EXPENSE SLASH

Institution Wants Federal Costs Cut to Meet War Expenses.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (U. P).— An economy program to slash $2. 085,000,000 from non-defense Fed-

eral expenditures was proposed today in a Brookings Institution report holding that such savings are necessary for efficient prosecution of the war. Prepared by Henry P. Seidemann, the report recommended that Agricultural and public welfare agencies bear the brunt of the cuts—That $625,000,000 be cut from agricultural budgets and $615,000,000 from pubile welfare costs. The report was made public only three days after the Congressional special joint econmy committee recommended a cut of $1,301,075,000 in expenditures not directly connected with the war program.

Flood Control Cut

The Institution report recommended these specific economies: Flood control, rivers and harbors, etc.....$ 350,000,000 Agriculture Public Domain Public Welfare -. Highway Development. Transfer of costs to activities : Executive and general state and local governments

The Brookings Research experts found that the curtailment of $2 000.000.000 annually “can be made without great difficulty.”

Florida Project Out

Non-defense expenditures of the Federal Government have been at

the rate of approximately $6,500,- |

000,000 a vear since July 1, 1840. The report said there “would seem to be no good reason why virtually all new construction for flood control, reclamation and irrigation, non-defense water power projects, and river and harbors improvements should not cease during the emergency.” The St. Lawrence Seaway, the Florida Ship Canal and the Tombigee River development in Alabama were among the projects that | would be shelved.

FOR LIFE IN RAW

China’s Wartime Capital Not Far Different From Village in Congo.

and other po By LELAND § PRT RR ‘ CHUNGKING, Dec. 3 (By Clipper).—You would scarcely expert to discover what it’s like to live in an African kral by settling down in China's wartime capital, yet a great many of Chungking’s inhabitants live in conditions not much different from the primitiveness of a hinterland village in the Belgian

They have less sun and less heat but quite as much

which to contend. Mud-walled huts and thatched roofs cannot conceal a degree of impoverishment jeland Stowe which ‘is only matched by a stolid uncompromising determination to survive—something which seems the secret and the essence of Chinese existence. Whenever you take a short cut through the alleys or backlots in this sprawling cliffside city you take a sudden excursion into life in the raw. Women are washing clothes in murky stagnant pools on either side of narrow, twisting paths. Population Vocal

On this sharp slope an old man putters in a tiny patch of green vegetables. In the doorways of crude shacks mothers sit nursing their babies. On the rough wooden floor of one of these dilapidated dwellings a fat old sow, cherished incarnation of an entire family’s capital, sniffs serenely about as if fully conscious of her great importance in the domestic scheme of things. There are fewer dogs and cats in Chungking than in almost any city I can remember, but the big popu{lation is large and vocal in many ways. As a mater of fact, Chungking is halt city and half farm. | {Sometimes, in your meanderings you are attracted by high-pitched | squeals and then you see a little Chinese woman, grasping a young porker by the scruff of the neck | ‘and scrubbing him vigoorusly with a brush and real soap with the other hand. Among people for whom meat is jalmost as much of a luxury as ice cream in the southern Sudan, pigs, even one scrawny nasty-tempered little piglet, achieve an aristocratic status in human society.

Smells Here and There

It’s strange how these rural and | elemental phenomena are all mixed up within the confines of a political and commercial capital and how extraordinarily the main business streets contrast with backyards and with what pass for front yards. Some thoroughfares seem free from smells, or only have them on such a diluted scale that you hardly notice them at all Then suddenly you come within range of a combination of odors which, it seems, would fly a kite if not actually support a glider in midair. Probably two-thirds of Chungking's structures have been rebuilt or partially restored or are completely new—which often means new out of a fantastic collection of used-over materials. But some of his season's new mud-walled huts, with their bright thatched bonnets, look quite neat from the outside. Those in the particular African kral, which is called the Press Hostel, are like that and they house the staff of the Chinese Bureau of Information and newspaper correspondents who are permanently stationed here. These uncomplaining and remarkably cheerful people live the year around under conditions which, at best, would be called roughing it back home in the U. S. A. They include the wives and children of ithe Chinese Government employees and also three young American women.
