VOLUME 53 R u s s ia n Bid To Jo i n A x i s U .S . B U D G E T C U T S P R E D I C T E D German Records Show Refusal To- Pay Soviet Price SENATE - HOUSE GROUP PLAN ON 3-WAY SLASHES By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (IP) — Congressional Republican* moved in with axes today against Presi dent Truman’s budget, while House Democrats laid plans to do some chopping of their own on the GOP tax reduction bill. The budget-cutting task w as as signed to the 102-man Senate- House committee set up two years ago to clamp a ceiling on federal expenditures. The tax-pruning job was in the hands of Rep. Doughton (D- NC), top minority member of t' 1 House Ways and Means com mittee which is backing the GOP measure to cut between $5,600,- 000,000 and $6,500,000,000 from the national tax bill. Doughton told reporters he has drafted a plan to trim taxes only $4,000,000,000 — but by fol lowing the general lines of the Republican legislation rather than the substitute urged by President Truman. The President has suggested a $40 person “cost of living” tax cut to be made up by an excess profits levy on corporations. However, both Doughton and Ways and Means Chairman Knut son (R-Minn) propose an increase of $100 in the present $500 per sonal exemption, thereby strik ing an estimated 6 , 000,000 low rolls. Both, too, call for general ap plication of the community prop erty principle which allows hus bands and wives to split family income for tax reporting. Thus holding their tax computations in lower brackets. Knutson's bill provides for re ductions ranging from 30 per cent in the lowest brackets to ten per cent in the highest. Doughton’s calls for trimming 15 per cen from taxable income up to $ 1 , 000 , and only five per cent on that part of a person’s income over $4,000. Incomes be tween the $1,000 and the $4,000 groups would receive cuts rang ing from 10 to 15 per cent. The House may get a chance to vote February 2 on which bill it prefers, but the Knutson plan has the biggest followings as of now. Doughton told reporters he wants three kinds of cuts — in government spending, the debt and taxes. “But we need to know how much spending and the debt w ill be cut before we cut taxes.” GOLD STAR MOTHER BECOMES C IT IZ E N — Mrs. Stella Le- wtandowski of Lyndhurst, N.

Food Shortages May Force Russia To Ship Grain into East Zone JACKIE HORNE WANTS‘FUN AND NORMAL LIFE’ By EDW IN DRESDEN, Soviet Occupied Saxony, Jan. 19 (Delayed) I#5)— A difficult food situation may force the Soviet Union to ship grain into the Russian occupied eastern zone of Germany, which is being woven into a co-called Molotov plan of economy for eastern Europe. “Soviet officials think they will have to import grain from the Soviet Union, but a final decision I has not yet been reached.” Maj. j Gen.

It has visited waters about Greece where the United States is help ing the Athens government com bat Communist aggression along * her boarders facing the Soviet zone of influence. Truman Would Speed Seaway Plan Action . WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (IP)— The proposed St. Lawrence sea- \way project was described by President Truman today as vital to the national defense and to the economic welfare of the United States and Canada. Mr. Truman told reporters he probably will send a letter next week to the president of the Sen ate and the speaker in the House in support of the legislation, which has been pending for years. * FAR TA S T 'M A R SHAL PLAN ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (IP)— Speculation mounted today that an industrially revived Japan mtgh-tbe-mftde the center of an eventual \Marshall plan” for the Far East. Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy said Today the $330,000, 000 a year, fcurden on American taxpayers to sustain Japan’a c i vil la s economy, niust be lifted. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (ZP) — President Truman said today he is sure there will be an announ- 1 candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in ad vance of the party’s convention. The president, in a gay mood, refused at his weekly news con ference to let correspondents pin him down on the man he has in mind. In any event, he said there will be one before the D emocratic national convention, which opens in Philadelphia July 12. Someone suggested he used the word \one.” Mr. Truman replied that everybody in the United States has a right to be a candi date ih either party. Or a third party?” asked a reporter. Or a third party ticket, the president said. He laughed loudly but said .e had no comment when he was asked whether Henry A. Wallace might fellow the example o f A. F.

