THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1959 Senate Passes Cuts i In Lawrence Budget HARRISBURG (A I )—The Republican-controlled Senate Appropriations Committee, overriding Democratic objections, yesterday approved $5B million in cuts from Gov. Lawrence’s proposed $1,865,500,000 budget. Hardest hit were the public instruction department which j saw its spending requests) chopped by $23,800,000, the public) welfare department by $12,800,000 j and the commerce department by > $9 million. j “This has been done without 1 curtailment of any necessary or; essential services to the people by various departments of govern-j ment,” said Sen. James S. Berger, Republican floor leader. But Chairman J. Dean Polen (D-Washington) of the House Appropriations Committee com mented that the slashes were too drastic. Indications were that the bud get issue would wind up in a House-Senate conference commit tee to thrash out a compromise since the Democratic-controllcd House pared the budget by $l9 million and added 13 millions in nonbudgeted items. Winnie Warns Against Truce In Cold War I LONDON (fP) Sir Winston' Churchill warned the free world last night that its positions of strength must never be frittered' away for the sake of a temporary! cold war truce with the Soviet) Union. i At the same time, Britain’s el-j der statesman urged Western leaders to continue contacts with! Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush-i chev. Such meetings in the ni sei ves, he said, bolster hope and 1 keep back the shadows of war. Churchill said the West now! faces a period of complicated ne gotiations with the Soviet Union. “In this period fwo things are vital,’’ he said. “Firmness of pur pose can be accompanied by flex ibility of method. But we must avoid all temptation to buy a tem porary peace at the price of a surrender of vital interests.” Churchill described Khrush chev's proposal for total disarma ment as striking but cautioned: “So far, we know very little about it. We must know more. How is this disarmament to be controlled? It is on this point that so many past discussions have foundered ” Ike's Budget Hiked By $597 Million WASHINGTON (JP) Budget director Maurice H. Stans told President Eisenhower yesterday the last session of Congress boost ed expenditures for the present fiscal year $597 million over the President’s budget recommenda tions. This was a net figure, however. In computing it, Stans included rot only spending authorized by Congress but also Eisenhower’s requests for additional revenue •which Congress did not grant. Drop in Living Costs May Only Be Temporary WASHINGTON (i*P) —Living costs dropped a trifle in August, but there were signs the dip might be only an interruption in the year’s climb to record highs.

Nearly $22 mil- ( lion in other reductions are in- | eluded in separate measures. One of the separate bills deal ing with industrial development cut the House-passed figure of $lO million to $8.5 millions.
