Gettysburg. ... 1 their colleagues for the last time ... for many will not be back in the ensuing congress, j Highlight of this week was final agreement in conference on the huge omnibus appropriations bill carrying a total of $38,153,600,425 in cash, con tract and borrowing authority. As fi nally agreed upon by the conference committee, the bill shows a total re duction of $2,298,757,723 under the budget estimate, which includes a i fixed amount of $550,000,000 to be 1 cut from the provisions of the bill i by the budget bureau. This provision 1 is a compromise from the Byrd amendment which provided the President should make a 10 per cent across-the-board-cut. The bill carries a total of $33,934,- 455,425 in direct appropriations; $2,- 170,145,000 in contract authority and $599,000,000 in borrowing authority. This latter figure is authority to bor-1 row that # amount by REA and the farm home administration in the de- 1 partment of agriculture. •Aside from the additional $16,000,- ] 000,000 which President Truman is asking for military appropriations, 1 the chief executive likely will ask for some additional items before congress gets away. These might include $139,- 000,000 for emergency government agency dispersal in case of atomic at tack: $13,740,000 for space outside of Washington for 44,000 office workers to make room for defense! agencies; $475,000 for science foun dation; $24,000,000 for Voice of Am-j erica over funds already approved; $60,000,000 for administration of mo bilization program; $1,860,000 for ad ministration of civil service com mission loyalty program; $3,760,000! for collecting new social security taxes; $76,700 for expanding secret service and $7,500,000 for Alaskan 1 roadbuilding. Since the < appropriations measure ; sets no time when the mandatory $62,009,000 loan to Franco Spain is ! to be made, opinions here is that ■ President Truman will conveniently ' "forget” about the loan. | Congressman! Andrew J. Biemil- ler of Wisconsin charges the defeat | of the measure to provide $75,000,- 000 for dental and medical schools so they could train more students than they are now doing over a five- 1 year period was due to lobbying ac- tivtites of the American Medical as sociation. The house has passed a bill pro- (hibiting the transportation of slot machines or other gambling devices in interstate commerce except to states where gambling is legal. The bill is aimed at machines which pay off in cash “or property." The house also passed the subver sive control bill which was sponsor ed by the un-American activities committee of which Congressman John Wood of Georgia is chairman. In so doing the hpuse turned down the White House-sponsored bill which was criticized from the floor as being too mild. Vote was 354 to 20 an, as it went to the senate, it provided that no government employee could give in formation affecting security to any agent of a foreign power or member of a Communist organization; pro hibits a foreign agent or member of a Communist organization from government employ in non-elective offices; prohibits a member of > a Communist organization from seek ing such a job without revealing his membership; prohibits a government employee from giving money or ser vices to a Communist organization; prohibits Communists from holding jobs in defense plants; prohibits a Communist from applying for or us ing a passport; prohibits sending through mails any Communist lit erature unless it is so labeled; den ies income-tax exemptions for con tributions to Communist organiza tions; establishes a five-man subver sive board to determine which organ izations are Communist—action or Communist—front groups; requires both such groups to register their officers with the attorney general; requires all members of Communist- action groups to register; makes reg istrations public.

The symbol of the crusade as al ready stated, is a great new Free dom Bell which has been cast at a foundry in England. Its dedication in ceremonies will take place behind the Iron Curtain as a tribute to those who today are fighting and giving their lives in Korea in the struggle for human freedom. The Crusade For Freedom will of fer Americans from coast to coast an opportunity to contribute to the support of Radio Free Europe, a new broadcasting station in Western Germany erected and operated by a group of public-spirited private Un ited States citizens. Radio Free Europe pierces the Iron curtain and brings the story of freedom and hope to the Com munist-dominated peoples of East ern Europe. Unhampered by gov ernmental restrictions, it hits with a strong propaganda punch, fre quently making use of the voices of exiled leaders front the prisoner countries to carry the message Of FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 26th day of October, 1950, we will render a final account of our acts and doing as Ex ecutrices of the estate of John Bailey in the office of the Judge of Probate of Laurens County, at 10 o’clock a.m., and on the same day v will apply for a final - discharge from duf trust as] Executors.
