Pairing the Expenses

State officials concerned with the bal ancing of a budget have issued warning that if the several departments do not or are not able to effect the 10 per cent slashes that were ordered some weeks ago, it will be done for them and over their departmental heads. That's prob ably what will have to be done in few instances for it is apparent that it will be next to impossible for few institu- tions to bring about the economies ne- cessary to come within the 10 per cent budget reduction demanded
 One of these institutions we take as good example is the State Hospital at Middletown. It is supposed to take care of less than 2,5OO patients, yet at the present time there are 3,200 inmates. Whats to be done in a case like this? And if it's true of the MiddletoWn insti- tuition how true it must be of others. Here are individual cases desiring indi- vidual attention. They can't very well be governed by a hard and fast rule that officials who control the purse-strings set up. If they are expected to fall in line, then they must close their doors to more patients, at the same time getting rid of several thunder now being cared for.
 This situation is not new or unusual. It has been going on for some years now. It was made clear about ten years ago that our institutions could not cope with the situation. Yet we put off from year to year the inevitable. Now we find our selves in the predicament where even with institutional expansion well under way there is going to be difficulty in car ing for our less fortunate felloW-citizens. If the state fathers insist on the economy plan being put through as strictly as their latest warning would indicate, then committals to institutions by local au- thoritieS must cease altogether.

Since the very beginning of the grand jury investigation in Water bury, 1t has been obvious to fair minded observers that the Water bury Republican and American have been engaged in a campaign of persecution and vilification that to my knowledge has never been equalled. The two papers, like Dr. Walker and his ilk, have taken over the place of the courts. They are both the accusers and the judges.
 In their editorials, in their news columns, in their radio broadcastS, these papers have taken advan- tage of traditional freedom of the press, and have resorted to mud spattering and name-calling. They have usurped the powers of the courts.
 These are the papers which re- fused to print 8 letter in which a reader set forth her honest con- victions. And these are the papers which speak of fair play. They don't know the meaning of the word.

Save America First


 British-worshiping spat-and -cane boys of the State Department Will throw cat-fits when they read SEC Commissioner Jerry Franks new book, "Save America First"
 He lambastes the tight little isle" with the heaviest load of brickbats heaved at it in a long time. Frank declares that the British are attempting to use the U. s. as 8 catspaw in international relations; that if they really wanted to pay their defaulted war debt they could readily do so. Backing this up, he says:
 British citizens own several billions of dollars of securities in American corporations, and the British government could easily acquire and utilize those investments to reduce its debt to us. It could do substantially what it did during the war: It could buy those American sc- curities from British citizens, giving them British government bonds in payment Then 1t could delivc-- those American se- curities to our government at . price which would be applied in part payment of the British debt to our government "

GIRLS SNUB DUTCH TREAT

Butte, Mont, (UP)-When 8 ques- tionnaire relative to social relations between high school girls and their escorts made the rounds of all high school girls here, there were two questions to which not a single girl responded. They were: Do you be- lieve in girls spending money on boys?" and DO you believe in the Dutch treat, 50-50 on dates?"

Selected Poem
LANTERN IN THE STORM
(Glenn Ward Dresbach ill the Christian
 Science MOnitor)

(Glenn Ward Dresbach in the Christian
 Science Monitor) Night was a SWoop of black wings That thundered down on me And wild rain lashed the hill road With not house to see. By flashes of the lightning set ahead mark To guide me, and as quickly It ended in the dark. Then up the road that vanished Into the solid edge Of night, lantern glmmered Along the tossing hedge, And saw comingStoward me A hunched, uncertain form That moved but slowly, guarding The lantern from the storm. He was not going my way,
 His way I did not know; Storm tossed aside our greetings But in the lanterns glow Was something shared a moment . . And suddenly I knew A dream of mine must keep it, Against some storm, for you!

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-You'll be
seeing red when you look at Billy
Winn in the 500-mile race Decora-
ton Day, May 80.
Battling Billy" has deckeG him
self and his pit crew out in flaming
red attire, and will be easy to follow
on his fiery dash around the bricks
of the famous Indianapolis Motor
Speedway.
Winn, Detroit's favorite in the
speed classic, returned to Indianap-
oils with the record of being one of
the swiftest chauffeurs on the dirt
track circuit during the past season.
He won the only championship dirt
track race-at Syracuse--defeating,
among others, Rex Mays, Bill Cum
mings, Mauri Rose and other Indi-
annapolis leaders.
He ranks as top driver of the rae
ing team entered by Harry Miller,
Americas premier racing engineer,
who has built five cars for the 500
mile race. Winn figured in a spec
tacular incident during the early
days of practice this year, when his
race car caught fire in a trial spin.
Winn coolly braked the car to dead
stop and directed extinguishing of
the blaze.

CANADIAN PARTY BACKS

Commonwealth Federation, one of
Canada's political parties, gives its
full and unqualified support to the
international trade unions in their
present struggle with reactionary
forces in Canada and feels confident
of their final victory, declares the
National Council Of the G. G. F. in a
statement calling attention to the
many unfair attacks on the interna-
tional unions by politicians and others
who in the name of spurious pa
triotism seek to rob the workers of
the protection of strong unions.
