Officials, willing to discuss the subject provided they were not quoted by name, said this outlook holds true regardless of the out- come of the November election. They said the election has noth- ing to do with it.

The budget they spoke of con- cerns fiscal] 1950, which begins next July 1, eight months after the presidential and congressional elections. Not a cent will be spent on it before then.

President Truman would stil! have the duty of sending it to Congress some two weeks before the next presidential term begins Jan. 20 even if he lost the election to G.O.P. candidate Thomas E. Dewey.

‘Final decisions will not be made on the 1950 budget until Decem- ber, after the Budget Bureau has gone over with individual agen- cies the budget program each sub- mits for itself next week.

Nevertheless, reliable officials say preliminary work on the budget clinches 45 billions, as the minimum 1950 spending total— many figure it will have to be a billion or two higher despite “hold- down” efforts.

The final clineher ‘of the 45 bil- lion figure as they see it is in- creased military spending, a partly- automatic result of contract au- thority given the armed forces by the last Congress under a grow- ing strain in relations with Russia.

Payments for planes contracted for this year will become budget expenditures in 1950 ag the planes are delivered. So will the added costs of fueling, manning and maintaining them. Costs also will rise as draftees swell the num- bers in uniform.

But this figure is three billion more than the military cost item in this year’s $42,200,000,000 budget —and seemingly enough by itself to push the 1950 budget above 45 billion dollars unless other costs

Actually, the 15 billion limit takes into account further con- tract authority, and it’s a fair bet that spending itself—which is all
