Rep. Taber Will
“Meat-Axe” Budget
- I
WASHINGTON, (A5)—Rep. John
Taber served notice today that he
will have his “meat-ax” ready for
the next federal budget.
It makes no difference to him,
the GOP lawmaker from New
York told reporters, whether the
occupant of the White House is a
Republican or a Democrat come
January.
Being a good Republican, Taber
said the has no doubt that it will !
be his fellow New Yorker, Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. But a budget is
a budget, the chairman of the
House appropriations committee
asserted and:
“Regardless of whose budget it
is, if it’s loaded with fat I’ll be
obliged to try to cut it.”
Taber himself uses the term
meat-ax when he talks of chopping
federal money requests.

tions of 25 per cent going into ef

Reds Capture
Vital Manchurian
Air Field
SHANGHAI, (A>) — Commercial
air lines pilots arriving here from
Manchuria reported yester day
that the vital Chinhsien airfield,
key to the Mukden airlift, had
been lost to Red forces.
The report was not confirmed
otherwise, but was plausible since
military sources in Nanking Mon
day had announced that advance
units of the communist drive in
the Manchurian Corridor were
I
probing at Chinhsien’s outer de
fenses.
China’s commercial airlines dis
continued use of the Chinyien
field and connecting services on i
the Kden airlift from Peiping and
Tientsin.
Loss of the air link was serious
blow to the Nationalist effort to
supply Mukden and keep open the
Manchurian corridor.
