ARMY CHIEF 'S
“There Ain't No Such], |" Thing as Economy in Sight,” Taber Claims
House Subcommittee to
Hear Other Military ~ Authorities.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (U. P). —Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, testified today before a House "Appropriations Subcommittee in support of President Roosevelt's to finance national defense deficiencies caused by war in Europe. High ranking Army officers, including Col. E. R. W. McCabe and Maj. W. W. Cox of Military Intelligence, accompanied G e n. Marshall, His testimony was offered in secret and started the appropriation machinery five weeks in advance of the regular session. Resumption of activity on Capitol Hill found members of the appropriations group divided on the .outlook for economy.
" Taber Wants Details -
Rep. John Taber (R. N. Y.), leading minority member and critic of Administration expenditures, said “there aint’ no such thing as economy in sight.” He said before he - committee himself on Mr. Roosevelt's proposed special tax to finance increased national defense costs next year he would have to know what it was. Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Va.), leader of the House economy bloc, described Mr. = Roosevelt's economy move as one of the “brightest . notes that has been struck recently” and said he believed Congress is “ready to cut.” Approval would boost the nation’s defense bill for the current fiscal year, ending next June 30, to more than $2,000,000,000. Since Congress adjourned in August with $1,734,031,320- voted for military purposes, war in Europe has caused Mr. Roosevelt to a limited national emergency, augment Army and Navy personnel, establish a coastal neutrality patrol, and call for redoubled vigilance by the FBI'against spies.
Four Billions Requested
. Between-mow and the convennig of Congress, Jan. 3, the House Appropriations Committee ‘plans to digest requests for more than $4,000,000,000 for regular Government requirements in 1941. ‘But the first job to which 81-year-old Chairman Edward T. Taylor (D., Colo.) summoned his colleagues was a deficiency in military appropriations for the current year. The President has requested -$119,999.842 for the Army, $146,049,256. plus a $2,450,000 contract authorization for the Navy, $4175,425 for the Coast Guard, and $1 475,000 for the FBL
Record U. S. Debt of $42,000,000,000 Looms
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (U.P). —A financing program which is expected to boost the national debt to a record high of $42,000,000,000 was discussed today at a conference between Treasury and Federal Reserve Board officials. Details of the plan, expected to include the raising of $500,000,000 in cash, were canvassed at a 50minute meeting between the executive committee of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr, and his fiscal aides. An announcement of the program may be made later in the day.

LUDLOW FAVORS USE OF HIGHWAY CASH FOR ARMS
Road Building Moratorium Would Meet Four-Fifths Of Needs, He Says.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Weiter WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Cutting a half-billion from the regular budget to finance extraordinary military expenditures was suggested to the House Appropriations Committee to--day by Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) as an alternative to President Roosevelt’s tax-or-borrow plan. As a member of the Deficiency Appropriations Subcommittee, which went into session today to consider the President’s proposals, Rep. Ludlow urged spécifically a moratorium on Federal road building to save 400 million dollars and taking the other 100 million dollars from reclamation, river and habor and public building projects. The Indianapolis Congressman said he is opposed to increasing the 45-billion-dollar statutory debt limitation. “The President has raised an interesting . and * important question, which deserves the serious consideration of the entire country, but there is one alternative he has not presented,” Rep. Ludlow declared.
Urges Appropriation Cuts
“The third alternative is that instead ‘of ' raising the additional funds by Treasury offerings, which would increase our already swollen national debt beyond the danger line, or by taxes which would grind our people, we try the plan of cutting non-essential appropriations, so that it will not be necessary either to increase borrowings or to levy additional taxes. “Our statutory debt limit of 45 billion dollars has almost been reached and I, for one, am opposed to raising-it. “The President, who is in close touch with . foreign affairs, estimates that the foreign situation makes its necessary for us to spend $500,000,000 * on national defense next Year, - over and above the amount we would otherwise spend.
‘Where Can We Cut? “The question arises, where can we cut appropriations to make up this additional.-$500,000,000? “We cannot take it out.of relief appropriations because recovery has not advanced: to that point. “But there are plenty of opportunities to make the saving in nonessential items. Take the matter of roads. -For seven years we have been spending on roads an average in excess of $400,000,000 a year. The road boosters are preparing to ask for that much or more at the next session of Congress. But why? “The country is be-ribboned with hard surface highways. Eliminating this one item would take care of four-fifths of the extra $500,000,000 which the President estimates must be raised for national defense.” Contending that the other $100,000,000 could come from postponement of reclamation, river.and harbor and public building projects, Rep. Ludlow concluded: “I would like to see the President focus national attention on economy by adding one more alternative to his timely suggestion. The third alternative is to cut, cut and then
cut some more.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Nov. 27 (U. P.) ~The Finnish Government took a firm attitude today in preparing a reply to Soviet charges that . Finnish artillery had fired across the frontier and Soviet demands that Finnish forces be withdrawn from the border. There was no indication that the Government would agree to the ‘Soviet demand. Troops along the border were ordered to keep cool in the face of any provocations and officials strongly denied the charge that Finnish artillery had . fired across the. frontier, asserting that Soviet troops had been firing in that area and that if any Russians were killed the Red army’s own shells were responsible, Indications in official sources were that the Finnish reply to Russia would be a carefully-phrased communication, possibly refusing to withdraw frontier forces unless Russia does likewise. Snow Eases Tension It was announced that Finnish troops observed exercises at 3:05 p. m. yesterday (the Soviet note said the Finnish attack was at 3:45 p. m.). The grenades were fired by mortars, Finnish official said. They did not sar the mortars were aimed at the Finnish side, but they denied categorically that the Finns had done any shooting. Two inches of snow Sen here during the night and probably more on the Russian border, and the Finns regarded it as a good omen. The Karelian Isthmus will soon be snow-bound and the chances of a Russian attack lessened. It was pointed out that only three and a half hours after the border incident was supposed to have taken place, the Moscow radio was broadcasting full “details,” and the Finns believed that a remarkably short time for the alleged facts to have been co-ordinated The Soviet note was not referred to here as an ultimatum. since no time limit had been given for the withdrawal from the frontier, al-
though it did demand that the withdrawal be made “without delay.”

