Senator Smith Asks Reduction of
Fantastic Budget, ‘Frankenstein’ Debt
WASHINGTON, ^(—Underscor
ing comments of former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover, Sen. Mar
garet Chase Smith (R-Maine)
shid today the nation’s “fantastic”
budget and “frankenstein” debt
contain the makings of economic
disaster.
Mrs. Smith prepared her ad
dress for the Third National Con
ference on Government Reorgan
ization. Hoover told the same
group last night the country is
courting an economic “agony”
like the one which afflicted his
own administration.
Hoover endorsed a recent dec
laration of Secretary of hte
Treasury Humphrey that the ris
ing trend of federal spending, un
less checked, will bring on a “de
pression that will curl your hair.”
“Mine has already been curled
once,” said the 83-year-old Hoo
ver in a wry reference to the 1929
boom-and-bust, “and I think I
detect the signs.”
Mrs. Smith said she has asked
Humphrey by letter to point to
places in the budget where de
ductions can be made. She said
he suggested no specific cuts.
She recalled Humphrey told re
porters there were a “lot of”
places where cuts could be made,
and contended his statement car
ries with it “the serious obliga
tion to specify those places in
stead of placing Congress in the
position of guessing as to what
those places are.” She added:
“To me it is almost a frighten
ing comparison that the federal
government today pays more in
interest on its national debt than
it paid for all governmental ex

penditures in fiscal 1938—just
19 years ago.”
She said the budget provisions
include “forces which threaten
our financial solvency — forces
which, if not controlled, could set
a torch to inflation, which . . .
could wreck the financial stabil
ity of this government and this
nation.”
Six Stitches Taken in
Cut on Truman’s Head
INDEPENDENCE 05V—Harry S.
Truman has a six-stitch out on
the back of his head as the result
of a fall Tuesday morning. He
slipped on some ice at his home.
The former President went on
to his office in Kansas City and
was treated there by Dr. Wallace
Graham Jr., who also was his
physician at the White House.
Dr. Graham said the cut was
superficial, and Truman stayed in
the office for a full day’s work.
Mrs. Truman slipped and fell
Jan. 3 and broke a small bone in
her left foot. It still is in a cast.
Seaton Has No Word
On Next Governor
WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of the Interior Seaton was inter
viewed here today after returning
from his recent trip to Alaska.
Asked if there was any word
on a successor to former Gov. B.
Frank Heintzleman, who resigned
Jan. 3, he said there was nothing
he could say on any upcoming
appointments.
Four Nations Will Sign
Seal Hunting Convention
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Unit
ed States, Canada, Japan and the
