By Lea Felt end Wileon McCoy CENTURIES THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING |] HE'S OUR DEADLIEST ENEMY AND Business Has Double Stake In New Budget NEW YORK (#~Businessmen have a double stake in the budget that Congress will work upon in coming weeks. On the spending side—much of the billions of dollars that will be spent on defense, public works, and the like will go directly to manufacturers and service indus- tries. Billions of dollars that go in veterans’ benefits, for farm price support, for government payrolls, will eventually find its way back to businessmen in payments by their customers. So business will watch closely to see where spending cuts are made. On the income side—business puts up directly a large share of the taxes that flow into the U. S. treasury; while its customers pay higher prices for products on which hidden taxes and excise taxes are laid (and may buy fewer of the industry’s products in conse- quence); and customers also find their purchasing power whittled by high individual taxes.

(Sz By John Cullen Murphy By George McManus By Roy Gotto for chances of coming tax cuts. Most businessmen seem confi- dent that Congress will cut the budget. Almost unanimously they ap- prove of economy and less spend- ing in principle—but individually many of them may protest if cuts are proposed in the programs which would give them 4 good customer in the government. Most businessmen seem confi- dent that Congress will let the excess profits tax expire next June. And some of them hope that individual income tax rates and some excise taxes may be cut at the same time, thus giving custo- mers more dollars to spend at the store. But how to cut taxes and bal- ance the budget is a problem which businessmen fear will be more than Congress (with its long record of log-rolling on pet spending plans) can accomplish easily. Businessmen look on the Truman budget as a stop-gap, until the Eisenhower budget is ready—prob- ably weeks away. But they will find in the Truman budget the details on spending programs where cuts could be made—and can see who would be hurt if they were made. Joseph M. Dodge, who is to be- come budget director, already warns that cutting of expenses will have to be done slowly, and perhaps in piecemeal fashion. He appears to favor a policy of starting no new expensive govern- ment programs, and of trying to whittle down those already under way which he feels are too rich for the debt-ridden treasury to go on supporting in the fashion to which they’ve become accustomed Like many congressmen, most businessmen eye as possible places to cut spending the various foreign aid programs, the defense pro- gram (so long as national security isn’t threatened), and various pub- lic works programs Uncle Sam has so many irons in the fire—so many programs al- ready started—that businessmen doubt if either the Truman or Ei- senhower budgets (or Congress) can cut spending as quickly as the voters indicated they wished. But businessmen say they like the spirit of economy with which the new Congress appears to be tackling the problem. Remember, however, that many businessmen openly fear a slump when and if defense spending is cut back. They want economy in govern- ment, but some of its effects might be painful to many industries as the nation readjusts to economy.

After all, we are going to be neighbors.” “Haven’t you heard that Lon- lon people aren’t neighborly?” she asked. “Very few of them know who their neighbors are.” “But I want to know one neighbor very much, and I thought you did too.” The color rose swiftly and warmly in her cheeks, and her brown eyes were a little abashed. “I wasn’t trying to snub you,” she said quickly. “T will come in for coffee. About nine?” “Tll be looking forward to it,” he said. He opened the door and she ran across the pavement to her own house. She let herself in and crossed the hall towards her room, call- ing to her mother, “It’s all right Mother; it’s only me,” and started on her way upstairs. Her mother came to the kitchen door, an im- dress, She was dark like Anthea, but taller and harder, and hand- some rather than pretty. She was in her late forties, her face un- wrinkled, her tall figure still slim, erect and strong.

Anthea Said tentatively, “Is there some- thing wrong, mummy? You look tired?” Mrs. Grainger moved quickly, her face coming alive, brisk and capable, her assured, slightly bossy manner reasserting itself. “Don‘t be silly, dear. It was my church committee this after- noon, and they always wear me out. Those silly vain women, all wanting their little bit of lime- light. They’re not interested in why they’re running the bazaar, only in what it means to them.” “Well,” said Anthea practically, “if you don’t like it, why do it en?” “For heaven’s sake, Anthea, don’t start that why-ing of yours. Go and get changed; you'll catch cold.” She half-turned to the kitchen again, and Anthea began to go up to her room, when her mother sai “This young man «2. yous it was a young man who picked you up?” Anthea felt her cheeks sting at the implication in her mother’s voice. She said stiffly, “Quite young.” “Did he say what his name as’ “Carlotti.

Que. @% — Buxom Mrs. Arthur Pitre was hanged at Montreal's Bordeaux jail early Fri- day for her part in a bizarre mur- der plot that cost the lives of 23 persons aboard a time-bombed air- liner. The 43-year-old widow was the third person to go to the gallows for the murder of Mrs. Rita Morel Guay, wife of a Quebec jeweler. Mrs. Guay’s husband, J. Albert Guay, and Mrs. Pitre’s brother, Genereux Ruest, a crippled watch- maker, preceded her to execution. Mrs. Guay was a_ passenger aboard a Canadian Pacific air- liner that crashed Sept. 9, 1949, after a time bomb exploded abord. The blast was the product of a tempestuous love affair be- tween Guay and a 19-year-old French-Canadian waitress. Mrs. Pitre — the go-between in Guay’s affair with the waitress, Marie-Ange Robitaille, was specif- jically charged with placing the bomb aboard the airliner. Guay, 33, was convicted of mas- | terminding the plot to kill his wife. The prosecution charged he hoped to collect $10,000 from an insur- ance policy on her life and marry Miss Robitaille. Ruest, 54, was convicted for making the fatal bomb out of clockworks, dynamite and a de- tonating cap. A cut clove of garlic rubbed over a loin of pork before roast- ‘ing gives zesty flavor.