Finns’ Border Army Stays Despite te Russian Demand

at the Leningrad garrison and Army speakers approved the government’s action in- sending a note to Finland, demanding be withdrawn without delay from the frontier on the Karleian Isthmus. The Army speakers were quoted: Claim Four Killed . “We Red Army: soldiers must rein in the. military leaders of Finland.” Moscow charged that Finnish artillery fire’ had killed four and wounded nine Soviet soldiers. Pre-mier-Foreign Minister Vv. M. Molotov already had handed Finnish Minister Baron A. A. S. YryoeKoskinen the note calling for the withdrawal of ‘troops. The grave turn in Soviet-Finnish relations was the culmination of a long dispute over Russia’s demands for territorial concessions on the Finnish mainland as well as in the Gulf of Finland. The outpouring of Soviet Workers from factories to mass meetings indicated that. public opinion was
ures. Resolutions Passed
At a typical meeting in a Moscow factory, speakers said, “The Soviet Union should give the Finnish provocateurs a lesson and make the Soviet border safe from further provocations.” The workers passed resolutions including one reading: “The Finnish ruling classes are leading their country to ruin and provoking the Soviet Union to war. The Soviet Union stands for peace but must hold the Finnish Government responsible for provocations.” Withdrawal of Finnish troops 12|T to 15 miles from the border, as demanded by Molotov, would mean that they woulc have to abandon their “Little Maginot Line” on the Isthmus between the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga, ~nd open the gates of their country to any invading Russian Army.
Press Assails Cajander Molotov said that in spite of the Finnish attack, the Soviet commanders had showed great restraint and had not ordered. their men to answer the fire and thus enlarge the incident. The alleged attack had followed a violent outburst in the Soviet press against the Finns, particularly Finnish Premier A. J. Cajander. Pravda, organ of the Communist Party, said Cajander “wreathes like a snake , . . whines, tubs tears all over his dirty face . . . sheds tears of grief, crocodile tears, «they say, which are the falsest, vilest, most disgusting tears in the world . . . but still more base and false are tears shed by a buffoon imitating a crocodile. Reptiles of this species have no sharp’ teeth, no strength, but are marked with perfidity and the lasciviousness of a small beast
{| of prey.”
This attack followed a speech by Cajander last Friday saying that Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuanai, by submitting to Russian demands, had become vassal states of Russia. He suggested that Finns plow. their fields with rifles always handy.

Where the recipient cannot write, his “X” must be accompanied by the signature of a witness. Carl PF. Brandt, member of the Brandt Bros. contracting firm, still is being considered as a possibility, for the trusteeship, although Mr. Brandt definitely refused last week to accept the post. It was learned that County officials phoned Mr. Brandt yesterday, seeking reconsideration of his refusal, and asked him to confer with them today. Several other men also are being considered by the Commissioners for the appointment, which pays $3000 a year. Mr. Quinn's resignation came less than a year after he had started his four-year term. ; The name of Mr. Quinn Jr. entered the inquiry when it was learned an assessment sheet for the Martindale Market, one of the two “favorite” relief groceries operated by Dan R.

had continued “to strew mines in|

Two Major Disasters
Two major disasters contributed to the week-end havoc—the sinking of the British merchant cruiser, Rawalpindi, 16,697 tons, with the loss of all but 17 of its crew of 300, and the sinking of the 16,000-ton, Polish liner, Pilsudski, with a loss of eight lives.

Survivors reported two explosions that might have been either mines or torpedoes. Both ships were on the Germans’ list of armed merchantmen subject to being sunk without warning,
