CRASH VICTIMS RESCUED

"Socialism To Blame For British Crisis"

U.S. SENATOR ON

"BOTTOMLESS PIT"

Washington, Aug. 21.The Senate Republican leader, Mr Kenneth Wherry, today, predicted that Congress would reject any new programme of aid to Britain which required the United States to keep "pouring the taxpayers' money into a bottomless pit."

Claiming that Britain's dollar shortage was "symptom" and not the cause of her economic crisis, Senator Wherry said the United Kingdom, like the United States, was "afflicted with extravagant government expenditure, a. customary by-product of Socialism."

Budget Proposed

BUT EXPERTS DEMAND CUTS

Lake Success, Aug, 21.-The United Nations Secretary General, Mr Trygve Lie, tonight proposed an expanded budget of US$44,314,398 for next year.

The estimate, which will come before the General Assembly session next month, was $827,270 higher than the approved budget for 1949, mainly because of enlarged plans for technical aid to under-developed areas and the projected hiring of 195 new staff members.
