Clamor For Less Spending As U. S. Congress Meets; Truman To Speak Today

Iolllace Boston 0n Pay As Go Basis

BOSTON, Jan. 3 --(AP) — IVIZIYCI‘ John B. Hyiies promises to place Boston on a “pzly-as-you-go" basis to prevent "disaster."

With his predecessor, James M. Curley, listening intently, Hynes

told an inaugural gathering yes- terday that the tity "has been living beycmd its means for the

last two years."

l-le warned contractors that they will find themselves "in difficulty in a very short time" 1f they don't furnish the services for: which they are paid.

I-lynes said that "the extent to which the city has been plunged into debt for the last two years has alarmed persons concerned for the future of the city."

"A continuation cf some of the policies could lead only to fin- ancial ruin." he said. "In the year just ended. our city borrowed $27.- 100000. It paid oflf in old debts $9,- 144,500. That trend would be disastrous and it must be halted."

The 57-year-old former City Clerk said that the city “will be run for the benefit of the people" for the next two years.

Hynes. in his initial try for elective office, defeated Curley in the November election. The latter, now 75. was seeking his fifth term as mayor.

(By George Kitchen)

WASHINGTON, Jan, .'l---(CP)-— The United States Congress re- turned to its old stand today. after a two-month breather, and promptly heard a clamor for less Governmental spending.

Setting the pattern for this sec- ond session of the 81st Congress. economy-minded Republicans and Democrats joined in a cry for a

tighter rein on Federal expendi- ture. The opening was brief, quiet

and informal. The session proper —nnd the verbal fireworks that accompany lt-will get under way tomorrow when President Truman faces a Joint Senate-House meet- ing at 1 p.m, EST.

Truman is expected to touch on the very things uppermost in congressional minds-Government- al flnanclng-and to call for en- actment of Administration bills‘ left untouched when Congress rose in October.

The Mafor Issue;

Compulsory national health in- surance, a new farm program. con- tinuation of universal military training and repeal of the Taft- l-Iartley labor law will be major issues.

Opening the drive for cuts in Governmental expenditures, Rep- resentative J. W. Martin of Mass- achusetts, Republican House of Representatives leader, announced the creation of a special Republi- can "price tag" committee to keep watch on Truman's "fair deal” spending on social legislation.

At the some time, chairman R. L. Dougton (Dem. N. C.) of the tax-writing House ways and means committee told reporters:

"The people are clamoring for economy in Government and tax relief."

Predict Optimistic Speech

Administration lieutenants In- dicated today that. the President will speak with high optimism of llzfllsllects for expanding prosper-

Y.

I In this vein, House Speaker- Sam Rayburn (Dem. Tex.) said he rind other Democratic lenders discussed tnxcs with Trumnn in n 65-minute session and silgrzcstcrl n "single, package" tax bill, cutting levies, "where they pinch" and finding revenue in other places to mnke up any loss.

Mnny officials expect Truman's message tomorrow to recommend some tax increased-possibly on ¢°l‘llorations-—as a move toward balancing the Federal budget. The Government's spending deficit now ls headed toward a total of about 35-500-0011000 for the current fis- cal year ending next June 30.

PRIME MINISTER BACK

OTTAWA, Jan. 3 - (C?) — Prime Minister St. Laurent was back at his desk today after n Yuletide holiday at his home in Quebec City. He was expected to meet the Cabinet shortly. possibly tomorrow, to prepare for the Do- minlorl-Provincial conference that starts next Tuesday and for the new session of Parliament.

Drain On-illillar Reserves Ended Since Devalualion

By Arthur Gavshon

IDNIION. Jan. 3 —(AP> __ Britain has reversed the ruiircus drain on her gold and dollar re- serves since devaluation of the (pound. an informed source said to-

ay.

The reserve fund which had fal- len to 51.404.000.000 on Sept. 3o. 12 days after devaluation, has jumped ‘will? 3100000000 to‘ $500,000,000. the informant said.

This news. which is expected to be announced officially at a press conference tomorrow by Sir Staf- ford Cripips, Chancellor of the Exchequer. increases the likeiihzod of an early general election.

Prime Minister Attlee now can call an election and point to the figures as proof that the economic situation is better and that Brit- ain is over the hump.

Iif he delays. the recovery trend might be reversed. Already the cost of living is on the rise and is likely to go higher as the result of the increased cost of irrlporting food from dollar countries.

Treasury experts are not passing final judgment cn the success or failure of devaluation. however. Part of the improvement may be traced to the fact that American buyers held up orders in Britain last summer in anticipation of de- valuation. The backed-up purchas- ing contributed to the post-deval- uation boom_ but how much is not known.

