BEHIND THE RED CURTAIN Hungary Cashes In on Dancing Girls They Flourish in Foreign Spots Following Wartime Restrictions BY DANIEL DE LUCE BUDAPEST (P) Among the dusty-dry statistics of Hungary's foreign exports, dancing girls are once again winking their long-lashed eyes.

The Senate began debate on the measure with Administration supporters concentrating all efforts on sustaining him. The President's announcement, made at a news conference, intensified the determination of a resentful Republican majority to enact the House-approved bill over Mr. Truman's objections.

LEADERS PREPARED to hold the Senate in night session Friday and Saturday, if necessary, to maintain a schedule that would send it to the White House by the end of the week. Democrats, meeting in closed conference shortly before the Senate took up the bill, found themselves so badly split on the issue that no attempt was made to agree upon a common method of organized resistance. Instead, those who agreed with the President abandoned plans to press for passage of a substitute which would give more relief to low-income groups and decided to concentrate on preventing the Sen ate from overriding the veto. THE DECISION was reported to have been based on an understanding that Mr. Truman was opposed to any type of a tax reduction measure at this time.

The President told reporters he did not see why there should be any change in the attitude he took in vetoing the Republicans' first tax reduction bill on June 16. He said then it was the "wrong time" and the "wrong kind," and the House sustained him by a two-vote margin. He pointed out Thursday that the new bill was identical to the one he vetoed except for an effective date of next Jan. 1 instead of July 1 of this year. SENATOR TAFT called the announcement an attempt to "dictate to Congress." He told re porters this was hardly in accord ance with the spirit of the Consti tution.

The action was termed "obnoxious and outrageous" by Senator Millikln (R.t floor manager of the bill. Especially in view of the "basic power of Congress to determine revenue policy," he said, "it is im proper for Mr. Truman to tell Con erress in advance what it can or can't do." Nor did his "prejudgment of the case add to good feeling between the President and Congress, Milli- kin added. HE TOLD THE Senate later that it was the first time in history a president had vetoed a bill before it had been presented to him. Senator Barkley, of Kentucky, the minority leader, told report ers he expected Mr.

Truman would be criticized for taking Congress and the country into his confidence. Reporting on the conference of Senate Democrats, he said he believed the "overwhelming majority" of them would vote to sustain the veto, with chances more favorable for that than for overriding. FTVE OF THE forty-four Senate Democrats announced immediately afterward, however, that they would vote to override the Veto. They were Senators George Johnson McCarran and Stewart In addition a private canvass by Senator Byrd showed eight other Democrats and 49 Republicans similarly disposed. The total would be two short of the two-thirds required to override if 94 senators were present and voting.

MILS, r- Corn Crop Short; Less Meat Seen Below-Average Yield Due; Wheat Ample WASHINGTON Con tinued high meat prices and some reduction in livestock pro duction next year were indicated by an Agriculture Department report Thursday forecasting a sharp drop in this year's corn crop from wartime levels. The prospective crop of this important feed grain was forecast at 2,612,000,000 bushels, which is slightly below the 10-year (1936-1945) average of 2,639,102,000 bushels. The wartime crop averaged around 3,000,000,000 bushels, while last year's production was a record of 3,287,927,000. The estimate for Michigan corn was 48,639,000 bushels, representing an average of 31 bushels an acre from 1,569,000 acres. The 1946 Michigan corn crop was 51,016,000 bushels.

THE DEPARTMENT, which had set a corn-production goal of bushels, said one of the most adverse planting seasons on record cool and wet, cloudy weather and floods in the Midwestern corn belt was responsible for the expected reduction in corn. A crop of around 2,850,000,000 bushels of good quality corn would be needed to maintain livestock production at present levels. With much of the crop planted late, there is danger that an early frost may catch it before it is matured, and reduce its feeding quality. Officials emphasized, however, that it is possible the final corn figure may exceed Thursday's forecast. They said favorable weather during the remainder of the Summer and a late frost easily could boost the crop to the mark.

They noted that despite handicaps of the weather, the corn acreage is only 5 per cent smaller than Turn to Page 4, Column 1 Paint-Thinner Fire Is Fatal Mrs. Winifred Robenalt, 44, of 19919 Negaunee, Redford Township, died of burns at Mt.
