Washington, Aug. 29 (U.R) The Senate economy bloc was rated a slight underdog for the big test todav in its drive to force President Truman. to trim government spending. The critical vote was scheduled for this afternoon on a rider to the $14,790,380,478 Armed Services Appropriation Bill. The rider, aimed at balanc ing the Federal budget, would require the President to hold all government spending an average of five to 10 percent below budget bureau estimates.

Outcome in Doubt The Administration was op posing the rider and neither side was certain of the outcome Both supporters and foes of the proposal admitted that the deci sion may depend on the amount of absenteeism, which has been running high in the last few davs. Nearly all Republicans and a large bloc of Democrats were expected to vote for the rider. It came before the Senate under a procedure requiring a two- thirds vote for approval. Supporters Confident Its supporters were confident they could muster a majority of the Senators voting but they were uncertain whether they could command a two-thirds majority. Senator John L.

McClellan Ark.) introduced the amendment, which was based on a separate bill approved by his Executives Expenditures! Committee. That bill was in dorsed by 03 Senators just one short of two-thirds gf the entire Senate membership. If it became law the rider would require Mr. Truman to reduce spending $2,000,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 below his budget estimates. No agency could be cut more than 20 percent.

In applying the cuts, the President would be required to give "appropriate consideration" to re ductions voted by Congress in the money bills. New Polio Cases At 23, No Deaths The Department of Health reported 23 new cases of poliomyelitis but no deaths, for the 21-hour period ended at 9 a.m. yesterday. Brooklyn hid 15 of the new cases, Manhattan 5 and Queens three. The department said, however, the decline from Saturday's total of 53 new cases was due possibly to the usual weekend lag in reports and was not necessarily a major decline in the epidemic.

The case brought the vear's total to 1,433. with 693 in Brooklyn, or more than twice as many as in any other borough. The death toll for the city is 111. places?" phone MA. 4-fi2(K FOR IDEAS A.M.-3 P.M.

ABRAHAM cf eutroN sr. mn tA i -ttWJt-IJiilll hair Editor's Note: Frederick B. Snite 38, famed for his fight against polio, has been in an iron lung for 13 years and five months.

His family says he is in excellent condition. Since he was stricken he has married his college sweetheart and now has three daughters. He pre pared the following dispatch as a message of encouragement to all victims of the present polio outbreak. By FREDERICK B. SNITE Jr.

Written for United Press Brainerd. Auk. 29 (U.R) For those persons, young and old, who are suffering from In fantile paralysis, I have this advice: "Trust in God and all will be well." I have followed this advice myself for more than 13 years, and it has never failed me yet. When I was stricken In China in 1936 I was taken to the Peking Union Medical College, which provided an iron lung. It was the only Iron lung in all Asia at that time.

It could only have been Divine Providence that cared for my needs in that region so remote from my own country. Now I have progressed to the point where I can leave my iron lung for as long as four hours by using a home-made 'Same Old Ball, Snoopy, Free of Osceola, Aug. 29 (U.R) Snoopy, the heifer, chewed her cud contentedly, today free of her silo prison. But farmer Everett Lampman suid hef-attempt to escape romance by leaping into his silo "as of no avail. "She can't go through life a spinster," said Lampman.

"No self-respecting cow ever does nowadays." Lampman said he wanted to let Snoopy's nerves settle for a cay or so before introducing her to his bull. MEDIUM i00 695 Thrse finely made liali cancellations MIN'S FELT HATS portable respirator. The port able lung is especially helpful when I play in bridge tournaments such as the one in which I am now participating at a resort near Brainerd. To those persons who have not contracted infantile paralysis, but who are afraid they or their loved ones will do so, I would offer the same message: "Place your faith in God. Know that He Is with you in whatever you are doing." There are many good, common sense rules that can be followed to minimize the possibility of contracting infantile paralysis.

Every one especially chil dren should keep as well- rested as possible. They should avoid fatigue because fatigue cuts down the resistance of even the most healthy person. There is no need for hysteria when the word polio is mentioned. Doctors tell me It i3 a fairly rare disease that it affects no more than one person in 6,000. And of those who do contract it three out of four recover completely.

These then, should be the rules for all to follow, whether or not they are sufferers from Infantile paralysis: Be sensible. Keep calm. Trust completely In God. 'Sighs Skittish Silo Prison That was the "date" Snoopy tiled to escape last Wednesday. As Lampman led her toward the barn to meet the bull, Snoopy suddenly broke away, dived through the 21 by-25-inch silo door, and plunged 12 feet, unhurt, to the silo bottom.

Lampman spent all Saturday getting her out with the help of his children, farmhands and neighhors. Almost 100 friends and newsmen stood by to watch. Snoopy bawled and bucked at 11 wagonloads of corn stalks were blown into the silo, rais ing her to ground level. THE Tattle COai EXPERTLY RENOVATED v. FACTORY STORE 601 GRAND AVENUE, BROOKLYN 16, N.

29 (U.R) Two New Jersey detectives planned to question a Mickey Cohen mobster today In connec Hon with the Ice pick murder of a Jersey City racketeer. Harold (Happy) Meltzer, 40, was booked Saturday as a suspect in the slaying of Charley Yanowskl on July 18, 1919. While the Cohen aide denied the charges and confidently predicted he would "beat the rap," Police Capt. Lynn White quoted hi mas criticizing the gambling czar. "If Mickey kept his big mouth hut and stayed out of the papers, I wouldnt be in this mess," White quoted Meltzer.

He called Cohen "that little jerk," white said. Meltzer told police they were taking "too much lip from Cohen. If Mickev shot his mouth off to a New York cop, he'd land In a hospital." Since the Sunset Strip shotgun ambush July 20, in which Ills top lieutenant, Edward (Neddie) Herbert, was killed and Cohen and two others wounded the gambler has been under police fire. Detective Capt. Warren J.

Marchionl of Clifton, N. where Yanowski's body was found in a schoolyard, and De tective Everett Hartford of Passaic County were to question Meltzer. Meltzer, known as 'the Jeweler" in the East, said Yanowski's murder cost him money because they had planned to organize a jewelry clerks' union, and to "run a book on the side." "Me kill him?" asked Meltzer. "Why we were huddles, see. "I've been arrested on three murder raps and I'll beat this one." Defectives said he admitted dining with Yanowskl a few hours before he was killed.

Another member of the dinner party, John Biasio, was killed three weeks after the Yanow-ski murder. Cohen said Meltzer came to the West Coast because he feared for his life after his two friends were killed. The Federal Bureau of Investigation once Identified Yanowskl as "one of the most dangerous criminals In the East" and veteran New orc officers 'said he was marked for death a niuuir tain climbing accident in which he spent 12 terrified hours hanging upside down on a steep! cutt. The youth was descending Davil's Head Mountain with several friends when he lost his footing and slid over the edge of the cliff. His life was saved when his f0ot wedged in a crevice of the jrock.

But he was out of reach of his friends and afraid to move for fear he would loosen his foot and plunge 100 feet to 'he bottom of the cliff. He was able to wriggle his1 foot out of shoe when forest rangers threw him a rope. SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES A SUM OTtCTrOM tOU YOUR VAUUABUSj PIONEER SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT 41 Flolbuth Av.
