Morgenthau Warning That Billion Should Be Saved| . Ignored as Deadline Nears for Action On Next Budget.

By CHARLES T, LUCEY Times Special Writer

Lr WASHINGTON, June 30.—Two months ago Secretary ~ »» of the Treasury Morgenthau told Congress: “It would be a tragic error to assume that we can ex- ~ %. pand our defense production on a colossal scale and still go = our usual ways. It would be folly to assume that we can con-

The Agriculture Department bill came out of the Senate carrying $1,340,000,000, but since substantial concessions to farmers are contained in parity loan legislation already passed, it is believed likely to total about $1,060,000,000 when finally accepted. The 1941 farm bill totaled $1,155,788,000. The State-Commerce-Justice Bill totals $279,142,000, compared with $166,813,000 for the current year. War Department civil-functions funds are almost identical with those allowed for 1941—about $228,000,000. Congress Cost Higher

The Congressmen apparently will add about $500,000 to the budget for their own legislative establishment, an increase from $24,503,000 for 1941 to $25,087,000 for 1942. In some of the departments in which increases are shown, substantial defense work is being carried on, especially in the Justice and Commerce departments, some of the independent agencies and the Federal Security Agency. The Justice Depirtment, for instance, needed more money for a big FBI force assigned to defense work, and the Commerce Department for an extensive defense airport program. But Mr. Morgenthau’s billiondollar saving is out the window.

TANKS QUTPUT

Supply Minister in Move to Step Up Production.

LONDON, June 30 (U.P.).—A tremendous speed-up in British production of tanks and gufis, without which Great Zritain cannot hope to meet the Germans on equal terms, was forcecast today as Lord Beaverbrook took over the post of

Supply Minister. It was said that the rapidly in-

planes would permit this new orientation of production and that American lease-lend aid had now reached a point where it was advisable to co-ordinate British and American production along separate but complementary lines. . Lord Beaverbrook, Canadian-born newspaper publisher and politician, was made Minister for Aircraft Production when production of planes, and especially long-range bombers, was lagging. He cut red tape, removed hottlenecks and greatly increased production. His appointment recently as Minister of Stdte, to aid Churchill directly, was regarded as one promotion; his appointment to the Supply Ministry was regarded as another. The cabinet, it was reported, had faced the choice in the interest of efficiency, of concentrating on either tanks and guns or planes, and had chosen tanks and guns first because the lessons learned in Norway, France and the Balkans showed that Britain needed vast quantities of them and secondly because new American bombers are being flown across the Atlantic in increasing number. There was the feeling behind the reported decision that if Germany succeeds in its Russian campaign it will turn its land forces on Britain or the Empire and the tanks and
