President Truman says his 1949
budget is “even more realistic and
hard-boiled than the budget of
1948.” It could be that and still be

The first item in the federal bud
get should be for interest on the
national debt which the President
estimates at 5 and one-fourth bil
lion dollars for next year. The sec
ond item should be for debt retire
ment. Under present budget prac
tices, if there is anything left, part
of that may be used to apply on
the national debt.

Avoid Balkans In
Training Flights
WASHINGTON, (&)— B-29 su
perfortresses are flying training
missions from American bases in
Germany to the Middle East.
Their course describes a careful
half circle to avoid the politically
delicate area of the Balkans.
However, the giant bombers do
fly over Tel Aviv in Palestine on
their way to Dharan in Saudi
Arabia.
That huge wartime base is be
ing used as a terminus by agree
ment with the Saudi Arabian gov
ernment.
The B-29’s make the 3,600 mile
jump non-stop, headquarters of
the Strategic Air Command said
yesterday.
The flights are part of a general
training program designed to give
air crews experience on long trips
under various climatic conditions
and to familiarize them with re
mote routes. The number of B-29’s
making the hops to the Middle
East is comparatively small.
