The death of the 64-year-old Haywood, who was hailed in some labor circles as "Mr. CIO" and recognized as an achiever of unity within his own ranks, follows those of Phil Murray, former CIO president, and William Green, late president of the American Federation of Labor.

Murray and Green died last November. Lost to Reuther Haywood, who rose from a coal mining pit in England to the CIO's second ranking job, recently lost a bitter fight for the presidency of the vast union. Believed to be heir apparent to Murray's leadership, he was defeated in his bid for union control by Walter P. Reuther. Haywood was re-elected vice president.

Upon learning if Hay wood's death last night, Reuther said in New York: "The CIO and the entire nation have suffered in the deatlf of Allan Haywood, a grevious loss. He will be mourned by the millions of trade unionists, at home and abroad, who knew him, respected him and loved him for his constant devotion to the common cause." A. J.

hasl. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 trial balloon on a' military spending cut but nobody knows where it will land, Requests for a special appropriation of $1,200,000,000 for the period ending June 30 were denied last week. Instead, the. House told the services, with at least their partial agreement, to use money already on hand but earmarked for other purposes and to make some savings.

Twin questions still remain unanswered: did the House actioi. ac tually save the taxpayers more than a billion; if so, can-the same method be used to make the reductions needed to balance the budget and cut taxes? Other cuts were made in the special appropriation bill, but the action on military fund's attracted most attention. Congress agrees that any important budget-cutting his year must be from military and foreign aid funds. The Senate Appropriations Committee begins hearings tomorrow on the total bill, which the House cut from $2,300,000,000 to $925,172,920. So far, there is no indication ment work' year.

agencies as "the ground for a balanced budget next "Our aim is to eliminate the padding and squandering and give the American people a rock-bottom budget," Taber said. Taber, chief spokesman for House foes of large-scale 'government spending, said a dozen task forces will study the requests of all federal agencies. The use of outside experts on budget studies was first tried by the committee during the Republi can 80th Congress, when 30 invest! gators were put to work analyzing spending requests. It Was Balanced Taber said the "results spoke for themselves. The budget was balanced for the first time since 1930." Since he added, Democrats have not availed themselves of this technique.

"Operation Economy" comes squarely in the middle of the "which comes first" controversy now straining congressional relations with the Eisenhower administration. The President has declared for a balanced budget as a preliminary to any reduction in taxes. On Capitol Hill, tax law writers led by Rep. Reed (R-NY) are standing fast for a 10 per cent cut in personal income taxes by June 30, whether the budget is balanced or not. Tito Accuses Reds, Vatican BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Feb.

22 Wl--President Tito accused both Soviet Russia and the Vatican today of attempting to divide the world into two "hostile camps." He called actions of Pope Pius XII "dangerous for the peace and freedom of the world." His assertion came at the opening of the fourth congress of Yugoslavia's People's Front--a war- born organization created for the purpose of uniting this country against the Axis invaders.
