lion dollar ceiling built by the jHouse over military spending looks jas if it may be torn down by the (Senate

A Senate defense appropriations

subcommittee agreed informally

Wednesday to eliminate a House-

voted amendment which would

freeze spending for next year.

President Truman said this would

wreck the military buildup.

Military officials requested 52

billion dollars for the year begin-

ning July 1, and the House au-thorized $46,200,000,000

But the rider, sponsored by Rep.

Howard W. Smith (D.-Va.), wouldmean the three services couldspend only a total of 46 billiondollars from this amount plusfunds carried over from past ap-

propriations.Chairman O’Mahoney (D.-Wyo.)

•aid the Senate group agreed withthe administration’s contentionthat the amendment would meanreneging on past appropriations.These have been pledged to pay

for military equipment orderedmonths ago and scheduled for de-livery next year.

Smith said his intention was to

force economy in military spend-ing, not to delay the buildup.

Secretary of the Air Force Finletter cited the spending ceiling asone factor slowing down the airbuildup. Finletter testified beforea House expenditures subcommit-tee.

He told the group the House Ap-propriations Committee had cut560 million from proposed new air-

craft procurement, which is in ad-dition to the regular Air Forcebudget.

The committee was to announceIts action on this and other specialappropriations later today. TheAir Force had requested over$1,700,000,000 in addition to its reg-ular budget, which totaled $20.752,•412,912 when the House finishedcutting it in April.

Finletter said even before the880 million dollar cut the Air Forcehad trimmed its budget ‘‘rightdown to the last airplane.”

And he went on to say:“Ifwar comes, the assignments

the Air Force will receive will en-tail very heavy losses.”

Temperatures soared into the 90sand above 100 in the East, theSouth and the Midwest. Recordsfor the date were broken in scoresof cities.

No immediate, widespread reliefappeared in sight. However, someof the cooler air which coveredthe Northern Plains states washeaded into the North Centralstates. There was a promise ofsome cooling by Friday. No suchrelief was forecast for Easternand Southern hot spots.

The spell of hot dry weatherthreatened crops in some Southernstates, including Virginia and Ar-kansas. There has been less thanone inch of rain in Richmond, Va.,in June, which threatens to becomethe driest June in the city's his-tory.

Deaths attributed to the hotweather were reported in severalcities. Hundreds of persons suf-fered heat prostrations.

Three deaths attributed to theheat were reported in Ohio whichsweltered in temperatures aroundthe 100-degree mark.

Two persons died from effects ofthe heat in Philadelphia and 40were treated in hospitals for heatexhaustion. The day’s top readingof % was a record for the date.

It was collar-wilting weather in

most of New York State, with NewYork City reporting a record 96.5

reading. More than a score of per-sons were treated for heat pros-

tration. One death was reported inupstate New York where tempera-tures were in the 90s. It was near90 in New York late Wednesdaynight.

Readings of 100 and above weregeneral in many parts of the South.The day’s top of 104 at Macon,Ga., marked the fifth consecutiveday of 100 or higher and the 25thstraight day with temperaturesabove 90. It was 103 in Augustaand 101 in Savannah. The 101 inNashville was a record for thedate while Chattanooga's 102 tiedthe all-time high for June set in1936.

St. I/mis was promised no reliefafter the sizzling 100-degree heatwhich set anew June 25 record. Itwas the 20th day in June withtemperatures over 90 for the Mis-souri metropolis.

LONDON (f*—A British newsmanreported today American schoolkids “have less appeal than aa horned toad”—but the little girlsgrow into the world's lovelies, wom-en.

“Most ugly ducklings in Amer-ica become swans,” reported TomDownes. New 7 York correspondentof the Evening News. “Prettychicks in England tend to becomedowdy old- hens.”

Downes set forth his views inreply to Prof Cyril Edwin Joad, aBritish philosopher, who denouncedAmerican children in a recent es-say as pasty-faced, spoiled “littlebrutes.”

Downes said Joad was right asfar as he went "but he should havedeveloped his theme bevond child-hood. Downes proceeded to do itfor him:

“The point I want to make isthat age for age. class for class,the women of New York, Chicagoand possibly Los Angeles are moreattractive to the eye than anywomen in the world.

“They have nothing to fear re-garding the peaches and creamcomplexion of English girls, thesavoir-faire and fashion conscious-ness of the French, or the vitalityof the Italians. They compete onequal term with all their Euro-pean sisters.”

Downes entered a brief concur-ring opinion on Joad’s distaste forthe American tot or frying size.

“American school kids,” Downessaid, are a pain in the neck.Their demands and their self-ex-pression (I would prefer to callit exhibitionism) are such that therate of infanticide in the UnitedStates is probably higher than any-where else in the world.”

Teen-agers he described as ‘hid-eous.”

“In their socks, calf-lengthbreeches and vulgar shirts andjackets they have less repeal thana horned toad." Down s declared.

But as far as he is concern -*

all this is forgiven when the littledarlings get to be big girls.

| Downes asserted that English-women, who pride themselves ontheir carriage, “do not carry them-selves any better than the typistswho work in Rockefeller Plaza.”

Downes said about the only flawhe has found in the Americanbeauty is her voice,

j “The accents of girls from Vir-ginia, North Carolina, and someother Southern states are pleasantto the ear. But there are otherswhose sonances have the twang ofa harp. And it ain’t heavenly.”
