10-LANCASTER, NEW ERA TAFT ASKS 10 P.C. CUT IN SPENDING Would Save $3 Billion, Halt Tax Rise, He Says WASHINGTON, April 1. -(A) Senator Taft (R-Ohio) offered his proposed $3,000,000.000 slash in federal spending today as the answer to President Truman's argument that a federal deficit would hurt more than a tax boost. Taft, who heads the Senate GOP Policy Committee, commented: "If we can cut 10 per cent out of most of these appropriation bills that are coming along we can save $3,000,000,000 and have a comfortable surplus of more than 000.000 to apply on the debt." Mr. Truman has predicted that the government will run 000 in the red in the year beginning next July 1, unless taxes are indeficit would do more damage creased.
His warning that suchan higher taxes came at his news conference yesterday, BUT TAFT, contended this would be only "book To put on new taxes in a time of falling prices would do more harm than good, the Ohioan added. Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Finance Committee agreed with Taft that the way to keep the budget balanced is to cut spending not raise taxes. However, Senator Russell (D-Ga) said he's so worried by the mammoth national debt that, in addito cutting down appropriations, he would be willing to vote for more taxes if he could be certain the money would go to retire the debt.

PRENTIS also believes the countries of Africa offer fertile territory for American trade since the people want American-made goods so much. But a great handicap of many African nations is their lack of money with which to do trade, he believes.
Armstrong has subsidiaries in Spain, Portugal, the Union of South Africa, Tunisia, Algeria, and French Morocco. They employ a total of about 2.100 workers. Mr. and Mrs. Prentis visited Lisbon, Portugal, on the first major stop of their trip which started in January.

Washington (Continued From Page One) fact that the note was published by Moscow as soon as it had been delivered in the capitals of the Atlantic power countries. The spokesman made it entirely clear that the United States Government considers the note to be without any foundation in fact and may formally reject it. was delivered late yesterday, having been sent around to the State Department by the Russian embassy.
Translaters were set to work to have it ready for Secretary of State Acheson. THE TEXT as released in London by the Russian news agency complained that the Atlantic Defense Pact, due to be signed here Monday by 12 nations, is aggressive in character and is directed against Soviet Union. Russia had previously taken this stand in a less formal way. There was no immediate official comment here, but there appeared no slightest chance that the protest would affect the treaty signing schedule. Secretary Acheson scheduled a high pressure round of conferences with Western European foreign ministers today.
They included a talk on Germany with Robert Schuman of France. SCHUMAN ARRIVED here last night. The State Department merely announced that Acheson would see him today, Diplomatie authorities added that there was no doubt that issues involved in unifying and governing Western Germany would play a large part in their discussions. Acheson arranged talks later in the day with foreign ministers of Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal. They all fit into the pattern of a determined effort by Atlantic powers to iron out all' their major differences.
The unity effort will be formalized in Atlantic Treaty to be signed here, Monday. The vast range problems was dramatically demonstrated yesterday. Acheson discussed then the German and Greek situations as well as other European questions in a two hour talk with British Foreign Secretary Bevin, then went immediately into a conference with Dirk Stikker, the Netherlands Foreign Minister, with whom he talked mostly about Indonesia. In connection with Indonesia which has been a sore point in Netherlands-American relations Acheson urged Stikker to take quick steps to call a "peace" conference with the leaders of the Indonesian Republic. MEANWHILE, Bevin scheduled a speech at the National Press Club here which he was expected to talk about the Atlantic Treaty and many other aspects of British policy.
the statements SO far made on the treaty by Bevin and others of the top level diplomats gathered here for the signing of the pact, all the emphasis has been placed on the "peaceful" and defensive nature of the alliance. Virtually nothing has been said about the real power which will be arrayed behind it. Diplomats viewed Winston Churchill's outspoken speech in Boston last night as sharply pointing up this aspect of the project. The former British Prime Minister declared bluntly American possession of the atomic bomb during recent years had proved to be the real defense of Europe against Communist Russia. ONE EFFECT of the treaty will be to draw a trespassing line extending from the tip of Norway across the center of Germany to the southern tip of Italy.
It would say to the Russians that if they try to cross this line with armed force the United States can be expected to swing into action against them atomic bomb. and all. Churchill also spoke out on another idea much in the minds but seldom in the public statements of the Western diplomats. That is the possibility that if the Western nations stand firm and united, the Russian "tyranny," as Churchill called it, may eventually break down. That is a long range view, as American experts on Russia see it.
A somewhat different and more immediate view of possible Russian reaction to the treaty is believed to be held by British Foreign Minister Bevin and others here. This is the idea that once the pact comes into force the men in the Kremlin may frankly decide that the period of Russia's- postwar expansion is at an end and may seek to negotiate a truce in the cold war. Study $1,000,000 Nurse Training Bill HARRISBURG, April 1. A Senate-passed bill granting 000 to State-aided hospitals for student nurse training was under study today by a House committee. The measure would allow every State-aided hospital to receive a maximum of $75 a year for each student nurse in training at the institute.
The measure is backed by the Hospital Association of Pennsylvania. H. Duff made no specific provision, however, in his budget for the next years for this type of aid. A similar measure failed to pass the 1947 Legislature. Court (Continued from Last Page) fellow roomer at 619 N.

