The budget cut national defense deeply from $14,726,000,000 in. the current: fiscal year to $11,256,000,000 in fiscal 1948, Of this sum the army will get $6,658,000,000 and the navy $4,423. 000,000 for a total of $11,081,000,000, The remainder of the national de|fense appropriation will be spent by other departments and .agencies

all citizens ble. to do so to buy United States savings bonds. He recommended that congress re-examine the services government renders to the public or to private individuals to determine what, if any; of them should be put on a pay-as-you-go basis. He said all services could not be so financed. But he suggested as a starter that a ‘reasonable shore” of the cost of providing specialized transportasuch as airways, should be recovered. It is understood that the administration also favors tapping truck operators for a further share of highway costs. : Wants Funds Repaid Realization of Mr. Truman's estimate of a $202 million surplus at the end of fiscal year 1948 depends on congressional agreement to a transfer of corporate funds, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. would repay to-the treasury $239,- = 000,000 originally advanced to set it up in business, Mr. Truman also asked congress to repeal existing federal reserve bank authority to make direct loans to industry. Repeal would release to the treasury $140 million in funds now reserved for-.-that purpose, There is no reason to believe congress will refuse to authorize the proposed repayments. But if congress balked, Mr. Tru{man's 1948 fiscal year budget would show a $177 million deficit instead of a $202 million surplus.
