US Expenditures Estimated 90 Billion Dollars
Washington—U.P.) There is no more than a whisper left here of pay-as-we-go national defense talk. Pay-as-we-go was what President Truman proposed to congress when he called for a great new national defense effort the past month.
Estimates of what may be spent for arms, men and munitions next year range up to 60 billion dollars. Estimates of what will be spent for non-defense purposes vary up to 30 billion dollars.
Barring a full-scale war, it is not likely that these maximum figures will be reached. If they were, the spending figure for fiscal year 1952 would be around 90 billion dollars. But the figure will be very high.
Manly Fleischmann, general counsel of the National Production board, made the defense spending
estimate on Nov. 15 sometime before the weakness of United States and United Nations military forces became spectacular in the Korean disaster.
Mr. Truman will have an opportunity to revive pay-as-we-go philosophy when he addresses the nation this week on the national emergency. The speech is expected Friday or Saturday.
But congress is not likely to impose taxes sufficient to raise 90 billion dollars or even 60 billion dollars annually.
The alternative will be an increase
in the national debt because government must borrow when tax revenue falls short of expenses. The debt already has reached an awesome total of 257 billion dollars.
It costs the treasury more than five billion five hundred million dollars just to pay interest on the bonds which were sold over the years to raise that sum. That is considerably more than the cost of all federal government activities in the 1920's.
The census bureau has just broken the nation's debt down to a per person basis. Counting all public debt local, state and federal the bureau said each man, woman, and child in this country is in hock for a bit more than $1,800.
The Wall Street Journal recently showed the other side of it. The Journal estimated that the average American next year will pay 28 cents of every dollar earned in local, state and federal taxes.
That means all hands will work about three and one-half months next year to support local, state, and federal governments.
Jimmy Hawk Livens Up Sunnyside
Jimmy Hawk is probably the most unusual resident of Sunnyside because he is exactly what his name implies, a hawk. Jimmy, the pet of John Scollay, instructor in English, lives in comparative harmony with three dogs and two canaries.
The bird was discovered one day when Mr. Scollay and a friend went hunting for quail. They took Mr. Scollay's three dogs along to retrieve the birds. Finding no quail, and not wanting to return, home
often-handed, they seized the opportunity to shoot down Jimmy. With a broken wing the bird fell and the dogs rushed in to the attack. In the fierce battle that followed, the dogs were beaten by the hawk, who used his sharp claws to advantage.
The two hunters decided that Jimmy was too tough to die, so they took him to Mr. Scollay's home, where he has remained ever since
Though Jimmy is quite tame now, he still enjoys a playful tussle with the dogs, who prefer to remain at a distance whenever possible. Veal is the favorite food of the big, brown and white hawk, although his usual fare is scraps from the Scollay table. Jimmy sometimes eats from Mr. Scollay's hand, but he occasionally forgets where the food ends and the hand begins.
Jimmy doesn't seem to mind being the only hawk in captivity at Sunnyside. He flaps happily about in his large cage to the great delight of the children of the neighborhood.

Foreign Students To Have Christmas Invitations
Kansan Can't Give Scores By Phone
All foreign students who will be in Lawrence during Christmas are urged to call Dorothy Reinhold or M. David Riggs, Y.W. and Y.M.C.A. secretaries, as soon as possible.
University students desiring vaccination against influenza may get them at Watkins hospital, although there is not enough influenza in this area to warrant a vaccination campaign, said Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, today.
The Y.W. and Y.M.C.A. will arrange for foreign students who desire to do so to eat Christmas dinner at the homes of faculty members and Lawrence townspeople, Riggs said today.
Dr. Canuteson added that students planning to travel to the extreme East or South should be vaccinated.
Students Can Get Flu Shots
The Kansan has no facilities for obtaining the scores as the teletype system is not in operation between 5 p.m. and 3 a.m. These calls tie up the communications systems between the University and the city of Lawrence.

Movie Stars Fear Being Dubbed 'Unco-operative'
735 Mass. St. Tel. 548
Hollywood—(U.P.)The ladies of the press are getting ready to blast the movie stars again—and press agents are staying up nights trying to cook up ways to stop them.
Lawrence, Kansas
Alan Ladd and John Derek are in the running for the most cooperative actor. And the boys holding their breath for the brickbats are Gordon McRae and Robert Mitchum.
This is the week the Hollywood Women's Press club tells the world which stars are nice to work with and which ones aren't.
Seems the glamor boys and girls don't like seeing their names making "unco-operative" headlines. This joils them into action and fast. Sometimes they call up the girls and tell them they're sorry and please, what can they do to get out of the doghouse? Others try to high-pressure the club into calling off the poll.
Club president Lindsay Durand points out the poll does a lot of good.
Many a press agent and publicity chief has pulled wires like crazy to keep the ladies from telling all. But they don't get very far.
points out the poll does a question. "It makes the stars aware of their activity and their responsibility to keep the names before the public," she said.
Joan Fontaine got the idea, all right. In 1943 she won the "uncooperative" contest. After that you couldn't keep her from talking to the press.
Four years later, she was in there accepting an apple as the most cooperative gal in the business.
Cary Grant got nominated one year as a tough gent to get a story out of. Two days later he volunteered to put on the whiskers and be Santa Claus at the club's Christmas party. Did it for five years in a row. He hasn't gotten an apple yet, but he never won the "unco-opera-
Greer Garson got awful nice all of a sudden, too. This was right
after she got boos and hisses as east co-operative of 1945.
But Shirley showed up in person at the next meeting, admitted it was true, and promised to do better.
When the girls put up Shirley Temple's name two years ago, her studio hit the roof. Radio commentators ridiculed the Press club for even hinting America's darling wasn't all dimples and smiles.
Humphrey Bogart's the only one who ever campaigned for the dubious honor. Last year he co-operated like sixty to be named "unco-operative." He was, too.
