How much significance the senate resolution would have in the final analysis was questionable, in view of prevailing uncertainties which might affect both sides of the ledger. The 2 reduction would leave an estimated 10 billion dollars for tax cuts and debt reduction. Republicans, therefore, were feeling increasingly confident that an income tax slash of up to 5 billion dollars could be enacted. Brevity of the senate discussion and its lack of apoplectic oratory was in direct contrast to last years strident contest over the budget committee's recommendation of a cut in the 1948 budget Democrats made no effort to block the proposed spending slash which had been recommended by the house-senat- e budget committee. It still requires house adoption. BiggestJaug in the senate's budget recommendation was the fact that it probably embodied 'a number of inaccurate estimates. Republican sponsors of the measure admitted that accurate estimates of budget needs were impossible at the time. Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N. H.), chairman of the budget committee, a compared the esUmate.s with guess at the final score. But Sen. Alben Barkley (Dem., Ky.) called the procedure a step in the dark. pre-gam- e rt IRELAND: New Premier Even to members of the Eire assembly who had helped defeat him it was strange to see Eamon De Valera, premier of Ireland for 18 years, sitting quietly on the opposite side of the house as leader of the opposition. In his place as premier was John A. Costello, former attorney general, whom the assembly had voted coy into office after a new alition had taken control of the legislative group at a result of the six-part- ' previous elections. Costello, in a dignified speech to the assembly, explained his sudden emergence as premier of Ireland: 1 consented to this nomination at the request of a number of parties who felt that the interest of the country required that there should be an inter-part- y government and that the premier of that government should occupy a position In political life detached from the controversial bitterness of the past inter-part- y The government whose choice Costello was is compounded, of six political parties of apparently divergent ideals: Republican, United Ireland, Labor, National Labor, Independent and Farmers. Just how long a government made up of so many diverse would last was the subject of much speculation in Ireland. In their present cooperative mood the parties of the coalition may carry on for a year or two, but few were prepared to give the government a much longer span of life. - com-porte- CAT FEET: First a Dream Like the tog that comes on little cat feet," Carl Sandburg, honored e and honorable poet and voluminous biographer of Lincoln, was creeping into the senatorial race in Illinois.

Here medical photography has become a recognized and established service in the treatment of many eye diseases. Explains Techniques. This department was organized and is run by Mary R. Brown, one of the few women in this country who specialize in the field of ophthalmic photography. She is a pretty, quiet woman whose own son is just completing his medical education. Mrs. Brown explained some of the scientific techniques she uses .daily Jn her, diagnostic research and medical record work for surgeons at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. In addition to the snfall and delicate cameras that photograph the outer sections of the eye, there is the Fundus camera used for photographing the retina of the eye the area deep within the eye Itself. This complicated camera uses the lens of the patients eye as part of Its optical system snd the resulting pictures are in color. They have great diagnostic value; the surgeon's decision depends msny times on these trne-to-liphotographs. Mrs. Brown relates that, "Only recently, a young lad who had his eye hurt playing basketball was brought into the hospital. A growth had formed on the retina and retinal pictures were ordered. These were airmailed to a famous eye specialist in England to corroborate our own surgeon's diagnosis. With nothing but these colored slides, magnified and thrown on a screen, he recommended preserving the eye, as our own men did. In time, the growth went away, just as the specialist said it would, and today this boy has his sight. Recalls War Case.
