he believes
would go far toward achieving a
balanced budget in the year
starting July l:
/. A deeper cut in foreign eco
nomic aid than the President
recommended.
2 A substantial reduction in
the force of 1862 civilian en-
ployes overseas.
3. Require contractors building
defense bases in foreign countries
to hire as much of the labor
as possible at the scene of the
construction.
Borrowing Is Alternative.
The Senator directed his COM
mite staff to make a careful
check of the entire budget for
other economies and is confiden
it will not be difficult to bring
the outgo down to income.
Gen. Eisenhower estimate OF
a $2.9 billion deficit was based on
estimated tax collections of $62.7
billion. The President made 1t
clear this assumes retention of
about $2.3 billion in corporation
and excise taxes due to go down
April / unless Congress extends
them.
II think they should be ex-
tended" said Senator Byrd.
while I want tax reduction. it
is more important to balance the
budget first. The alternative
means borrowing money to cut
taxes"
Senator Byrd said he is con-
WINGED the cost of overseas bases
can be reduced sharply by re-
curing the contractors to rely
largely on local labor.
Cites Excessive Costs.
The Senator said that when
bases were being built in North
Africa some men were paid 81 900
a month to run bulldoZers. He
said local labor could have been
obtained for much less.

$2.9 Billion From SIS BUDGET

The Senator pointed out that
the United States is now plan
ming to build bases in Spain, and
he expressed the hope that the
Defense establishment will pre-
vail on the contractors to take
advantage Of the cheaper labor
force available in Spain.
Senator Byrd also made it
clear he will continue to oppose
the Presidents request for an
increase in the $275 billion pub
lie debt ceiling. He believes that
if Congress holds the line against
authorizing a higher debt the
Government will have to reduce
spending.

'Skaying' Democrats
Banned From Spring
Primaries in Alabama
BY The Associated Press

-t i s
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. %.
--Alabama's Democratic Execu-
tive Committee today sharply
raped the knuckles of Demo-
Gratis who strayed from the fold
In the 1852 presidential elections.
They were banished as candi-
dates from the party's primaries
this spring under a new loyalty
pledge rammed through over Wig
orous protests from States
Fighters.
The resolution prescribing the
loyalty oath carried. 1919, after
a clash of tempers which at one
time almost burst into violence.
Stronger Than Some Thought.
1T proved to be even more far
reaching than most committee
members had expected. The
pledge also expels from the pri-
maries any candidate who
failed or refused" to vote for
the Democratic presidential
ticket in 1852, as well as those
who voted Republican.
To be sure that it covered
those who declined to vote for
the Democratic nominees for
presidential electors. the authors
worded it to include any others
who "willfully. Intentionally or
purposely refused to give aid and
support" to all party nominees.
Some Of the States Fighters
who opposed the resolution ar
gued that mere support of the
State ticket was sufficient, re-
CARELESS of the presidential cam
paign.
Clash Over Traitor
The near-fight developed in
a heated exchange between
Robert w. Gwin Of Birmingham,
who favored the resolution, and
Joe G.. Burns of Tuscaloosa. who
opposed it.
Mr.. Burns had suggested
earlier that anyone who puts
his party above his country
should be shot as traitor"
Mr.. Gwin replied that Demo-
Gratis could be guilty of treason
to their party as well as their
country. With this Mr.. Burns
bounced up and stormed toward
the stand. shaking his fist and
saying angrily. You can't say
that to me. Don't you say it.
You used to be my friend. Now
you are my ex-friend."
After Chairman Ben F. Ray
Of Birmingham stilled the out
burst. the committee adopted
another resolution Offering an
olive branch to .dissident Eisen-
hover Democrats.
The resolution invited all who
believe in 1.-THE great principles
Of our party" to come in the
primary as voters regardless of
ANY vote cast or any affiliation

Also approved was a reSolu-

JeWeIer Can Drill
Hole in Hair Strand;
Makes Tiny Objects
BY the Associated Press

~ the AssoeIutod Press
MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 2S.-How-
ard p. Adam, Milwaukee jeweler
can drill a hole In q human hair
and thread another hair through
it.
But he doesn't do it to collect
bets,
He does 1t to impress students
In clock and watch repairing at
the Milwaukee Vocational School
with the necessity for careful
work and patience,
| Mr.. Adam teaches at the
school. His hair-threading feat
has proved useful in teaching
would-be jewelers. not to give up
easily when working with tiny
objects. he says.
Mr.. Adam made the drill he
uses, starting with a piece Of
tool steel about the size Of a
darning needle. He hardened
and tempered it and then put
a drill point on one end. The
point. with cutting threads is
much finer than a normal needle
point. The threads are necessary,
he explains. because you can't
puncture a hair without splitting
it; the hole actually must be
drilled.
His drill complete, Mr.. Adam
jerked q hair from his head and
started to work. It took hours,
the first time, before he found
out how. Now he can do it,
usually. in less than a minute.
Mr.. Adam enjoys working with
tiny objects. He has made hun
dreds of sterling silver spoons 70
thousandths Of an inch long.

Delivery of
 Junk Mail' Ends Mar. 3l, 20. Rules

WASHINGTON, R-Postmaster General Summerfield announced Thursday that city and town de- liveries of junk mail' will be discontinued after March 31, 1855.
 Such deliveries of what the Post Office Department calls "simpli- fled address mail" were estab- lished on an experimental basis Is months ago. The system allowed distribution on selected routes of advertising material addressed to simply householder" "patron," or "boxholder," without specific street address.
 The experiment, which had been tried previously by the Dem ocratic administration, resulted in numerous protests that the result clogged the postal system.
 Rep. Murray D-Tenn), who is slated to become chairman of the House Post Office Committee in the new Congress assembling next week, said recently he had told Summerfield that unless junk mair' deliveries were stopped, his committee would take steps to outlaw it.

COMMUNICATION
To The Nome Nugget:

I would be grateful If you will correct the impression given in Wednesdays paper that I am in favor of an annual dog tax of $500 for males and $1O.00 for females.
 I think those fees are too high. My own recommendation would be the annual fees charged in An chorage: S2.OO for males, $500 for females. In the case of working dogs, teams actually used by their owners for hauling, I would be in favor of no tax, or nominal one of $1.00 and S2.00.
 If all owners of pet dogs are required to pay an annual tax, it is my belief that the money thus collected should be used exclu- sively to help control the rowing bands of underfed homeless strays. To that end we need dog catching equipment and the part time services of a man whose duty it is to corral the strays, the half wild dogs so hard to capture by usual methods. The packs of hun gry stray dogs that roam our streets are a menace that should be considered no less seriously than the menace of fire or of criminal action. In Unalakleet I saw a grown man attacked by seven dogs. He was down in the snow within seconds, with his leg bitten through to the bone, and unquestionably would have been killed if others had not been pres ent to pull off the dogs. In cir cumStances like this, a child's life would not last for one mo- ment.
 A pet, well fed and accustomed to kindly treatment, is not often a hazard, but Nome must control the strays, many of which are the offspring of other strays and nev- CT have had a chance to develop friendliness towards a human be- ing. Such dogs can't be shot in the streets-the danger to human life is too great-but they can be held in a pound for several days and then, if no owner claims them, they can be disposed of humanely
 The new ordinance, which will provide a tag for every licensed dog, will assure owners that they will be notified if their pet dogs are captured. But the tax should not be so high that owners of working teams could no longer afford to keep them.
 Yours truly,
