Despite the possibility of the wars end, this year or next no appueci- able increase is f0reseen, at this date, in the eity's total budget for les5, 1t was states today by city bud- get director Arnold Falriong and other departmental officials.
 Maintainence of the current level Of expenditures within most city de- partment's budgets fer i94S is ex- pected to be sufficient to cope with any 0perational fluctuations brought on by the wars close.
 Although . few departments will be materially affected by necessary increases other budget items are ex- pected to be dcrased thus c0untr- acting the former so that the total budget sill remain somewhat stable.
 For example. much equipment for such departments az street, park, police and possibly educational will need be purchased once such mater ial is made available through the lifting of priority bans. but in turn such wartime expenses as civilian defense. waterways protection and the like will be cuTtailed greatly, II not entirely abolished.
 Estimates for the departmental budgets are now being formulated in preparation for sublnittal to the budget director on or before Sept. IS. Mr. PuFlong has forwarded cop. ieE of the forms to be used to each department head. He win then work in drawing up final budgets which gn conjunction with these officials in turn Will be submitted to the ft. nance board for final approval.
 Pusehaae Needs
 Equipment such as trucks etc., will need be purchased by the park and street departments while ney police ears will likewise be purchas- ed. The latter were unobtalnable thls past year resulting ln Q transfer within the departments budget to cover the increased cost of main. talnance and major FepaIrs Of these patr0l eers.

U..J.A. Drive

Spurred by the recognition of
the vastly increased tasks of the
agencies of the United Jewish APP
peal, Fall community campaigns
have been going forward with
unusual vigor in the South. Uni
versally larger totals are being
contributed to meet the challenge
of the transition period from war
to peace.
One of the outstanding drives
in the Fall campaign is now COM
ing to a close in the city of
Norfolk, Virginia. Under the
leadership of William Nordling-
er, Ben Paul Snyder, and M. L.
Tabakin, the Norfolk community
has already surpassed its quota
by a wide margin, and is still
going strong. Other notable re-
suits in that area have been re-
ported by Charleston, West Virgil
MIA, which went over the top with
Sidney Kleeman at the helm and
Huntington, West Virginia, which
went considerably ahead of its
goal under the leadership of
Ralph L. Masinter and Nathan
Baker. Record drives are also
now in progress in Charleston,
South Carolina where Sam Berlin
is vigorously leading the commun-
ity's effort, and in Shreveport,

the controls.
