claims that every time there is a
Stalin scare this country spends
another billion. The present bud
get, he went on, is a good one and
as tight as it can be made. De
fense outlays are budgeted at
$13,911,000,000 in the pending ap
propriation bill, with an amend
ment calling for an additional
$350,000,000 mainly for air power.
Asked whether White House
mail shows a growing concern
among the American people over
communism and whether com
munism will be a factor in the
coming elections, Mr. Truman re
plied the people are always un
easy about an organization that
believes in overthrow of the
United States government by vio
lence.
He said he does not believe
there is any unusual trend in the
direction mentioned by the re
porter.
In response to questions about
the Florida primary, Mr. Truman
said he does not regard the defeat
of Senator Pepper as a defeat for
the Fair Deal or the Administra
tion. He said there were certain
issues in the campaign that had
no bearing on the national pic
ture.
Asked if he had invited Sena
tor Taylor (D.-Idaho), vice presi
dential candidate on Henry Wal
lace’s Progressive Party ticket in
1948, to ride his special train as
it crosses Idaho on his coming
tour, Mr. Truman said he had not.
He added that he would be hap
py to shake hands with Taylor
when the Presidential train goes
through Idaho.
On other subjects:
The President took another dig
at Senator McCarthy <R.-Wis. for
his charges that the state depart
ment is a haven for communists.
Asked about McCarthy’s recent
attack on former Secretary of
State Marshall, he said anything

Will Not Cut Taxes
On Liquor
i -
l WASHINGTON, (JP), The House
Ways and Means committee yes
terday voted against any cut in
federal taxes on whiskey and
beer.
Working away on a proposed
tax-cutting bill, the committee
turned thumbs down on motions
to—
I
1. Reduce the $9 a gallon liquor ,
tax to $7.50 a gallon. This would
have trimmed federal revenues by
$200,000,000. The whiskey tax was
raised $3 a gallon during the war.
2. Cut the $8 a barrel beer tax
by 50 cents a barrel. If approved,
this would have relieved beer
drinkers of about $40,000,000 a
year in taxes.
No proposal was made to re
duce wine excise imposts.
McCarthy said is not worth com
menting on.
Mr. Truman laughed when he
was asked to comment on a state
ment by Harold E. Stassen, pres
I ident of the University of Penn
sylvania, calling his the “cleverest
politician and the worst Presi
dent” in the nation’s history. Mr.
Truman said that was quite a
statement but he had no comment.

along the lines of a plan given a
successful trial last year at Hoop

The program calls for improve

be used by the AHA to buy and
take necessary materials to the
villages and to instruct natives in
methods of construction.
Actual construction work will
be done by the natives and funds
will be repaid by the family over
a six-year period. Legal require
ments limit loans to $500 each.
Construction projects approved
by the AHA included: Palmer, 25
single units; Cordova, 12; Dilling

j desire to get low rent housing
projects under construction soon