If this is considered by Russia be the case, she would deem it as a violation of the clauses in the two 20- year treaties. THE BRITISH SOVIET treaty executed in London May 26, 1942, says in Article 7: "Each of the high contracting parties undertakes not to conclude any alliance and not to take part in any coalition directed against the other high contracting party." The French-Soviet treaty, executed at Moscow Dec. 10, 1944, said in Article 5: "The high contracting parties undertake not to conciude any alliance and not to take part in any coalition directed against either of the high contracting parties." At the time of the first Soviet declaration against the Atlantic Alliance, both the French and British embassies here messaged their capitals that the treaties might be regarded as invalid. THE RUSSIANS may not denounce the treaties with France and Britain. One interpretation of the treaties contends this cannot be done until a after 20 years.
Thus. the Russians may just say the treaties do not exist any more. In this case. no formal denunciation is necessary, and for all practipurposes, the two treaties would be dead. A British oil painting of the sign ing of the Anglo-Soviet treaty hangs in large reception room of Seridonovka Palace.
That picture, which Britain gave to the Soviet Union, may come down shortly. The Soviet note to the originators of the Atlantic Pact is "directed against the Soviet Union" and is "openly aggressive' in character. IT HAS "nothing in common either with the tasks of self-defense of the parties to the treaty or with the real recognition of the aims and principles of he United Nations organization," the memorandum charged. The pact, the note asserted, violates existing treaties between Britain and Russia, France and Russia and the Potsdam and Yalta agreements. Russia.

That, say the government economists, leaves just one of the big four items in national income national product on then upswing: government spending. NEW YORK. April Louis F.
Budenz, first government witness at the Communist conspiracy trial, testified under cross-examination today he believed overthrow of the U. S. government by violence before he joined the Communist Party, He told of belonging to the American Workers Party in 1931 and conceded that this group was committed to the principle of violence, He added that he edited its official magazine. Earlier, Budenz told the jury that the Communist Party, which he joined maintained secret schools whose sessions never were announced and whose pupils used assumed names. These were in contrast to open schools also maintained by the party in this country, he said.
BUDENZ, former Communist ficial who renounced the party, gave the testimony under cross-examination by a defense attorney. He told also of lecturing on "Communist Journalism" in 1938 at a secret school maintained in Chicago by the Illinois District of the Party, but said he could not give the exact address. The school was in an office building adjoining a doctor's office, he testified, and persons attending classes entered by way of the doctor's quarters.

Furthermore, they said, some of the government's billions will be put into the same lanes as business spending notably for production equipment under the Marshall Plan and will have some "multiplier effect" too.
