Following his rhetorical pleasantries, the Assembly adjourned and the general, or steering committee met to consider how the business of this second part of the third session should be conducted.

WARNER WASHINGTON, April 5 Administration' experts worked feverishly tonight mapping an arms program to back the North Atlantic Pact, which President Truman will send to the Senate this week for ratification. Aware that the entire world is anxiously awaiting definite proposals, planners of three top agencies put in a long session on the military program today and tonight. The plan is expected to provide, Congress willing, a mailed fist of military supplies worth up to $2,000,000,000 with which western Europe can fight aggression if Russia does more than talk against the treaty signed here yesterday.

It will go to the Budget Bureau before the end of this week, it is hoped. There, according to Budget Director Frank Pace echoing sentiments expressed by Senators 33 of whom can veto the treaty if they dislike the arms program which must back it the program will undergo the most thorough study. It is highly unlikely the Sen- ate will vote on ratification of the treaty until its members ar thoroughly conversant with de- -tails of the arms program. In addition, the military program may be brought into the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on the treaty. This committee met today, but set no -date for opening hearings.

Officials had hoped to issue a definitive statement on the arms program today, hard on the heels of the treaty signing, but the planning committee until nearly 8 o'clock tonight without pounding the program into final shape.

The Democratic controled House Ways and Means Committee reported a net cut of in the figures submitted by Gov. Dever, but conceded various new taxes must be adopted to balance the budget.

Gov. Dever said he was happy the committee had been able to prune his budget. He pointed out that, with his own reductions in departmental estimates, a total of had been saved for taxpayers. The Governor praised Chairman Anthony R. Doyle of Worcester and the committee for "the intelligent appraisal which they made of actual needs, as distinguished from bureaucratic demands."

Twenty big tanks and an even bigger new tank retriever caterpillared speedily over the parade rou' before bip-eyed spectators. Artillery, 105-mm howitzers and chemical mortars, weapon carriers and antiaircraft guns rolled smoothly by. Army field kitchens brought up the rear.

4 Doctors Quit State Health Posts for Higher Pay The resignation of four top state health officials, to accept better paying positions, was disclosed yesterday by Public Health Commissioner Vlado A. Getting, with a warning that Massachusetts Public Health activities will deteriorate unless salaries are boosted. Declaring pay standards are "notoriously" low, Dr. Getting said: "It is practically impossible to hire competent Public Health physicians at the entering grade of $4200, especially since Public Health physicians are not permitted to engage in private practice after working hours."
