To.

accomplish this reduction, President cut relief nearly one third to $595,000,000 and laid the economy axe on public works, agriculture, the CCC, National Youth Administration and numerous other activities. Available figures can give a partial story of next year's budget, the President explained in a jress conference. Actual spending, he emphasized, will be limit-; ed by, and only by, the defense production of the Nation. Military and naval categories consumed 52. per cent of the program, but the mes- sage'drove home the point that 'total, defense 'means more than weapons." While administrative economies were effected, the President declared there must be no sacrifice of social and other standards that give the American people health and stamina.

His message recommended increased social security 'law coverage to include agricultural workers, some domestics, small store owners-and others.

Captured, he was iut into a cave while the tribes- Boers through whose lines it as impossible to make a break. He organized a defense that hrilled the world.

He erected ake breastworks and lake canon to make his little force seem mpressive. He sent a small irce of scouts out, dressed in the nilorm of a regiment new. to frica, to show themselves and lake the Boers think relief had rrived. The Boers refused piously to ght on Sunday. Hence Baden- owell used to hustle the entire opulation of Mafeking from their cellars, organize them into arious activities including con- ert groups, and keep them out of oors in order, as he explained it fill them with sufficient fresh ir to last them for a "'week.

His ien used to play cricket and hold in view the Boers. Once iie Boer commander asked if ome of his men could join the estivities, as there were no women in their territory. He organized the boys of Mafeking into cadet corps, staged, amateur heptricals--he was an amateur actor of merit and once had 'used offers to turn. professiona --and established his own in ormal postal service including tamps. Baden-Powell held Mafekin; or 217 days.

News of his relie caused in London a celebration so wild that even today "Male cing" is a slang word for riotous merrymaking. On another occasion Baden Powell found himself trapped the great Boer leader De Wei who sent him word that ther were 10,000 Boers, around th British camp and advised him surrender to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. Baden-Powell re plied: "I have received your letter but neither I nor any member of my staff can quite make out whether you wish me to surrender to you or whether you wish to surrender to me." Shortly afterward Baden-Powell sent another message to De Wet. His orderly returned to say that he could not find De Wet because the Boers were retreating as fast as they could go. It developed that Baden-Powell had outbluffed De Wet.

Baden-Powell entered the British army by accident. At Charterhouse public school in England he had spent much time roving through the woods, trapping rabbits and cooking them on open fires, and learning to use an axe. and 1 a knife. He heard of army examination as he was about'to enter Oxford and "for-fun" took it. He was second on a list of 700 which decided him on an army career.

A young subaltern or junior he went to India. There he tracked a superior officer's horse which had been frightened 'into the mountains and was put on scout work. He formed his own mounted scout detail. He went home on' sick leave after serving in India and Afghanistan. It was while home that he turned to amateur theatricals men decided what they would-do lie found an opening nd wriggled out before' they ould make up their minds.
