13 UP Financial expert Beardsley Ruml laid Thursday the federal budget dever can be balanced under the government's present system of handling its accounts. Ruml, the father of the pay-as-rou-go income tax system, outlined a plan he said would remove 10 billion of items from the budgetitems "which don't belong there in the first place" and he figured increased "economy and efficiency" could lead to another $2 billion saving. For example, Ruml told a news conference, he would remove the cost of constructing the Atomic Energy Commission's plutonium facilities from the federal budget. This separation, from the federal budget would not reduce the amount of over-all borrowing the government might have to do, but it would cut federal tax needs, he said, because in his system the cost Morocco Sultan On Shaky Throne BERLIN, Aug. 13 Wt-The Communists said today that rebellious miners are seriously crippling production in East Germany's only hard coal field, the foundation for its strategic industry.

The field, located in the Chemnitz area, regularly produces three million tons a year. Walter Buchheim, first secretary of the party in the area, said "in all mines there has been an important drop in daily output and none is filling its quota." He charged that slackness among Communist union officials was playing into the hands of the class enemy, meaning the West. "The enemy not only has placed its agents and helpers in the hard coal industry," Buchheim continued, "but they are actively carrying on their disruptive tasks. "Making use of miners' discontent, they are operating rumor mills, spreading provocative slogans and instigating the miners to walk out during their shifts that BAD? Suffer from aches and pains?

American installations on Okinawa have been constructed to withstand the driving force of typhoon winds since the disastrous storm of 1949. when damage totaled nearly 100 million dollars.

French authorities feared the out somewhat from the 28.4 million bales produced in 1952-53. Outside the United States, production is tentatively estimated at 1 million bales less than last season and the first official estimate of the American crop showed a reduction of slightly more than half a million bales. "Free world production in 1953-54 will likely be much more closely in balance with the free world consumption than in either of the last two seasons," the committee said.

Exports from free world countries in 1952-53 are estimated at 10.4 million bales against 11.1 million one year earlier. But, "if world consumption in 1953-54 remains stable, as is presently indicated," the committee sees the possibility of increased trade. Free world consumption in 1952-53 totaled 25.5 million, an increase of nearly 500,000 bales from the previous season. is. to strike.

LOUIS, Aug. 13 OP) Rufus, the restless hornbill that took a Cyer on Wall Street, is just another character now in the St. Louis Zoo birdhouse and is likely to have an uncomfortable time resting on his laurels. Rufus arrived last night as part a shipment from New York in-eluding another hornbill and three noisy and bald-plated capuchin birds from the Guisnas. Big-beaked Rufus is confined in the same quarters with Jabbo, the myna bird that talked himself out of a job, and Caesar, the huge condor that was humiliated and deflated by Cleopatra.

Rufus is the strange-looking bird, native to the Philippines, who caused a flurry in the New York financial district last week. He escaped from a Manhattan dealer and flapped from one skyscraper to another. After leading a humane society agent on a futile 2-day chase, Rufus trapped himself in a pigeon pen atop a building.

Prince took nine women into custody, and they were released on recognizance. Sheriff Prince said it might require six months to serve the papers on the other 18 persons, as he felt at that time the others may have fled the area. The nine women appeared before District Judge Will Hoyt, who set up court in a tent just inside the Utah border.

Judge Hoyt gave them until Aug. 17 to make applications for writes of habeas corpus. He said he would rule on return of the writs Aug. 27 at St. George.
