GOP spokesmen in congress forecast that instead of a deficit there actually will be a surplus of between $5,000,000,000 and 000,000. They said they look forward to the second half of the fiscal Ua year, beginning in January, for "intelligent and orderly fiscal man Li agement" under a republican president. Si Si In his midyear budget review yesterday, Mr.

Truman said the treasury will take in $40,654,000,000 and pay out $42,203,000,000 dur- Pd. ing the year ending June 30. He Hfl blamed increased spending and oh "ill-timed" tax cuts for the pre dicted deficit. The president acknowledged that the books may show a sur- plus of $1,500,000,000. But this, he said, will be only a "paper surplus" because congress set i aside $3,000,000,000 of last year's excess to help run the Marshall i plan.

'I Campaign Speech I Bridges charged the president with juggling figures "delibcr-" ately and for political purposes." The budget review is "just an-other campaign speech," he said. The president, Bridges said, was "making a political feint by conjuring up the spectre of decifit financing which has kept his party in power for nearly a generation." 1 Estimating revenue at 000,000 and spending at 000,000, Bridges came up with an "operating" surplufc of 000,000.

They made good newsrecl shots durini; the last war. You might get in the movies, too. this way. The rest of the day you'll be learning how to do a lot of things which every soldier has to know like handling a gun and getting lectures on such things as basic military regulations. At the end of the basic training you'll find the army just beginning to get interesting.

Many ot you will be sent overseas for occupation duties. There will be all kinds of service schools to go to. which are considered good duty. You learn all about radar, forecasting weather and a thousand and one other things. Or you might go straight to a tank or anti-aircraft outfit, or learn how to wade ashore on a beach.

There's one more important thing. Remember all the fuss about the so-called "caste system" just after the last war? You probably weren't much interested then and have forgotten about it. But the Doolittle board report which resulted from that fuss will make your life in the army better. The big dough and the career system you heard about are a couple of results. And you'll be able to associate with the officers after hours and a lot of other thinus which will make life easier, too.

Maybe this whole discussion has sounded like a recruiting spiel. It hasn't been. You're not being recruited. You're being drafted. Army life won't be all roses, for sure.

Hut anyway, best of luck, soldier. 1.000 to 1 Chance Prolong Baby's that the child would not live be yond the age of five. They said the condition could be corrected by surgery but there was only one chance in 1,000 that PameU would survive the operation. The doctors' information caused the Lampheres to quarrel bitterly. Lamphere wanted to risk the operation on the chance that the chilld might ge able to lead a normal, comfortable life even though she might die under the knife.

Divocre Asked Mrs. Lamphere preferred not to risk the operation. She wanted Pamela with her as long as possible. As a result of constant quarel-ing over the question, the Lampheres wound up in the divorce courts. When superior judge Walter R.

O'Malley heard their case, he faced the difficult task of deciding Pamela's fate because he had to award her custody to either the mother or father. The judge called in a board of medical experts Saturday to help him decide what to do. He asked the board to examine Pamela and determine what was best for her. The board is expected to examine her next Sunday. Meanwhile, however, Mrs.

Lamphere took matters into her own hands. She read in the newspapers of many children who had survived similar operations. Reporters brought one such child to visit her. That convinced her. On Sunday she decided to undergo surgery.

Changes Mind know now that there is hope for r.iy babe," she said. "I've made up iv mind she shall have the same chance as these other children But tiie board of experts told her to wait for their examination so they could determine that Pamela's kidneys are functioning normally. Meanwhile, Lampheres hopes were raised. He went to his wife yesterday and asked her to come back to their cabin trailer and live with She refused. "We've been separated before and this time it's for keeps, she said.

But Lamphere still was hopeful. He said "the door is always open for her and our baby." ivIOTOH (). I 111 (III lf.Vr IM such maki's as Thrust cell Airo Air-Ho Kite-pitch Tiss.

You can have some of that heavy sugar sent home each month, or applied on the best life insurance bargain you'll ever get in your life, the government's national service life insurance. About those raises, one of the biggest surprises the army has in store for you is a brand new deal called a "career plan." No army in history has ever had anything quite like it.

Remember your big brother telling you how a guy got promoted in the army during World war II? He probably had a couple of unprintable phrases to describe the process. Well, that's all different now. You qualify for most promotions by taking oral and written tests. Giving the lieutenant your best girl's telephone number won't help anymore. It's a question of study and work if you want more money, including getting a commission.

The chances are that if you have graduated lrom high school or have had some college work and really settle down to business in the army, you can pass the entrance test for officers' candidate school. If you are a bookkeeper in civilian life, you're probably convinced that the army will have you cutting meat in the commissary. Probably no draftee in history ever got a job in the service that be thought suited him. But this time the army will really try to put you where you belong. They've been working on a special classification of jobs for a couple of years, now, and have the thing worked out pretty wall, they think.

Now about the hours you're going to put in in uniiorm. You work 40 hours a week in the job you have now That's what you'll get in the army. You'll always get Sunday off and either Saturday or Wednesday afternoon off. At the end of your basic training you'll get a few days to go home and tell your folks all about it. For three hours each clay at first they'll give you marching.

He called this a "grave error." Millikin replied that the president made some "weird distortions in the report "to gain face for the blundering veto of now accomplished independent congressional Income tax reduction which is being enjoyed by more than 40,000,000 of our income taxpayers." County AA Starts Insurance Drive Agicultural administration leaders in Union county today began a four-week drive to inform a 4-week drive to inform Grande Ronde valley wheat ranchers of benefits under the new 104!) crop insurance program. E. H. DoLong, administrator for Union county, announced applications and information will be available at the county AA office.

He urged ranchers to visit his office to discuss federal crop insurance. The new insurance plan covers all costs of production of crops which fail including taxes, seed, improvements, labor, and weed and disease control.

The army promises a pleasant surprise, NEA'i reporter on the Washington military beat tells why in a limelv dispatch previewing army life, 1948 style.

By DOUGLAS LAHSEN WASHINGTON (NEA) At ease! you couple ol hundred thousand fiuys between 19 and 25 years old who arc about to be drafted. Don't look so scared. You've got a surprise in store for you. Army life, HMH-style, isn't going to be half bad. You might even enjoy it.

First let's have a tew words from your future commanding officer. Gen. Omar Bradley. He i doesn't say much, but he has a reputation for keeping his word: "The peacetime draft invests the army with a formidahblc responsibility to make good use of these years we are borrowing from your time. This we shall do to the best of our ability, so that not only the nation as a whole will benefit, but you, yourselves, will profit from your service." Let's get some facts straight right off the bat.

The chances are that none of you will get into the air force if you wait to be drafted. You miuht make "flv boy" by enlisting. And it's doubt ful if any more than a handful will get in the navy to see the world. The whole idea of this draft was to put more men in the army. The day you take that oath yon become the highest paid con-sctipted man in history.

Before you're worth a nickel to the army they give you $75 a month, probably more than most of you have ever had in your pocket at one lime. After your basic training, which will be eight weeks for the first bunch and maybe Ki weeks Liter, you're on your own as far as getting raises.
