SPENDING AHEAD

Budget Taking Half of U. S. Income for War Is Drafted by FDR.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—President Roosevelt today is drafting a war budget for expenditure of more| than $1,000,000,000 a week—upwards| § of $52,000,000,000 a year—for 1943 offensive war against the Axis, It is a vast sum almost incomprehensible to many persons. But it is not nearly so big as the job of organizing to spend it. We now are devoting about 23 per cent of our national income to war efforts. The new program is for diversion of $5,000,000,000, which is 50 per cent of the estimated national income, to war expenditure in the fiscal year which will begin July 1 and end on June 30, 1943.

Cut Non-Defense Spending

Over and above that sum will be the cost of non-war government which in the current fiscal year will amount to approximately $6,A Congressional economy coms mittee has been clamoring for a reduction in non-defense spending and it has the support of Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgen- | thau Jr. Mr. Roosevelt promised at his press conference yesterday that non-defense spending would be reduced. But few here believe it can Jor will be cut by as much as $3-/ 000,000,000. Therefore, on the basis of a $50,000,000,000 war budget plus something for other governmental costs in the next fiscal year, the 12-month bill to present and future taxpayers will be approximately $53,000,000,000. That compares with approximately $90,000,000000 which has been spent by the Roosevelt Administration since June 30, 1933, which was the beginning of the first complete fiscal year after Herbert C. Hoover left office.

Consider New Bill

Plans for the next fiscal year dwarf those for the present fiscal period. Last January Mr. Roosevelt estimated that in the current fiscal year he would spend $17,485,000,000, of which $10,811,000,000 would be for national] defense. That program was expanded last June to an overall expenditure figure of $22,169,000,000, of which $15,500,000,000 would be for national defense. Spending is proceeding at approximately that rate on the basis of returns for the first six months of the fiscal year, which are as follows: Expenditures, $11,242,000,000; receipts, $4,123000,000; net deficit, so far, $7,049,000,000.

Douglas MacArthur and said: “The enemy is driving in great force from both north and south. “His dive bombers practically control the roads from the air. “The Japanese are using great quantities of tanks and armored untis. “Our lines are being pushed back.” In the north, Japanese forces which had driven across the Agno River lire, were pushing down on Manila over the Pampagna plains. In the south, the United States and Philippines troops were trying to hold a line which had been anchored on Mt. Maquiling, overlooking a great lagoon of Manila Bay, a bare 30 miles south of Manila. Dispatches from United Press staff correspondents at the front told of a gallant fight against overwhelming odds. American machine guns and rifles and bayonets, and a pitifully few field guns and tanks, were exacting a fearful price in lives for every mile the Japanese made, but the U. S. forces were being forced back nearer and nearer to Manila as the defenseless capital awaited a new visitation of Japanese bombing planes. George Teodore, United Press staff correspondent with the Amer-ican-Philippine forces on the southern Luzon front, reported that the defenders had been making a stubborn stand on a line which, anchored on Mt. Maquiling, extended along the boundary of Tayabas and Batangas provinces in a generally northeastward direction.

REDS SMASHING NAZIS IN CRIMEA

Slash Westward in Drive After Recapture of Key Cities.

KUIBYSHEV, Russia, Dec. 31 (U,

P.)~—Premier Josef V. Stalin ordered the Red Army today to drive the Germans entirely out of the Crimea and it was responding with a slashing westward drive from the recaptured towns of Kerch and Feodosiya. Stalin dispatched his personal congratulations to commanders of triumphant Soviet forces advancing across the Crimea to the relief of besieged Sevastopol, the important Black Sea naval base. The message commended the Red Army units which recrossed the Kerchenski Straits from the Cau¢asus, reoccupying the key city and fortress at Kerch and recapturing the Black Sea port of Feodosiya, 70 miles from the Straits and only 100 miles from Sevastopol.

Germans in Flight

It was probably the most important Soviet victory sinee the Red Army drove the Germans out of Rostov-On-Don, Russian communiques said the Caucasian forces landed on the Crimean coast Dec. 29-30 in cooperation with naval forces of the Red banner Black Sea fleet. Kerch and Feodosiya were occupied “after stubborn fighting.” The attack completely smashed German occupation forces, sending them into headlong flight westward. Russian troops were pursuing the retreating Germans and already had capuured undetermined “rich trophies.” Key to Caucasus The move seemed’ certain to give Sevastopol, under fierce Nazi attack more than two months, some relief, and might lead to the lifting of the siege if the Soviet forces continue westward across the difficult mountain terrain, Kerch, Crimean gateway to the Caucasus, and its rich oil fields, was captured six weeks ago by the Germans at the height of their eastward advance, At that time, the Nazis described Kerch as “a naval base equal to none” and said the city and its forte ress were an important key to the Caucasus.

CONSIDER REPLACING

The Indiana Ave. bridge over Fall Creek, closed since it was condemned two years ago, may be replaced by a better, second-hand bridge. City Engineer M. G. Johnson said he was studying the possibility of moving the Shadeland Dr. bridge at Fall Creek downstream to In« diana Ave. as a temporary substitute until a new bridge can be built. The: Shadeland bridge has been closed to traffic because of construction at the Indianapolis Water Co. dam at Oaklandon. condition, however, and might be used at Indiana Ave. he said. If plans to re-route Shadeland Dr. to the northeast are carried out, the Shadeland bridge will no longer be needed. Construction of a new span at Indiana Ave, has been delayed indefinitely pending a flood control project on Fall Creek which has not started yet.

Business is calling. Government is calling. From every important activity calls are rolling in for capable stenograe - phers, secretaries and accountants. In a request from the | U. 8. Civil Service Commission for assistance in recruiting more of this help, it states: “One is prone to think of National Defense in terms of soldiers, sailors and marines. But there are many types of defense work behind the lines. A large number of personnel is now on duty in the Government Service to take the dictation of the thousands of executives and administrative officers, and transcribe it into typewritten documents. Many young men and women are responding the call. Thousands more are needed.”

Men under the selective service age, and older men who cannot qualify physically for military duty but who have strong educational backgrounds, and MORE AND MOR WOMEN are urged to train for these important places.
