In the report made by the VIII coun-

severely condemned for the lack OF
discipline in the Joliet prison and the
entire blame for mal-administration of
the prison Is laid to Whitman. The
report says nothing of the sale OF

believed that Small will sacrifice these
henchmen which he placed in power.

Small in his testimony before the
VIII county grand jury declared that
he alone is responsible for the issu-
ance Of pardOns and paroles and de-
clared that he was ready to accept the
full responsibility for Issuing these

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. (P)-The government's budget for the next fiscal year, calling for appropriations of $4.014,571,124, or $16,543,72S more than allotted for the current year. was submitted to Congress by the
 President.
 The Civil and Spanish w@] pension
 increases voted last session, together with increases in the cost of operat- ing the Postal Service and the Vet

 the higher budget, more than offset
 ting heavy reductions in expenses ot other branches of the government.
 The largest of these reducti ,rs-

 vides for inauguration of ive-year
 aviation programs in the army and
 navy, with a total of $574,OOoO,OOO
 for national defense; and the main tenance of prohibition enforcement
 at total cost of s30,000,000.

evening when the glee club and
orchestra combined in an excellent
program. DIR. Schneider, director of
music, had had special music each
morning at chapel during the week,
but the combined groups gave an en-
tire evenings entertainment as a
grand finale. The Glee Club of over
forty voices showed a technique of
charming quality in even the most
difficult numbers, and the orchestra
of ten pieces brought itself much
credit. The vocal solo of Dorothy
Wheeler, the violin solo of Ruth
Park, and the cornet solo by Mr..
Drew of the faculty received many
compliments. The guests who were
present expressed regrets because a
concert of such merit had not been
widely advertised so that many more
could have enjoyed it. DR.. Schneider
was presented a bouquet of carna-
lions at the close of the program.
The girls of the senior class served
harlequin ice cream. The gym. was
attractively decorated with banners,
evergreen trees and ported plants.
