New Budget Shows Truman As Top Peacetime Spender
Washington—(U.P.)—President Harry Truman's new budget wins him another leg on the cup for being the modern world's greatest peacetime spender.
Mr. Truman became president shortly before the start of fiscal year 1946. On the basis of his 1951 budget he will have spent about $259,-500,000,000 by the end of the next fiscal year.
In the same time he will have collected in taxes about $235,600,-000,000. The deficit for the six years of President Truman's administration to Saturday June 10, 1951, will be an eve-popping $59,900,000,000.
During President Truman's administration so far and through the next fiscal year, individual income tax payers will have contributed $117,633,000,000 to the treasury. They are the greatest source of government income. Next are corporations. Their contributions will be about $66,003,- 000,000.
A congressional economy bloc is ready to battle against any tax increase and to counterattack with plans for tax reductions. But, without President Truman's assistance, the Senate resolution. Neither is it likely that taxes can be increased over the protests of a conservative minority.
President Truman proposes now to increase taxes somewhat, although whether on individuals, corporations, estates, or gifts has not yet been revealed.
The economy congressmen are looking for specific places where government costs could be cut. They may get some leads from one of the new budget tables that contrasts the late President Roosevelt's last peacetime budget 1939 with President Truman's new budget for fiscal 1941. President Roosevelt had a deficit that year, as he had in every year of his three terms plus. But he was not in President Truman's league as a spender.
Here are some comparative figures:
1929
Exp. $8,966,000,000 $43,439,000,000
Rec. 5,103,000,000 37,306,000,000
Def. 3,862,000,000 5,133,000,000
President Truman will spend between four and five times in 1951 what was spent in 1939. He will collect more than seven dollars for every dollar collected by President
Roosevelt. His deficit will be nearly one-third greater.
1929 1951
Aside from national defense, veterans, and international affairs, all of them very costly, the budget shows that there have been steep increases in other fields. For instance:
Agricultural and Ag. Resources
$1,198,000,000 $2,260,000,000
$1,198,000,000 $2,206,000,000
Housing and Community Dev.
It is between this group, government workers and service prints, that the bulk of the duplications occur.
These include war-time civil defense workers, war plant workers, and various others such as taxicab drivers and policemen, who need to be fingerprinted as part of their jobs.
Housing and Community Dev.
154,000,000 1,329,000
There are more than 5,000,000
Education and General Research
36,000,000 434,000,000
Under the F.B.I.'s breakdown of its collection, the biggest lot is filed under "miscellaneous applicants" for jobs. There are 45,549,778 sets of prints there, or 40 per cent of the total 112,653,880.
Medical Test To Be Today
About 25 students will take the medical aptitude test today, Dr. Jackson Powell, counsellor in the University guidance bureau, said today. Most of those registered for the all-day test are students at the University.
The past fall 160 persons took the examination, according to Dr. Powell. The test is administered nationally several times a year and is graded by the Educational Testing service, Princeton, N.J. Most medical schools require the aptitude test score on an application for admission. Those taking the test last fall and next week will be applying for admission to the 1950 freshman medical classes. The 1950 freshman medical class at K.U. will number 100.
Nearly Half Of Us Have Been Fingerprinted By FBI Men
228,000,000 2,218,000,000
General Government
There are only two nations in the world (Russia and Venezuela) which produce more oil than Kansas.
560,000,000 1,267,000,000
World War II gave the files their biggest boost with fingerprints not only of the vastly increased ranks of the armed services and of the government, but also of workers in the defense plants, shipyards, and the civilian defense program.
Washington—(U.P.)—The swelling files of the federal bureau of investigation hold the fingerprints of nearly 70 million persons. Agents of the F.B.I. have taken prints of almost half of the nation's population.
The F.B.I. estimates that one-tenth of the fingerprints in its files are of criminals and criminal suspects. Something less than one-tenth are of aliens who are or have been in the United States.
The remainder of the prints have been gathered from such various individuals as government workers, servicemen, taxicab drivers, wartime air raid wardens, Kiwanis and Rotary Club members and visitors to world fairs.
In 25 years the files have grown from 810,188 sets of prints to 112,-653,880. The F.B.I. estimates that about 42 million prints are duplicates.
"personal identification" prints gathered for the most part apparently from clubs and other organizations which have displayed enthusiasm for getting members on the fingerprint record.
Next are the army prints, numbering 18,750,000 and dating back to World War I. There are also 4,381,000 navy prints, 789,335 marine corps prints, 27,759 coast guard prints, and 23,183 prints taken from the merchant marine during World War II.
The second largest category is criminal, with 19,407,080 criminal prints and 30,082 prints of persons who have at one time or another been a suspect. They represent about 7,500,000 persons, the F.B.I. estimates.
Many also have been collected from visitors to the world fairs in this country where the F.B.I. has set up fingerprinting booths.
The latter also includes civil service job applicants since those persons must go through a loyalty check before getting a job.
Atomic energy commission workers are filed separately. There are 188,268 sets of prints of A.E.C. employees.
Also in the collection are 6,319,808 alien prints and 358,738 prints from prisoners-of-war.
Government workers are classified in two sections, with 8,959,896 prints collected up to the initiation of the president's loyalty program, and 2,592,344 collected since that time.

Field Trip May Be In Southwest US
The annual summer biological survey trip will probably be taken in the southwestern part of the United States, said Raymond Beamer, professor of entomology.
Graduate students should begin now to think about going on the trip. Those with special study problems make the trip, Dr. Beamer said, and can get as much as five hours credit for the trip.
The biological survey trip of the past summer included studying the Osmia, a genus of bees, in the states of Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Washington.
The surface of the Everglades is less than 20 feet above sea level.
