WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. (UP) — The Mead committee, riled at conflicting reports on the condition of Rep. Andrew' J. May, D , Ky., today called on the congressman’s local physician to help unsnarl the controversy. Committee Counsel George Meader said he W'anted to ask the physician, Dr. Henry M. Lowden, about his forecast nine days ago that May should have been well enough to appear before tne committee today. After hearing Lowden’s report, Meader said it was possible that the committee may consider bringing to Washington two Prestonsburg, Ky., doctors who have been attending May at his home. The committee received word yesterday from Drs, John and George Archer that May requires "an indefinite period” of rest, quiet and doctors’ care. As an alternative to summoning the Archers to appear before the committee. Meader said the group might appoint a subcommittee to go to Prestonsburg to see May and his doctors. May became ill July 25, the eve of his first scheduled appearance before the committee to explain his activities as the “guardian angel” of the Garsson munitions combine.

Jews Sought In Sea Blockade
JERUSALEM, Aug. 9 (UP) — British warships and aircraft searched the Eastern Mediterranean in record peacetime strength today to clear the seas of Jewish refugee ships sailir.g toward Palestine. The sea blockade was pointed in part toward Rassian-controll-ed ports from 'which some refu- | gee ships were believed to be sailing. It coincided with unexplained British troop movements in Palestine. (A London Daily Mall dispatch from Nicosia, Cyprus, said a battalion of British infantry and six Lancaster bombers had arrived in Cyprus, where the first group Of 500 illegal Jewis.h iinmi grant* htaded for Palestine were expected to land Monday. The British have been using heavy bombers far long-range recoiljnaissance patrol.) Official quarters withheld c> lament on the extent of the sea search.

the government still would bcsome $1,900,000,000 In the red for 'fiscal year 1947 even though he has ordered executive agencies to trim budgets $2.200,000,000 below authorized expenditures. The (President said the budget I would have shown a surplus for j risen I 1947 had It nol been for | passage of legislation not con- | templateU last January . He set a "substantial budget surplus” as a goal for fiscal 1948. Brown, setting the GOP theme j lor the coming congressional election, campaign, said: "Mr. Truman lues talked about balanced budgets. Before him. Mr Roosevelt talked uijout iralan, *d budgets for many years, but every result was the same - more deficits ami more uebt. “This time with a huge federal income of $35 to $39 billion and with the opportunity to cut down on wartime spending and payrolls, Mr. Tiaman is losing the most favorable opportunity ever presented to balance the budget. If not iikiw, wnen will In ever be able to balance tne budget? A worried, tax-oppressed, inflation-plagued nation wants to

(UP) President Truman’s economic high command made it plain Inlay that it will try to head off i second round of wage increases ind another winter of wido■•.pread industrial strife.

PARIS, Aug, 9. (UP) Secretary of State James F. Byrnes today condemned Russian claims of an Anglo-Saxon bloc at tho peace conference as “loose and
wicked talk.”
Byrnes replied in biting terms to the Soviet filibuster by which V. M. Molotov and-his satellites have sought to block adoption of voting procedure creating simple
recommendations on
peace treaties.
A Soviet charge that nations seeking Ui<; right, to ex]>re^» their views in the conference were trying to foment a third world war was denounced by Byrnes. He also condemned the Soviet contention that nations which were invaded and occupied by the axis should have a greater voice in peace-making than
uistaiit countries.
“I think these nations who sent their sons overseas to fight the common enemy should have a right to participate in tho
peace,” Byrnes said.
“And 1 take except to the charge that such nations are tryj ing to foment World War III." He attacked Soviet criticism of Britain, pointing out that Britain "for a whole year fought the fight for freedom almost
alone.”
“We do not Intend to make all the concessions,” Byrnes said. “We have not fought for a free world in order to dictate peace to our allies or let them dictate peace to us." Byrnes drew great applause as he strode to and from the plenary conference rostrum during hi.s second clash with Molotov. He criticized Russia's delaying tactics and continued repetition of what he called inaccurate statements. “Repetition of an inaccurate statement wil never make it accurate. Whence comes this talk of a bloc? By what right do those who vote ballot after ballot with the Soviet Union call those of use who do not always agree with the Soviet Union a bloc? What loose anil wicked talk thiJ
is!”
