PARKING TICKETS
GIVEN; PROBLEM
BEFORE COUNCIL

Three cases involving night
overtime parking tickets given
out-of-town residents by the
Redwood Falls police department
Tuesday night were dismissed
and hearings of four local persons
who received tags were continued
on motion of City Attorney Leon
H. Brown, by Judge Clifford
James Wednesday.
D. M. Covell, who was register
ed at Hotel Ramsey having moved
out of the city; Walter j. Matson
of Sanborn and w. A. Casey, st.
Paul salesman, had cases against
them dismissed.
Combinations were ordered on
parking ticket cases of Jean
Tucker, John Eustice and two
others who have not yet reported
in court.
c.. H. Burmeister and Julian E.
Morten paid 81 fines and 81 costs
in municipal court this morning
for violation of the two-hour
daytime parking law.
Meanwhile the parking ques-
ton was still a very live issue in
the city.
Monday night the city council
decided against granting special
privileges to anyone and the po-
lice department announced the
four hour-parking- or
dinance would be strictly enforc-
ed. The hotels had asked that
their guests be exempt, contend
ing that many do not like to use
the parking lot between the
hotels, although it is lighted and
policed, and that it does not hold
enough cars anyway.
Tuesday noon the subject was
discussed at length at meeting
of Civic and Commerce associa-
ton directors at which council
members were guests. The di-
rectors favored allowing the
hotels to issue windshield stickers
to hotel patrons, which would
have the effect of applying the
ban only to local persons. They
believed this preferable to de-
signaling certain streets for hotel
parking.
The matter will be considered
further at a later council meeting.

days, since he has two more
months of study in st. Paul be-
hood to complete in st. Paul be-
fore his ordination there in June.
After that sacrament, he will
say his first mass in st. Gather
ines church here.
Harold landed in New York
Monday night and the telegram
informing the family of his ar

for his safety in Belgium and
France during the war.

be in order.
Preliminary Talks Held.
Mr.. Woodrum already has dis
cussed the coordination idea in
formally with some House members,
but no tangible developments are
looked for until the new Congress
convenes January 3.
The Virginian believes it should
be possible to look at the budget as
a whole, consider 1t in relation to
the revenue outlook, and endeavor
to set an overall" figure on the
amount to be appropriated.
The financing problem that will
confront the next Congress, either
in the form of new taxes or rails
ing of the debt limit, may serve to
revive another proposal aimed at
economy in non-essential spending,
namely, the item-veto plan. This
contemplates conferring on the
President the power to veto specific
items of expenditure without Veto
ing the entire appropriation bill in
which they are carried.
Opposition to Item Veto.
There is difference of opinion
among members of Congress, how
ever, over whether this authority
could be delegated to the Executive
without a constitutional amend
ment. Mr.. Woodrum said yester-
day he regards the item veto as a
good idea. but is inclined to believe
a majority of the experts hold to
the view it would take an amend
ment to the Constitution.
Large items of expenditure not
contemplated in making up the
budget are added to appropriation
bills from time to time. At present
they cannot be disapproved with
out vetoing the entire bill.
If they could be singled out for
separate veto, it would be necessary
to muster two-thirds vote of both
houses to put them through.
Without co-ordinated study of
revenues and expenditures, the Ap-
preparations Committees of the two
houses proceed each year to bring
out departmental supply bills one
by one. The total amount that any
session will appropriate remains
big question mark until near adj
journment time, when it may de-
velop that further tax-raising legis-
lation has become necessary.
Economy Drive Fizzled.
Although the Harrison resolution
fell by the wayside last January, the
House at that time got off to a good
start on curtailment of the first
group of appropriation bills it took
up. the object being to try to avoid
$460, 100000 in new taxes estimated
to be needed when the budget was
prepared.
The economy drive came to a
halt, however, when the Senate
added $212,000,000 to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill for farm
parity payments, and the House
accepted the amendment.

New Congress 10 GET
Plea 10 Coordinate
Finance Functions
Woodrum to Lead Move
For Action on Taxing
And Spending Problems
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Efforts to have the new Congress
coordinate the two functions OF
spending and raising money gained
momentum at both ends of the
Capitol yesterday as means of
meeting the budget problems Gre
ated by the need for continued
heavy defense appropriations.
On the House side, Representative
Woodrum of Virginia, member of
the Appropriations Committee, de-
clared he would start the ball rolling
by conferring with House leaders
. early in January to see if general
policy can be evolved
At the same time, Chairman Har-
rison of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. made known he still favors
the idea of a joint study of revenue
and appropriation requirements, and
predicted that if the House inaugu-
rates some move in that direction
in 1941 there probably would be no
difficulty over it in the Senate.
Senate Once Passed Plan.
A year ago Senator Harrison took
the leadership in similar move, by
introducing a resolution. which the
Senate promptly adopted, calling for
a Joint Congressional Committee of
a. Representative and Senators, to
be drawn in equal numbers from
the regular House and Senate COM
mittees dealing with taxes and ap-
propriations.
The Harrison resolution died,
however, in the House, where some
members took the position that sew
eral annual appropriation bills had
already been drafted, making sur
vey Of the budget as whole difficult
ut that time.
There are no signs on Capitol Hill
Of any disposition to hold back on
money for national defense to make
the United States secure against
troubled world conditions. But the
very need for large defense outlays
probably coupled with higher taxes,
is strengthening the hands of men
in both Houses who believe Con-
gress should make serious attempt
TO curtail non-defense spending.
Woodrum Outlines Moves.
These circumstances may furnish
the impetus to put across in the
Seventy-seventh Congress the prin-
ciple of co-ordinated policy on rev.
enue raising and spending, which
failed in this Congress before the
defense emergency arose.
Mr.. Woodrum said yesterday he
believes the first step should be to
consult House leaders and those who
handle the appropriation and rev.
enue bills.
II general policy of co-ordinated
planning can be worked out in the
House, he said, conferences with
Senate leaders would then be ad-
visable, pointing out that results can
be accomplished only with the aid
OF both branches of Congress and
the Executive.
The President indicated several
weeks ago that, with the defense
program providing work for many
OF the jobless during the coming
year, reductions in appropriations

Forty-eight men and women of
the 80 who can be accommodated
in the Ground hog day doubles
tournament at the Community
Bowling alleys had registered be-
fore 5 p. m. Wednesday. The IL
p. m. shift was the most popular
with early entrants, probably be-
cause of the Glencoe-Redwood
basketball game that evening.
Teams can be made up of two
men, man and a woman or two
women but they must be league
players. Handicaps will be based
on first half league averages, with
men limited to 60 pins and wo-
men to 100. Many of the early
entrants were women and Man
ager N. S. Frank is arranging
pairings for others who haven't
taken advantage of their leap
year, privileges.
Each team will play three
games, across six alleys. Prizes
will depend on the number of en-
trants but about one-fourth of the
teams will win something.
