Truman Budget Plans Greater Social Security
Washington, Jan. 9—(U.P.)—President Truman sent congress today a budget putting the country more than five-billion dollars deeper into the red and calling for a boost in social security payroll taxes of three when dollars a year.
It proposed to spend $42,438,-757,406 in fiscal 1951 which begins July 1 this year. That is about 860 million dollars les than government will cost in the present fiscal year.
President Truman expected to collect $37,305,586,034 on the basis of existing tax rates, most of it from income tax payers. That is about $46 million dollars less than the government expects to take this year.
But President Truman shortly will follow through with recommendations for unspecified "moderate" increases in general taxes and for cuts in emergency sales or excise taxes. These changes—if approved by Congress—will give President Truman more money, but far from enough to balance the budget.
He reported to Congress that the combined deficits for fiscal 1950 and 1951 will be $10,666,548,616, at present tax rates. Social security taxes budget, and the proposed increase in them would not reduce the deficit.
National defense and foreign military aid spending will be higher in fiscal 1951 and for some years there President Truman said, because "the threat of aggression still exists."
He coupled these items with a surprise renewal of his year-old request for universal military training. He also repeated his request for an extension of the draft law and recovery spending will drop sharply. So will farm price support spending, if his predictions are right.
It would raise the payroll taxes for old-age and survivors insurance from 1½ to 2 per cent Monday, Jan. 1, 1951 apply the tax on the first $4,800 of earnings instead of the present $3,000, and affect more workers. The start of the health program if approved by congress—would be financed by a payroll tax of one-fourth of one percent each on employees and employees beginning Monday. Jan. 1, 1951.
The proposed increase in payroll taxes, which does not affect the budget one way or the other, is part of President Truman's "fair deal" program for expanding social security and starting a national medical care insurance system.
President Truman said this his 1951 budget provides a foundation for enduring peace, prosperity and expanded human freedom. His budget estimates are based on continued boom times with annual national production maintained at 255 to 260 billion dollars—close to the postwar peak.
President Truman called this an *innest budget* which meets "real-ty."
And he voiced confidence that his recommendations will provide a "solid basis for moving toward buddah balance in the next few years."
Substantially reduced spending was scheduled next year for veterans, international affairs, and agriculture. President Truman advised congress of increased spending programs for national defense, welfare, housing, education and research.
Next year's cost of international fairs and foreign aid, including the arshall plan, was cut about $1,300,-000 from this year's figure. Noods to aid the Chinese Nationalist movement were requested.
TWO MORE POINTS—Jaynawker center Clyde Lovellette (16) hooks a shot over Oklahoma's Bill Waters (35) in the 58 to 50 Kansas victory. Big Clyde racked up 29 points for his season's high. Kansas's Claude Houchin (7) and Jerry Waugh (6) are waiting for a possible rebound.
Women Win Eight Debates

The women were guests at a dinner in Salina Jan. 6. They debated an exhibition round at Kansas Wesleyan college that evening. The debate directors for the event were E.C. Buehler, prof. of speech, and Orville Roberts, former speech instructor at K.U. and now forensic director at Wesleyan.

Women May Take KU Navy Course
Women students in the School of Business or the College are eligible to take naval science, 402 S. for four hours of credit next semester. Lt. Cmdr. W. A. Mann, assistant professor of naval science, said today.
"The women who successfully complete the course may apply for reserve commissions in the W.A. V.E. supply corp." Commander Mann said. "Those not interested in commissions will still gain business education from the course."
Local Hospitals Approved Again
The class meets from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday in 119 Military Science building.
Watkins Memorial hospital has again received full approval by the American College of Surgeons in its 32nd annual hospital standardization report. Watkins hospital has been fully approved since 1940.
Out of a total of 3,998 hospitals surveyed in 1949 with 25 beds or more, 2,981 have been fully approved and 302 provisionally approved. These Hospitals represent 82.2 per cent of the hospitals in the United States and its territories, and in Canada. This leaves a remainder of 714 hospitals or 17.8 per cent not approved. Watkins hospital, with 62 beds, is controlled by the University and is supervised by R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service.
Lawrence Memorial hospital has been fully approved for the past two years. It is a 72 bed hospital and is administered by Mrs. Mary Dunden.
For approval, a hospital must have its physicians and surgeons organized as a definite medical staff graduated from approved schools and competent in their fields. The medical staff must meet at least once a month to review and analyze their clinical experience in the departments of medicine, surgery, obstetrics, and other specialties. Medical records should be made for touch-records analysis. Accurate and complete records must be kept for each patient. A clinical laboratory providing chemical, bacteriological, serological, and pathological services must be maintained.
Parking Permits End Feb.1; New Ones Now Available
Campus parking permits for the 1949 fall semester will expire at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, 1950, Donald K. Alderson, chairman of the University parking committee, said today.
Faculty members and University employees who have had fall semester permits will receive spring semester permits by mail sometime
Student drivers may apply stu-
sing today for new parking permits
in the traffic office, 200 old Fowler
shops. Office hours are from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday,
and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
Student drivers may apply start-
Students who now have permits and whose needs have,not changed since the opening of the fall semester may make application for spring permits by signing their names to their original application blank now on file in the traffic office. Those persons who did not apply during the fall semester must fill out the entire application.
Permits will not be issued until registration fees are paid for the spring semester, Mr. Alderson said. Fee cards must be presented at the traffic office before the permits will go into effect. The permits will not be mailed to students.
after Monday, Jan. 16, Mr. Alderson said. Faculty members who do not now have permits may apply by sending their applications to the traffic office.
Application blanks for spring semester permits may be obtained from the traffic office, the office of the dean of the School of Engineering and architecture, and the office of the dean of men.
In passing on permit applications, Mr. Alderson said, the committee will take into consideration any physical disabilities, the necessity of a car in connection with the applicant's work, and the distance from the applicant's home to his work.
Students must pay 75 cents for the spring semester parking permits, Mr. Alderson said. The same plate will be used during the spring semester as in force now, but the tag insert will be changed. The spring insert will have white figures on a red background.
Board May Give $100,000 To KU Hospital
The Kansas advisory hospital council has recommended that the state board of health allocate $100,- 000 to Watkins Memorial hospital.
The money would come from federal funds due Kansas for hospital building under the Hill-Burton act which grants states money for hospitals. In order to qualify, Kansas would have to supply some funds of its own. At this time, officials could not announce definite plans and sources of local financing.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, told the council that the funds would be used to enlarge the clinical facilities in order to lessen the congestion produced by a student body of more than 8,000 persons.
He said that clinics for diagnosis and treatment of eye, dental, and psychiatric ailments would receive the greatest expansion. Space needed for an enlarged curriculum in teaching health education and for the care of emergency epidemics would also be increased.
The state board of health will act upon the recommendation Wednesday, Jan. 18, Thursday Jan. 19. If the funds are granted, they will not become payable until after July 1.
