House Democrats, angered at
o reported presidential order
to hold Federal spending below
administration budget requests
for the new fiscal year, talked
today of applying some tighter
curbs Of thier own.
Representative Cannon, Dem
ocrat of Missouri, chairman of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee, told reporters this
committee is not going to rec
ommend more money" than
President Eisenhower plans to
spend land then allow him to
impound it,"
He accused the administra-
ton of "duplicity."
The row. which threatend
the administrations foreign
aid and other programs, also
launched Democratic moves to
head off what they limited is a
Republican attempt to get
credit for tax reductions next
year.
1857 Level Ordered
The storm blew up yesterday
after published reports that
Budget Director Percival M.
Brundage. at the request" of
the President. had directed
Federal officials to hold 1858
spending at the 1857 level,
about $40 billion.
The House Appropriations
Committee has virtually COM
pleted action on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's budget request for
$73 billion in new appropria-
tons. Budget estimates of
actual spending for the 1858
fiscal year totaled $71.8 billion.
Representative Cannon said
administration witnesses asked
his committee yesterday for
1858 appropriations for the
Atomic Energy Commission
amounting to more than half
q billion dollars above those
for 1857.
when we questioned them,
they acknowledged they had
been told not to spend more
than they did in 1857" Mr..
Cannon said, adding:
1T amounted to duplicity.
It's the most astounding thing
I've ever known"
May Demand Ceiling
Chairman Cannon said his
committee is considering adop-
ton of a resolution which
would require the President to
put a ceiling on Federal spend
ing. on terms set by Congress.

Worsham Inventor Wants Safer Cars
With Automatic Fire Extinguishers

For % years Robert F. Porter
field has had in mind an automa-
tic fire extinguisher for automo-
biles. just recently he has had his
invention registered in the U. S.
Patent office.
In about 1885 he saw wreck
near Appoma ttox In which five
persons burned TO death. Off and
on since then he has experiment
ed with various devices and fl
nally has perfected his plans on
an automatic fire eXtingusher,,
Working with Porterfield on the
mechanical details of the extin-
guisher was Ben Marshall, Negro
plumber who lives near Worsham.
When Porterfield got his device
worked out. he asked Marshall to
see what he could find wrong
with it, Marshall pitched in on it
and in short order, he and Porter
field had the bugs out of it."
The general idea Of the appara-
tus is that fire extinguisher is in
stalled in the car. under the hood
If the car is involved in a COLI
sion. the fire extinguisher auto
matically oes off preventing
fire before it starts.
It will also be tripped by excess
sive heat. Spraying the motor 70
extinguish any flames.
The davice is needed more
than ever said the Worsham in
ventor, because the octane rat
ing Of all gasoline has Increased
and dangers from fire are greater
than ever
Many Of his friends and neiglS-
bors have encouraged him in de
veloping the extihguisher. Mr.
Porterfield's l4-year son. Bob
Jr.. helped with the mechanical
drawing, and Mrs. r. wv. Carter
assisted with the tipping. The pro
fessional drawing well demon
strates the ability Of the younger
Porterfield in the realm of art.
Mr. Porterfield opened his store
at Worsham in 1947 Prior to that
he worked as purchasing agent at
Camp Pickett, He said his main
work has been in accounting. and
he has worked at several local
