War's End In Europe Won't Affect '46 Demands
War end in Europe within two months could trim Army 1946 appropriations by about 8 billion dollars, while Navy supply needs remain near 23 billion. Snyder, chairing the Army budget subcommittee, expects July 1 totals near 40 billion if fighting continues, but may drop to 33 billion or 24 billion with Europe ending. Even then, between 7 and 8 billion may be unspent from current-year funds, and new money could total about 26 billion if Germany falls soon. Navy 1946 budget eyed at roughly 4 billion less than this year, with no major capital cuts until Japan capitulates. Joseph Hofmann noted pianist, wrote an operatic mazurka at age five.

Martin also signed a bill letting counties appropriate funds for historical compilations and publications and vetoed a measure to create a new penalty handling procedure, calling it unnecessary duplication of work.
