WASHINGTON, {/P)—[The num
ber of workers drawing jobless in
surance pay fell off 57,000 last
week, the first drop in a month.
This decline brought the total
down to 1,980,000 during the week
ending May 7 as compared with
2.037.000 for the preceding period.
But the federal security agency
said Friday the number of newly
laid-off workers filing claims for
unemployment compensation rose
from 322,100 to 354,000 in the
same period.
Before last week’s drop in job
less payments, the agency noted
that for three weeks there had
been a steady increase. Despite the
decline the May 7 total still was
775.000 higher than in the same
period last year.

Tax Committee
Predicts Three
Dollar Deficit
(Continued from Page One)
cries today for more economy and
more taxes.
The estimate was made for the
Senate-House tax committee by
its staff of experts.
They forecast a “moderate”!
business slump. They figured that |
in the fiscal year starting July 1
it would result in cutting the gov
ernment’s income by $2,100,000,
000 and adding that much to the
$900,(500,000 deficit predicted in
President Truman’s budget.
“That,” said House Democratic
leader McCormack (Mass.), “is all j
the more reason for increasing |
taxes by $4,000,000,000, as Presi- j
dent Truman repeatedly has sug-1
gested.”
In the Senate, however, Senator |
Russell (D.-Ga.) announced that j
he and some other Democratic
members of the appropriations
committee are drafting a bill to
slice about $3,000,000,000 off fed
eral spending. Russell said their
plans were started even before the
report of the tax experts was is
sued. Senator Maybank (D.- S. C.) j
suggested the $5,580,000,000 Euro
pean aid program as a good place
to cut.
Senator McKellar (D.-Tenn.),
chairman of the Appropriations
committee, said he would “rather
cut government exenditures than
raise taxes.”
Chairman Doughton (D.-N. C.)
said he doesn’t want to be put in
the position of warring with the
President. And he wouldn’t fore
cast what his committee will do.
But he said his own position is
well known.
“When it looks like we are go
ing to spend more money than
we’ve got,” he said, “economy is
in order and important.”
There are three courses open,
Doughton said:
1. Cut appropriations; 2. Boost
taxes; 3. Resort to “deficit financ
ing,” which means going deeper
into debt to pay for government
Will Introduce Air
Lines Subsidy Bill
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Chairman
Edwin C. Johnson (D.-Colo.) said
today the Senate commerce com
mittee is working out a bill to sep
arate airline subsidy from actual
mail pay,
“The bill will authorize funds
for a complete study by the civil
aeronautics board (CAB) of sep
aration of a compensatory mail
pay and subsidy which we hope
will result in a formula for getting
the job done,” Johnson said.
The committee is now conduct
ing an investigation into airline fi
nances and operating efficiency.
Johnson says it wants to know
•why so many lines are operating
in the red.
Johnson told a reporter the com
mittee bill ought to be ready this
week. He predicted that it would
be non-controversial and could be
passed by th^Senate as routine,
without debate.
The study, he said, will require
several months and no estimate of
the cost has been made.
Johnson has insisted that a sep
aration of compensation and sub
sidy in the mail pay is essential to
obtaining a true picture of the fi
nancial condition and operating ef
ficiency of the air carriers.
Air mail rates now are set by
the CAB and paid for by* the post
office department. The treasury
post office spending bill, approved
by the Senate last week, con
tained an $87,061,000 item for pay
ment of the costs of carrying mail
and subsidy to the commercial
airlines.
Mrs. W. Nay. of the Alaska Air
lines returned home Saturday on
a special flight of the Alaska Air
lines which brought in a load of
mail, freight and fresh meat. She
has been in Anchorage for about
a week.
I expenses.
And. he said, the responsibility
for the choice rests on all the
members of Congress, “not on Bob
Doughton and not on Harry Tru
man.”
