Warn Nations Of
Atomic Activity
(By Elton C. Fay)
WASHINGTON, (A') — The
United State* put all nation* on
notice today to keep their ships,
planes and people out of the Eni
wetok atomic weapons testing
area, starting one month from
now.
The state department was busy
relaying to embassies and lega
tions a formal warning from the
atom.c energy comm.ssion. In
someth.ng of an understatement,
that notice said ‘ hazards” will ex
ist in a 39.000-square mile area
surrounding the Pacific atoll be
ginning January 31 and “through
out the calendar year 1943.”
The total area is roughly half
that set aside for the Bikini atom
bomb experiments of 1946. How
ever, the commission’s announce
ment said that “if necessary,
warnings of any hazards outside
j the designated danger area will be
< given in the event that such dan
gers are created by activities con
ducted within the danger area.”
THE ARMS OF THE ORANGU
tan—“man of the woods”—are so
long that this ape can rest on its
bent knuckles while standing up
right, according to the Encyclo
paedia Britannica.

Budget Surplus
May Srrink In 1948
WASHINGTON. Increase 1
government spending and decreas
ed revenues during the next fiscal
year may result in a shrunken
budget surplus of as little as two
and a half bilhon dollars, govern
ment analysts said today.
The result would be far less lee
way for reducing the public debt
and cutting income taxes than has
existed during the current fiscal
year ending June 30.
The analysts who made the fore
cast explained it this way:
1. The administration hope- to
reduce domestic spending but its
plans for foreign aid would run
ot Xenno luauiujaAO? ictot au:
around thirty-nine and a half bil
lion dollars for the 1949 fiscal year
i compared with $37,000,000,000 to
$37,500,000,000 this year.
2. Meanwhile, even without a
cut in taxes revenues would drop
from well over $43,000,000,000 this
fiscal year to perhaps as low as
$42,000,000,000 next year as de
clines in incomes from such
sources as surplus property sales
offset possibly higher tax receipts.
These figures, which mirror the
situation confronting Presiden*
Truman as he prepares his'budge*
for submission to Congress in mid
January, could be altered sharply
by Congress.