Also. other members of the sterling area-most of the Com- monwealth countries. Burma. Iraq and Iceland~havc stepped up their campaigns to earn more dol- lars. They cherlpened their money at the Sflflle time Britain did. and their dollar earnings go into the British reserve fund. a common pool over which Britain presides as banker.

A thousand men were made idle late today when British Colum- bias wintry weather caused clos- ing of at least ll sawmills on the lower mainland.

.floor price will

OTTAvtlA. Jan. 3 ~tCPi WA new Anglo-Canadian bacon con- tract calling for shipment over- seas this year of 60,000,000 pounds at 29 cents a pound seven cents lower than the previous price. has been completed. Details of the con- tract were announced simultane- ollsly in Ottawa and London t0- day.

A spokesman for organized farmers said the deal was "extrem- ely disappointing." Other ivpokes- men urged immediate lifting of the embargo on hogs to the Uinlted States.

The new 1960 contract provides for shipment of topquality Wilt- shire sides on payment by the U. K. 0f 29 cents a pound on deliver- ies to the Eastern seaboard. It is a reduction from the 36 cents a pound Canadian shippers got un- der the Anglo-Canadian bacon contract last year.

The 60.000.000-p0-und contract limit also is a reduction from the 160,000,000-p0und contract in 1949. However. because of a shortage in Canada, only about 100,000,000 pounds were shipped.

Until Next July

Also involved in the 1950 con- tract ls a silibsidy from the Fed- eral Treasury of 52.100000 to main- tain the floor price at 312.5 cents a pound. Both the subsidy and the end next Jilly, when Canada likely will lift the embargo against shipment of hogs and pork products to the U.S.

Details of the new contracts were issued here _ on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gardiner

now in Edmonton for a meeting with Premier Manning of Alberta.

The contract is not expected to absorb the entire amount of bacon Canada may have available for slliptiltcnt this year. By rpenlng the U. S. market. a furthr-r amount of the expected surplus may be ab- solticd.

However. by removing the em- bargo on shipments to the U. 5.. the Government likely.‘ will have to lift i-miport restrictions against U. S. pork products and pork is sell- ing in the U. S. at a lower price than in Canada.

In London, Food Minister Strachey said the bacon contract involved payment o! $l7.500.00tl— in be diverted from Canadian wheat purchases.

Exrtctnely Disappointing

1-I. H. Ilannam. president of the Canadian Federation of Agricult- ure and spokesman for some 400,- 000 organized farmers. said the new contract. "both from the standpoint oi’ quantity and price, is extremely disappointing."

He indicated that the contract will not absorb all of Canada's bacon surplus. This, in 194.‘). ‘had amounted to about 100000000 lbs. which was shipped to the U. l\'. The surplus this year is expected to be about the same.

“Too often." Mr. liannam add- ed, "the U. S. has surpluses of the sanle product at the same time we have than in Canada. which means an unsatisfactory market.“

Tile new Anglo-Canadian contract. however. was received enthusiastically by U. K. of- ficials. It was no secret that tho best tile U. K. negotiators had hoped to get was 30 cents

n pound. The ZSJ-cent level was

“a better price than we had

hoped for," one U. K. source

said.

To pity for the bacon, the U. K. has dbtained Canadian (lovem- incnt approval to divert about $25.- 000000 from Canadian wheat pur- chases.

Port of that money has been used to order 9.500.000 worth of east-coast. spruce for U. K. factor- los. Another part will be uscd to negotiate a canned salmon deal wit'h West-Coast ranllerics.

Yugoslavia Hails Trade Pact With U.K.

BELGRADE. Jan. 3 -— (AP) - Yugoslavia today hailed her trade agreement with Britain as a sign of Western confidence in this country's future and as evidence the Russian-led economic blockade had failed.

It calls for s swap of Yugo- slavia! raw material for Britain's finished goods.

, _. Controversy Grows Over Proper Course

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-—(AP)— The United States State Depart- ment disclosed belatedly today that the Chinese Nationalists have put the issue of saving Formosa tllffﬁlli’ UP to the administration with an urgent new plea for Am- erivan liicl.

Ambassador Wellington Koo sub- mitted the plea Dec. 23. It came to light amid an increasing flurry of controversy in tbs new Con- gress over what course the United States should follow towards China,

Koo asked in a formal memor- andum for military support, the unfreezing of nearly $100,000,000 ones earmarked for China and the dispatch of military, political, and economic advisers to help save Formosa hem conquest by the Chinese Communists.

The answer may already have been decided upon. at least in part. at last week's meeting of President Truman with the Na- tional Security Council. This was followed by authoritative reports that Truman ruled out the idea of direct military assistance.

Prodded by Knowiand

The Nationalist appeal for help was revealed after Senator Wil- liam Knowiand (Rep. Calif.) prod- ded the State Department.
