A Balanced Budget:When President Truman in his budget message showed that a balanced budget was within sight, it was startling to the nation. For the first Hine since 1930 expenditures ran be trimmed to keep somewhere near the total receipts. The balance la not possible for the current fiscal year, known as 1946. which ends June 30 next.

Republicans Plan Anti-Strike Bill Report Sentiment For Party Measure Washington. Jan 29- (UP) Plans for a Repubilcaneponsored anti-strike bill were taking shape in the House today Hopse Republican leader* told reporters that most OOP house memlters were agreed that the labor committee's wjttered-down version of President Trumans fact finding hill would not go very far toward settling labor dispute*. They reported considerable sentiment for offering the house a party bill ae a substitute. They indicated that the substitute probably would follow thq tinea of the GOP* recent policy statement on lal>or legislation. Its theme was "equal responsibility for keeping the labor management contract." The Senate lailwi and Education committee, meanwhile, resumed it* hearings on Mr. Truman's factfinding bill. First witnesses were top figures in the present General .Motors auto strike- Vice President Walter P Reuther of the United Automobile Worker* I CIO) and company President Charles E Wilson. The bill Wore the committee is the one requested by the President. It would authorize him to set up fact-finding boards in serious lalior disputes. The boards would have the right to subpena company records and would forbid labor to strike for 30 days while the board wae Investigating. The bill approved by the House Labor committee fell short of Mr. Truman's request. It would not permit the boards to subpena company records nor would it provide for any pre-strike "cooling-off” period The Republican party's labor policy statement, on which the GOP substitute bill will most likely be based favored legislation which would: 1. Provide for the atreuglhening of Ute federal mediation and conciliation service. 2. Make labor and management equally responsible under the law for keeping their contract*. 3.

At the moment, recommendations of DDT for agricultural purpom are hedged with caution. DDT to too new Concliwlve studies will take aeveral crop year* Under some circumstances.

The result will be higher production and smaller losses. Cows housed in dairy barns treated with DDT solutions will increase milk production from eight to 20 per<*ot. Reef cattle sprayed with DDT have gained half a pound a day more than animal in untreated herds. But DDT can bring sad results when rashly used. The owner of a herd of pedigreed cattle in Georgia sought to protect them from insect pests with a DDT spray. H-- gave the prise bull an extra dose for good measure.
