Whdt;It:Meons: Taft Budget Cut Problem By CLARKE BEACH WASHINGTON A large cut in thp Federal budeet such as Sen ator Taft has proposed wdild not be a mere fiscal operation, annoy ing to government bureaucrats. It would necessitate major changes in national policy regard ing such vast programs as federal aids to agriculture, reclamation and development of public power. Con gress itself would have to shoulder the responsibility. The Ohio Republican leader ad vocates a federal budget between 25 and 30 billion at least seven billion less than the budget which it is reported President Truman will recommend for the coming fis cal year. Taft has not detailed how he .would bring expenses down to his figure. Why It's Difficult Purely administrative expenses of the government amount to only $1,9 billion in the current fiscal year. This covers the payroll, office supplies, building rentals and ud- keep, travel expenses, etc. A 20 percent cut here would reduce the bill by only 380 million. Obviously enormous reductions must be made In other categories if seven billion is to be saved Thp choice must be among these items, which comprise the Budget Bu reau's breakdown of fedrt-al expen ditures in the current year: Veterans' Program . $6,200,000,000 Refunds on Taxes ... 1,800,000,000 Public Debt Interest 5,000,000,000 National Defense ' .. 18,500.000,000 Agriculture Aids .... 1,200,000,000 Social Security 1,200,000,000 Public Works 1,000,000,000 General Expenses . 1,900,000.000 International Finance Looking For Missis iv, B ....

Smilingly he hazarded that finding means to establish a refuelling station or platform outside the earth's at mosphere "is merely a question of time." "Man could ride the V-2 now." Von Braun said. "The main trouble is how to get him down." Ludwig Roth, 37-year-old designer-engineer, told newsmen he thought it possible that "in ten to 20 years we may go around the world in rockets." Von Braun related he first had the idea of going to the moon in 1930 after readine a bonk on HouiH i fuel rockets by a Professor Oberth. He organized a private company ; two years later which built small primitive rockets and made 85 test launchings at an old World War I ammunition dump near Berlin. In 1932 the German Ordnance depart ment became interested and the ' experiments became official secrets from then on.

This was announced by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson in a state ment saying that additional extra allowances may he possible later in 1947. Consumers got ration allowances of 25 pounds this year, including grants for canning. They will get at least 30 pounds next year if present plans turn out. Anderson also announced that quotas of industrial users such as candy makers, bakers, ice cream makers and soft drink bottlers will get an additional 10 per cent of the quantity they used in 1941. These users now are limited to between 50 and 60 per cent of their 1941 usage. YULE BOMB KILLS MAN THE HAGUE (AP) A bomb wrapped as a Christmas gift ex ploded in the living room of a Hague family last night, killing 48-year-old Frans Boer and seriously injuring his wife. Three other per sons were slightly hurt. Police said they had no definite clues upon which to work 4,200,000,000 Total $41,000,000,000 Included in "national defense" is the cost of terminal leave pay for enlistod men. amount in a in :m,4UU,uuu.U00 "International Fi nance" includes foreign loans. These items are not continuing ex penses. What Can't Be Cut The veterans' program, tax re funds and interest are considered by fiscal, authorities as "uncontrol lable,", not subject to reduction. Nor could most of the expenditures under social security, such as un employment relief and retirement allowances, be altered. Budget pruning must be applied, therefore, to one or another of the programs administered by the va rious departments if savings are to be made. Since all of the departments' work is done by specific authoriza tion of Congress, it is rnnm which must decide which program is 10 De eliminated. A glance at the Interior Depart ment budget shows that about half the total consists of construction projects such as extension of Bonneville power transmission lines and the billion-dollar recla mation program in California further Complications In the Agriculture Department budget the chief items are agri cultural research and the various crop adjustment activities, de signed to aid the farmer to increase his income. The largest expense n the latter category already has been eliminated crop subsidies. Congress could whittle on such activities as the forest service Which controls forest fires main tains roads, etc. In the Commerce Department Congress would havp to curtail or eliminate such agencies it, me weather Bureau, the Coast ana ueodetic Survev the of Standards, the Census Bureau or me civil Aeronautics Author ity, tne department's stntiot.Voi and informational services for busi ness are minor items. Some of the administrators definitely oppose a blanket cut, reducing the budgets of all agencies on a flat Dercpnt. age basis. This would hnv th effect of spreading their fnnHe thin, they say, and reducing effici- wouia preter to see some of the agencies p)iminnt0 entirely. As for the larpoet cinoi u - &c llClil in the federal hurisef- noimr.ni fense, a sham redurti Otl .tflfiPa would necessitate a complete re versal in our military and inter national policy.
