Truman Says Slash In Farm
Budget Offers Threat Toll. S.

Kansas City—Prisident Tru
man challenged Congress Satur
day to'restore House cuts in farm
and* interior appropriations,
which he said presented a "grave
danger” of weakening American
world-wide resistance to aggres
sion.
Speaking to comrades of the
35th Division after an active day
in which he led them on foot in
a colorful parade he declared g
strong domestic economy was
necessary to support the nation’s
global commitments.
The House cuts in Agricultural
Department funds brought the
blunt assertion "our entire farm
program is endangered fey recent
legislative action.”
And the observation:
“I would be gravely concerned
if any effort to undermine our
farm policy were successful.”
The United States, he said, is
becoming a “have not” nation
with respect to many minerals
and is “short of copper, of steel,
of lead, and of many other cri
tical materials,” even as it con
fronts a “danger of a shortage of
petroleum products.”
“I earnestly hope that the Sen
ate will not follow the House of
Representatives in cutting our
conservation, reclamation and
power programs back to the lev
el of a decade ago,” he said.
Speaking of these and of the
farm cuts, he added at another
point:
“I sincerely hope that on care
ful reflection and consideration
the Congress will provide the ap
propriations necessary fqr these
projects and services which are
designed to provide a better, ful
ler life for our people and a
more stable, productive economy,
for our nation.”
One Arrested On

Alan Anderson, of Bluefield,
W. Va., was arrested here Fri

by Deputy Wade Hoppers. In a

he was fined $10 and costs.

and was released following pay
ment of check and cost of ac
tion following a hearing before
G. Glenn Nichols, Monday.

patterns that feature gathers or

Vo]
sey does not hold a press, avoid
pressed pleats.
Cutting out.—Before laying on
the pattern for cutting, fold the
jersey along one center rib with
toe right sides together to pre
vent curling edges. Use both pins
and weights to hold the pattern
in place.
Stitching.—When the fabric is
cut, run a line of stitching along
tut edges which tend to stretch
using a longer stitch and looser
tension than on most other fab
rics. Sew from bottom up when
basting and also when stitching
to prevent a downward stretch.
Pressing.—Press jersey lightly
on the wrong side, lifting the
iron from place to place rather
than pushing it along. This helps
prevent stretching seams. *,
£ Reinforcing.—The waistline of
a jersey dress always needs re
inforcing to prevent stretch and
sag, Stitch twilled cotton tape
or seam binding under the waist
line seam. Shirtwaist type dres
ses also need to have collars, cuffs
and front edges reinforced to
hold their shape. Use thin, light
weight cotton fabric between the
two layers of jersey.
. Buttonholes.—Bound or two
piece buttonholes are best for
jersey, Worked buttonholes are
likely to stretch or even ravel.
