House TO Hear Municipalities Bids For More
State Aid In Special Session Late This Month

LANSING, Jan. 3. - W.D - The
House Ways and Means Committee,
powerful legislative financial group,
today announced it will give hear
ings to municipalities bidding for
larger share of state revenue in
advance of a special legislature ses-
sion slated Jan. %.
Rep. John P. ESpie, R., Eagle,
terday, the committee will meet to-
their pleas for added state aid with
written financial statement and
detailed explanation of how they
would use any new funds voted for
capital improvements.
Espie indicated that cities up to
5000 population, those between
5000 and 10000 population, and the
larger metropolitan centers will be
considered separately.
with that detailed information
before us, then we will weigh the
needs of the state and of munich
palities and decide what items are
the most pressing Espie said.

strongly that cities must bring in
strong proof Of financial need.

rotary Of the association, is mailing

The Judges reported that many
nicely decorated homes in the city
were not entered In the contest and
although scarcity of available tree
lights may have limited the number
of entrants, fewer homes were en-
tered in tn contest this year than
in any past season.
Improperly lighted addresses were
also listed as a handicap by the
judges and difficulty in seeing house
numbers at night tended to delay
them in making rounds. More than
one trip to each home was necessary,
they reported, since comparisons
had to be made as to which homes
were most worthy of prizes in re-
gard to originality, beauty and ap-
propriateneSs to the surroundings.

Truman To Seek
.Public's Support
Through Radio

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. = U.P) -
President Truman goes on the air
tonight to seek strong public sup
port in his fight to overcome con-
gresSional indifference to his legis-
lative program.
He will deliver a 3O-minute ma
tion-wide radio address from the
White House at 10 pm. (EST. It
will be broadcast by all networks.
He will list for the nation the
basic provisions of his program
and explain the status Of the many
individual proposals to which con-
gress thus far has given little sup
port.
The President will explain in
simple words what he is trying TO
do and the obstacles in his wav.
He was not expected to criticize
congress in any sharp terms for
failure to enact his program. He
will rely instead on public opinion
to achieve his aims.
Mr.. Truman was not expected to
ask for anything new, but merely
to restate and stress the need for
White House proposals already
pending before the House and Sen
ate.
His speech tonight marked a new
development in the presidential
technique of pressing legislation.
Usually. at the first of each year.
a president submits a state of the
union message to the congress.
then follows up with an explana-
tory address to the public.
The President now has reversed
this procedure. Congress is in a
holiday recess until Jan. IA. Mr..
Truman apparently feels it is more
strategic to get the people behind
his program while their legislative
representatives are on home
grounds and can sense public re-
action at first hand.
The chief executive was expected
to hold out to the nation the pros
poets for great prosperity if the
various elements of the American
population work together. He be-
lieves his proposals for such things
az full employment and labor dis
pute machinery can do much 10
insure that cooperation.
