Snyder Says “Give
Aid; Cut Debt;
Keep Taxes High”
WASHINGTON, (^—Secretary
of treasury Snyder, said today the
United States should keep its bud
get balanced in providing any aid
for Europe under the Marshall
self-help recovery program.
Snyder said that not only would
he like to see Congress prov'de
revenues to cover any such aid
costs, but also allow enough mar
gin each year to apply something
for reducing the national debt.
For these reasons, the treasury
secretary said he is opposed to
any change in present taxes until
Congress decides how much aid
can be provided under the Euro
pean recovery plan suggested by 1
-ecretary of state Marshall.
Snyder told reporters that ne is
not proposfng that costs of the
plan necessarily be scaled down to
keep it within available budgetary
surpluses.
He said that he “wants revenue
provided” to cover the cost of the
aid—a statement that could be in
terpreted to mean increasing tax
revenues if necessary as well as
cutting down aid requests.

Communist Riot
In Paris
PARIS, oP)— Unofficial count*

night’s bloody head-cracking
street fight between Communists
and Paris police ranged today
from 40 to 300.

hours after Premier Taul Rama
dier opened his government’s fight
for life in the national assembly,
summoned into special session to
deal w'ith France’s vexing politi
cal and economic problems.
Communists estimated to num
ber about 35.000 responded to a
call in their newspaper L’Human
ite to break up an anti-communist
meeting in the Place d’Etoile,
sponsored by former Senator Gus
tave Guatherot.
They beseiged the ^meeting
place and broke through three po
lice lines and a wooden barricade
before police drove them off. The
meeting, attended by about 1,500
persons, was held and ended early
toay.
Estimates of the number injur
ed ranged in the Paris press to as
high as 150 on each side. An offi
cial police statement said eight
officers had been hurt.

were injured in the melee, many
of them being clouted by police.

Weather Man s Figures
Beat The Telephone
MINNEAPOLIS, (TP) — “Degree
day” charts, enabling more than
6.000 of the nation’s 10,000 major
fuel oil"dealers to work hand-in
hand with the weather man, are
bringing about home deliveries
before telephone orders are re
ceived.
A degree day, explains W. T.
McGregor, engineer for the Min
neapolis-Honeywell Regu 1 a t o r
Company, is the difference be
tween 65 degrees Fahernheit and
the daily average temperature. If
the average temperature for the
day is 45 degrees, the chart will
record 20 degrees for that date.
By keeping a close check on
the total number of degree days
between deliveries, fuel dealers
are able to determine just how
much oil or coal has been used.
