It is imperative that it be done because fiscal preparedness is the source of all preparedness.

It cannot be done without leadership by the President. Now Another SAE recommendations are made only after extensive research.

Last year tax revenue from cor porations was less than $11 billion.

Soaring Debt TO INCREASE taxes such an extent we would either have to impose a general sales tax of at least 10 per cent or make paralyzing increases in levies on income individual, corporation or both.

The Federal debt is now approaching $260 billion, and even before the precipitation of a virtual state of war another deficit was in prospect on a peacetime basis. IN 1948, an extensive program to improve the Island's bathing facilities was launched and in 1949 the T. Wing" Museum Elephant Gives Chicago Tribune Foreign Service JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Accelerating suddenly to get away from a herd of elephants, the driver of a carload of tourists in the Sabi Valley only succeeded in stalling the car. Belle Me Paid lavish undiminished financial handouts to civilian economies abroad. In 1948 our expenditures for foreign non-military aid totaled $4.8 billion.

For this year the President requested $4.7 billion. The figure year, in addition to some $700 million by the original estimates for the Mutual Defense Assistance Program, would include approximately $3.7 billion for foreign civilian recovery and development. The principal objective of the civilian foreign aid program was to build up favorable trade balances for our European allies. Our own conversion to an economy of war production restrictions automatically will accomplish that objective with respect to both civil-' lan and strategic military goods. Aid to Europe WITH THE possible exception of the German occupation costs, in the current situation, we should be able to reduce the foreign civilian aid program in Europe to a liquidation basis without impairment of the principal objective to combat Communism.

The foreign civilian aid program, under current conditions, could be cut by at least half. This would save a minimum of $2.4 billion. In addition to the reductions already cited there could be more and, in fact, it is indicated that there must be more because I have it on good authority that in addition to the $10.5 billion supplemental defense budget already submitted we may expect further requests of $4 billion to $5 billion. THE PRESIDENT has requested the powers and the money of a wartime economy, but he completely omits the necessity of converting to a wartime federal expenditure budget. On the day before his war economy message to Congress and speech to the public, he called Senate Majority Leader Lucas to the White House and directed him to oppose the amendment to the pending appropriation bill introduced by more than a third of the Senate, including Senator Bridges, ranking minority member of the Appropriations Committee, and myself, to reduce non-defense spending 10 per cent.

Instead, appearing to be completely oblivious to the fact that we may win the battle abroad, and lose the war at home, he has indicated that he proposes to pay Once more may we repeat "what a noise those two spots sometimes make."

In recent times, the battle has turned to the question of how Belle Isle can best serve its purpose.

There are those who would cheapen it into a glorified carnival, but there are those who would preserve it as a quiet, restful retreat. THE WORDS of Michael J. Dee, who developed the Island as Detroit now knows it, might well be quoted for guidance. In 1908, he said: "There are those today who feel that the tendency of late years has been to run too much to the artificial in the improvements made. The Island's great est beauties are those natural to it." Hay Secret HYANNIS, Neb.

They Match BY LEO DONOVAN Free Presa Staff Writer THE PROBLEMS of locking bumpers is on the way out. Most post-war cars have bumpers exactly 184 inches above the roadway. When one car pushes another, the bumpers match exactly in height, but not in style. Eventually most or all cars will be uniform in this respect.

And that means that an organization little known to the public, the Society of." Automotive Engineers (SAE), will have achieved another step toward its goal of achieving standardization without limiting originality. CURRENTLY, Chrysler Motors Magazine pays tribute to Editor John B. Meagher explains: "In one of the most competitive industries in the world, there exists a unique, voluntary co-operative society the S.A.E. "Without interferring or affecting competition in any way, the SAE has brought motorists certain features which are beneficial to all of them. "Years ago, through the SAE, the industry found it was safer and more convenient for all customers to have all headlights at the same height and same place on all cars.

"No one had to do this, but everyone did because the customers liked it." to BELLE ISLE was closed only three times in its history. The first was in 1940 when a break in the water main feeding water to the Island cut off the water supply. The second time was in 1943, during the race riots, when the City ordered all parks, closed. This year storm damage forced a brief closing. FOR THE greater part of a century now Belle Isle has served adult amateurs, group leaders and theater people.

Other standardizations SAE has brought about include uniformity in designating engine oil and other lubricant viscosity, uniform standards for screw threads, bolts and nuts.

PARTS standardization, now represented in a SAE Handbook, helped greatly in World War H. Unquestionably, SAE's contribution to "know-how" will contribute to the success of future military operations. By F. S. Eaton esi lea low uummy, east to ace.

With such leadership, assum ing the President's 1951 expenditure budget requests as a base, it can be done in this way: 1. Our soundest post-war progress was recorded in fiscal year 1948. In that year Federal expenditures for strictly domestic-civilian activities (exclusive of defense with stockpiling and atomic veterans, foreign aid and interest on the debt) totaled $6.4 billion.

For comparable items this year the President wants to spend $11.6 billion, an increase of $5.2 billion. If the domestic-civilian programs were cut back to the 1948 level the saving would be $5.2 billion. Austerity 2. REDUCTION' OF $5.2 billion in the President's domestic-civilian expenditure requests would still leave $6.4 billion for these activities. It seems logical that conversion to a wartime economy should be accompanied by conversion to a war economy budget.

In the remaining $6.4 billion for domestic-civilian activities there would be numerous expenditures highly inconsistent with the civilian austerity required by a war economy. A most conservative estimate would indicate that there should be further reductions under current circumstances of approximately $1 billion. For example: The President originally requested authority to spend $1.3 billion in peacetime housing and community development in fiscal year 1951. Besides borrowing authority nearly $150 million was to be in new or extended programs. It would appear that housing items could be cut further in a war economy budget by more than $150 million.

THE $5.2 BILLIOX cut in the President's requests would reduce 1951 public works expenditures; (other than housing) from $3 billion to $1.8 billion. Of this amount a minimum of S500 million would be In dispensable civilian works. Under the budget as cut back by $5.2 billion there would remain a postal deficit item of $300 million. During the war there was no postal deficit. With or without a war economy this should be wiped out for the obvious saving of $300 million.

VA Costs 3 IN ADDITION to the strictly domestic civilian expenditure items above there are other areas of Federal expenditures which should not escape absorbing at least some of the requested war economy requirements. In this category the President requested an expenditure budget of $6 billion for veterans programs this year. This included up to $500 million in general administrative overhead costs (exclusive of hospital and facility administration) and nearly $2.7 billion in readjustment programs, such as the on-the-job training, etc. Abuses in these programs have been officially noted. Exclusive of pension, hospital and insurance programs, it is certain under present employment and defense requirements that general administrative and read CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS chrch of a diocese 4.

Barbour's is engraved in the stone rim circling the base of the fountain. IN 1940 and 1941, two monuments devoted to peace were erected on Belle Isle and scarcely one month after the second was dedicated the United States was plunged into a ghastly war. Ironically, the last penny owed on the first, the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon, was paid on Dec. 7, 1941, the very day that America's dream of peace was shattered by Japanese bombs. Just across from the towering octagonal shaft of the Carillon is the other monument to peace, the United States-Canada Peace Memorial.

Dedicated on Armistice Day, 1941, it commemorates the more than 100 years of peace between the two countries.
