Balanced Budget,
Big Surplus Loom
For Fiscal 1951
WASHINGTON, March 30.
The first balanced budget in three
years and — better still — the
second biggest surplus in history is
virtually in the bag for fiscal 1951,
now just three months from its
end.
Some government officials said
privately today fiscal 1951 shows
signs of ending June 30 in a surplus
approximating $2,700,000,00 — the
size of the deficit President Tru-
man predicted for this year in mid-
January.
That indicates a whopping $5 bil-
Mon or more improvement in the
budget outlook in the short space of
less than three months.
Combining to produce this phe-
nomenal turnabout are (1) a flood
of tax receipts far greater than ex-
pectations and (2) lighter than ex-
pected expenditures, chiefly due to
lagging deliveries on orders for mil-
itary supplies.
The same factors give promise of
cutting perhaps as much as $3
billion off the $16,500,000,000 deficit
forecast by President Truman in
January for fiscal 1952. starting
next July 1, some government of-
ficials believe.
That is likely to mean the ad-
ministration's tax program will find
the going harder than ever in Con-
gress, which has taken no action
thus far on even the first part of a
two - round (tax increase Presi-
dent Truman suggested for this
year.
Secretary of the Treasury Sny-
der was reported preparing to urge
next week that Congress speed up

6 Concerts Placed Tentatively
On Civic Music's 1951-52 Card
The artists selection committee
of the Abilene Civic Music Associ-
ation has projected a six - concert
series for 1951 - 52.
Meeting last night in the home
of President Robert J. Tiffany, 801
Ballinger St., the committee tenta-
tively selected five individuals and
an orchestral ensemble to appear
here under Civic Music auspices.
Although these artists will be
signed in all probability, formal

View dairy farmer, died at 1:30
a. m. Friday in Hendrick Me-
morial Hospital after suffering a
heart attack at his home about
11 p. m. Thursday.
He died a few minutes after
reaching the hospital.
Mr. Landers, a well-known base-
ball fan. was born in the Wingate
community on April 16, 1908. He
moved to View in 1915.
He was married in 1935 in Abi-
lene to Nellie Lee Read of Hamby.
He was a member of the Bap-
tist Church.
Survivors include his widow:
one son, Donnie Landers; his
Speaking on the subject,“Relig-
ion of Two Disciples,” the Rev.
Brannon said in part: “These two
men had a religion of method. They
made plans to be in the place of
prayer. Many church organizations
and many Christian lives fail be-
cause they have no method of
thought - out procedure. If some
people in our churches cannot have
their way they are unwilling to
| work. It is rule or ruin with such
| individuals ...
"The habit and use of prayer
of these two disciples,” continued,
the Rev. Brannon. "I’d father be
able to pray well, than to preach
well, sing well, or do most any oth-
er service for the Lord well.”
announcement of their coming can-
not be made until after the cur-
rent Civic Music membership week
closes. Financial details cannot
be arranged until the association
knows how much cash it will have.
Tiffany said this morning. “We
might not can afford six concerts."
This group of artists tentatively
picked included one singer whose
name is a household word, an or-
chestra heard weekly by millions
on radio, a rising young female
singing star soon to appear in an
outstanding motion picture, a well
known male pianist, a unique com-
ic dance star and a nationally known
ballad singer who has appeared in
Abilene previously.
‘COSTLY’ SERIES
“This series would by far be the
costliest we ever signed, but we
think it is one of the most in-
teresting that could be assembled
at any price in America today,”
Tiffany said:
“It would appeal to a wider range
of listeners than any Civic Music
program we have evxer heard of.
It is by far the most unusual col-
lection of artists you will find.”
Civic Music membership closes
Saturday afternoon. Headquarters
for the association are on the Woo-
ten Hotel mezzanine. Adult mem-
bership fee is $6. Student member-
ships are $3.

Worth, and wrecking the car in a
chase with officers near Lubbock.
Houle prviously pleaded guilty at
his arraignment earlier this week,
but was arraigned again Friday
morning after retaining an attor-
ney, Jack H. Bryant. His trial has
been set for Wednesday, April 11.

sentenced to five years in the
state penitentiary after pleading
guilty to passing a forged check
for $28 50 at Toney’s Drug Store
here March 7. 1950. District Judge
Owen Thomas approved his appli-
cation for a suspended sentence,
however, and Baker was released
on $500 bond He was ordered to
report back to the court “from
term to term”
E. G. Smith, 90, of Snyder, also
was released on five-year sus-
pended sentence after he pleaded
guilty to a felony check swindling
charge. Smith, who said he had
been in ill health for 14 months and
was divorced by his wife at Sny-
der last October, admitting pass-
ing a $50 check as a deposit for
a rent car from Bean and Hughes
here Nov. 6 The Snyder carpen-
ter said he gave the check to Bob
Bean, manager of the car rental
service, and went to Birmingham,
Ala. He said he returned to Sny-
der and was arrested there fol-
lowing his indictment by the grand
jury here.
District Attorney Willoughby rec-
ommended the suspended sentence,
pointing to the fact Smith had
spent 65 days in jail, and that he
had not previously been in any
trouble.
Two Snyder men, J. C William-
son, postal employe, and Raymond
Hedges, a building contractor, tes-
tified that Smith was a longtime
resident of Snyder a sober man,
and good worker. They blamed
his trouble on his family difficul-
ties and his illness.
Smith was ordered to report eith-
er in writing or in person to Judge
Thomas every six months to report
on his affairs.
Dewey Carl Newton, 18. was sla-
ted for a hearing Friday afternoon
on a motion by District Attorney
Willoughby to revoke his suspended
sentence here on a forgery charge
and add the five-year sentence to
a prison term assessed at Snyder
for burglary.
