CONGRESS: $1,800,-000,0- 00 EUROPE: The Belligerents Britains war consisted of (1) a factory explosion; (2) a reported railroad sabotage plot; (3) a fiery defense in commons of Prime Minister Chamberlains action ousting War Minister Leslie and (4) the slaying of Britains first German on the western front. Frances war featured (1) expulsion from the chamber of deputies of all Communists; (2) news of a plot to aid Hitler, and (3) a verbal battle with Berlin, where France was accused of backing down on its promise not to interfere with German expansion in eastern Europe. It was not so quiet for the Finns. For five successive days Russian planes defied temperatures ranging down to 51 degrees ' below zero, bombing Helsingfors, Hango and other cities mercilessly.

It was $94,492,166 below the Presidents Gone were all budget estimate. funds for the national resources planning board and the office of government reports. Cut drastically were items for the executive office and the maritime commission. Nor did the house backslide on its appropriations committee; next day, having shouted down $22,000,000 in pork-barrrequests, it passed the bill almost exactly as reported by the committee. Meanwhile the army and navy were getting better treatment. Admiral Harold D. Stark, chief of naval operations, told the house naval committee that he hoped to complete a $2,276,000,000 building program by 1945. Across the street, Secretary of War Harry Woodring told the house military committee about deficiencies in critical ordnance. Fondest congressional hope, obviously, is to raise the extra for national defense without taxes. But imposing election-yea- r there still remains the $800,000,000 (originally $1,300,000,000) naval program, suggested not by the President but by Georgias Rep. Carl Vinson.

Late January brought still more tragedy to a nation whose international diplomatic woes are legion. A second major earthquake killed 50 and injured 160 more in the Nigde district, 200 miles southwest of the first quake area. Luckily, such blows were cushioned by French-Britis- h friendship.
