But he said most of Mr. Truman's Tru-man's estimates were "watered" and based on what he called wasteful government spending and mismanagement. They can be cut, he said, by the "simple remedy of eliminating padding" and more efficient government gov-ernment management. Stassen cited several departments depart-ments of government for which Mr. Truman had sequested appreciably ap-preciably more money in fiscal 1948 than they actually spent in the last fiscal year ended last June .30.

Ross added that Republican protests against the budget hard ly came as a surprise to Mr. Tru man. "He probably expected about the reaction he got," Ross said.

Governor Herbert B. Maw, when Informed of the action, said: "I want to congratulate on behalf of myself and the state the railroads which have taken this far-sighted step. It will contribute to the industrial development of Utah and the west. I also want to congratulate motor truckers who have previously previous-ly published a reduced rate." A group of western truck lines established an $8 rate to San Francisco and Los Angeles several sev-eral weeks ago but it is probable that they- will adjust this to put it more nearly in-line with rail rates now that the railroads have acted. Anyone objecting to the new rates may file, within 30 days a petition before the interstate commerce commission to have them suspended. Suspension of the $8 truck rate, however, was sought by an objector but the petition was denied by the ICC. Officials of the Geneva Steel Co. had no comment to make on the action of the rail carriers and indicated that they would have no statement until the 30-day, 30-day, period for filing suspension petitions has elapsed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11 OLE) Four western railroads have postponed action on a plea for reduced freight rates on shipments of iron and steel from Geneva, Utah, to facmc coast points, a spokesman for the Western Association of Railway Executives said today. Yesterday four other western lines decided to reduce rates 22 cents per hundred pounds on all shipments of 80,000 pounds or more between Geneva and various vari-ous western terminals. The four railroads deferring action are the North Pacific Coast, South Pacific Coast Ter minal Lines, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.

By the end of the year prices should be down and suits plentiful. There will be plenty of hats this year. Shoe prices are expected to stay at their current highs with perhaps per-haps some improvement in qual ity. Dry Goods plenty of towels, bedspreads and table linens will be available with initials, fancy borders, bright colors. Sheets, pillow cases and diapers will remain re-main short. Prices are expected to soften in the second half of the year, but no big drops are in sight. Furniture furniture makers expect prices to go down in 1947. More production is the reason. The industry is concentrating on turning out simple furniture, a compromise between outright modern and traditional, conservative conserva-tive styles. Produce and Fruit barring bad weather, everybody expects more fruit and vegetables at cheaper prices. There's an over- supply of potatoes, and plenty of onions. The agriculture department depart-ment says supplies of canned and frozen vegetables will set a record rec-ord high. The citrus fruit crop is big. and prices already have started sliding. Apple and pear crops are good, too.

Nelson Darragh, who handles the bidding here at the only open floor sale of skins n the nation, took time out between auctioning foxes and mink to explain that the recent fur price plunge that bankrupted two large New York fur, dealers and one in St. Louis was due mainly to the "flood of skins from Russia, mostly mink, sable and fox." "They piled up a huge -backlog during the war, and now they're flooding the New York market with pelts to get American Ameri-can dollars," Darragh said.

From there the route would be the same as on the New York line, However, Young is also eyeing the Union Pacific and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific as pos sibilities for western links in the transcontinental line. The Alleghany Corp already owns the cnesapeaice st unio, the Pere Marquette and the Nickel Plate, in addition to its new holding in the New York Central. It had been reported that the Duke of Windsor would be associated with Young in moving mov-ing in on the Central. However, the Duke's name was not men tioned in Young's announcement about his purchase of central stock. Young bought into the Alle ghany Corp. for $3,000,000 on May 5, 1937. Its railroad holdings now are well over a billion dollars. The new coast-to-coast net work contemplated by Young would be worth nearly $6,000,- 000,000. There are at present only three business enterprises in the United States with greater assets Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., the Bell Telephone System, and the Prudential Life Insurance Insur-ance Co. of America. Young told Advertising Age he also plans "a new nationwide association" of railroads to oppose op-pose the Association of American Railroads, from which he withdrew with-drew three roads several weeks ago. Young will announce his full plans for the new group on Feb. 24. He said the new association will try to enlist the 3,000.000 owners of rail securities in a fight to rejuvenate, the nation's roads and to gain a stronger voice in directing polices-of the lines. Young said he hopes to end banker-government domination of the lines.

Wallace said last night that the United States' present policy toward Russia could lead to war. , Wallace, now editor of the New Republic magazine, was questioned question-ed - by four reporters In a radio broadcast (Mutual' "Meet the Press"). "The most certain way of at taining war with Russia is by going along the way we are, trying try-ing to be tough with the Soviet Union," the former secretary of commerce said. He also said he believed the United States and Great Britain would use the atomic bomb "in an aggressive way under certain conditions." He did not specify the conditions. Wallace, who was fired from his cabinet post for speaking out against the state department's "be firm with Russia" policy, said he was "exceedingly pleased with President Truman's state of the union message, his economic report, and his choice of Gen.
