• Washington. Jan. 18.—A comp^ison
of war appropriations and expendi
tures for the past two fiscal years and
the approaching fiscal year was out
lined in the budget message which
Presidtot Rooeerelt sent to Congress
last week. It Twas pointed out that
gOTenrment expenditures for the war
and all other purposes in the fiscal
year ending June SO, 1144, totaled
1128,000.000,000. and that appropria
tions for the cnrrent year' totaled
197,000,000,000, Authorisations and
appropriations requested for the fiscal
year 1945-46 aggregate 187.000,000,000.
Of this total 84 per cent will be ex
pended directly in the war effort, IS
pec cent will go to meet veterans’ ex-
penee#, interest on the public debt and
tax refunds, and 4 per cent will take
care of all other activities Of the Fed
eral Government
Outlays for the constriction of war
plants now are declining, but there
ill necessarily be increases in ex
penditures for the pay of the armed
forces, for munitions and supplies, for
the development of new weapons^ for
interest on the public debt, for tax
refunds and other federal expenses.
President Roosevelt reports there
now are 2,900,000 federal employees
of whom 2,040,000 are in the War and
Navy departments and other var
agencies, and only 836,000 in the post
office system and similar peace time
agencies. The total number of gov
ernment employees has declined 126,-
000 from the June, 1943, peak, and
further reductions will be made as
the war permits.
1 have had a number of complaints
recently from my disfrict concerning
the del^ In delivery of msil to sol
diers overseM, and my Inqnlries along
that line have brought forth two
statementa from the War department
which may be of interest to my con
stituents.
One groop of complaints has con
cerned difficulties in the receiving of
mail by men~Ih the first few weeks
after they go overseas. The War de
partment informa me that during the
early months of service abroad many
soldiers are transferred through vart^
ous replacement centers and other in
stallations before they are assigned
to a permanent unit. ’These chaugM
cannot be foreseen, of course, and
mean that each piece of mail for such
individuals has . to be oheckad «galnat
records of transfers, have the address
corrected, and then be forwarded
These delays usually cease after the
soldier gets a permanent address, has
notified his family and friends, and
they commence to write directly to
bis new address.
Also. I have bad a number ..of letters
concerning difficulty in the receipt of
mail by men who are hospitalised. In
this case the War department aays
that the answer is similar to that in
the' pt«cedlng paragraph. The wound
ed and sick are moved to the rear
through a series of hospitals in order
that appropriate treatment and quart
ers may be provided. This means that
each piece of mail addressed to the
organisation with which the soldier
was serving must have tha address
changed and be forwarded, perhaps
repeatedly, before it catches up to
the addressee. Until such time as one
address is retained long enough for It
to be furnished to correspondents at
lome and used os mail for direct de
livery, there is no way of avoldlsg
delay reeulting fromr the time con
suming forwarding of mail. A system
s now in effect whereby the esierg-
ency addressee of the soldier serionsly
ill or wounded is immediately notified
by a member of the hospital staff of
the new address. ’Ibis will assist In
speeding delivery of mail.
Lt J. L Brown
Is Given Otation
Major Alton C. Brown, Camden, who
Is with the Seventh Army in France
and attached to a hospital unit, tells
an interesting story of how blood
transfusions are keeping the death
rate In Americans at a minimum.
vme way t>t seeing wt a giance 'just
how busy we are at any particular
time is to check the number of blood
transfusions given,” said Major Brown
who is Chief of the Laboratory and
Pharmacy section of the 11th Evacua
tion hospital now following close to
the 7th Army in its push Into Ger
many.
’I can remember,” be said, ‘‘when
eight or ten transfusions a day dur
ing the Tunisian campaign was con
sidered a ressonable number. How
ever we have since given as many as
94 in a single day. On the beach head
at Ansio our total for 12 days was in
excess of seven hundred. II was at
Anzio that we first made use of the
blood bank. Until then we had man
aged to get along on the donations by
members of our own unit and those
of neighboring outfits. ’The men were
always willing to cooperate in giving
blood.
Major Brown’s first service with the
Medical corps was at the Fort Bragg
station in March, 1941. While at this
station he was promoted to Captain
before leaving to Join thC 11th Bvacu
ation hospital on maneuvers at the
Desert Training Center in California.
In November, 1942, Major Brown
sailed with the hospital unit for over
seas service, arriving at Chwabianca.
North Africa. Since then he has seen
service at the ’Tunisian, Sicilian and
French campaigns. It was dUTtng the
Sicilian campaign that he received
his promotion to Major,
