MON MAY 9 1949 Drive Has Dangers, Senator Warns Washington, May 8 (AP) Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) said today there is danger that the current "economy drive" in Congress might touch off a "serious depression." O'Mahoney, chairman of the joint congressional economic committee, took sharp issue with recent proposals by Sen. Harry Flood Byrd (D. and Republican congressional leaders. "I'm fearful that a lot of these demands for severe cutbacks in federal government programs and employment are aimed at results of the present economic situation rather than the causes," he told a reporter.

IF THE GOVERNMENT starts trimming its spending too deeply and d. firing many employes, O' Mahoney said that instead of softening or lessening a recession "we may bring on a real depression." "I think the Veterans administration made a mistake in suddenly firing 8,000 government last week," he said. employes, the government often sets a pattern for business in this country. Certainly those employes were not wasting their time." O'Mahoney also questioned the weekend proposals of Senator Byrd for a "drastic reduction in spending" by the federal government with a cutback of four billion dollars or more in President Truman's budget for the next year. Byrd, veteran economy advocate in Congress, forecast a deficit for the current fiscal year of just under one billion dollars said that would jump to "five ten and, billions" by 1951 if all the Truman "social excesses" and "fiscal excesses" are pushed through Congress.

BUT O'MAHONEY said the federal government cannot drastically cut back into spending and employment suddenly without disastrous results. "We must not forget that our present huge debt came from borrowing on our future to win a war," he said. "We put our best resources into tools of destruction of our wealth and richest resources." In years ahead, O'Mahoney said, the nation's economy must operate on a level of high incomes and full employment to meet these debt burdens and gradually pay off that debt. West Poland's Industry Gains Warsaw, Poland (AP) Poland says she is getting 25.4 per cent of her total industrial production out of former Eastern German lands. Leopold Gluck, former viceminister for the western territories which Poland absorbed from Germany, said industrial output is continuing to rise steadily.

Gluck reported the former German lands accounted for 21 per cent of Poland's total production in 1947 and 24.4 per cent in 1948. He added that distribution of industry in the western territories still was very uneven, due to widespread war destruction. The government estimated in 1945 that 400,000 workers were 0 0 000 needed to set industries in operation in the western lands. Gluck said 200.000 of these workers were on the job there by the end of 1946 and another 100.000 was added by 1947. Since then, the number of workers has risen steadily.

Park Board Rejects Galloway Offer The park board is not interested in an offer to increase the size of Galloway park, President Roy M. Black said yesterday.

The board had been offered a small part of an adjoining tract in exchange for getting the rest of the tract rezoned for construction of a warehouse. "We're not interested in the land offered, or in assisting in changing the zoning," the board president said after' conferring with other members last week." He added the board thinks 10-acre Galloway park, a neighborhood recreational area on the southeast side, "is big enough to care for the program and will be for a long time to come."

The land involved would extend Galloway park westward.
