C. MONDAIi, JANUARY 8, 1951 Scott Budget Message Set For Tonight Governor To Address Joint Session; Will Ask High Taxes By WADE LUCAS Record Correspondent RALEIGH, Jan.B—Just how much more money Governor Scott will ask for tonight when he addressee a joint session of the General' Assembly at 8:30 o’clock than will be recommended by the State Ad ■ visory Budget Commission had most legislators and observers frankly puzzled today. Governor Scott last Thursday told; the lawmakers that it is ’ obvious'’ the State will need more money during the 1951-53 biennium begin ning next July 1, and tonight he is slated to tell them just where they can get the money, so he thinks, in' event they want to go along with him. Legislators seem generally agreed with the rather common belief that inflation brought on by the national and international crises is primarily responsible for the rather sharp in creases in State general and road funds collections. But they are equally agreed and also fearful that this situation may not continue and that placing of federal controls on wages and prices may deal a body blow to revenue collections. SOME CONSERVATIVES This’correspondent has repeatedly predicted that the advisory budget commission, whose membership in cludes such outright conservatives as Gaston’s Senator Grady Rankin, and , Representatives Frank Taylor of Wayne, newly elected Speaker of (Continued On Page Five) Man Stabbed By Daughter - Jack Matthews, 48, of Dunn, Route 2, is In the Dunn Hospital sufferlrg with stab wounds which he told officers were inflicted during the weekend by his daughter, Mrs. Jessie Ruth Molar.

B—(UP) —Little Carolyn Joan Purcell flies tomorrow to Rochester, Minn., for examinations at the Mayo Clmic which m&y make up her mother’s mind about a death-or-blindneas operation. Word that Mayo would make room for the four-year old child was brought to the parents shortly after a special prayer service here yesterday. Mr. and. Mrs. Frank Purcell and 100 parishoners prayed together that whatever is done, will be the right thing. The Rev. Herbert Lawson asked God to “direct the heart of the mother in making the final decis ion.” Mrs. Purcell has been unable to decide whether to let doctors re move one or both of Carolyn Joan’s eyes, which are afTected by cancer. Specialists said the surger .vas the only way to save her life. The father was willing to do what his wife said.

Last year, Harnett producted only 7,000 bales, which was 10,000 bales less than the amount produced in 1949, which meant $2,000,000 less in come for farmers of the county. The call for greater production came today from County Agent C. R. Ammons, who pointed out that more cotton is needed to meet civil ian and military needs.

B.—(UP) President Truman ..told Congress and his countrymen today that the sole hope of peace lies in rapid buildup of the free world’s ability to wage “a full scale war" of defense against Soviet Russia. Only by bending all efforts to ward such a buildup of power, the President said, can w# hope to make the Soviet rulers “lay aside their plans to take over ths world.” Declaring that Russia has tipped her aggressive plans in Korea and in the United Nations, where she refuses to "live and let live,” the President said we must get ready “for full wartime mobilization, if that should b e necessary.” He presented a program calling for expansion of weapon production to 50,000 military planes a year and 35,000 tanks a year. He said we must be ready “on short notice” to produce all the modern arms and supplies “that may be needed, fbr a full scale war.” NO APPEASEMENT In a grim State of the Union message delivered in person to the new Congress and via radio to the nation and the world, Mr. Truman offered again “to negotiate honor able settlements” with the Soviet Union. But, he said, “we will' not engage in appeasement.” The President, speaking against a background of defeats in Korea and soaring tensions eleswhere in Asia and Europe, devoted almost all of his 3,500-word address to the Soviet menace and the military re quirements for meeting it. He all but buried his “Fair Deal,” dOßjestic program. He said Congress should keep it in mind. But many ShJhgs “We would normally do;’, he said, “must be curtailed or post poned.” 10 POINT PROGRAM Mr. Truman presented a 10-point general program calling for higher taxes, more control authority, more money for the military, extension of the draft, more arms and economic help for free nations, and revision of farm and labor laws. He said he would present the details in special messages later, in this week’s econo mic report, and in his budget mes sage Jan. 15.