Whitney endorsed. the president Tuesday after his first White House call since he threatened to work for Mr. Truman’s defeat after the railroad strike in 1946. BIG SNOW COST MILLION NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (IP )— The Long Island railroad’s efforts during and after the Dec. 26 snowstorm cost the line $ 1 , 000 ,- 000 \and all the bills aren’t in yet,” an official of the road told the ’ Public Service commission yesterday. The estimate of costs occasioned by the' record 2 &S-Tnch- snowfall came from the Long Wand's superintendent, Eugene L. Holman. Only a few of the world’s Wtetti nm okl i^ a geolofcic sense. SHANKE pondents to tour the Russian zone since last June. This is the first lime the Rus sians have spoken of shipping food into their zone. Their army lives mainly on German food, particularly perishables, and the American and British licensed press in Berlin have accused the Soviet Union of exporting train loads of German food eastward. For the first time, too, the Russians revealed how eastern G ermany is bein drawn into the Moscow' scheme of- economy, af ter turning down cooperation with the Marshall plan for Euro pean recovery. To meet a« “very bad” situa tion, raw materials are being drawn not only from Soviet Rus sia, but also from Poland, Czech oslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, Russian officials said. Most of the finished ' products processed from these materials are exported eastward as repara tions. Emphasizing that so' far the ration has befen fully met, Gen. Dudarov stated that “drought hit Saxony especially hard, and the crop last fall was as low' as 50 per cent o f normal in some seg- ions. As everywhere in Germany, you can’t say the Germans are being well fed.” Except for bread, many Ger mans disputed the R ussian claims the ration is being met. “The ration is only on paper,” some Germans said. Others claimed the distribution of meat and fat often was late, and that frequent substitutions, such as fish for meat, w ere made. It appeared the food situation on the whole is no w orse than in the western zones. While the Russian officers con ducting the tour denied a black market in food exists in fhe east ern zone, Germans said most of their wages were spent in illegal markets. , SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. .22 (IP) —Jacqw i ne Horner, 15-ycar-old Hollywood piano prodigy and act ress, proposed today to compro mise pleasure and the keyboard after an eight-day flight that brought worldliness into her cloistered life. “I w ant to have fun and live a normal life,” said the rich girl who ran away from fame and career after a spat with her motn- er. She was found here yesterday in a hotelroom witth Seaman se cond class, Wallace Wells, 19, Hood River, Ors., after a nation wide search. Jacquiine said she w;as con sidering going heme if she could have more freedom. However— “If I don’t get my way in some things, I ’ll run away again.’’ As a result of Jacqueline’s pur suit of fun Wells and Mrs. Jean Costello Miles, 22, were charged with contributing to the delinqu ency of a minor. The juvenile court held Jackie as a material witness. District attorney Edmund G. Brown said Jacqueline met Mrs. Miles on a bus and lived w ith her a few days, during which sailors visited them. Then, he said, Miss Horner left w ith Wells. Brown quoted, the attractive young musician as saying Mrs. Miles taught her to pick up sail ors in bars, encourage them to drink and earn herself rebates from bartenders. She and Wells said there was nothing improper in their relat ions, and several police question ers said they seemed to be telling the truth. Her m other, Mrs. C lara H orner, who collapsed at her Los Angeles home when informed Jackie had been found, remained under he care of a physician. By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (AP) — The United States u n corked a major propaganda blow against Russia today by revealing a S oviet offer in 1940 to join the German-Italian- Japanese Axis at a price Adolf Hitler refused to pay. Already the government's information mouthpiece to the world, the “ V oice of America” shortwave radio, is pouring into Russia and the rest of E urope the factual story told in a fat volume of long-secret German foreign office records sud denly published by the S tate D epartment.

This country's propaganda in tent appears plainly to be to counter Russian charges of Am erican “imperialism\ and “dom ination” aboard with evidence to show the kind of game Rus sia was playing and the expand ing ambitions she had in Europe and Asia during the time Sta lin was willing to do business with Hitler. By comparison with the Krem lin's objectives then, the record since the war ended with Russia cn the Allied side shows that Stalin has succeeded during.the past 30 months in establishing a much vaster sphere of control than he ever had demanded of Hitler.
