The budget cut announced in Washington will reduce Indiana's annual share of Federal Security Agency's hospital fund from to $1,908,751. Budget Director Frederick J.

Lawton said the fund cut will limit the number of new hospital projects which can be accepted during the 1951 fiscal year. It will not delay projects already approved. A State Board of Health official estimated the 27 projects already planned in this state would call for more than $12,500,000 in federal funds. Included among the community projects are additions to present buildings and also new hospital construction. The state heretofore has been allocated $3,800,000 annually for hospital aid.

To be eligible to participate in the program, communities had to match the federal aid, complete plans for the project and advertise for bids. In Indianapolis, plans to obtain federal financial aid for the proposed east-side hospital suffered a jolt. Since the project still is in the exploratory stage, no request for funds has been made. A spokesman for the Indianapolis Medical Society, strong advocate of the new hospital, asserted: "By no means will the possible loss of federal aid slow this project. The hospital is needed and is bound to come regardless of how it is to be financed." nating political considerations.

A spokesman for the state organization said there have been cases where gambling syndicates have put up the money for the clubhouse operation in return for gambling concessions.

Sometimes they provide the slot machines, get half or more of the profits and share in other gaming enterprises. "We don't want our posts tied up with gambling interests," the spokesman said, "for it seems that the posts never get through-paying back the original financial obligation." Department Quartermaster-Adjutant Carl Miller said all except 15 or 20 posts have returned the questionnaire. Most of the replies were "satisfactory," he said, although some posts refused to answer until they were told more about the purpose.

Letters sent out by Department Commander William Cox, Jasper, who is prosecuting attorney for DuBois and Martin Counties, request specific reports on the number of machines being operated by each post, information on ownership and how the profits are distributed.

Although department headquarters has promised that the information will remain confidential, it is understood some post commanders are hesitant on making written reports on the operation of illegal devices that are contraband under state law and mere possession is a misdemeanor. Such reports might be seized by law enforcement agencies, they point out, and used against them. The purpose behind the state survey, is was said, is to free VFW posts from the influence of gambling syndicates. Inasmuch LAKE SUCCESS, X. Oct.

In a major address to the convention, United States Senator George W. Malone Nev.) accused Acheson of "stupid incompetence" and demanded he be removed from office. He scored the administration's foreign policy with particular emphasis on the Far East and Korea. "The handling of the Korean threat is but another instance proving the unfitness of Mr. Acheson for his high position," Malone said.

outgoing national executive committee has recommended Acheson's dismissal. And National Commander George N. Craig has said the State Department chief should go because the American people have lost confidence in him. The proposed resolution, one of 800 dumped into the hopper, came up in the committee report on foreign affairs. Communism was attacked in reports today of the Americanism and oher committees.
