To Tax Realities (flriTTOTtS VOTE: Tht followhw i imiml In 1h Mw 12ft dMii of Mil Wftukec Journal.) It is now generally admitted by the Republicans that the budget deficit for the current fiscal year, despite a nearly $1,000,000,000 rlrnn in vrwnrfitureS. Will be larger than predicted by President Truman. It will be ?v,suu,uuu,uuu instead of $5,900,000,000, because of a tremendous drop in estimated receipts. It is also being generally ad mitted that it will be impossible to balance the budget for fiscal 1954, even if all taxes are kept as now, though it will be possible substan tially to cut the deficit as esti mated by Truman. The combined deficit for the two years, accord ing to nresent calculations, will be a little more than 13 billions instead of a little less than 16. Only Secretary of the Treasury Humnhrev seems more optimistic. The Republicans, generally, admit that we must continue deficit financing and present taxes and that we must Talse the present $275,000,000,000 limit on the national debt.

We cannot af ford to jeopardize our defense and we cannot well cut all the billions necessary to achieve a balanced budget out ot the 15 to 17 per cent which is earmarked for things other than defense.

They cannot liveup to a lot of irresponsible campaign ora tory, but they have made a start toward the goal they set them selves. LeUerip Matter Of Tennis Dear Editor: To the Sports Department.

Irv Peteron leaves that worn out golf club to Doug Dale. Re take. Doug will have no ue for it in Timbuctoo. , Dolly McQuiston leaves that crazy Tri Delt fence. Bob Tockey, another of those outstanding engineers, doesn't have a slide rule anymore. So with great humility he wills his drawing board, to be used as a bread board out at Home Ec. James Justice leaves, hoping his Brown Palace associates don't decide some night to paint the place a different color.

All the Alpha Chi seniors, in cluding Jean Loudon, wish the underclass coeds luck in catch ing a man. Bobby Nielson leaves her fleet of Chevrolets to Mimi DuTeau. However, she is saving a 1936 model with two spare tires, a hydraulic jack and a horn that squeals "Oh, Baby" to Bill Adams. Many Gamma Phi Beta sen iors leave with a sigh of relief. Unpinned seniors no longer have to eat raw eggs. 4 Dale Sass, Hile Goodrich and Bob Salyers, big Sigma Nu dat ers, leave, knowing that Howdie Hanson will carry on the tradi tion. Arnold Stern leaves his pipe, slippers, portable bar and televi sion set to the new business managers ot the Rag, who, everybody hopes, will be such great hustlers for advertising, they won't need the pipe slip pers and television set.

Milo Brabec wills his Olds mobile convertible to anyone willing to buy it, Fijis everywhere will mourn the graduation of John Elwell, distinguished winner of a con test at Uncle Ben-a. It seems to me Glenn Rosen quist should leave something too. He leaves nothing to Dental College; they don't appreciate him either. In the above paragraphs are found. Names of seniors, both thin and round. And what we leave for poster ity. I We, the class of fifty-three. ,Cuba: A Protest! . . . I More than S00 students staged a demonstration last month on the ; streets of Havana in protest against the defacing of a monu iment. The monument was of a Communist student leader who was murdered in Mexico in 1928. Protesting students threw up barriers, set them on fire and hanged a straw effigy -of Cuban President Batista.
